    We need to sign this Jennings kid! He would fit in nicely!

    Eloise? Dear sweet Eloise? How dare you besmirch her, sir!

    He does for a select few. I was at my 8 yr old grandsons game tonight, he got a single, and when he rounded first no one was covering second, so he legged it into second base. After the game I pulled him aside, and told him don't ever do that again, I am not driving to Rochester to watch u play!

    It's a position you should be accustomed to by now! :)

    Dozier has had three major slumps in the last two and a half years. And he will return to one as soon as they go back to pitching him outside. This spring he crowded the plate and you could get him out jamming him. Now he's off the plate and still gets an absurd number of inside pitches. Some are missed spots and some are just plain stupid. Our renewed offense is also because we went through the some pretty weak SP opponents. That said, they are hot now. Red hot. Suzuki will definitely return to a pumpkin. Dozier will definitely slump big again. Look at their ages, it's not like they have no history. One last thing about Dozier. His attitude is blatantly selfish, and if anyone wonders why this team has no mojo, no apparent drive, they might look at the team leader. To paraphrase the old saying, 'all for one, and one for me too'! BD has made it clear he only cares about BD, and while Molitor and Brunansky either ignore it, or kiss his butt, the other 24 guys are fully aware of the way him, and Plouffe, are handled. There are a myriad of players in MLB who could hit 20 HR's if given the green light to pull everything with no repercussions when it fails for months. It's not talent that allows Dozier to do this, it's gutless management.

    Park is here till the 6th. Can you imagine the embarrassment of having Park em day, or whatever they call it without the Park? The problem is not with TR, it's with the promotions dept. they just have to get these bobblehead and jersey days set up earlier in the year!

    I will preface my first comment by saying I was a fan of the new Target Field. And one of the loudest selling points from the Twins was, "we need the new revenue to compete". The money arguement should be off the table. Secondly, I did not know the Twins weren't allowed to draft college players, i.e. Chicago and the Twins made choices.

    My absolute best ole and Lena joke involves a mouse, ole, Lena, Sven, and shall we say, an uncompromising position. If I told in on here I would be put on Double Secret Probation. Even worse I'd get another terse 3 word PM from a mod, and I quote. "Knock it off" End quote.

    I go into Ole and Lena mode. "Yah vot du you vant"? One guy tried to sell me 4000# tie down straps for $59. I tout dat vas a good price, but I cout neffer lif dem! Who Dah hell can lift four tousand pouns?

    Somedays it's a fine line! But if you hit the ignore button, how will you know? .

    What is sad is that is exactly what's going to happen, if anything. I thought it was time for Gardy to go, but I also felt Molitor was the same old same old. Where he has disappointed me most is the apparent lack of discipline, I thought he would be more authoritative. There is only one thing that will move the Pohlads, and that's decreased revenue. This is not a baseball team for them, it's an entertainment venture. How the revenue comes in is a moot point to their bookkeepers.

    Who would a thunk that by the end of 2016 the Timberwolves would be a franchise on the ascendency, and the Twins after having 2 or 3 of the top MiLB prospects for a minimum of 3 years running, are sending Robbie Grossman and some guy named Boshers? unto the field. And your cleanup hitter rotates between Dozier and Plouffe! Arrrrrrrrrrrgh
  13. Platoon
    What makes me sad, despondent, and depressed is the almost certainty that IF Ryan falls on his sword (he won't be fired), your new GM will be the much sought after Rob Anthony. And the Twins incestuous orginisational lifestyle will continue unabated! I don't know if they know it or not? But they are becoming irrelevant in the Twin Cities sporting hierarchy. Not just down at the bottom, but irrelevant. A far worse fate. If the Gopher FB team has any success at all, and the Wolfies youth plays like expected, you're going to have to go to pg 6 to find coverage of ST next year. I have been a fan since Pedro Ramos, and I have ever felt such apathy to this team. So why am I writing? Never confuse apathy with peed off!

    There is a long held understanding that the use of math on GT is highly discouraged. I can only hope that the proper use of the Kings English is also highly discouraged on posts such as this. I am too old to go back to remedial English, and even if I did, I doubt my almost fanatical distaste for Mr. Jensen's attempts to get me to pay attention have abated.
  15. Platoon
    Your disclaimer allows this observation. We were/are in dire straights here. (Great name for a band btw) But Grossman is not the antidote. Just admitting an overhaul is needed, and proceeding in that direction is. I know I'd of done it! . One could have argued that Robbie will not block anyone, but that is only if one ignores the last 20 years!
  16. Platoon
    It would be so Twinish to give away Arcia out of the division, but not have room for him on a .333 team. This team is if nothing else a walking contradiction.
  17. Platoon
    we are mad as hell, and ain't gonna take it anymore!
  18. Platoon
    Well he has certainly achieved mediocrity, or worse. Snark aside, I fear he truly is in denial, and we will find moves made at the trading deadline far short of either expectations, or common sense. The pervasive "we are just a couple pieces short" will continue to permeate,and cripple the orginisation.
  19. Platoon
    Buxton should just stay where he is. Why torment MiLB pitchers any further. Robbie G. does not belong in the long term plans. Rosario should return, and the OF should be him, Buxton and Kepler. You put Sano at third until he proves he can or can't play there. I would bring Polanco in at SS, not because I think he can play there, but to see if he can force Dozier out at second. There is no need to comment any further on the 1B situation. Give Suzuki the AXE, and bring up Ryan and see what you have or don't have. If you don't, then bring up Turner, who we have been told for two years is MLB ready defensively. It won't change the offensive side of the position at all. Start slowly moving in the arms in MiLB to the pen. As for the SP, short of Berrios, I got no idea.it truly is a cluster intercourse!
  20. Platoon
    Leaving him in the pen is silly. He has made it clear, crystal, that the lack of days off make it physically difficult for him. He's been down twice already for that reason. While I realize ho difficult it is to break into this stellar rotation, they need to figure out something,
  21. Platoon
    Most likely possibility? Although it would be a stretch in timing, July 6th, Park heads to Rochester. And Sano comes back. If that's not it, then something un TwinsWorld like will have to happen. Plouffe traded? Santana DFA'ed? Leaving us with a roster which includes about 7 DH style hitters. Whoops, 6, Oswaldo has left the building. Seriously, when the smoke clears Aug 1st, you might, maybe, possibly see one of the big three SP gone, Maybe? Trading Plouffe now would require a huge diet of crow for Ryan. It will be simpler to send Park to Rochester. Come to think of it, nothing will resolve anything until they decide this is a total rebuild, not a plug a few holes situation,
  22. Platoon
    So we keep Santana for his speed, among among other things? And our astute manager forgets to put him into pinch run until after Dozier is a third of his way to his SO? Your getting warmer.......
