  1. A little bounce in the old caveman's step
  2. Ha ha ha that's rich!
  3. The new Pagán ritual begins again
  4. 23 pitches an inning, yikes. Throw some strikes, man!
  5. Correa putting his money where his mouth is, wait what does that mean anyway?
  6. Number nine hitter, nice double!
  7. Yep that's what Smalley said. Funny thing when I saw Miranda studying film on the bench I thought, this kid is a real student of the game and will bounce back.
  8. One is Dominican the other American, probably explains it. Now a Dominican named Gary?
  9. Surprising to move Enlow to the pen this late. I would doubt is an innings limit thing. My guess is they want to see if he could be useful in that role for the big club down the stretch.
  10. Thielbar is such a good story and not a bad pitcher either.
  11. Yep the Twins would be in first place without Tingler, got it. The Twins have players they were counting on who are injured and unavailable. Many of the veteran players that are available are dinged up and or underperforming. That is why we are where we are. This has nothing to do with some spread sheet. If you want to win your players must take you there. How long have players like Polanco, Correa and Kepler been playing ball? Can you really believe they are not performing the way you want because of coaching this year? I'll use Kepler as an example. Early this season it appeared he was going to the opposite field, finally. Had he turned a corner? It did not last. I cannot explain why someone like him who has played this game his whole life can't make that adjustment. It's this Popkins' fault? Hardly. How many coaches has Max had? Is James Rowson the missing piece? At some point the players either make the play or they don't.
  12. You can care about the team without being miserable and complaining constantly (not directed at you personally). Someone above stated the team will be below 500 by Sept 1. They have been saying that for 2 months. Eventually they may be right, but what a sad journey.
  13. Bent? Bent is to be involved in something you constantly decry.
  14. What the frick is funny about predicting the Twins demise?
  15. Fun times here in Twinsland
  16. The guy in the sweat lodge?
  17. That's is why, as I stated in my post, I could agree that last night was a good opportunity to give Bundy a chance to go further. I'm not sure that it was Baldelli's decision alone to make that decision. I would hope that all those in charge are learning from the results of protecting starters to the extent that they are.
  18. The irony is I have a warning point for personal attacks because I sarcastically called Baldelli a made up version of his name. The irony is I like Baldelli. I like him a lot. The Twins did not lose last night because of Baldelli. They lost because in a tight game their best relief pitchers failed. The game was tight because the offense didn't break out. The only complaint worth anything about my favorite manager was pulling Bundy with a low pitch count. I somewhat agree that last night might have been a good time to extend him. On the other hand the last time Mr Baldelli let Bundy go, Bundy got smacked around right quick. Calling for someone to be fired over and over again is soul crushing.
