I have been following AR since Elizabethton and have eagerly anticipated his ascension, but until he can quit waving at Big League Pitching, I say wave goodbye to him.
The fact that GH did not lose this team is incredible, 10 straight losses, horrible starting pitching, lack of clutch hitting, I too have had my doubts about GH, but this year he has been excellent. Keep Gardy as long as he wants to stay, he deserves it
I hope I can quit saying this soon, but once again Sam Deduno proves not only that he belongs but he can be dominant. He is the best starter on the Twins staff (ok I know thats not saying much) When i hear the self aggrandizing pundits proclaim, that we are desperate, to have to use the likes of Deduno and Walters...I almost puke and this shows their complete lack of knowledge. Walters maybe, but Deduno can be great if the Twins just let him.
Nobody is more interested in Oswaldo than me, but the Pitchers in the Big leagues, have discovered his weakness and are exploiting it.... Send him down, take the pressure off of him.....he will be back up and better for it.. Only thing, do we have anybody to replace him?
Question: Why does the DR pitch Deduno in the Championship game? Answer: Simple, they want to win! (what a concept!) Deduno would be no worse than the Twins 2nd best Pitcher and very possibly could be the best, what do the Twins have to lose? Their repuation for smart? Think of Deduno as a knucleballer and that might help you to deal with his erratic pitching..but remember this, he can beat anybody anytime, can you really say that about Correia and company?
If the Twins send Hicks to Rochester this will send a very poor message to their fans. Mainly, Team politics are more important than winning. The base is excitied about Hicks. After today, its hard to imagine the Twins without him. Keeping him on the big team would send very positive messages about the organization and their will to win, not always salvage the dollar. It would also be a big signal to their young players, prove you are good enough and we wont worry about the money
I really hold back what I would like to say about then payroll arguments here. The fact that people don't accept the amount taken in dictates the amount going out requires one of two things. Extreme financial ignorance or fanatical bias that prevents the acceptance of something some basic. I did not change the argument. It's the same idiocy over and over. Do you really want to be on the side that suggests revenues does not determine spending capacity?
At this point in the pre-season, I’m just so happy to be seeing games again, I don’t care about the Twins record in 2023. I think they’ll win it all, unrealistically speaking 🙂
