    Oh you've got to be kidding. Can we stop defending Pressley now and just call him what he is? A one-out specialist who is below average as soon as the 2nd batter he faces comes to the plate.
  2. bighat
    So help me if Pressley gives up this lead.

    This ump is really brutal tonight. Guess it happens sometimes but sheesh.
  4. bighat
    Garver with a baserunning gaffe. Gee whiz, guy.

    Has Sano always worn that jaw-protector piece? I wonder if that's behind his pitch recognition this year....
  6. bighat
    Let's call it a double, shall we?
  7. bighat
    The ump is giving Richards strikes that aren't strikes, and he's not giving them to Lynn.
  8. bighat
    K! Who'd a thunk it?

    Thank goodness Berrios gave the 'pen a rest yesterday.

    Blyleven in rare form tonight with a "B.J. Upton" reference already. Also mentioned the "Red Sock organization" but I'll give him a pass on that.
  11. bighat
    C'mon, Lynnce.
  12. bighat
    Quick correction because you don't want to sing it wrong at the next game: "Take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd." Some well hit balls there in the first.

    There have been a lot of rants on TD about how the Twins screwed up Buxton by calling him up too early - even though he dominated in the minors. Perhaps the Twins brass is sheepish about calling up Gordon because of how poorly Buxton has turned out?
  14. bighat
    I absolutely love Buxton's defense and he's such a great guy, but at this point if he finishes his career with Gomez-like numbers I would be a very happy and somewhat surprised Twins fan. I wish I felt differently but at this point he needs a major overhaul mentally and mechanically when in the batter's box to have a chance to match the output of a guy like Gomez.

    Santana has perhaps the best personality in baseball, in my humble opinion. Miss that guy.

    Happy anniversary indeed. Thanks for these wrap-ups. Win or lose, I always read them. Thanks again!

    He's a decent 3rd outfielder and a nice complimentary piece. I don't think any MLB writers or prognosticators every predicted he'd be a "breakout star". He's a victim of being an average young player on team desperate for the next big star. We shouldn't expect more than a .256, 19 HR, and 72 RBI from him, that's the player he is.
  18. bighat
    Yeah. The problem with that (and I think you'll agree) is that the Twins still don't know what they have with Bux. So we can either sign a guy who might have talent to a long-term deal, or just give up on him and let someone else give it a go. They simply have to keep running him out there to figure out what they've got, but when Buxton's circling the drain at the plate, he seems to only get worse every plate appearance. The Twins are painted into a corner with Bux. The only scenario where the Twins win is if Buxton improves, and that's gotta be soon, as in July 2018 soon. Oh yeah, and the Twins are still trying to win every ball game which further complicates things.
  19. bighat
    Big fly, Eddie. Wayddago. That should do it.
  20. bighat
    Right, but by the time he figures it out, he's going to be a free agent and/or no longer a member of this team. If Buxton figures things out when he's 28 years old, that's great news for the Red Sox or Padres or whoever takes a chance on him, but it does nothing for the Twins or their fans.
  21. bighat
    The "FIRE GARDY" chant was so loud that it drowned out the most important question: who are we going to replace him with? Nobody seemed to care. Now we've got a box of Malt-o-Meal in the dugout who doesn't even know how to properly handle an NL double switch and can't motivate his players.
  22. bighat
    Worse yet, the "black hole" are the only guys hitting. Without Garver, LaMarre and Adrianza the Twins would have been shut out last night. This offense has been an embarrassment.
  23. bighat
    Yes! The Twins had a golden opportunity to change course when they let go of Gardy...hiring Molitor was such terrible use of that chance.
  24. bighat
    I hear you. But many of us think the Twins have succeeded despite Molitor, not because of him.
  25. bighat
    Without Adrianza, Garver and Lamarre the Twins would have been no-hit and/or shutout last night. It's sad that they have to play these guys...even worse, those are the only guys hitting.
