    Dude, seriously...it's all fine and good to buy yourself a jersey, but I think it's over the line to make your 9 year old buy you one too.
  2. USAFChief
    still sticking to the "it was just water" storyline I see.
  3. USAFChief
    yes, I'd want him up. The Twins first concern should be 2015. Long term concerns should come after immediate concerns for a team in contention in July. Not to mention, he is out of options in 2016, so it's time to get started learning if he is a piece of the future.

    A couple things...Hicks is not physically the same as he was even a year ago. He is much bigger and stronger. I think that has helped him be a more dangerous hitter, particularly ularly from the left side. While the results weren't there so much earlier this year, his approach at the plate was vastly improved, IMO. More aggressive, looking for balls to hit, rather than balls to take. There's a difference between plate discipline and a too passive approach. I could be wrong, but I've always liked his potential, and I believe he will hit enough to be a good corner OFer if/when Buxton pushes him off CF.

    It's very difficult for me to believe he wouldn't help the Twins more over the rest of the season than Robinson. Bring him up.
  6. USAFChief
    And speaking ofMay, it's my opinion he does potentially more good as a late inning reliever than a starter for this edition of the Twins. The difference between what he could be in that role and the guys he would replace is bigger and more impact full than the difference between him and Pelfrey in the rotation.
  7. USAFChief
    converting him to a late inning reliever is a process. ..one that can't be done over night.
  8. USAFChief
    so...you are arguing May should have been out of the rotation sooner?
  9. USAFChief
    They have a plan...May temporarily to the pen while they evaluate the other starters. Mean while, protect May's arm, which isn't accustomed to short reliever warm up or usage patterns. If he stays in the pen, then start conditioning him to that role. You can't just take a guy who is used to pitching in long stretches every fifth day and one day ask him to immediately learn how to be ready in 15 pitches. And do it on back to back days.

    This one is rather baffling. After Feliz cleared wiavers it would have been easy to work out a deal by offering to pay a bit more than the minimum salary. Instead they waste time on Scott Atchison.

    Wow!

    I liked his version better.
  12. USAFChief
    WInnah!!1! !

    If one of Sano/Arcia is in the OF, you think it will be Sano? I'd bet a lot of money against that.
  14. USAFChief
    was it a surprise to Molitor that Robinson was due up next? Shouldn't that be part of the decision process? Sac bunting early in a game is bad strategy. Always.
  15. USAFChief
    Arcia would certainly help more than Robinson. He's out of options next year. Either get him up to help, or trade him for something that will help. Him playing in AAA does no good.
  16. USAFChief
    I've said it before, I'll say it again. ..lose late with a reliever, it's on the reliever. Lose late with a starter, it's on the manager. I'll give Molitor a small bit of slack here...none of us want the to see the bullpen in a close game, I'm sure he doesn't either. But you can't let your starter lose the game in the 8th. You just cant.
  17. USAFChief
    ditto.
  18. USAFChief
    Back on topic...what kind of car does Hicks drive?
  19. USAFChief
    OK, enjoyed it folks. bring home a "winnah" for me. All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go. The taxi's waitin', blowin' his horn. I'm leaving on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again. Oh VodkaDave, I hate to go.
  20. USAFChief
    How do you swing and miss 3-0?
  21. USAFChief
    c'mon Eddie. in play, run(s) please.
  22. USAFChief
    Mauer with the worst AB of the day?
  23. USAFChief
    I want to like Danny Santana. But he can make it hard to do.
  24. USAFChief
    Out of it with 1 run is acceptable. It's a shame he lost Walker after the leadoff triple...had him 0-2.
  25. USAFChief
    great baserunning all around!
