    This is a big game for Berrios and not as much for the Twins. If he pitches like he did last time, well I will be the first to admit that he indeed has turned the corner into becoming a major league pitcher.
  2. akmanak
    Even Colon hit a homerun. Him going 1 for 3 is a positive sign, but he has done this before only to go 0 for 12. I want this guy to do well, again I just dont see it. I hope I am wrong.
  3. akmanak
    Wow, Buxton hit a dinger.
  4. akmanak
    Do you do every game?
  5. akmanak
    Looking like they will play tonight, but tomorrow is a different story.

    What am I missing with this guy? He cant hit, he can't layoff off the outside pitch,and he has no patience at the plate. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong, but how long do you actually wait on this guy before you realize that he cant get it together. He has shown glimpses of being able to bat, but it is only 17% of the time.

    If you look at walks,strikeouts, ect. You find that we were average to below average in a lot of the catagories involving batting. Again you can also find stats that are encouraging when it comes to team batting, but IMO this team seems to fail at producing young talent who can bat. Again there are exceptions.

    We have ranked 20th or lower the last 2 years in baseball when it comes to batting average. I dont see a huge improvement when it comes to the younger players.
  9. akmanak
    You can bend the stats all you want, in the last 10 games the guy is batting .210 which shows little improvement. Since the Twins have failed so miserably with previous players when it comes to their batting, I just do not believe he will ever hit above .240 for this team.

    I am sorry, I dont see it. Buxton's bat hasnt really turned around much. His fielding is great and I get that, but he is an out 83% of them time. How long do we give him a chance to show he simply cant hit major league pitching or come to the realization that the Twins orginization simply cant teach the younger players how to bat. We have failed with a number of young players and I am not sure what the answer is, but I would rather have a CF hit .280 then have a player make a great catch every other game. This is just a ramble.

    Next couple of weeks will determine how much this team has progressed. The Rockies and the Angels should be a good test. Great win tonight.
  12. akmanak
    Great performance by Berrios.
  13. akmanak
    Good AB by Grossman, calling a double by Mauer to score him.
  14. akmanak
    Nice bounce back from Berrios, like to see him make a quality start and if he only gives up a run, I am good with that.
  15. akmanak
    How long do we actually wait on Buxton to start producing? The guy is not figuring it out.
  16. akmanak
    Any idea about pitch count for Berrios?
  17. akmanak
    Decent first inning by Berrios. Let us score the kid some runs now.
  18. akmanak
    Wasnt sure where I should post this, but just wanted to tell the board that the amount of knowledge you guys give me so I can be a more knowledgeable fan is awesome and the snarkieness is enjoyable and disturbing at the same time. Thank you.
  19. akmanak
    How in the hell do you bat Mauer in the clean up spot? What line of thinking does Paul have?
  20. akmanak
    I am holding my breath on Berrios' start. The Twins need him to pitch well, IMO this year is his last chance to prove that he can actually handle major league pressure.
  21. akmanak
    I agree, but we have glaring holes. Our farm system is weakened and I just think his trade value is still high enough were we can get something decent in return. I dont like the idea of rolling the dice in the hopes he can start increasing his production at the plate.
  22. akmanak
    If the Twins play anyone other than people in their division we are screwed. Prime example was the RedSox. People can continue to live in a fantasy world thinking this is the little engine that could, but in reality if we do not make some serious trades for quality pitchers we will continue to be a losing team. Trade Dozier now for something to better this bullpen.
  23. akmanak
    This is the lineup I had in mind. Will be interesting to see if they just smash the hell out of the ball tonight. I disagree with the batting Mauer 2nd, I just do not understand why he continues to bat that high in the order. I also do not agree with having Dozier continuing to lead off.
  24. akmanak
    IMO alot is riding on Berrios. If he can pitch well the Twins would fill a huge hole. This would propel the Twins to being a pretender and vault them to being a contender.
  25. akmanak
    I am hoping they will sit Mauer and insert Vargas.
