  1. Yeah, for people following at 35,000 feet... No score, bottom of sixth.
  2. Yeah but Pittsburgh is a long trip. Can you fit a used urinal trough on that little bullpen car? Didn't think so.
  3. "I think I'm right, therefore I am" - Hamlet (actually, I was thinking the same thing, about the same thing...)
  4. So.. the Twins packed up Fuld with some sandwiches and magazines and put him on the Greyhound for Pittsburgh, since flying aggravates concussion symptoms.. Ok I better stop while I'm ahead
  5. Would be nice to hear something about Fuld other than "cardio"
  6. Agreed. Gardenhire risks wearing Suzuki out too soon.
  7. Absolutely. There was a programming synergy during the WCCO days that suffered at KSTP and is non-existent at KTWN. That old radio model is a bit of an anachronism today but I bet the Pohlads could make it work if they wanted to, especially here. Meanwhile the MLB At Bat audio is a very reasonable deal and you get all local broadcasts and advertising of all MLB games, no radio "blackouts," plus all postseason games I believe.
  8. Ha ha.. Yeah he crushed it! Like 6 to 8 rows back in right center.
  9. I'm sorry you can't get the signal. This was a fun one. The Cardinals left KMOX about the time the Twins left 'CCO but the Cards returned to KMOX a couple years ago. I'd love if the Twins went back to AM. Baseball belongs there. My dad let me listen to ball games in bed at night in the summer and I tell you, I was hooked for life
  10. Chris Herrmann is in AAA Rochester learning how to rob home runs like Puckett, Hunter and Hicks?
  11. Welcome to the dark side, jjswol...... We can debate early injuries and Bartlett's retirement and such, but a narrow question for you, stringer bell, or whoever else comes along and cares to answer-- do you feel Gardy's outfield options were limited yesterday with Santana and Nunez in the outfield and Hicks and Kubel on the bench.
  12. Wow - good enough for me. Wild but dominant in HS (sort of dominant). Joe Nathan was converted from position player to pitcher in the minor leagues but I'm wondering if that wasn't right away in A ball or even rookie ball -early early in his career.
  13. It's an interesting thought and not unprecedented -- do you have any stats or sources?
  14. Broadly speaking, Suzuki has been doing well. It's defensible to let him keep catching. Specifically, I'm not sure how Kubel ever DH's ahead of Pinto or others anymore, regardless of the "handedness" of the opposing pitcher, especially in hindsight as it resulted in another 0-fer today. Kubel really needs to regain his stroke sometime before yesterday.
  15. I think Hicks is pretty good in center. Not the greatest, but can do the job. Hicks will probably need more game-situation batting practice than he's likely prepared to handle and sure, maybe it would be better if he could get that in AAA. But that's not really an option at the moment? Again: besides Fuld and Hicks, is there anyone else who can play center?
  16. Sconnie nailed it: DH was pinch hit for. well there's always tomorrow We are experiencing a never ending string of tomorrows... :-/
  17. ! it should be against the rules to win your own thread, RB..
  18. Guys on radio said it was a balk. Weird that that can't be reviewed.
  19. Yes. Experienced veterans with successful careers sometimes have trouble with those pitches. Hicksie will require a lot of batting practice..
  20. Escobar Ribbie! Maybe we should swap Escobar and Kubel in the order. Hey, trying to provide some small suggestions :)
  21. This is a game thread, Tibs. The Aaron Hicks thread is that way
  22. This is an Aaron Hicks thread, stringer bell. The game thread is that way enjoy the ball game at Target Field today
  23. Has Fuld said how he is doing?
