  1. Agreed, all Hicks needs is someone to tell him to swing more, that will fix things.
  2. If he is going to use his fame to try to get his beliefs embedded into law, then there is every reason to continue to bring it up. As long as he tries to do so, people should ask him about it. Otherwise, he should stay out of politics.
  3. If the Ryan quote is real.....they are going with Hicks/Shaefer? Super. It's worked so well the last two years not having a legit CF, why not try a third year? I suppose it is possible Rosario is here out of spring training, but it seems unlike the Twins to do that. No way Buxton is here for at least 2-3 months... I think, if their strategy is to abandon defense, they are still short of offense.
  4. It isn't old news when Hunter appears in political ads just last month.......it isn't old news.
  5. I had to reboot my ipad after the last update to get video to work. Like, days later. Works fine now.
  6. When would it have been ok to ask about defense and his beliefs? The second press conference, the third?
  7. Other fans do, though, apparently. I wonder how Goin feels about Hunter calling his job stupid, basically.
  8. When I check notifications on my phone (chrome), the number does not disappear from the popup that you use to move around (forums, notifications, messages, etc).
  9. Agreed. Did anyone ask TR about the defense/non-strikeout pitching staff yet? I didn't get to hear it, as I was in the dentist chair. The media here is largely a PR machine for the teams (though, in fairness, that's probably true in most cities).
  10. But Torii gets to make political statements and make advertisements in support of politicians based on those beliefs? That's the price you pay, if you speak up, you get asked about it. Either way, completely unprofessional to call someone a prick. Good start, Torii.
  11. I think Nebraska messed up, but Michigan made the right decision. I think Kill is a very good coach, even if I disagree with his punting decisions late in games, and the pace the O moves in the 4th quarter when they are behind. An average QB, and a better pass rush would really help.
  12. True.....but employees that disrespect their bosses in front of other people are usually moved along at some point.....but yes, I get your point.
  13. Wait, did someone just type that the SP staff would be top 10 in the league next year?
  14. Jokingly, or seriously? Either way, not professional.....if the new fieriness is about being a jerk to the media, yuck.
  15. Buxton won't be up until September....how much mentoring is he getting? No idea where Rosario plays, since the Twins had him play in LF in the AFL......who is he mentoring? Hicks? Yuck.
  16. Agree with Mr. Buhr.......there are plenty of guys that need to move up. I'd like a pitcher or two, maybe a 3B, but that's about it, I'd guess.* *I gave that about 5 seconds of thought, I reserve the right to amend my comments later
  17. I have... I have said maybe they are just trying to outscore the other team this year, I've said it like three times now....
  18. I agree they are lacking fieriness.
  19. I was told that was part of the announcement.....that Hunter would be in RF, and Arcia in LF. If not, as I said, this decreases to hate, not super hate, the move. It might even drop it to dislike.
  20. Not because of Young being left......that was just a better team. Like I said in another post, maybe they are just going to try to outscore everyone. It has worked for other teams.
  21. Look, I'm trying hard not to post about his beliefs, and the hypocrisy of his statements about very bad behavior that he finds acceptable.......but if we really want to talk about what a great guy he is, I'm sorely tempted to offer pages of links about what a great guy he isn't...... If Hunter thinks it is more likely he'll win in MN than in TX, are we supposed to admire his baseball IQ? Do people really think that MN will be better than TX next year?
  22. Where is the LOVE button when you need it?
  23. Tell that to Delmon Young, chief..... when did Arcia last play LF? If he takes bad routes, is that likely to improve seeing the ball in another angle? If he isn't super fast, is moving him to the larger field a good idea? If Hunter is gone in a year, and Arcia is your RF after that.....why not leave Arcia in RF, and move Torri, I'm a great leader and teammate and will do whatever it takes to win, to LF?
