    I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to watch a Gibson start comfortably no matter how good he becomes. I don't want to be that way, it's just a sign of how jaded I've become where it comes to good Gibson runs.

    Unless Sano cut his hair, I think we're safe to assume that isn't the case.
  3. wsnydes
    Rest assured, it's working correctly.

    WHO FORGOT TO SACRIFICE THE CHICKEN?!?!?!?!

    I didn't until you pointed it out! Kinda backfired, eh?!

    Good to see Kepler and Rosario finally flipped in the order. Not sure how I feel about Grossman hitting leadoff though. It is nice to see Molitor tinker a bit more lately with the hotter hitters. I don't think Gibson will have any strikeouts. They're playing in an AL ballpark, so Morrison is going to hit for him.

    Swinging bunt, rbi single that doesn't go 15'. Can't make it up.
  8. wsnydes
    Yup. I'd like to see Kepler and Rosario swapped.

    If your pudding dispenser ever becomes reality, I'll take a dozen!

    I don't remember Sid Bream being a Twin.

    Donaldson is still out too.

    Wind blowing hard out to left tonight. Many a lazy fly balls could go out. They're going to have to obliterate a ball hit to right however.

    You hand a lead to the Twins bullpen and it's probably over too. Just in a much different sense.

    Yaaaaaaay! That is all.

    Click the appropriate check box?

    Thank you for articulating my point better than I did...and with accurate information!

    I think most people expected this, but Curtiss was called up for today's game.
  18. wsnydes
    At least we're man enough to admit it!

    This is what I get from going from memory after looking at 2016 and 2017 results...you are correct. I'm the idiot! I also agree with you about August. They were playing some really good baseball and that spilled into September.

    If I'm a player on this team and I'm told that I have to endure another Hughes start, I'd feel like the FO is slapping me in the face. There are a lot of things wrong with this team, but this is one of those things where they actually have a few options.

    The other problem that makes thinking 2017 repeatable was the fact that they were essentially a mid 70s win team for 5 months of last season. They had a great August, which put them into contention. However for most of the season, the fact remained that they were very streaky and lost more than they won. You'd hope that they could spread those extra 10 wins from August out over the course of the season. That would be a sign of a team that improved because it would signify more consistency. The only consistency that we've seen from this club so far has been that they've been consistently poor in pretty much every facet of the game. *Edit: As Chief points out below, I'm pretty much completely wrong on this.

    Could be worse. You could have tickets for tonight. At least it's supposed to be a nice night for baseball. Hopefully a legit baseball game breaks out.

    It's amazing how a team that was talking contention going into and coming out of Spring Training handcuffed the roster like they did. I'm no fan of Molitor, but some of the roster composition choices did nothing but handcuff him. Why would a contending team carry two, arguably three, dead roster spots? The lack of legit 4th outfielder is mind boggling. I could handle Grossman or LaMarre, but not both. It's true, the injuries to Buxton and Santana have left a void. The suspension of Polanco hurts the team more than many realize in my view. I thought that the 2016 squad was one of the lowest baseball IQ teams of recent memory. I don't think this years squad is quite that bad, but I leave myself scratching my head about bonehead plays and brow raising managerial decisions far more frequently than I should from a team that has it's sights set on contending. What has me more concerned at the moment is how the team seemed to lay down after getting down both Friday and Sunday. One of the things I have enjoyed about Molitor teams is their lack of quit. That has not been present in the last week or so. Friday night after they fell behind, they looked like they were going through the motions.

    I'd rather they move him to the MLB rotation and Hughes go to the pen or out the door.

    15000 was a really good day in 2016. Especially late in the season, the announced attendance was almost always twice what the actual attendance was. It was a ghost town and it was a terrible atmosphere to watch a game in. Hard to imagine playing in it was any better. This will be an interesting season if things continue like this. They already have concession stands closed.
