    They are used to such bad defense on the corners they think fairly routine plays are difficult. Standards are low. But corner OF defense isn't important, so whatever.
  2. jimmer
    They called that a 'tough play'. My goodness.
  3. jimmer
    what was that?
  4. jimmer
    Who would have guessed. Talking about the leg kick.
  5. jimmer
    I wish that was true. They're always around. They don't always have fancy names. One just got convicted. The Grim Sleeper is his nickname.

    'A productive out'

    besides mauer

    I love this part of your post. It's what I always think about when I see the rampant Plouffe slamming. Here's a guy who was done no favors by the Twins as he was coming through the system. Took forever for them to realize this guy couldn't play ML quality shortstop. Then he gets moved to a new spot and works his tail off to become a good 3B and succeeds. Yeah, probably time to move on, but the disdain towards him seems misplaced.

    Believe it or not there are plenty who do. I lost faith in his ability to be the GM we need back in 2007, but plenty on this board seem to completely trust his judgment.

    How is everyone feeling about Nick Gordon?

    The Twins before TF targeted pitchers that were contact pitchers. They were less expensive than K pitchers, they also require good defensive players behind them. Strong glove guys are often less offensive threats than offense first players. They are also cheaper. It was a strategy built mostly on necessity (and pure cheapness) and TK did what he could with it. Gardy as well. Now, obviously, there were some players that were exceptions, but mostly our teams were like that for a long time.

    Buxton is pretty much toast against any quality curveball.
  13. jimmer
    those are actually better than the D Backs new uniforms. Those things are horrendous.
  14. jimmer
    Curve balls that end up at the laces is always a good way to get him out.
  15. jimmer
    double time!
  16. jimmer
    Kepler, oh, keep hitting young man. Make them keep you in the majors!!!!
  17. jimmer
    nice game Park!
  18. jimmer
    teams outright laughing at the idea Dozier bats third.
  19. jimmer
    you know, because he's a pull hitter...something new to hear from Jack :-)
  20. jimmer
    sets up double play and gets you to face a much inferior batter.
  21. jimmer
    most major leaguers do. Read an article on that awhile ago about how incredibly hard to is to actually do at that level. I'll try to find it. It was written in response to why batters don't just bunt when they get incredible shifts placed against them.
  22. jimmer
    why not?
  23. jimmer
    funny story, we're like 8th in the AL for Ks per game. Of course, we're the only AL team with an ERA starting with 5 as well.
  24. jimmer
    exactly. all the blame on the pitcher, no credit to Dozier at all. I really dislike Jack.
  25. jimmer
    yes he is. And that's why so many current player dislike him and what makes him a bad announcer and overall jackhole. I'm all for being critical when warranted (and it is with Dozzier and most of the team, actually), but as an announcer, you can make your point and move on. Dog with a bone isn't what anyone wants in an announcer.
