Game No. 5: A 2 Course Dinner of Beef Willingham & Chicken Parmelee

Whew... glad to get that out of the way. This is how the Twin's are going to have to perform to win games. We will need to score 5+ runs for the most part to win a game, but at least Carl gave us some innings. The inside job by Bourjos was a knee to the nuggets, but what the heck, it all worked out. Kudos to Willingham and Parmelee for their big hits. I have been an opponent of the Willingham signing, not because I don't like him or his contract, but more so for philosophical reasons on how I th

Twins Need To Look Themselves In The Mirror

this post was originally posted at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2012/04/11/twins-need-to-look-themselves-in-the-mirror/     The Twins haven't done well to start the season. They're 0-4 after losing three straight to The Baltomore Orioles and the home opener against the Angels, scoring only 6 runs compared with 20 runs allowed.   Now that they've had an off day to assess where they're at, I think it will be interesting to find out how they will respond. Granted, the Twins haven't made a

The Buddy Files Vol. 1---How can this turn around?

Here's my first shot at this. I'm assuming no one will see it, but if you do, Thanks....and sorry. I was going to post something earlier with predictions and such but then remembered I hate predictions and such. So I decided to give it a few games before I chimed in.   I have to go at this from the only perspective I have, from the view of a fan 4 hours away. So far its pretty simple: This is bad. It hurts to watch on TV. I half expect Bert to jump from the booth to his werciful demise. It hurt

A Fan Base Divided

Originally posted at k-bro's baseball blog     http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WuqEJmvcnRs/T4Td2E-4CiI/AAAAAAAAB04/GZ7P4vkCcJQ/s320/keepcalm.PNG   So, the Twins have had a bit of a tough go of the start of the 2012 season, huh? And, apparently, there's nothing like going winless for the first four games to divide the fans.     The optimists insist that four games is too small a sample size to get too worked up about yet, and the pessimists see that all the flaws aren't being fixed. And each side

Question and Answer from an ESPN baseball chat room concerning Gardy and the Twins

The answer is from Dave Schoenfeld who writes the "Sweet Spot" blog on ESPN's MLB page.             I can see a scary situation unfolding in Minneapolis. Say Mauer and/or Morneau gets hurt again early this season, Target Field could be half empty before the All-Star break as the 2012 Twins challenge the 1962 Mets for the ultimate distinction in baseball futility. How long before Gardy gets his long overdue ejection by the front office, even if the Twins stay healthy? The fans have wanted his he

Is it too early for the Twins to panic?

After dropping the home opener 5-1 to the Angels, the Twins find themselves as the only American League team without a win this season. Yes, it has only been 4 games. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire is quick to remind the media and fans of that however, is it too early to panic? This author thinks that the panic button should be pushed and pushed hard right now. In 2011, the Twins began the season 1-3 on their way to a 63-99 record. While a team’s record through 4 games is hardly indicative how the

Random Tuesday Twins Thoughts and Tidbits

This was originally published at The Tenth Inning Stretch ---   Here is this week's installment: The opening day was a bummer but featured somewhat a comeback, for which I was thankful. Still the Twins lost, which is not good. My thoughts as I was watching that game are here. The second game debacle did not put me in a great mood and the third game was the cherry on top. At least there were a couple of bright points: Swarzak's performance on short notice, Jamey Carroll's defense, Frankie L

Don't Tell Me to Be Patient

As the Twins sit at 0-4, many questions abound about this team. How bad is this bullpen? Why is Jamey Carroll batting second? Just how awful will the Joe Mauer contract be looked at? Yet, we have heard a myriad of people saying, "be patient." I have two words for you..."screw you."   After sitting through a summer of failures, disappointments and screw ups, many were hoping that the 2012 Twins season was going to be a turnaround. Though expectations certainly weren't high, hope springs eternally

Chasing Offense

Let me count the ways in which the Twins focused on adding offense this year:   Of the ~$18M the Twins spent this offseason, $14M were spent on adding hitters. The only exceptions were bargain-shopping acquisitions of Jason Marquis and Joe Zumaya. Jamey Carroll was one of the first free agents signed this offseason, and he was given a 2-year deal, despite being limited defensively and being 38 years old? Why? Because he could get on base. He doesn’t have a hit this year. Ryan Doumit ha

What Kind of Fan are You?

It’s the same with every team in every city, be it the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox , the Seattle Mariners, the Houston Astros, or the Minnesota Twins.   Each team has fans that are willing to be patient, think logically and give the benefit of the doubt to players and front office personnel whose jobs are much tougher than it looks on TV. Each team has fans that are ready to jump off of a bridge with every loss, feeling the need to place blame on someone, a player, the manager, a hitti
