    yeah that's not a bad idea. I'd move those three down, too, but that means moving guys up who don't deserve to be up there. I'd bat Buxton 6th or 7th, not sure why. When he's on base, he affects the game, and batting him 9th assures he'll have the least chances to get on base. Not that he's getting on base much now. Also, I'd hope Mauer comes back soon, although that's not likely.

    get this guy back

    Glad I got caught up on this thread. I like Hughes as a person, but wasn't really interested in him as a MLB pitcher anymore, just as long as he wasn't pitching in close Twins games. Levine suggested on Sunday that cash (such as it is) from the Hughes-San Diego deal could be used in free agency next winter. We'll see, and I'm not really interested in any more of the bargain-types that we saw signed last winter. Hard to believe, but Carl Pohlad, 30 years ago, made Kirby Puckett the highest paid player in MLB at one point. I'm too young to appreciate that, but know well enough the Jim Pohlad is interesting in keeping every dirty cent he can and putting it back in his pocket. But, this front office is new in town, and a little on the young side themselves, so we might hear the same "all in" language next winter we heard last winter with Darvish. Better if Levine just says they will use the Hughes money to lock up one of our current guys, or work a trade, which truthfully to me is more desirable than gambling in free agency (given that you get what you pay for).

    It would be interesting to see if anyone in this thread was in the "sellers" camp last August. Thanks

    A team that can pitch but cannot hit is better to watch than a team that can't pitch, so we have that going for us
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    or she

    Should have pulled Berrios after the fourth, after the second time through the order

    I'd have Buxton keep tinkering with his stride and tracking the ball. Sometimes that means knowing you are going to be taking more pitches and let some good ones go by. Not sure what he swing rate is at recently. But I would have that all happen here in the majors. He looks really stiff at the plate. No stride or toe tap when he was swinging last night. I think long term he goes back to the leg kick even though the toe tap worked for him last season. Lots of good hitters play their entire careers continually fiddling with their swing. I would prefer Cave in the outfield to Grossman at this point.

    You and others have made this point over and over and over, in multiple threads. I come to this thread thinking someone has something new to say. What do you suggest be done? "Send him to AAA" --- then what?
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    kind of like that scene in Sideways, when he takes his prized wine to a burger place?

    Free baseball Top of the order for the Twins in the 10th
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    its a valid point because Odorizzi runs high pitch counts, but the hardest job of a manager is when to pull the starter
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think Adrianza has looked mediocre, but maybe Fangraphs tells a different story
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    i think once managers figure this out, you will never, ever see any starter face the leadoff man the third time. 18 batters and done, all starters pulled at the leadoff guy, every time
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    seems like an overreaction, but I'm just a blogger on the internet
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    you'd think if the front office is scouring for utility guys in the offseason, they would sign guys who can field reliably. Adrianza and Petit apparently can't.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    good luck with that
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The lineup really misses Mauer
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Buxton needs to relax and bring back the leg kick. Paging Parker, paging Parker
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Four OF's For real Update: and Seager grounds it to one of the two infielders
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Just noticed Odorizzi is pitching from a wind up. Didn't he chuck the windup for a time? An abbreviated windup, anyway
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    They are hibernating. They'll wake up. Not gonna guess when, tho
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Need some communication out there, fellas
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
