  1. No idea. I guess they aren't as pessimistic as most of us. But that's something I've noted over the last 4 years that I've regularly listened to the Spanish broadcasts is that they're very optimistic about the Twins.
  2. On the other hand, on the Spanish broadcast Tony Oliva & Alfonso Fernandez still seem to be rather optimistic, both regarding this game tonight & the season.
  3. I bet you wouldn't be able to hear much of that interview on tv because almost every word would have to b bleeped out.
  4. Time to send May back to AAA until he learns how to pitch again.
  5. I don't think there's any way that Hughes could have been worse than Tonkin & May. Molitor is incompetent! Get May out of there!!
  6. Time for Molitor to be fired. He doesn't know how to manage. And why is May in instead of Abad? May has been awful this year too!
  7. This is an interesting comment. Before Sunday's Spanish broadcast Tyler Duffey was the pre-game interview. He commented about how in his previous start against the White Sox he had pitched pretty well, but in the end he gave up more runs than the White Sox pitchers and the Twins lost. He said that it doesn't matter how well he pitches, all that matters is getting the W at the end of the day. It seems like he has that attitude that you are looking for in the Twins players.
  8. How does Buxton's demotion to AAA affect his service time clock? I'm not very familiar with those rules... Does anyone else find the C names confusing? Between John Ryan Murphy, John Hicks & Aaron Hicks we have a funny duplication of names...
  9. Abad has been a surprise. But somewhere I read a comment by someone that indicated that his stats look better than they realistically are because of how he's been used. I don't know that much about how he's been used, but it was an interesting comment nonetheless. I hope to see him continue to excel.
  10. I'd hate to see him turn into another Carlos Gomez or David Ortiz, a player that the Twins gave up on for nothing before becoming a star.
  11. Hmmm... ok. What about batting him 2nd then? It just seems like there are so many first innings where the first two batters make outs & then Mauer singles. It seems like it would be better if he were batting 1st or 2nd in the lineup so that he would be getting on base before there are two outs.
  12. Any talk of batting Mauer leadoff with his high OBP?
  13. Why couldn't the Twins have hired someone like Joe Maddon a couple years ago?? He is absolutely worth his salary. Molitor, not so much...
  14. What a stupid base running mistake by Sano!!!! Tony Oliva in the Spanish broadcast said "oh no!" as soon as Sano rounded 2nd. Everyone knew he would be out.
  15. Why isn't Molitor using Abad in the high leverage situations? It seems that he's been a good pick up. Another drop by Escobar...
  16. Who's taking the over on 0.5 runs given up by Jepsen this inning? I'll take the over. Edit: Detroit just got a hit. Who'll take the over on 1.5 runs given up by Jepsen this inning?
  17. Twins should pinch hit now with Nuñez & then let Murphy catch the 9th.
  18. What's up with the poor defense? Seems like Rosario doesn't look that good out in LF...
  19. He certainly wasn't that good today...
  20. Detroit got off easy in that inning!
  21. Interesting option for players. What happens if the players decide to retire early or get hurt? Then is Fantex just out the money?
  22. Does the top of the green wall not count as a HR? I thought that was considered a HR.
  23. Can you get this SD/MD data for the bullpen for last season? I'd be curious to see what it shows for a full season of the poor bullpen performances that we witnessed. I don't really know how to use Fangraphs to search for data... Thanks!
  24. Will the Twins send Buxton to try a SB here?
