    Yes, at the moment, the "We're not the Astros!" argument for optimism and maintaining the status quo, is off the table.

    The Twins always seem to play on edge nowadays. All season long, even in April and May, we hear about "huge" homestands, "critical" three-game series, losses that are "really frustrating," other losses that are rationalized away... and so on. I don't know if this constant urgency is communicated to the players or not, but if it is, then it's no wonder they burn out in September every year. Obviously this could all be pop psychology, but maybe not. I miss the days of TK and his "not too high, not too low" philosophy for making it through a six month season. Gardenhire and Kelly seem to be extreme opposites at this point. This is not to say the "win now" approach can't work; as you have said, the Twins led by Gardenhire have been able to win under pressure situations in the past (postseason notwithstanding) but it feels different now. This new urgency to win every night is one thing I think could disappear immediately with the hiring of a different manager with a different style. Let the guys relax and see what happens. Again, maybe just my perception.
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    By "putting players in charge" what I mean is allowing the personality of the players to come to the fore. Gardy has been around a long time and his presence is just too big anymore. That's my main beef with keeping him as manager.

    You had me until "Mientkiewicz" I just think Mientkiewicz brings too much hands-on Type A energy and I want Arcia & Co. to feel like they are the new guys in charge.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Oh well. Call me crazy, and I only saw the last couple innings, but this almost felt like a playoff game. Guys working at-bats, Plouffe's double, unbelievable. Arcia's throw from medium deep right -- I'll go to war any day of the week with that guy.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What is STAT Is that another one of your journalistic shortcuts?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I agree but that was one hell of a throw ...
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    ouch
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Rick Anderson comes out to tell Burton that Pujols is actually on second, that he can stop intentionally walking guys.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    nope he was just bracing for the hit *never mind*
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    On Fox they showed that quick little bumper highlight of Plouffe's game tying double to center.. did anybody else notice.. but did it look like Trout almost tried to catch that with his bare hand after it sailed over his glove? Man would that have been a highlight... Either way unbelievable clutch rally, Twinkies! EDIT: nope just bracing for the hit *never mind*
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Plouffsie!!! No bucket of Gatorade but close enough!
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Dozier is on top of Street... Hope he gets one fair inside the line...
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    you stole this from LaVelle E. Neal III ...
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    and I'd like to change about 80% of the picks I made - can I have you unlock that thread for a minute?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Haha, well some fans are happy to push a Ford than drive a Chevy..
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yep. The Twins need to just own it. Maybe you've found your professional calling after all. Also, the problem is not the marketing, as much as it is the Win-Loss record and management's complacency about doing anything about it.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I've often considered upgrading my $59.95 basic yearly Twins Daily membership in the hope that with the extra revenue, the mods might get an extra week of paid vacation every year.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Quit watching games JB / you will never learn
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes!
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yes!
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    On the money. They should just own it. Maybe you are in the wrong career field after all. Also, the problem is not the marketing, it's the Win-Loss record combined with management's apathy about doing anything about it.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Feel sorry for the sox? never
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    well welcome to TD... you and me are the only two who feel Meyer might not make it as a starter... take comfort though, as Randy Johnson took until his late 20s to get straightened out and Doug Fister (6-foot-8) didn't debut until age 25.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That's ok, I had you at +10.5
