    Ryan stepped in it when he said Mauer can hit .300 next year. What if he doesn't?

    Good catch. That might actually be a good idea for the Twins, to find a starting pitcher willing to pinch run for a DH (for example, Sano's DH-ing with a bad hammy). Situation depending, of course. That way you don't commit a Nunez or Santana to PR then possibly meet a poor matchup later in game, causing you to lose an out to a poor match up, or lose the player to a pinch hitter.

    Radio. Also, internet.

    The worst part of the NL west is competing against the Dodgers and Giants every year.

    Detroit will regret bringing Ausmus back but I think it's too big a risk to sit out another season and hope that Detroit job opens back up (I believe the rumors that Gardy was headed there until Avila suddenly changed his mind). I want Gardy to go to Washington. But San Diego might move fast and make him an offer.

    Good question. You could easily see Hicks becoming a steadier presence now that the worst is behind him, or after going into a slump he might completely lose interest again. Maybe platooning is the right balance.

    Arcia actually plays better in right field. He makes the running or sliding catch towards the foul line better than Hunter, though probably not an overall defensive upgrade over Hunter. I mean Hicks.

    Next season I expect to see guys like Pressley, Meyer, and Burdi, get significant opportunities, and hopefully we will get caught up with the rest of the league.

    Not sure why you keep posting this question! Twins pitchers all season long talked about how the organization wants them to use six pitches to get two ground outs, instead of six pitches to get one strikeout. So much more efficient that way! It is a fine, fine idea which is completely removed from reality, because Twins pitchers do not have velocity, their pitches are easier to foul off or take for balls, so the end result is they one groundout on six pitches. EDIT yes I realize the average pitches per plate appearance is closer to 4, but I'm just reporting what guys like Gibson and Perkins have been saying. Also, I think pitching is more of a head game than numbers game, see: King Felix, etc, but that's just me.

    Is Plouffe's .220 average against fastballs (thanks for letting the cat out of the bag, by the way) something to be concerned about, or just an anomaly? It seems like one of those stats that's so obvious that maybe the opposing pitching coaches might not see it. "Their #5 hitter can't hit fastballs" is not something you would expect to hear very often.

    I'd almost rather have a rotation of Gibson, Meyer, Berrios, Duffey, Nolasco--the five guys you left off* That's why I'm not sure Ryan should have his sights set on a starting pitcher, unless he's truly of the Johnny Cueto ace type of pitcher. I was even a little stunned when Ervin Santana was signed. *not really, but it sounded good
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If Ryan signs a front line starting pitcher as you suggest he might, then what do you think the rotation would look like in 2016, then 2017?
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It was definitely a struggle to get hits at the end. We now know Dozier wasn't at 100% unfortunately. I'm not ready to call out Bruno but I think all the coaches and data guys need to get their heads together and figure out the next step. When your batting average leaders are Eduardo Nunez and Oswaldo Arcia, you might have a problem!
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Arizona Diamondbacks doing their best Washington Generals impersonation, so win or lose it's gonna be tough. I'm hitting the showers with Ervin Santana. Bring it on home, Twins Daily friends.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Damm I wanted Young to pitch to Dozier one more time. Because I can say with 100% certainty that Dozier would have went deep on him!
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I heard it--Bert said "major league level"! Everybody take your Coors, Fosters, Sam Adams, Molsons (if from Canada) and drink
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I hope this (lack of) activity on the game thread isn't a foreboding of the end of the Twins season. Because I was promised a fairy tale. I demand a fairy tale!

    Houston in the 1st inning, threatening to make the Twins and Angels games moot.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    We got the boppers coming up
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Chris Young is a big nothing pitcher. Lots of guys are hitting hard hit balls but right at the third baseman. And hopefully we see one more inning of him.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    CBU Royals-Twins 1-1 bottom 5 CBU Angels-Rangers 1-1 bottom 5
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    HAHA we all pulled the silent treatment on you twinsnorth49!! Now imagine everybody comes laughing and runs your head.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes. Just hold it. It was hit too soft to come to the plate. What can you do.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ok we still got this. Santana pitching fine. Just no more lead off doubles for the Royals.
