2013 MN Twins

[mr.hockey4242]

I am stoked for these two to finally get up here. I really hope they are both starting by opening day 2015.

Arcia!!! Back up and already delivering!!!

I hope Gardy does the smart thing and tomorrow plays Arcia in center and sits Clete when Parm is back in. Thomas is just brutal and isn't even good in the field.

Why was he up here instead of Arcia anyways?

I totally agree. I know Arcia was struggling a bit so they might have just sent him down for a wake up call to figure it out. I was surprised to see the return of Clete. I almost forgot about that guy from last year!

Without Hicks, we need speed in center. Thomas blows chunks, but he is the fastest we got. He did make a nice catch on the track. Thomas makes one appreciate Hicks, which says more about Thomas. Hicks should play center and bat 9th. His speed closer to the top of the lineup. I sure hope Cole Stewart pans out. And May. And Gibson. Diamond and Deduno might be keepers... Correia and Walters, not so sure yet.

Hicks really is a gem of a fielder and it looks like Buxton is too. Going to be deadly soon enough. I actually think Hicks moving up in lineup again is something we should try. Mauer isn't getting RBI chances batting 2nd. Hicks at least walks and was hitting much better.

Stewart is a long ways but I hope he is good. May? Some Phillies fans were thinking legit reliever. I hope he can start. Meyer is better but hurt now. Just hurry and give these guys a chance. Gibson should be here soon but boy its taken forever.

Seems the book really is out on Diamond. Deduno is literally a 50/50 chance. Either going to own you, or flat suck. His era will probably always be around what it was last year. Walters is doing good right now but has falied to pick up his D(unearned runs) and gardy is mental with him like corriea......fails to pull him when appropriate.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Well, Clete Thomas had himself a shocking day. Sadly, it will halt the development of more important players as he will continue to play now. Arcia shows why he should be a main stay in this lineup starting now for the next 10 years. Just a beast.

Gardy leaving the starter in too long worked for once!!! Me like!! Bullpen was great.

4 straight home wins and 6/7. Bout time we start having a little home field advantage. 1 more with the Phils before the divisional games.

 

[powerchord86]

Yeah, Clete was looking good at the plate yesterday. I'll take it.

Pelfrey had one of his rare good games. I'm not expecting consistency.

 

[powerchord86]

Drop the last one but still a series win so I'll take that.

Would be great to see the same this weekend against the Tigers but I'm not exactly holding my breath.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

It's mind boggling the way this team is run. How are we supposed to ever improve if our younger guys are always halted by journeymen?

Idc if he had a 4 hit game. Thomas should not be on this roster. He has had his chances, and proven to suck. At least put Arcia in center. Parmelee is never going to be good if he is consistently sitting.

I have heard rumors that Gibson is on his way up. Confirm? That would be a welcome addition. He would be like Deduno, exciting to watch grow up. I do not mind suffering now to win in the near future. I am amazed we are only 7 1/2 out given our hitting. The biggest disappointment... the power bats. Where are Justin Morneau and Josh Willingham? If these two just hit with a little power we would be .500. Very, very disappointing.

From what I understand it will just be a matter of time and Gibson should be up in the rotation. It sounds like he is ready.

I'm assuming very soon. Tampa is bringing up Wil Meyers because of that arbitration stuff. I think Gibson will be coming soon too.

I'm not big on Morneau and his power is disappointing but right now I can't blame him. He is driving in runs. The rest of the team aside from him and Mauer are embarrassing though. Arcia is the man.

 

[powerchord86]

It's good that Morny is at least hitting, but we could really use the power. Baby steps I guess.

He seems to have adopted the Joe Mauer loss of power technique.

 

[powerchord86]

Gotta love a win over the Black Sox!

Apparently Mauer does still have some power.

 

[Nosferatu]

I'm getting tired of Brian Dozier, maybe it's time to give someone like James Beresford a chance, he wouldn't have to do much to make us forget about Dozier.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Yeah dozier is pretty garbage. Willy and morny have to be the worst middle of order ever. One can't hit and the other has no power and is a fool vs lefties. Absolute comedy act right there vs sale. Josh not interested in swing for a free RBI. Justin not interested in not swinging at junk.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

HAHAHAHA!!! Freakin Dozier takes Chris Sale deep. His second career bomb vs Sale. Wow.

 

[powerchord86]

Dozier hits a bomb and Morny hits a bomb. The last two players that were complained about here. Hmmm...

All the Twins players suck and are garbage! See where I'm going with this? It might work! lol

 

[powerchord86]

Another nice win over the dirty black sox.

AND YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOAAARD! YEEEESSS!

 

[powerchord86]

Go for the SWEEP!
