  1. "ride the hot hand"....how does that work? One bad game, you stop? Two? How do you know when a streak starts or stops? I'm genuinely curious how a manager should manage based on streaks.
  2. I do hope they decide to use more guys.......so no one gets burned.
  3. Not in 4E.......
  4. Cute, he typed rouge......very nice! But, I don't think that is a D&D slip up........alas for his coolness score!
  5. I think if they want Sano to be a RF, they should keep him in RF. Frankly, I'd put him back at 3B if Plouffe is out, but I'm not privvy to their long term plans.
  6. I use "random" caps to EMPHASIZE a point. But, it is interesting, some here take it as mean. I don't get that. Van, what is YOUR hot take on this crucial internet issue?
  7. Meh.......Tomorrow is national garlic day, one of the most essential ingredients in cooking, maybe after salt and water it is third (or maybe onion is third)......
  8. Well, if he's going to sit around, I'd rather he hit in AAA.....and they call up someone else (if Plouffe goes on the DL)...... I get the hot hand thing, but let's be honest, Nunez is not an every day MLB starter, unless some super rare event happens and all the previous years are not an indication of his "true" talent. The sooner they find out if Polanco can hit MLB pitching, the better, imo.
  9. I'd call up Polanco, if Plouffe goes on the DL. It's time to give him a legit MLB shot* *well, maybe not TIME, but I'd do it anyway.
  10. ? What uproar? Most people wanted him at the top of the order?
  11. Great post. The problem with the trade was that it kept them from finding a real catcher. Aim low. Go low.
  12. If we hear from van this soon, it will be like watching the twins "hit".
  13. Mauer sacrificed in the first inning? You cannot be serious.
  14. What more would Sano have to do than what he did last year, to push him off the team? Be even more awesomer?
  15. Did someone just type that Nunez is leading off, and Escobar is hitting 7th?
  16. See, I can like posts I don't totally agree with! I especially dig the last sentence, man.
  17. That's fine...... but you aren't trading him for nothing. You are freeing up $8MM. You are freeing up a position for your best prospect. It's not different than offering early retirement to clear space for younger IT workers.......so no, it isn't 100% bad 100% of the time.
  18. I do wonder who the vocal leader is.......we have no way of knowing, but it also appears there isn't one.
  19. If you were doing this from a locked down work computer, you wouldn't be having these problems
  20. I also don't think he's a flop. that doesn't mean, imo, that we can't wonder why he's not good.......this isn't a random prospect. I suppose it is just possibly that the Twins leadership is 100% off on his readiness. That raises other questions.....
  21. I voted yes. We all get to be here and entertained, even if the Twins aren't winning, and we aren't entertained the way we expected. Now, if you are asking about the Twins.....tonight is the NIGHT. Because my wife could have had free tickets, but didn't get them.....probably a no hitter, and about 10 HRs for the Twins.
  22. So I shouldn't expect Buxton to be even good as a hitter this year?
  23. I won't speak for jimmer, but I'm not judging him.....I'm asking why we should set our expectations LOW for one of the top prospects in all the game. He's not a random prospect.
  24. If you thought he might play OF in the majors, you might want him to do so in the minors. If you didn't think that.......why is he?
  25. the world is a different place. Baseball is much more the game of the young. Look around the league, "prime" is dropping, and starting ages are dropping. Buxton was/is the #1 prospect in all of baseball, not some random prospect. There should be high expectations for that kind of player, imo.
