  1. Still maybe a little hurt he was sent off. Span's a sensitive guy. Human nature.
  2. Haha Ausmus moves his perfectly good veteran center fielder Rajai Davis into a corner outfield spot in favor of a young guy in center who spent most of the year in the minors. Who coulda thunk anything bad might happen Gardy > Ausmus
  3. Perkins-si. Perkety-Perk-Perk-Perk. Perkerooski. Perktacular.
  4. last night's starter was Swarzak, so we know that this reason can't be it... Also, Cheryl Tiegs.
  5. Another night on the bench, another night of instructional conversation between Steinbach and Pinto on the finer points of catching at the Major League level...
  6. Can you elaborate on the claim that this is a talentless roster? Not trying to make this personal, I just want to understand why people believe this. The back end of the rotation is bad; I get it. What about the rest?
  7. was she on tv too or just radio? I heard it too, and I've never been more entertained......
  8. What is the latest rumor/update with the Saints new ballpark in Lowertown? (downtown St Paul) -- I heard that with some upgrades that would be a possible location.
  9. Josmil Pinto probably asked for the day off, coming off of catching the doubleheader Saturday followed by day game Sunday.
  10. Maybe we retain Gardy and stumble into another 90-win season one of these years, but unfortunately Gardy (whatever his strengths) is an old dog as predictable as the day is long and a sharp opponent should have no trouble lining up a postseason series against us anymore. see also New York Yankees, 2009-2010.
  11. Terry Ryan gave a huge vote of confidence to Escobar on his show yesterday, so there's that.
  12. Keep singing the Schafer song... I've got your flank. Ever since Delmon and slow footed Willingham, I just think it's nice to have someone with speed and a glove out there.
  13. Fred Gwynne for next Twins Manager! 2015! oh I mean Gene Glynn not Fred Gwynne... Minnesota sports... *sigh*
  14. Yes with the Vikings trailing 67-5 at half we can al zero in on the Twins pennant race...
  15. At least Josmil Pinto has gotten some work at catcher this series!!!!!!!! oh wait......
  16. 1-1/2 innings complete, 1 hour elapsed,... game might not be over at press time.
  17. Arcia! Now has three runs to his credit to give back in the outfield.
  18. Pinto hurt - anybody heard? Or maybe just given his unconditional release?
  19. Well, Quintana is at 103 pitches, so we know he automatically by rule needs to be removed from the game..
  20. Middle of sixth inning: Quintana 11 K's, Hughes 9 K's.
  21. Geez, what's the record for K's in a game? Kerry Wood - 20? Will Hughesie knock that record down today?
  22. Nice write up. Can't resist adding my 2 cents: 1. Concussion, proud papa, position change, a lot going on this offseason. Joe should rebound. 2. I don't know why but I am comfortable with Schafer as LF for 2015. 3. Starting Pitching? No comment. 4. Home field advantage will return when the team starts winning. 5. Fundamentals. Coaching. Somebody in the organization, probably Ryan, saw that a guy like Molitor (a HOF infielder) could come in and work regularly with Dozier and Plouffe, and both those guys are completing very good seasons. Maybe Ryan or Molitor can in turn identify a potential outfield coach who might come in and work with Hicks, Santana, Arcia, and others. Not to mention the dire need (imo) for an additional Latin American presence.
  23. Danny Santana, Games started by POS, since September call ups (9/2) (through game 1 doubleheader): CF: 5 SS: 2 did not start: 3 I guess what I take from this is 1. the Twins are happy with Escobar at SS and Santana in CF (I can't complain about that); and 2. Hicks does not have a future on a Gardy-managed team. If Santana continues to get the bulk of the time in CF, I'd assume the Twins will lean towards using him as a stop gap in CF until Buxton comes up.
  24. Like TD poster LaBombo said in another thread somewhere (I am paraphrasing), the burden of proof really needs to fall on the "keep Gardy" people this time around.. And we're talking something real compelling. No more "because prospects" or that Ryan "takes full responsibility" for the horrible players the Twins have. (which by the way is patently false, in my opinion)
