    The only way these toothless Tigers should beat you is if you give up too many walks which has been Lynn's downfall. Good first step.
  2. lukeduke1980
    Maybe this is a challenge to Sano - if you don't learn some discipline at the plate you'll turn into Chris Carter

    Niko Goodrum OPS: .778

    How about Buxton to 10 day DL because his foot is still sore - and then let him do the appropriate rehab at Double A. To save front office face I guess. Gordon up.
  5. lukeduke1980
    How did we fix Buxton last year - let's do that

    Lynn's leash is getting shorter at 3 innings. I'm sure he'll keep starting but it'd be nice to have slegers or may there as long man after Lynn's starts get down to 1 2/3.

    Can we be on the winning side of a walk off?
  8. lukeduke1980
    It seems that the majority of our inherited runners score - hopefully not today

    Run with it Garver. If he completely fails then what is he anyway(?) I like Wilson as a mentor.
  10. lukeduke1980
    There's a lot of eventual roster moves to be made with Santana, May, Sano, Polanco and Castro eventually coming back. Their hands will likely be forced with Hughes.

    I'm annoyed as much as the continued slump of Free Agent Brian Dozier. Yes he's very streaky and carries the team at times but 0-5 and 3-42 when the team is tail spinning. Also agree that Robbie has to go. He's a nice pinch hitter for an NL team. A 4th outfielder has to play defense over hitting. And hitting he isn't either anyway.
  12. lukeduke1980
    Can he learn a knuckleball?
  13. lukeduke1980
    bases loaded w/ 1 out and 3 and 4 hitters up -- at least we got 1 run
  14. lukeduke1980
    My attitude soured on the team just a little bit at the beginning of the year when Dozier gave his 'I'm a free agent' speech. I wonder if that soured any of the immeasurable mojo.

    With a 9+ era from the bullpen during this skid there has to be something systematically wrong here.
  16. lukeduke1980
    Not sure how the Jose Bautista-back-to-3B experiment is going in Atlanta but he'd be a nice platoon partner for Morrison or as a replacement for Grossman in RF here.
  17. lukeduke1980
    Jorge Polanco made a huge impact during last years 2nd half surge. His patient at bats and production have been replace by Sano's flailing. Esco is pretty much neutral because he was playing third. So to me it's Polance and Buxton that are missed. And anything resembling competence at pitching.

    This is where my mind was going. I know Alston doesn't throw any pitches but there seems to be some strategic misunderstanding here - I think Alston is a 'Fastball' guy - command and control it and everything else falls into place, or something along that. There seems to be progress with Berrios, Pressly and even Gibby. Everyone else either 'doesn't get it' and just thinks that commanding your fastball means throw fastballs right over the dish.

    It will be interesting to see how the Gardy boys do against the Yankees. Will they fold which to me would be an indication of the influence of the manager given obvious past Gardy history, or will they compete and win a game or two - which to me would be an indication of influence of veteran leaders on the team.

    I predict by the end of the series the conversation will not be about Giancarlo slumping

    Gleybar Torres and Montgomery the left handed starter who was decent last year. Aaron Judge said he'd look good in pinstripes
  23. lukeduke1980
    I noticed John Ryan Murphy hit his 2nd home run the other night.
  24. lukeduke1980
    I had some similar concerns but my conclusion was to question if he should be moved down in the batting order(?) Like 5th. I'm not sure if that really makes any difference or whom would hit third.
  25. lukeduke1980
    I think robbie grossman should get some at bats at dh while Lomo fights through it. I was pleasantly surprised at Hildenberger's recovery after the meatball pitch that brought in the run. I was pleased with the competitiveness of our Twins against a really good team especially with no one really locked in at the plate.
