    Shut him down for a couple weeks, then put him in the bull pen. He's still got great command and knows how to pitch, but he can't go 100 pitches anymore. That spells veteran middle reliever.

    I'm curious, why can't Taylor Rogers do exactly what Pat Dean is doing? Aren't they essentially the same pitcher with two different names?

    Whoa, that called 3rd strike was even worse than the ones Detroit was carping about. Ball was outside and low every damn time.

    This game is officially off the hook. Drop the mic. Nuff said, Stan. There is no spoon, because the spoon has left the building. It was Elvis's spoon.

    The Pat Dean Experience. Go ahead, top that ball. Go ahead, hit a line drive to an outfielder. Go ahead, pop one up.

    Nice pitching by Pat Dean. Batter tossed... Oh heck, they cut to commercial just as the manager was blowing a neck vein. I'll assume he's tossed, too. I was about to be sorry for watching this game. Now, I'm glad to be here. We got hubbub, ruckus, and a little French soup can of hullabaloo!

    The infield dirt is really wet. The ball is squirting like a nervous octopus.

    We got a baseball game. Tales of the Unexpected.

    I got here a little late and I was wondering how Berrios - What the F---?????
  10. jimbo92107
    Leave Buxton in AAA until the all-star break. Plate discipline, bunting, and better lead-off technique on base. He doesn't even do a couple skips on each pitch. He could put so much more pressure on pitchers if he actually learned how to steal bases.

    Okay, I was slightly off when I said Rosario could be the best player on the Twins. I figured he would improve his whiff rate by being stingier at the plate. Nope, nope, nope. Instead, he decided he was Vlad Guerrero, able to hit anything within reach of a garden rake. Bad Eddie, bad! Go back to AAA and learn the boring discipline of a real MLB hitter! I disagree about Polanco. I think he could be a better hitter than Dozier, given time. Not the best time to trade Dozier, but from his perspective it would be liberation from a team that's going nowhere. Good points on Arcia. He could be a really good player on another team, but right now he's blocking Kepler. I'd also trade Plouffe and put Sano back at 3rd base. It's nice to know Sano can be a decent RF given time, but he's much better at 3rd, and it opens an outfield spot for the eventual trio of Rosario, Buxton, Kepler.

    The only redeeming news is that you can get pretty good mustard at the dollar store.
  13. jimbo92107
    I'm pretty sure Tony told Sano not to worry about getting oppo base hits. Instead, hit the ball out of the park wherever they pitch you.

    Actually, TD should have a "Release the Krakon" button. A little CGI, a nice sound, and you're there!

    Byung Ho Park appears to like the way Josh Tomlin throws baseballs.
  16. jimbo92107
    Nolasco has a pretty good curve, but he doesn't vary the speed, rpm, slant or placement the way Duffey does. If you guess right and he doesn't bury it low, a decent hitter can hit it like a 5 iron.

    "Let us pause mid-stream, and make our stand here!" - Lt. Douglas "Sitting Duck" McKenzie, First Tennessee, killed in the battle of Turkey Shoot Creek, 1862. Whether fording a river or choosing a snack from a vending machine, it is best not to stop in the middle. The Twins cannot stop half way across this river. It is time to plunk down some money, push those buttons, and hope the results are nutritious.

    Brian, you have a gift for bringing the goofy and fabulous. Keep it coming, brother!

    Sano is extra large man. Hit ball many far for distance.

    What has impressed me as much as Park's hitting is his overall maturity as a ballplayer. Park is a complete professional in all aspects of the game, including fielding and base running. He has an excellent glove at first base, a good arm, and always understands the game situation. In fact, he reminds me a lot of Adrian Gonzalez of the Dodgers, but even more of a power hitter. As a hitter Park uses all areas of the field, and can punish a pitcher's mistakes with tape-measure homers in all directions. On top of all that, Park is a selfless player willing to forego his own stats to help his team win. With a runner in scoring position in a close game, he is perfectly willing to rap a single rather than looking for a less probable home run pitch. Is Byung Ho Park becoming the unspoken leader of this team? He certainly is leading by example.

    Is Stephen Gonsalves on a plane to Chattanooga yet? How about now? How about now?

    We've all seen this before. Weather system looks like it's going to pass right over the metro area, then it mysteriously does a 484/694 bypass. It's the Force, man... ;-)

    Best reason to call Alex Meyer back up. If it comes to plunking batters, Meyer has plausible deniability. He uncorks a wild pitch often enough to claim it was an accident, and usually it is.

    I haven't seen a bullpen with so little mojo in a long time. With half these guys, you're waiting for the next hitter to bust one over the fence, after the pitcher walks somebody. Fien and Jepsen look like they're battling dead arm syndrome. Tonkin is a guy with just enough velocity to dominate AAA, but not quite enough to just blow it by people in the majors. If he can't hit spots, he will not survive. O'Rourke is simply erratic with his control. Milone doesn't look anything like a relief pitcher, and I don't think he can turn it on quick enough to pitch out of situations when he comes in. Graham looked as bad as the rest of them, but it's his first appearance, so he slides this time. Thank goodness for Abad, May and Pressley. Three guys that can miss bats.

    More knuckle chewing. Come on Jepsen... YES.
