    At least it's data, so it's not all bad. Also, why can't the Twins be more toward the middle in lists like this.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Interestingly, Jose Batista batted leadoff last night. What's wrong with Polanco batting leadoff? He was on all the prospect lists.

    Here is a Brian Murphy column with extended quotes corroborating what I had suspected. Thank god at least one print writer in this market stepped up on this one. Here is the link if you are interested. http://www.twincities.com/2016/05/18/brian-murphy-twins-phil-hughes-needs-to-either-pitch-or-rest/

    Or the episode when Data got drunk, if that's your preference http://www.pagan-gerbil.net/images/blog/f4b5b1df90d7_7402/image.png

    I believe you. Yeah, that's what I really don't like about losses like this. MLB baseball players are living blessed existences, no need to feel sorry for them, and then, something like this happens.

    Close your eyes and hold your nose, and lots of things taste like chicken.

    You've got a subject/verb agreement problem there, my young gumshoe. Come back with a better story by next Tuesday.

    After everything with Molitor and Rosario yesterday, I literally cannot believe what I just saw.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I have never seen anything like this in my entire life.

    The important thing is that he struggles against righties and lefties equally (Disclaimer: Joke made for game thread purposes only. Abad has had a fairly good season)

    I have a spiffy new Snark-o-Meter which I can loan you (in other words, it was a weak throw)
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Shall I activate my spiffy new Snark-o-Meter to read this post correctly?
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'd rather see Sano and Polanco making those plays, but whatevs
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Like? Dislike? not sure
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Great catch by Danny Santana. Now can we end the Jepsen experiment??
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ruth to Punch Cobb
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I suppose he also drove her to Climax? (Climax is a town up near Fargo, people)
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    At least Mastroianni was called up to sit the bench. wait, why is that good?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Our record is 2-9 since Ryan "shook up" the roster with all those moves back on May 6.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Molitor has completely lost his ability to make good judgment. "Don't take the extra base." Give me a break. Somebody said it. If that had been Dozier or Mauer they would have been praised. As for your statement: "If the Twins are going to begin the transition to a roster of new young players, and take some lumps in the process, how about they at least instill a culture of aggressiveness while doing it." I really wonder if they want to make that transition. The Twins organization seems more interested in having quiet professionals and "quality guys" around, instead of guys who can win baseball games. Lots of people have joked about that the past few years but nothing is happening to disprove it.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Seth, what have you seen from Polanco that makes you believe he shouldn't be playing full time on the MLB team? And, is this his last option year?
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good catching me on that. Maybe he doesn't have a documented history but that is certainly my impression of him from following ballgames since he got here. I want pitchers who want to take the ball, or take the post, as Ryan likes to say in interviews. I think the OP made a pretty strong case that this is a trend with Hughes and that it's on the Twins to determine how he can help us win games. Class Act for turning down the bonus. If sacrificing that 1/3 inning was part of the consideration for the Twins offering him that big extension, I'd say he came out ahead.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I heard that Hughes told the coaches he was getting a little fatigued and that they should keep an eye on him. Getting fatigued after 6 innings and 70 pitches is worrisome no matter how you slice it. Maybe just one night, maybe not. He also has a history of not wanting to stay in games, which would be another concern.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe this is just groupthink. Plus, if Polanco can't stick at short, then why is he around at all. It will be the Plouffe/Sano situation all over again, since Dozier's got second locked up and Escobar and Nunez can also fill in there. Polanco can play short until the fans see that he can't--that's the position I'm taking Polanco had a half dozen chances tonight and did fine. One of them was a highlight reel play.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Seth, I think MLB would have to change their rules about # of fielders allowed on the field to accommodate all the players you want to play. Polanco did not need to be demoted to play full time, in my opinion. He could just as easily have been moved around here with the Twins and played everyday, even while keeping Numez's bat in the lineup while Escobar was on the DL. And in all his callups the past few years Polanco has not really looked overmatched at the plate. We missed a nice opportunity to get him in the line up every day to see what he could do.
