    I had to google the Monty Python Ralph the wonder llama reference. Which is unfortunate because I was a Monty Python groupie-wannabe back in the day. Shows what I know... I have no idea what that creature is. I only posted that photo because I want one.

    I don't know how he hits baseballs so far. He also has a camaraderie with his teammates, which is really fun to see. One concern would be if Park can handle being pitched inside. Maybe KBO pitchers don't pitch inside--don't know. Maybe heat maps show there is no concern. Park swung a Sale slider that hit him in the knee (don't worry, you're not the first!) but the umps gave him a break. Another time, a high inside fastball came, and to get out of the way he didn't know if he should spin away from it or lean back, limbo style. He did a little of both and it wasn't pretty. But, Park seems to be otherwise adjusting to MLB pitching just fine and as jimbo said, plays a great first base and knows the position intuitively. I'm a huge Park fan!

    In case nobody knows what you are talking about....... http://s2.favim.com/610/150904/art-beautiful-funny-horse-Favim.com-3237983.jpg

    You hate to get your starting pitchers all warmed up, and then have them only pitch 6 innings before the rain comes. (oh wait, that's how Phil Hughes got his only victory this year)
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    People know it didn't actually rain in downtown Minneapolis tonight, right?
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The good news about this rainout is that everyone who came down to Target Field won't have to run back to their cars or drive back home in the rain.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    naw it aint
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Is this one of those rain delays where it's not actually raining and not going to rain until about 9:30 but they will wait it out for a couple hours then get tired of waiting it out because it's not actually raining so they start the game at 9:30 since it's not raining...and then it rains in the third inning? Is this one of those?

    Great post. I can imagine your grandfather (or somebody's grandfather) as a college football player, posing in an old sepia photo from the 30s, 40s or whenever, wearing the leather helmet, the gridiron stretching far behind him, down in a three point stance, looking slightly off camera. The Twins belong to all of us. It is getting difficult. Even if you throw out the 0-9 start to the season, and just consider the 8-14 record since then, that would still be the worst win percentage in the AL. So it's ugly. Also, there are no guarantees this will get better in future years if the Twins don't develop their talent properly or if they continue to play them out of position. They need to get rid of underperforming veterans and make room for the younger, better guys. And like you said, leadership is a missing piece in this. It's hard to tell what role leadership plays. Even though his best years are behind him, there is no way this team would be 8-23 if Torii was still here.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    In my opinion it is the veterans who are underperforming. I don't know what makes Molitor tick. A couple times last week he batted Murphy 8th, and Eduardo Nunez 9th. Nunez has been our best, most consistent hitter. He was hitting last. Nunez's batting average was literally .300 points higher than Murphy's average yet Murphy was hitting above him. I am perfectly willing to watch the prospects make a few mistakes and learn the game. These guys are in their early 20s. Dumb base running mistakes is part of the process, as long as the coaching is sound and the players learn from it. The game is faster in MLB. Sano is not letting me down. He hit a pop up almost to the center field warning track in the 8th today. A couple millimeters down the bat barrel and it's a long home run and tie game. As you said, he is making good contact, and those will even out.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe he didn't do anything with the chances he got, but I disagree he got every chance and then some. The Twins tried to make him into a corner outfielder at one point. Because of his big bat I am assuming. He didn't even catch in 2014 (one MLB inning the entire season). Even in Rochester in 2014 he played more outfield than catcher. Now if they had ever traded him at any point during that stretch, they probably would have gotten no more than Palka anyway. But just to play the hindsight card, it would be nice to have some good catching here right now, instead of another strikeout prone outfield prospect in the minors. So far, Herrmann is playing in Arizona twice as much as he played here, give or take.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I wouldn't know. I will take your word for it. Small sample of course. Maybe he just needed a change of scene.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Speaking of Herrmann. He hit a game winning home run today. Now I wonder if he got a fair look here. He seems to be doing well with more regular playing time.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Dishonour not your mothers this day!
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    How about we work Mauer into the lineup today and give Mastroianni a much needed day off
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    How many games would he need to pitch for everyone to agree on his performance without seeing him in person?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Always remember, the Twins have more information than you
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    With the Wolves hiring Tibs and now the Wild hiring a good coach, the pressure is on Pohlad. Maybe we can lure Joe Torre away from the commissioner's office. Or maybe Casey Stengel wants to come back.

    It's the fish photo illusion. The hand is actually far away and the fish is held closer.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Twins Daily game thread. The only place that makes me wish I was OLDER than I actually am.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    By the end of the month we will be winning games by 4,960 runs!
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Kintzler works out of jam. Still makes no sense.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don't necessarily want him to do that, but I would like to hear what he has to say
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    We are seeing the reappearance of the strikezoid shaped strike zone
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'm not too worried about Polanco wandering too far off second on a grounder to short. All part of the learning process. Most rookies make a couple of those. It won't cost us the World Series this year. Not to mention the well struck double he had off of Sale.
