    Describing the action and simply speaking in real time kind of lends a discussion that can appear to be negative. I feel like we are being set up.

    Why won't our guys play along? And an error just to make sure Joey Votto can get another at bat this inning

    To everyone watching, this is like when you clean out the refrigerator. YOu know that tuna sandwich has been in there for almost a week and yet you need to take one last whiff just before you toss it in the trash.

    I guess I wasn't trying hard enough. Sorry about that

    Is the place to go to for Twins rehab?
  7. ewen21
    I would agree, but a good team doesn't waste a start like that.

    THe underlined. I would love to give that same speech to this group just to see the looks in their eyes. Not sure most of them actually believe you. Not from what I have seen. I am very pissed off with the offensive display thus far.

    Um yeah. We've been outscored 22-4 so the umpiring isn't what I'm concerned about. Not sure exactly what the record is at Yankee Stadium from the beginning of the Gardenhire era to now, but it is surely pathetic. Molitor seems to have the players in the same trance Gardy had them whenever it was time to play in that stadium. We can go on and on about "an ace" but unless we actually can hit in that stadium we are not climbing out of this any time soon. Always seems like we can't do a damn thing offensively. We were gifted with four errors and scored three runs. We faced an aging CC Sabathia and a very shaky Dellin Betances. Still we played like weeping grandmothers.

    We aren't going to bunt our way out of this funk in NY. Asking guys like Mauer, Sano, Morrison, almost anyone makes no sense. I bet it would take a whole lot of attempts for any of them to lay down a successful bunt and in the process they'd get behind on the count, or pop up or screw up in some way because they don't know how to do it effectively. Have we learned nothing from the station to station ball Gardy would have us play? THat just doesn't work here. Maybe MAYBE if you are playing a weak National League team, but sure heck not here. THat has been proven over and over

    We can be specific in this case. He bunted in a situation where he had no business doing so. I don't like the mindset out of him there. He isn't Luis Aparacio. He is a BAD bunter. TO anyone saying he's a genius for trying this, please get back to me on how many bunt hits he actually has in his career. Do that then re-assess the strategy
  12. ewen21
    No, he isn't a genius because I give him less of a chance of getting on base via a bunt than he would just standing up there with the bat on his shoulder looking for a walk. I don't like anyone bunting in the first inning especially Mr. 2,000. He is supposed to be the best hitter on the team and he is the guy with the longest tenure. By bunting in that situation he lets the pitcher off the hook. He also guarantees that he won't hit a ball that travels more than 50 feet. Nothing smart about that unless he is a very skilled bunter and he is most certainly not. In general it is unsound for a lumbering first baseman to bunt in that situation. Add to it the fact that Joe has been on the losing end a billion times at Yankee Stadium. His season ended there three different times and we seem lose there 90% of the time. The place is a band box. What about beating the shift by pulling the ball down the left field line? Small ball NEVER has worked against the Yankees. You would think Joe'd understand that.

    Most of our players look glazed over when we are in NY. For the life of me, I have no idea why Joe would bunt in the first inning. I have no idea why anyone would do that unless they are Phil Rizzuto, Luis Aparicio, or Maury Wills....Not sure I can recall the last time he bunted for a hit and besides, he has to come into that band box thinking to drive the baseball. He conceded the at bat right there and that started the game on its course. I really don't want to hear "if he bunts for a hit it's a good bunt" That is a poor mindset for Mauer to have, imo
  14. ewen21
    Oh but he can frame pitches!
  15. ewen21
    Ryan LaMarre "Hoyt" coming in.
  16. ewen21
    There is life. Let's see what Mauer does here
  17. ewen21
    Tough to find anyone deserving of praise
  18. ewen21
    I don't fault the Twins for trading Hicks. He was dreadful for us
  19. ewen21
    I hate to "like" this post, but ........
  20. ewen21
    Bunting on your first at bat at Yankee Stadium. If he wants to beat the shift how about aiming for the right field foul pole?
  21. ewen21
    Once again, we are baffled by Mauer's approach. For years he has come into this stadium losing nearly every single game. His idea is BUNT in the first inning. Does he think he's Luis Aparicio or something? Joe basically conceded an at bat right there. His mindset in Yankee Stadium (on a 60 degree night) should be to swing away. It's a band box. Maybe....just maybe.....he gets one over the wall. Perish the thought
  22. ewen21
    if Sano is Eskimo then why can't hit in April?
  23. ewen21
    Hey I get it. Don't look at the hole in the donut.,....look at the WHOLE donut
  24. ewen21
    I hated the Perkins extension

    Max seems like a player who has the ability to take coaching and effectively make adjustments.
