  1. Julien can work on his defense all he wants, and it'll help, but the basic problem is "stone hands." And that's just about impossible to completely fix.
  2. Posted the same in game thread a few days ago. There's got to be a reason he's not playing SS.
  3. Humor me here...explain to me how Wallner being on or off the club is related in any way to Santana's status as the regular first baseman.
  4. Better to just ignore problems and trust they resolve themselves.
  5. IMO, counting on Lewis is particularly optimistic. This marks the 3rd soft tissue injury in basically half a season. I don't think it's reasonable to expect something like torn cartilage or broken bones. Repeated "pulls," however, are a different animal.
  6. Going to second CRF. The schedule has zero to do with anything. As for the other 4, the front office left this team unquestionably weaker than last year to start the season. I place the most blame on them. The starting pitching "plan" always looked thin and filled more with unreasonable hope than calculated upside. Certainly ownership cutting the legs out from under the payroll is a big factor. Injuries have hurt, but every team has injuries, and I read all winter how Falvine had built depth everywhere. Maybe not so much. Players have to play, that's true. There's been some unforeseeably horrid offense. But there's also the residue of "all or nothing" design and their choices of coaches. And the front office targeted and chose these players. What did they expect from Margot? Santana? But at the end of the day, I think it comes back to the front office.
  7. Irrational beliefs in the face of all evidence: 1. The earth is flat 2. Santana was signed to be the 1st baseman against lefties.
  8. You're not seriously going to lecture other posters on repetitive posts, are you, Mr Never-Ever-Miss-An-Opportunity-To-Tell-Us-Why-The-Poor-Pohlads-Can't-Possibly-Spend-ANY-Money? Really??
  9. Concur you deserve to get trashed for that.
  10. Indeed. 8 thru 4. Facing 31 yr old Korean League vet Mike Fedde. Ridiculous.
  11. Dunno. Hard to compare a 1st baseman with a pitcher, much less an ump.
  12. I looked up "laboring" in my 1893 first edition Funk and Wagnals and this is what I found:
  13. Kepler to the Twins: "I think I can probably be back in time for the White Sox series."
  14. Two out RBI, AGAIN??? I'm shocked, flabbergasted, and amazed...I'm Shobberazed!
