    I declare this point irrelevant unless you also post the box score.
  2. scottz
    Disagree. I am watching every box score. If someone else hadn't done it, I would have posted it myself. I wanted him to succeed here. He didn't. I hope he succeeds elsewhere. I will pay attention daily.

    Also fun to note that his 3 for 5 night tonight started with a left-hander on the mound for Boston.

    No. You're wrong. YA BURNT, TOO

    I agree with everyone. Please like this post. Or quote it and tell me that I'm wrong.

    2,500:1

    scottz replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    If it were 2500:1 on next year, I'd throw $20 at it. Maybe even $50. There is a lot of time for moves to be made to improve this terrible team next year where we may have a glimmer of hope. And we may have a new GM to make it happen. Maybe. We'll see. But for this year? No, no. That $20 would be better off putting it on a hand of blackjack, and just letting it ride for 11 straight wins and walking away with $41K.

    Disagree with a large premise of the article that he was sulking in Rochester. Other than that, thanks for sharing.

    Las Vegas?

    I agree. We need to dump Sano from the outfield immediately. While he's on the DL. Tell him he's playing 3rd now so his hamstring can soak in the good news and heal up properly. Tell Plouffe he'll make a great cheerleader.

    It could be worse, I suppose. It could have been in the first inning of the first game of a playoff series against the Yankees. Bottom of the 1st, Twins Batting, Tied 0-0, Yankees' CC Sabathia facing 1-2-3 b1 0-0 0 --- 5,(2-2) MIN D. Span C. Sabathia -4% 42% Single to LF (Ground Ball) b1 0-0 0 1-- 1,(0-0) O MIN O. Hudson C. Sabathia 2% 43% Bunt Groundout: P-1B/Sacrifice; Span to 2B b1 0-0 1 -2- 5,(2-2) O MIN J. Mauer C. Sabathia 3% 47% Strikeout Swinging b1 0-0 2 -2- 2,(0-1) O MIN D. Young C. Sabathia 3% 50% Groundout: 2B-1B 0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors, 1 LOB. Yankees 0, Twins 0. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIN/MIN201010060.shtml Teach all the players. Bunt early, bunt often.

    "The Red Wings starter was spotted an early 1-0 lead in the second inning when Eddie Rosario led off with a single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, and scored on a Tommy Field single to left field." Let's keep sacrifice bunting early in games. Teach everyone to sac bunt when it is 0-0 in the 2nd. When they get to the bigs, they'll know just what to do.

    Andrew Albers = Tommy Milone ???
  14. scottz
    Well that changes Circumstances. I declare this thread null and void.

    At my college roommate's graduation party, I ended up making out with a hottie named Darcy for a good long time. To make this relevant to the game thread and baseball in general, you need to know that I like baseball and she happened to be at this party and Riverbrian mentioned graduation parties and that was the first thing I thought of. DID I WIN YET? Yes I did.
  16. scottz
    Well, I'd like to hang around and see how this all plays out - I can't quite tell if we're going to lose 5-1 or 8-1. But I have to go coach my son's U10 Rec League soccer game...a sport I never played other than on the playground at school where guys would regularly catch the ball with their arms and run awhile claiming that it was legal because they didn't "use their hands." I'm guess what I'm saying is, maybe the Twins should try to cheat.
  17. scottz
    Yes...infrequently. But if we're talking about today, I'm in on that question: DID WE WIN YET?!?!
  18. scottz
    .202/.294/.329 (.624 OPS) in the 3-hole! GO TEAM Catcher batting immediately before slightly faster center fielder! GO TEAM I'll stop right there. GOOOOOOO TEAM

    This might be a little off thread, but Robbie Grossman: Minnesota Twins 2016 All-Star Representative? 0.444/.524/.722 (1.246 OPS). Three year extension. Grinder. PAY THAT MAN HIS MONEY.

    We can't lose if we don't play! C'mon, rain!

    I think this is fair, and I can give Dozier the benefit of the doubt to a degree...but there are a few things going on that make me scratch my head a bit. The GM tells the reporter that the player needs to get fixed, the reporter tells the player (assuming linear facts and storytelling, which may be a big assumption), and the player's response is to smile and shake his head? Then, at the end of the story, the same player declares himself "the leader of the team?" There's something wrong there. First, I'm not sure I've ever heard anybody on the team say anything to the effect of "Dozier is the guy we follow." I'm not saying it isn't out there, but I don't know that I get that feeling that anyone in that locker room is ready to go to war for Dozier. Second, if you really are the leader, and you're hitting .199, and you are informed that the GM says you need to get fixed, don't you pause for a minute and recognize that the buck stops with your performance? If you are the leader, don't you at least say, "boy, I wish he was wrong, but he's not. I really have to find a way to change what is happening." You can still say that you've been feeling good and hitting the ball square, but how do you not agree with the statement that adjustments need to be made? I hope he sits for 3-4 games. Then, I hope he recognizes that maybe there are some adjustments that need to be made. Then, I hope he makes them. Then, if he doesn't after about a week, I hope he goes to AAA until he does.
  22. scottz
    We got him.
  23. scottz
    Brian Dozier = Kurt Suzuki without the 1,000 hits?
  24. scottz
    DID WE WIN YET?! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! OH YEAH!!!! TAKE THAT TWINS DAILY! FEEL MY HEAT! SMELL MY MUSK!
  25. scottz
    Nice post. I was about to say the same thing.
