If Mauer were batting leadoff today, he'd have been batting with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the top of the 8th instead of Dozier.
-
I'm officially OFF the Hicks and Dozier bandwagon.
-
Not to nitpik, but Parmelee didn't have to run home in foul territory. If he runs on the line that throw probably hits him in the back.
-
Wow, Worley. Nice work.
-
If Florimon stays out of the way Worley catches that. You could see how he short armed it when he felt Florimon coming.
-
CB Buckner calls the strike zone like it was meant to be called, unlike most umpires that have a strike zone the size of a mailbox.
-
Can't hardly blame him for not diving. He wouldn't have caught it anyway and probably would have screwed up his back.
-
Another example of Plouffe not passing the eye test. The strikeouts are easier for me to take than that garbage. That was a brutal atbat. Twins are up 2-1 if Plouffe gets him over. Baseball 101. That will probably be the difference in the game.
-
I will give Plouffe a little more credit than I've been giving him and agree with this take.
-
Until we have a little bigger sample size to go by, I'm going with the eye test. He doesn't pass the eye test. I see him continually chasing bad pitches. I see far too many botched plays in the field.
-
Plouffe is nothing more than a stopgap, and a bad one at that. Id rather have carroll out there.
-
Overall, im positive on this team and the direction we're headed, but im just not a plouffe fan.
-
So he hit alot of solo hr's in a cute little 2 month stretch last year. Im happy for him.
-
He just botched a slow roller on tuesday. Not to mention airmailing another throw to 1st and booting the last play of the game.
-
He is unquestionably an awful major league baseball player.
-
He's awful.
-
Im so happy Baker is gone. Pelphrey comes back early from his surgery, and wimpy widdle Scotty Baker's recovery will end up being well over a year.
-
They need to do whatever possible to keep him at 3B. One more season of Plouffe is about all I can handle.
-
When Molitor takes over next season, he'll bat Mauer leadoff.
-
Really excited about this kid. Long term is he projected to start?
-
Mastroianni to the DL, Arcia is coming back
Aaron Cross replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Continue batting the kid 8th. Give him three atbats a game and pinch hit his 4th atbat. The kid is gonna be good. Just take it slow. -
I'd love if they could get Pelphrey pitching well and deal him in July. Diamond Worley Correia Gibson Deduno Not half bad.
-
1 Diamond 2 Worley 3 Correia 4 Pelphrey 5 Hernandez Is Hernandez injury healed? He's scheduled to pitch Monday.
-
Ain't that the truth. Plus, even if those reports are true, can you blame him for withholding info from the worst medical staff in MLB?
-
The Twins botched that one. Gardenhire couldn't have handled it worse. Blyleven and Bremer can stick it in their ear. If they were going to make Slowey a reliever, it had to be as a long man. A minimum of 3 innings every time he pitched. Roenicke pitched three innings in a long role against Baltimore. One of the few times Gardenhire has ever done that. In games where the starter exits early, isn't a long man supposed to come in, eat innings, and save the bullpen? Instead 9 times out of 10 Gardy empties the bullpen for one inning each. Then acts exasperated when the bullpen is overworked. Using Slowey CORRECTLY in a long man role was the only way moving him to the bullpen made sense.
