No one is being silly for expressing an opinion one way or another. I changed the title to not suggest anyone is being silly. For all other posters ... let's just agree or disagree without putting these silly characteristics on posters who may not see things as you do or as you believe they are.
Yes ... just for everyone to be clear ... John didn't quite post this correctly and this was written by heezy1323, our resident expert on such matters, and not by John Bonnes. In case others didn't already see/read it, heezy posted it to his blog yesterday and it was promoted to an article today. So if you have questions, direct them to heezy and not John.
Yeah, if Mauer needs this time off then Mauer needs to think about that, too. Still, Molitor needs to, at some point, be the one in charge. Maybe his assessment is Joe needs the days, dunno. But the decision is ultimately his and not the players’.
I don’t either. It’s about Molitor. I’ve never been a fan of him as manager and stuff like this just makes it more clear. If it’s Mauer asking for another day, then Molitor needs to say no. If it’s Molitor doing the saying no, can’t have that as manager.
For the make up game today, we decided to recycle the thread from Apr. 8. What a difference a month makes, both in weather and Twins play. Wade LeBlanc vs Jake Odorizzi, lineups tba.
