Tigers has been playing well lately. AL Central is going to be 3 team race now.

Curious how Molitor doesn't use Hughes for more than 1 inning at a time. This would have been the opportunity to let him get 2-3 innings, but he opts to keep him strictly for 1 inning. If I'm Hughes, that's pretty demoralizing. 

 

Was he highly touted (asking seriously), this was a bit before my time when he was coming up

Very much so. 

 

Better minor league numbers than Mauer, by far, with obvious power potential.

They have no long man now. Mind. Boggling.

Phil Hughes in rare form!

Any reference to the playoffs and the twins should be worthy of warning points

 

Jk

Yeah. That and the ringing line drives. That's prolly a bit demoralizing too.

Phil’s era is still a full run lower than lance Lynn’s

 

For the moment anyway

Dick, after sac fly to center: "And it won't be a clean inning for Hughes."

 

 

This homestand has been demoralizing to ME, I'll tell you that.

Honestly time for Cory Provus to get the tv gig

That paycheck every couple weeks should keep his spirits up.

Going back to last Friday, the twins have won maybe 1 game they should have won, 2 they shouldn’t have and lost 1 they should have won. The rest of the losses were fully deserved

Just tuned in to see if that kid that strikes out 60% of the batters he faces was gonna throw for the brewers.

 

Mauer out with neck tightness

 

23 

 

million 

 

 

for that

I think I'd like Provus to stay right where he is. He is REALLY good, and I like baseball on the radio.

This was almost written in haiku form and I loved every second of it

True, I do enjoy baseball on the radio and he is awesome at it, but I take in most twins games in tv form

The truth is, I have the Extra Innings pkg and usually watch at least one game per series on the other team's broadcast.

 

Dick is above average, IMO.

 

Bert has grown pretty stale, though.

 

EDIT:  To FSN Execs...I'm available, and my agent will take your phone call. I'm on Facebook, hit me up and I'll get you a number.

 

when’s the next puerto rico series?

This team is just sad.

 

So much hype, so little production.

Dick B is fine, I don’t have the animosity towards him that some seem to. He does get annoying at times, namely when things are going poorly and he turns whiny. Not sure about Bert. He’s not there most of the time anymore and I’m not a huge fan of the rotating cast of cohosts they’ve been having. Cory is great and honestly dan G isn’t that bad. I’d like to have Cory on the tv broadcast but not sure how it would translate.

Dismal performance on many levels.

 

Go get 'em tomorrow.

when’s the next puerto rico series?

POTN, for me.

You'll have to be more specific.

Everyone not named Escobar or Kepler....3 for f*ing 28 with 9 Ks

Was Mauer the last highly touted twins prospect to actually hit expectations?

Most recent...yes...sadly. Although I would say Hicks will end up close to ‘average result for #14 pick’....before Joe it would have been Hunter at 20 overall.

 

Buck just needs to be within shouting distance of a league average hitter...seems doable...but right from the start, hasn’t been one once better than he was three years ago.

I don't disagree, but would note that Buxton has shown flashes of a very high ceiling, and some established major leaguers (like Lynn) have also played poorly for long stretches. I would think that lots of teams would be willing to trade a lot for Buxton.

A lot? Right now? No.

Was he highly touted (asking seriously), this was a bit before my time when he was coming up

Not really...was a 3rd round pick.

How did we fix Buxton last year - let's do that
