    I like Parms.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What was wrong with LeCroy-zie? Are you on board with is, or are you not?
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    YES! I KNEW IT!

    The problem is a CF audition in the middle of July/August is a really bad idea for a team trying to make the playoffs. So you either target a hands down starter, or roll with Fuld full time, with the occasional sneaky good play like Parmelee yesterday or Santana, when match ups warrant.

    Kansas City has owned us but the other games are winnable (except the Felix game -- yes he lines up against us). We can hang around .500 if someone above the age of 21 will ever step up and start to hit again.

    No one on this thread has cheerleaded for Molitor yet, so let me be that guy. Molitor falls more into the TK temperament than the Gardy temperament. Which would also rule out Ozzie, Douggie, and Redmond for me. That's not to say TK didn't have an edginess, but Gardy's just got too much personality and clubhouse presence for my taste. I'd like to see the next manager just fade into the background, someone who lets the young guys put their own stamp on the next winning Twins teams. Also, someone already close to the team who knows the Twins community inside out. Seems like Molitor could be the guy, though I'm not wedded to him.

    You're always in good hands with Dewey, Cheatham, & Howe.

    Overall, it sounds like Polanco had a successful audition this weekend. I'm hoping this accelerates his path back to the majors, maybe even to compete as a full timer sometime next year or the spring after. Why not?
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe the Twins try divorcing Nolasco from Suzuki?
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I heard it on the radio too. You are absolutely right. Perk was all business and it came through in Provus's call.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I kind of liked the starting lineup today before the game, I liked the late inning substitutions, and I loved the end result.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You make a valid point. The wisecracks and nitpicking gets tiring and I am one of those who can improve. But yes in this case I would expect some hand-waving from the coaches if Polanco was truly out of position and needed to fix it. And that might be on Molitor as infield coach. But then as you said, it was an 8th-inning, 5-run deficit at that point, low pressure, so maybe Molitor weighed the situation and decided to just let the kid play, and correct/coach after the inning if necessary. On the other hand, Gardy and Molly might have felt that starting Polanco today would require too much attention for nine innings -- positioning, covering bases, etc. -- and that would be a valid reason for keeping him on the bench too. (setting aside the whole Florimon question.) Handshake.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Twins coaches are bound by a confidentiality agreement not to tell him anything out there? Got it.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I guess the futures game will have to wait til next year.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes, because its slightly more likely a ball will be hit somewhere else than shortstop.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Especially with backup CF Florimon already out of the game.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I call "wall" after you.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe we should pinch hit him for Florimon earlier in the game tomorrow, like, in the top of the 2nd.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Slow ground ball misplayed by third baseman
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ok rook, let see what ya got
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    And its...Sam Fuld!
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Everybody come back! The tying run is on deck!
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I also feel the Twins made their own bed on this. Nunez said he was ready to go. Anthony said Nunez was available off the bench. Then the Twins called up Pino for a spot start; fine. But instead of sending out a pitcher in exchange for Pino, they put the healthy Nunez on the DL.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That's what I was thinking - somehow Joe still looks ordinary!
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree. I just tried it on, above. It didn't feel right. But then, what's your explanation. Ok time to let it go … Tonight, Florimon's our guy.
