    'Show Dick some respect!'-John Bender
  2. jimmer
    strike 4, you're out!
  3. jimmer
    why isn't Byron playing?
  4. jimmer
    Way to go Dozier.

    Then again, Richard called Trout 'Plouffe' when Trout was running down a ball in the OF, so cant expect much.

    'Twins are one of only 4 teams to not have a pitcher hit a home run in inter-league play'--Dick Bremer. He says this as they show a graphic that lists the Twins AND four other teams. So that's 5 teams, Richard.

    Arcia almost turned a can of corn into a double.

    http://www.fangraphs.com/community/when-slugging-percentage-beats-on-base-percentage/ I thought I'd share this and let everyone's head explode. :-)

    Kind of messed up that my thread breaking this news, which was posted a half an hour before this one was made, gets locked.

    I still think the ever expanding called strike zone for someone who has such a keen eye was part of the K issue Joe had, such as it was.
  11. jimmer
    I'm a firm believer in the idea that your best hitter should bat 2nd. Mauer batting there gives our best OBP guy more PAs meaning more opportunity for the power guys.
  12. jimmer
    yeah, but it's basically the same team as the team we ended with.
  13. jimmer
    how about the fact we've actually lost 12 straight regular season games?
  14. jimmer
    For me, there's way more areas of concern to conclude the front office has failed :-)
  15. jimmer
    It's a good thing I didn't imply that :-)

    No, I meant, did Torii's leadership only manifest itself in May of last year? Obviously he isn't on the team now, but that's not what I meant when I asked the question. As far as Dozier not being a leader because of his BA, Hunter was batting .154 after 8 games last year. Was he not a leader then? Was Hunter a leader in August of last year when he batted .130 for the month or when he batted .180 for the month of July. His April was ever so slightly above .200, maybe that's good enough, from a position that is offense focused like RF, to be a leader? What does one's BA need to be to be a leader?
  17. jimmer
    I don't imagine it would be much if any difference. Even with Torii's leadership, we started off horribly last year too. We had one great month which was attributed to Hunter and this bad start makes it easy to continue the narrative that it was all about Hunter. What about the rest of the year? Did his leadership vanish? How much did his horrible second half contribute to missing the playoffs?

    And there are a million examples of young players who got demoted after their less than stellar first taste of baseball and never came back and/or never became any kind of player to remember. There's only one Trout (who's start gets compared to Buxton), there's only one Randy Johnson (compared to Meyer) and so on.
  19. jimmer
    yeah, forget the booing. Only way to send a message is stop going to the games. That hurts the pocketbook.
  20. jimmer
    I don't know what's wrong with May so far.
  21. jimmer
    yeah it was a ridiculous decision, IMO
  22. jimmer
    same thing in this case.
  23. jimmer
    Why do I find it so unprofessional to see people on the TVv giving news with both of their hands firmly planted in their pockets. Looks so sloppy.
  24. jimmer
    no reason to be disappointed in THAT 'bunt'. It was a fly ball that went almost as far as when he swings all out.
  25. jimmer
    Bremer trying to rationalize that ridiculous decision to bunt.
