    Hopefully Gardy says "gotta tip your cap" a lot this week

    Can Ausmus still catch?

    You are so right. It is about production. Whatever their positions on the team, they still need to produce on the field. Non-producers don't have a big voice in the clubhouse. The front office was probably expecting either Buxton or Sano to take the next step and produce this year. I was sure hoping they would. Hope is not a strategy. I think the doom and gloom over Buxton is misplaced, but to each their own. I think he will be great. Just wish it would happen on my timeline, and not Buxton's own timeline. Also, my timeline is the 2018-2033 seasons.

    Leadership in this clubhouse could be a very compelling topic of discussion. How fair is it to appoint Buxton as a leader, since he's still pretty young hasn't produced over a full season yet? How fortunate are the Twins to have guys like Rosario, Kepler and Escobar to stand in while Buxton and Sano struggle or rehab? Is it even necessary for Sano to be a standout for this team to compete for a title? (I doubt it--the Twins would do fine without him.) Was it really wise for the Twins to sign Lynn? Did Lynn really have no other offers? What do we draw from that, and what does bringing a guy like that into the clubhouse do for the chemistry of the team and the current clubhouse leaders?

    What do you mean by "hot bat" theory? What's wrong with playing guys who are hitting well and sitting guys who need a break?
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What's wrong with just recognizing he's a slow starter?

    Don't worry about predicting Buxton would be in the MVP conversation. He'll figure it out. The foul ball off his toe set him back; he should have traveled with the team during his migraines or met up with the team in New York instead of going on that rehab, and I said as much at the time. It would be nice if Buxton was superhuman, unfortunately he's just human.

    For you:

    Something seems terribly off, and it will take something significant to get this back to where it was. They have the talent, but the will or chemistry is missing, in my opinion. There are a couple players on short term contracts I would release immediately, and just make do until replacements arrive. I know that's not the "prudent" thing to do, and the front office won't "waste an investment" or whatever, but this team feels off, and something drastic needs to be done.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good point. Why not have Cave bunt and save Garver? Not that Garver had a chance.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Joke team, joke loss. I want to see someone given their walking papers, now.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Every single batter on this team swings for the fences. It's getting old.

    Prince Harry served in Afghanistan. How awesome is that? http://a.abcnews.com/images/Entertainment/gty-prince-harry-invictus-games-03-jc-170607_4x3_992.jpg
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Although I am a huge fan of Harry
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Van,, whineline!!! Loved the open!
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree with all of that, but you got to admit this team is hugely disfunctional right now.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Just tuning in. Wondering which way that wind was blowing - in or out. I have my answer. Edit: also, that home run was not remotely wind-aided
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Mauer to DL This team has near zero credibility when announcing injury updates.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The older guys leaving -- on the whole, that sounds promising
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'm not going to make a prediction, but why do you think this team will look the same today as it will 30, 60, and 90 days from now?
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Sounds legit, just unfortunate it couldn't have healed up over the two off days he just had. Deciding it's too bad to play with, while in the on deck circle, is a nice twist. I have no idea which way this team is going to go this year.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Is this true? Update on Mauer from the Athletic: Joe Mauer exited Friday’s game with a stiff neck, the result of a diving attempt at a foul ball last weekend in Anaheim. Mauer is listed as day-to-day but sounds iffy to play in Saturday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers and could potentially miss Sunday, too. ... “I landed pretty hard and had some whiplash,” Mauer said. “Just been coming in and getting treatment and trying to get out there every day, but (Friday) I got out there and it started to stiffen up and get a little worse. I talked to the trainers and coaches and they thought it was best if I got out of there before it got any worse.” “I’d like to be in the lineup (Saturday), to be honest. It might take a day or two. Nothing more than that. I just think I need to let it calm down.”
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What a mess. The injury probably nagged at Castro and might explain his performance at the plate this year. Castro also had a terrible "catcher ERA" this year but his CS% was excellent. I don't personally mind Garver and Wilson for the short term, but each has real question marks. Within the next 30-60 days I predict either that the Twins make an outside acquisition, or that the glaring need for an outside acquisition becomes apparent.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think we're talking about Cobb. I always liked Cobb more than Lynn. Cobb hasn't been great his last few starts but not awful either. Like I said, sign them in January at latest so they can report on time with the other guys.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    meh, hot take alert: but I would be ok with Cobb's deal. His first couple starts you can chalk up to missing spring training. That's the key. Sign them in the normal signing period, otherwise these pitchers are just playing catch up through April.
