    I would assume most thought this team had/has chances on contending due to the "unknowns" and young guys developing into something and no longer being young unknowns. 7 games in they are still unknowns and young.

    But Runs Scored Per game did drop to 1.6 from 1.9. . . .

    Back to my post from about this time last year. If all of Twins Daily pooled their money to buy the Twins what would it cost each of us?

    The Twins have struck out zero times today! They also didn't lose! Trend or Mirage? I'll hang up and listen.

    I must still be delirious from the meds and the after effects of the radiator fluid because I checked out the box scores. No team can actually strike out 79 times in 7 games. OR the boxscores are wrong. I think I'm going to call the Dr.

    So, anyways I am back from the hospital after my radiator fluid induced coma. What the heck happened while I was out? 0-7? I haven't looked at the box scores but the only logical thing I can think of is the starters must be just awful and they are losing games by scores of like 10-9 and 13-12. I mean with the juggernaut of a lineup they put together it can be the only explanation. I'll hang up and listen while I go and look at the box scores to confirm my suspicions.

    It's all of the concerns people had in the offseason popping up immediately; Bad Bullpen - check Lots of Strikeouts - check Outfield Defense Decline - check And none of the positives have shown up yet; Tons of HRs - Not Yet Young Exciting - Not Yet So only the bad has shown up so far. It's just sad that the big weaknesses were ones most fans could obviously see and were calling on to be corrected, yet the front office did nothing.

    My 4 year old son can explain this very easily using some of his older toys as an example. He doesn't play it anymore and doesn't like them. But if I were to get rid of them he would be incredibly mad. When I ask him why is he mad if I get rid of a toy he doesn't like or play with his reason is two-fold. 1) Because . .. and 2) It's mine and I want to keep it. Simple . . .

    I agree with you and thought of that after I made my fake roster change. It is essentially what they are doing for 3 games so far with Kepler.

    The one thing I keep holding onto is starting pitching is the hardest thing to find in baseball. The Twins have had 6 out of 7 pretty good starts, good enough to keep most teams in the ballgame. So if the starting pitching continues to pitch the way it has and the bats even pick up a little I think they have a chance to play entertaining baseball.

    The people who hire and fire Terry Ryan need to watch a baseball game first. The Pohlads have so many other business ventures that make significant amounts of money that it sometimes feels like the Twins are their little hobby business they let their friend Terry run. Once they begin losing gobs of money is when Ryan will even be given warning. Just my opinion.

    I think Buxton's whiff rate will drop. He seems to be taking better at bats the last few games in my opinion and yesterday actually made decent contact a few times. (Jeez - I am excited about our players making contact . . . . This is going to be a long year isn't it?)
  13. Loosey
    But you don't have to keep him either. He is what he is. They have better options in the minors. Give Fiend the chance to grab on with another team.
  14. Loosey
    New Lineup Beginning in May: Kepler - LF Escobar - SS Mauer - 1B Sano - DH Plouffe - 3B Dozier - 2B Arcia - RF Buxton - CF Murphy - C Bench: Polanco Rosario Suzuki As good as Nunez has been at the plate, I think he is going to be dead weight going forward. He is what he is.
  15. Loosey
    1) Park needs to see AAA pitching for a month or so. At least get his confidence back. He showed he could handle AAA and AAAA pitchers in spring trainging. So that is the first thing I would do. 2) DFA Fien. He really isn't good. Shouldn't have been offered Arbitration to begin with. 3) Sano goes to DH 3 of 4 games. Then plays 3rd base once a week. Let him concentrate solely on hitting to get his biggest asset back. 4a) Arcia needs to play. He can't be much worse that what we have seen so far from our outfielders. Rosario has been bad. Swings at everything and now the last two games has made some questionable decisions in the outfield. 4b) Kepler needs to play. What is the point of having one of you prospects up if you just leave him on the bench to rot away. He had the most professional at bat a Twins player has had all year on Sunday to get a walk and then he sits on the bench on Monday. 5)Tell Terry Ryan this is his last season. He can announce he is retiring if he wants to save face. But either way he will not be making decisions in 2017. 6) The more I think about it this terrible start may be a blessing in disguise. It is almost the opposite of last May which was the worst thing that could have happened to this teams rebuild. If the awfulness continues maybe the front office will start shipping out unneeded old parts and just go with a youth movement across the board and in the bullpen. Nothing to lose at that point.

    2nd and 3rd nobody out. How many runs will they score. 0, 1-2, 3 or more?
  17. Loosey
    Just as useful as a strikeout. . .
  18. Loosey
    Don't worry. Park will get us back on track
  19. Loosey
    Is it bad that I am not excited about well struck balls. That Buxton line out had me giddy,
  20. Loosey
    Hopefully three bases type of triple. Not three strikes kind.
  21. Loosey
    I'm calling it Buxton Triple.
  22. Loosey
    Man, that K w/ RISP is creeping up on 50%.
  23. Loosey
    They would have gotten the out at 1st but still given up the run. Ended up not mattering, but still. . . .

    Did Rosario just walk? It must be too cold for him to swing the bat?
