    Chris Herrmann is in AAA Rochester learning how to rob home runs like Puckett, Hunter and Hicks?

    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.
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It's an interesting thought and not unprecedented -- do you have any stats or sources?
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Sconnie nailed it: DH was pinch hit for. well there's always tomorrow We are experiencing a never ending string of tomorrows... :-/

    ! it should be against the rules to win your own thread, RB..
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Guys on radio said it was a balk. Weird that that can't be reviewed.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes. Experienced veterans with successful careers sometimes have trouble with those pitches. Hicksie will require a lot of batting practice..
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Bueller?
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Escobar Ribbie! Maybe we should swap Escobar and Kubel in the order. Hey, trying to provide some small suggestions :)
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This is a game thread, Tibs. The Aaron Hicks thread is that way
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This is an Aaron Hicks thread, stringer bell. The game thread is that way enjoy the ball game at Target Field today
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Has Fuld said how he is doing?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thanks for the info -- it's good to get these reports from the postgames, as I don't usually catch them but just a few sound bites later on. Also good to finally see guys like Reusse and Bremer starting to ask out loud what some of us have been asking for quite a while.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    not my best stuff but thanks
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hicks is probably an average center fielder at best (winging it, no stats to back it up) but he has a nice arm, some speed, can field his position. Yet none of our other outfielders are anywhere near Hicks's ability. Yet Hicks rode pine today. Future outfield… I will take a crack at tomorrow's. I would guess it will include Willingham, Hicks, Arcia (regardless of "handedness" of pitcher) but with that dirty dog Gardenhire you never know what you're going to see out there. Might cost us a ballgame but at least it will entertain and this is the entertainment biz after all
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Final Score: 8-1. Two infielders played in the outfield today, which led directly to the first two runs being scored in the 1st inning and to several other cringeworthy fly ball outs and ugly plays later in the game. Meanwhile Hicks and Kubel sat on the bench. Genuinely trying to figure out why this was tolerated. Help!
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yes
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Karnak: six inches, a couple feet, six inches. Ed: six inches, a couple feet, and six inches.. .. .. Johnny sneers, audience laughs, Johnny opens envelope Karnak (reads envelope): by how much did Mauer miss the ball on his three strikeouts today
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    x 1000. I would rather have Hicks and Kubel and a chance for a couple base on balls, than two infielders in the outfield.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Drinking game every time RF Parmelee calls of CF Santana to make a catch in center
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well the Twins get out of the first inning when Right Fielder Parmelee ranges into shallow center field to catch a short fly for the third out.
