  1. Well there's your run, Stewey-zee. Bring it home.
  2. Concur on all points. None of that, however, is Morrison's fault. All he did was show up to play every day.
  3. I suspect the answer to this question will depend on how many RH pitchers he faces.
  4. Personally, I admire a player who wants to play, despite not being 100 percent physically. Particularly when that player never makes any excuses later based on not being 100 percent physically. If you want to blame Molitor, I guess that's fair, although with 12 and 13 man pitching staffs, options are somewhat limited, particularly when your regular first baseman apparently needs 2 days off per week.
  5. Well that news came out of the blue.
  6. I’m not going to be happy about it, no matter how many times you tell me to be happy about it. A baseball season, to me, isn’t something to be tossed into the trash can so lightly. We only get to enjoy one per year. And for the record, You are vastly overstating the impossibility that a baseball team can come back from a half dozen games down in July. It’s been done before, it’ll be done again.
  7. Yeah, I see Kepler make contact up and in, but it’s all bat handle, or late. Or both.
  8. Well they clearly aren’t ready today, after dropping 20 percent from the top of their roster. “That wasn’t going to happen this year” is more opinion than fact, however. I’m willing to bet I can find the same posts from the same posters last year, confidently proclaiming the Twins had no shot.
  9. He wasn’t the only one with disappointing numbers, so why single him out? At least he showed up for work every day. Perhaps if the front office had shown some faith, and helped this team, rather than torpedoing it when they were five games under, he still could be making a difference for the Twins.
  10. The front office essentially did exactly that last year. Added, then sold, in the space of a week. And they turned out to be wrong, BTW.
  11. I agree, Ervin. They took away a lot of your good pieces. It's a shame. It might have been necessary, or even smart, but it's still not what I want to see my front office do...Give up. Shameful.
  12. When I watch Kepler, the problem I see is he gets eaten up by FB's up and in, regularly. That's death in the big leagues.
  13. I remember hearing how impressed the front office was with his command during his final rehab starts.
  14. Speaking of advice I gave to my kids when they were in high school...I remember my son asking me for a pickup line he could use to secure a date with this girl he had his eye on. "Son," I said, "Walk right up to her and ask her 'If I asked you for a date, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?'"
  15. If you're feeling a little down, always remember you're unique. One-of-a-kind. Like everyone else.
  16. At least this weak ground ball from Mauer was not to the SS so no DP.
  17. Well maybe he's only concerned with teams he's sure he's managing.
  18. "Hanging breaking balls are a gift from God." -K Puckett
  19. I remember back when my daughter was in college, she was dating a tennis player. I'm glad that didn't go anywhere. Love means nothing to those guys.
  20. Nico Goodrum helps the Twins, at long last.
  21. I'm told loyalty is a two way street...shouldn't Mauer volunteer to waive his no trade provision, so the Twins can get something for his expiring contract? That's the rationale I've heard for trading all the other free agents to be.
