    Agreed that beat writers have it more difficult than opinion columnists, when it comes to criticizing. However, I do have to say the beat writers have treated the Twins with kid gloves forever. Particularly Neal. He is a popular guy, with his ties to KFAN and affable personality. All one has to do, is follow or read the work of Michael Russo, on the Wild, for the star trib. He is the best beat writer in town, and the most respected nationally from this market. It's not close. Russo is almost never wrong, and gives us the fan information before it happens. He is not afraid to to speculate and also criticize. His number 1 goal is to provide insight to the reader/fan. He has been confronted by players, coaches and management, but somehow has maintained their respect. I wish there were more Russo's to cover our baseball squad but there are not.

    I've never quoted myself, until now,k but he has kept it up and what I thought was a reasonable expectation for him to be up mid may, is now off. Man, he played college and is 22 years old. How is he not in FM? It's not the biggest injustice in the world, but I do find it perplexing.
  3. rghrbek
    The question is, how long do you keep him down there? People were so put off by his strikeouts, that they have suggested to wait until after the all star break, or even until next year. I didn't think it was the end of the world to send him down, but I would have been fine with him staying up here, considering the Twins were already out of the running. If he continues this torrid pace, then I would bring him up sooner than later. Give him 2 more weeks and bring him up.

    Even KC's mop up guy in the bullpen has a 1.86 era. Maybe we could get him for buxton and sano?

    Zuke 3 k's, well that's what you get with a no hit all glove...wait, what are we getting with Zuke?
  6. rghrbek
    It was an exciting three innings, now back to your regular scheduled programming of Groundhog's Day.
  7. rghrbek
    Zuke needs to put that ball in play...ugh Molitor a suicide squeeze with SanTan in the bottom of 2?

    21 now...the suspense, anticipation is killing me!
  9. rghrbek
    Did that just happen?

    Interesting that Molly said in pregame on radio, that his plan was to hold Dozier out until Friday. Dozier takes a walk in his only appearance last night and he's playing today and batting 2nd.
  11. rghrbek
    You are comparing his ob% to actual MLB players? I get what you are trying to say, but it is not apples to apples.
  12. rghrbek
    Molitor did speak on this during his post game. He said it was awfully risky, and that "sometimes Trevor thinks he's fast." However, not nearly as frustrated as he was with Rosario. My guess he was already annoyed and like Platoon said, this just put him over the edge.

    Yawn

    This, exactly this! What does it matter if the Twins end up with 62 wins, 64 wins or 68 wins? The playoffs and respectability are lost this season. As the guy formerly known as Mike Wants Wins used to say "Those wins (or lack there of this year) are banked." There is no miracle May happening this summer, look to the future. Berrios continuing to succeed down in AAA, while not taking his lumps and learning from it in the show...it does not make sense.

    I agree with most posters on here. This just feels like the Twins are trying to save face here. Not totally commit to the rebuild, for a few extra wins (which they probably won't get). Pat Dean? Andrew Albers...let's bring him up too and put him on the 40 man, cut Centeno and see if you can sneak him thru waivers. I am not understanding the plan! Either you commit to the rebuild or send all the prospects down (as Seth pointed out in another article), and just play all the washed up vets or the vets that you hope and pray you can get trade value out of (which we know for most of them there is none).
  16. rghrbek
    Well the good news is you can always sell your tickets and get your full value back....

    Thibs was an elite hire. He got fired because of a feud with the GM. I would not give too much credit to Taylor though. He's driven the franchise into the ground since he's had the team. The fact he chose to do the most obvious thing, to everyone in the country, should only be met with surprise not praise. I would however agree with your takes on the basketball/baseball comparisons. They just are not apples to apples.
  18. rghrbek
    He got shelled pretty good last year and was released and taken off the 40 man right? Good to know he throws in the 90's. Still, pretty short sample size this year, I would let him get a few more months under his belt and see if that K/9 rate stays the same (which appears higher than what he has done in the past) or gets better/worse
  19. rghrbek
    Wheeler? Is this the same Wheeler who we took of the 40 man and passed through waivers? The soft tossing lefty? Don't we have guys like this in Dean, Albers, and Rogers? Why are you advocating for Wheeler?
  20. rghrbek
    Jones and Davis have looked real uncomfortable in the box over the two game series against us....
  21. rghrbek
    Twins top 4 in the order: 1 for 11, with a bb. This Wilson guy must throwing some heat! Oh..wait
  22. rghrbek
    Did we hear what the promotions were for those nights? TC Bear Barf Bag night?
  23. rghrbek
    If you mean because Phil is going to go on the DL after this game, then probably, but to have it be Pat Dean? How is he better than Milone?
  24. rghrbek
    Correct, unfortunately the Bremgasms are going to be more melodramatic than ever.
  25. rghrbek
    Hughsie really humping it up...I've seen 90 mph, anyone seen higher?
