The results haven't necessarily been there yet, but overall I'm growing more and more encouraged with Hicks. He seems to be relaxing a bit, taking more and more good ABs, and hasn't been overmatched at the plate, IMO. He's a guy that you have to get out within the strike zone for the most part, which to me is a big sign he'll eventually hit.

 

I know a lot of folks want to send him down, but for my money as long as he's playing every day, I'm good with him learning in the big leagues.

 

The guy is what his career indicated he would be. Initial struggles (although took that to apocalyptic levels in April), streaks of both greatness and ineptitudal setbacks, followed by a reasonable level of performance- varying from demonstrable professional competence to potentially much more (the HR and catch tonight) when all is finally said and done in year 2.

Too late... There is a Snepp Marking on the fence outside TD that warns em of no entry.

 

Sorry, that was a jug of wolf urine. I was assured that it would attract all the ladies.

Yeah, but he thinks he's hit 20. Did you see him on the one Hicks caught? He hit it, admired it, and started jogging for a few steps before it occurred to him it might not be an upper-tank shot. I do enjoy that guy, I gotta say.

Wacha called up by the Cardinals... I'm going out on a limb and saying that he will be special.

 

Yep.. Making the call... Yes sir... I'm telekinetic... I can start fires with my predictions.

I have developed a serous man-crush on Segura.

 

How about the other Latin Lover? A week ago I predicted Go-Go would have a big series v. the Twins... but wow, talk about focused, look at those eyes when he's got a bat in his hands, he's like a baseball Singletary up there at the plate.

I want Gomez back.

When he finds himself in times of trouble,

Brother Gardy looks at second.

Speaking words of wisdom:

Bat him second.

 

And in the hour of darkness,

He is looking right at second base,

Speaking words of wisdom,

Bat him second.

 

Bat him second, Bat him second,

Bat him second, Bat him second,

Whisper words of wisdom,

Bat him second.

 

And when the broken-hearted fanbase,

Living in the Twin Cities,

Ask Ron for an answer,

Bat him second.

 

For though they may be parted,

There is still a chance that they will see,

There will be an answer,

Bat him second.

 

Bat him second, Bat him second,

Bat him second, Bat him second,

Always the same answer,

Bat him second.

 

John, you really have a nice voice.

I think there was a story about Rich Little or some other impressionist, who was asked to sing something for a small group. He declined, saying he couldn't really sing. But, someone protested, he'd heard him sing "My Way" just the other night - had a very nice voice. Nah, said Little, I was just doing Sinatra.

Another quest for a Quality Start ends in felony assault and battery on a baseball...

Oh, wait, were we saving the pen because of 'Interleague Play'? My bad.

At least I have Segura and Braun on my fantasy team.

Let it not be said that the Twins don't aim to please, even in a down year.
