    God that is the WORST luck

    please no Arcia gifs, we are trying to win a game here
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    are u at game?

    so yeah, the Dozier caught stealing was absolutely brutal. Bad jump, it was a pitchout, and the shortstop was putting out his cigarette as he bent down to tag Dozier out. Dozier was yelling into the dugout as he jogged back. Teams have a "do not steal on this pitch!" sign, and Twins coaches need to learn when to use it!

    Maybe the Twins would have a better chance of winning if they didn't get 37 base runners thrown out stealing every inning.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    ! Winner !
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No. Play for 4 hours, whoever is leading at end of 4 hours, wins game
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    In right field about 50% of time? Yes

    Miguel Sano says hello

    Torii Hunter's mentorship of Buxton and Hicks has been a True Hollywood story this season!

    If Arcia was in another organization, he'd be exactly the kind of guy that all his haters were wishing Terry Ryan would bring in to the Twins organization: a major league ready outfielder and great teammate with boundless energy and tremendous power (which he has ready demonstrated at the MLB level) who is entering his prime years.

    Spoken like a true front office employee, Doug I will advocate for Arcia for as long as he's in the organization. He is 100% raw talent and he's going to put it together someday, along the lines of Ortiz and Gomez. I don't want to keep seeing those guys leave the organization and then flourish. I don't care if Arcia "straightens out his act" or not. In fact, I kind of like his energy. The Arcia obsession is just beginning!

    I might agree with this, except for all those outfield assists last night
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good question. Could be 1, 2, 3, some combination, or none of the above. I understand Arcia is erratic in the field and will never be as good as the average or median outfielder. But. But, actually when Arcia played in right field, he was capable of making some nice plays. That seems to be a more natural position for him. His best play was the soft fly or liner towards the foul line, on his glove side, when he could initiate a full-out run towards the ball without worrying about running into anybody, and then make a sliding catch of it. Here is one example. Those are plays Hunter does not make. People are contributing to this myth that Arcia is the worst outfielder in the major leagues, when he's really not even that close. Even Hunter was worse than Arcia in 2014. If the Twins are smart, they will walk over to the shredder and feed Arcia's entire 2015 season into it. Someone in the office should tell him he has a future here. Give him the inside shot to win the RF job next season and platoon him against lefties. Substitute him from the game in the late innings when favorable.

    Automate the strike zone, and everyone gets the same one, whether you are ben revere or Miguel Sano. The home plate umpire is still back there watching the pitch, like the article said. The umpire's clicker lights up and vibrates if the ball passes through the strike zone. The umpire then calls a strike just like he does now. No jobs are lost. Nobody even really notices anything different. I give it < 10 years.

    First of all, that's one fast horse......

    Well, I'm a Mauer fan, not a Mauer basher. I think something creative needs to be done with Mauer, and soon. Can anybody here see him playing first base and batting second or third, for each of the next 3 seasons? Maybe Mauer and Ryan and the Pohlads can figure something out together. I honestly thought Vargas was outplaying Mauer at 1B earlier in the season, or at least not being outplayed by Mauer. Vargas has played 1B his whole life and can get better with time, like Morneau did. I honestly don't think Joe has developed an instinct for it yet, though. By the time he does, if he does, it will be the end of his contract. Going forward, who is the better bet at first base? And then, yeah, there's that other long list of problems. I would start on that by giving most of the catching reps in September to Pinto once he's cleared to play.

    You could also compare Pelfrey's crispness tonight to an hours-old bowl of cereal; each soggy cheerio representing a Pelfrey fastball: http://blog.mirandala.org/wp-content/uploads/blog.mirandala.org/2011/11/soggy.jpg

    I can see it now, we'll have October baseball 2 years from now, it will be game 1 of the ALCS, Trevor May starting game one, and the ESPN broadcasters have to describe to the audience why May's nickname is "The Vulture"!!!

    whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

    Just pretend the score is 1-1
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I am ready to see Hicks lead off and Dozier bat second. Escobar makes a good 9 hitter. That should give RBI chances to Dozier when he comes around again.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Pelfrey exited the game with a one run lead, I believe, and one runner on base. The go ahead run that scored was charged to the reliever, so no, Pelfrey would not have been charged with the loss. I think.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hicks has got to be literally the hottest hitter in the league.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don't know if the coaches aren't getting scouting reports, or if Pelfrey is only comfortable throwing certain pitches, or if Suzuki isn't calling good pitches, or what.
