    Nunez pulling a Buxton and beating out a routine grounder there. Span, Nunez....ahhh memories.

    A la Phil Hughes. Where's old Phil these days, anyway?
  3. bighat
    I'd rather see Gibson starting than Santiago at this point. And I'd take Turley over both of them.

    For those of us that constantly wonder why the Twins don't bring more "prospects" up to the bullpen, and instead opt for middle-of-the road veterans: now we know.

    Bux down on strikes. There's a pattern developing here.
  6. bighat
    Giminez down on 3 pitches. Rats.
  7. bighat
    I thought the same! Bad call by the ump, but we'll take it. This Paxton dude looks like he might only need 1 run to hold the Twins down today, looks sharp.

    Walk, walk, HR to start the game. Santiago's looking like the odd man out in this rotation all of a sudden. Worse than Gibby.

    Like many of you, Pressly was NOT on my list of 'players to worry about' when the season started. Even when he struggled early. Having one of our 'reliable' guys go down in flames is not a good sign!

    You are right. And I didn't watch the game today (was traveling) and by the time I got home the Astros were in the midst of a record-setting inning. I didn't mean to stick up for Molitor. I just meant to also lay some blame on the bullpen. I wish Molitor had been fired prior to the season, ownership really handcuffed the new brass with their ultimatum regarding the hometown guy keeping his job. Molitor's set this team back in regards to development and I hope he gets fired. Alas, the Twins will have to tank into last place before we see that happen, I'm afraid.

    I haven't been a Molitor fan since his hiring (I was rooting for Douggie Mkvxz to get the job). The guy doesn't have the chops. That said, he didn't give up 13 runs in the 8th tonight, that was all on the pitchers. It would be one thing if the game was 4-2 or something, and the Twins lost 5-4. But this complete implosion isn't really something Molitor could control. This was an utter disaster, coming a day after Kintzler gutted this team with his garbage on the mound. Has the free fall we've all been dreading arrived?

    Darn.

    Sano up with the potential to tie it up with a HR in the 8th. AND they're pulling Archer! Happy to see this development.
  14. bighat
    I'm watching the Rays broadcast and they're loving every minute of that dive. Apparently he's a goofball and his kooky antics are a big hit. To be honest, I kinda liked that dive too!
  15. bighat
    And he's doing it in the 8th inning!
  16. bighat
    Twins wasting leadoff hits in the 7th and 8th with reckless abandon.
  17. bighat
    He was liking that Matt Belisle meatball, apparently.
  18. bighat
    Way to swing the bat and get it done, Kennys.
  19. bighat
    Does Sano need a day off to get right? He's just been striking out at an incredible clip right now.
  20. bighat
    The Twins have lots of problems on the pitching staff. Pressley doesn't even make the Top 3 in the "guys to worry about" department.
  21. bighat
    Came here to post the same. Lights out against a completely punchless Twins offense.
  22. bighat
    Good point. This test will indeed be tricky, with no Santana or Berrios going the Twins are going to have to produce with the bats. The one explosion in Baltimore was against a going-down-in-flames Ubaldo Jimenez. Doing the same thing against the likes of Archer, Odorizzi and Cobb will take more effort. The Twins are going to need to score 4-5 runs in more than one game in this series to win it.

    I agree that drafting a High School pitcher with the #1 overall pick is risky. The recent #1 overall pitchers who have had success are David Price and Stephen Strasburg, and both of them came from college programs. That said, last year 6 high school pitchers were taken in the first 17 picks, which is a record high. So maybe the trend is moving towards taking high upside guys and developing the raw talent. I think Greene fits that mold. If Favley and Levine are in charge, I will trust the process if they take him.
  24. bighat
    Including me, I think. Sure I'd be okay with the other prospects, but c'mon. I want Greene with the #1 pick.

    I think the same people who are angered by Mauer's $23 million salary are the same people who are hate ticket prices at Target Field and claim "I built Target Field with MY TAX DOLLARS". As if somehow they were personally hoodwinked in these matters, and now they are worse off because of it. Always struck me as a weird thing to be angry about. Mauer's salary hasn't ever bothered me - poor play bothers me. He's been better this month and I'm happy about it. He's always been reliable in his career when healthy, and I think batting him between 2-5 in the lineup makes sense at this time. He's certainly going to go down in history as one of the Twins' all time greats, no argument.
