    The Twins are consistent in their use of May. They pitch him when behind, when tied, and when ahead. He might have more innings than some starters!
  2. Platoon
    He does, but they don't allow it on the big club!
  3. Platoon
    I was kind of hoping ups would ask what a castrati was, so I wouldn't have to.
  4. Platoon
    Erstwhile moderator warning! NO math on TD GT.
  5. Platoon
    Poor Chief, he always picks the dead ones!
  6. Platoon
    With age comes wisdom!
  7. Platoon
    Spoiler alert for Chief! Pavarotti is dead!

    Whether one agreed with the decision or not, Hicks fate was just another fallout from not trading Plouffe. It's amazing the trickle down effect that non trade caused! By trading Plouffe, if possible for a better catching prospect, we would have had a better defensive OF, and a more balanced lineup. Santana tries, but Hicks is still a better CF.

    What is this pinch hit and platoon you speak of? Hopefully not another of them new fangled ideas like the catcher wearing a mask!
  10. Platoon
    Among many good observation you touched on Sano getting some protection. Some teams would put someone like Arcia behind him against a RH. And obviously Park is a good choice. But jeez Louise, if I am an opposing pitcher and I can chose between Sano, or Plouffe? Toss in the fact that Plouffe has obviously not recovered from his injury, and Sano might not see three pitches to hit in a week.

    I saw somewhere that he pitched twice since April 20 something? Is that true? Has he pitched at all since his "demotion"? Btw, I echo the thought on the teams take on high velocity pitchers. And I might add this. No pitcher has ever had a major league save or win in Chatanooga TN, or Rochester NY. This has to be at least the fifth year the Twins have talked up how they have changed their theories on SO pitchers. and they're stil talking. Maybe that's where the term "Talkin Twins" came from.
  12. Platoon
    He should be extended, Twins pitchers love pitching to him. Just because ha doesn't throw out any runners, his pitch framing is questionable at best, and in this years SSS their ERA averages 2 runs a game over Murphy, is no reason not to re-up him for at least two more years!

    It reminds me of Hannahs horse! So I was watching The Weather Channel this morning. They said last nights predictions for the TC were a "total system failure". Later in the broadcast they announced Jim Cantores hair dresser has been placed on waivers. He has since been claimed by the Trump campaign. To replace him the team has given Cantore a gift certificate to Great Clips.

    So when it rains, they get six innings out of a SP? I wonder if they could get five, using the sprinkler system?
  15. Platoon
    So something good will come out of this rainout?
  16. Platoon
    So does Chief postpone his jokes till July also, or move them back until tomorrow? Or like the #5 spot in the rotation that they are, simply skip them?
  17. Platoon
    I have seldom watched NASCAR, but watching the Twins this year reminds me of watching a race. You tell everyone that you are watching it for the sport, and you probably really believe that. The fact it's likely your car will lose is lost on you because in reality, you are watching it for the wrecks, that's where the true excitement is. Same for the Twins. You know your team is going to lose, but the smoldering wreckage of that loss, is irresistable!
  18. Platoon
    I think that was last week!
  19. Platoon
    If you gave 10 competent managers this roster, you would get 10 different lineups. But not one would have Dozier hitting third!
  20. Platoon
    Someone is kidding me, is this Brian's lineup? We have Mauer leading off, which is ok. But not if the trade off is Dozier in the 3 hole. As for Park? I will leave that to the nattering nabobs of negativism. I wish to refine yesterday's short form analysis of the Twins roster! If Plouffe is hitting fourth, you just cannot have a good team. Now I have to add, if Dozier is your 3 hitter, your lineup has serious flaws!
  21. Platoon
    You promised 9 pence. This was only 5 pence! You shorted us 4 pence. (I did the math, I was afraid that like Chiefs jokes, it was too complex for TD) I was a farm boy, and if your short 4 pence, that's a lot of hogs running loose!
  22. Platoon
    The good news is we probably could do a better job. The bad news is the trading deadline would expire while we argued about what to do!
  23. Platoon
    While some of the Twins young RP with velocity have been slowed by injuries, opportunities to promote have still been bypassed. Most recently Chargois. And while I know and understand all the pros and cons of Meyer, why not Meyer. What the bleep is the difference. We are 13.5 out. Maybe with Meyer we would be 14 out and completely out of the running, but let's take a chance!
  24. Platoon
    And if two way productive catchers are as rare as hens teeth, we could bring up someone like Turner who many say is a ML defense catcher already. We are giving up the AB's anyway! Ps at least half the reason Aaron Hicks was traded was about personality. IMHO He has been a thorn in managements side for three years!
  25. Platoon
    One of the stated but under emphasized components of this collapse is the terrible basics! Base running, cutoff men, throwing to the correct base, et al. Those things can be done correctly while hitting .152 or .352. And the next media talking head who plays the "young players learning how to play the game" card should be publicly flogged at second base during the 7th inning stretch! . These things generally start getting taught at the middle school level. Who knows, maybe someone even mentioned them in the 5 years of MiLB most play.
