About baseball sans the mega huge contracts.
Baseball without the names up in lights marquee players.
About ball teams who only get chased by the media when they are on the road, on the "coasts."
About teams from "fly over" land, where the kids play ball on grass, not asphalt.

I realize that there is little or nothing to talk about there. When, oh, when, will the Twins add a player who can play the entire game - both on the field (defense) and at bat (offense). The Twins whole approach seems to be get a good defense and the offense can just take care of itself. <br />
<br />Oh, and we managed to get a hit so that Weaver is loosing out on his bid for back to back no hitters. And what did we do with this base runner? The next batter up hits into a double play - that is some offense we've got going on here!Sandy, Christian, Felon, Depressedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13629339994538503463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163643403492396236.post-42757832175118041052012-05-06T15:51:00.000-05:002012-05-06T16:42:19.330-05:00Mariners vs Twins?So today we have the Twins with their lineup of sub .250 hitters against the Mariners lineup of sub .250 hitters. You would think that this would be a trial of no hits and no runs, but no the Twins batters continue to not produce, while the Mariners are enjoying the Twins pitching for a little batting practice.<br />
<br />
The other question I am pondering is why, oh why, did the Twins pick up Komatsu? He was batting .200 when we picked him up, and that number has immediately begun to plunge. This is what the Twins needed - another outfielder who can't hit his weight in batting average?<br />

Revere may be adding speed, but he will have to get on base to show off that speed. Getting on base will be problematic for Revere who is hitting just .222 at the AAA level.

Today's game on the 65th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's major league debut has been a pitchers' duel for the Twins and visitor's the Rangers.<br />Through four innings of scoreless ball pitching was the whole story of the game. Surprisingly the Twins have busted through and currently hold a two run lead.<br /><br />One bad thing about the Twins offense is that they again hit into a double play ending what could have been a scoring opportunity. The Twins are leading the league (probably the majors) in the dubious honor of hitting into the most double plays. This has a simply devastating effect on runs scored. The psychological effect in the dug out has to be mind numbing. When the Twins hit into yet another double play, I can be heard to call for electric-shock therapy. I know it will never happen, and I am not serious. Saying that I would dearly love to see if it would work!

A little Thanksgiving food for thought<br /><blockquote>I agree with most of your sentiments. Congratulations to Torii. He got what he wanted, and what his talents deserve (at least in this non-salary cap ridiculous market), his money, his 5 years, and a chance to win now.<br /><br />But let's not shed too many tears for the Twins. I think there is plenty of reason to think that this will make us stronger in the long run. <br /><br />Torri wanted to be "the leader" of the Twins, ala Kevin Garnett. Torii has a similar fire in his belly as KG, but his selfish arrogance resulted in more locker room conflict as Torii's desire to "light a fire" under his teammates' ended up being cosistently (and I believe rightfully) construed as arrogant finger pointing and blaming.<br /><br />Leaders don't blame others.<br /><br />This year, and next, we will most certainly miss his bat and his defense, BUT I think the clubhouse atmosphere will be better without Torii immediately, and the savings (my personal guess is that Torii would have re-signed at 5 for $16)will allow us some flexibility to resign Santana or restock with a couple more position players/bats. <br /><br />Now we just have to see who will step up into the leadership role this coming year. </blockquote>Sandy, Christian, Felon, Depressedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13629339994538503463noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163643403492396236.post-32429508869221531112007-09-21T21:20:00.000-05:002007-09-21T21:23:13.740-05:00Torii Hunter - Goodbye<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s253/nutcupsports/t1_hunter.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s253/nutcupsports/t1_hunter.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Torii Hunter has given an interview to the folks at FSN. In it, it becomes very evident that Torii believes he will not be with the Twins in '08. Now, I haven’t heard the interview, and Torii, whilst being an excellent fielder, has never been one of my faves; in the years leading up to this two year offensive sprint to free agency, Torii always seemed to lack attention at the plate. In the years when his buddy Jacque Jones was here and the two of them competed the hitting could get pretty good. There would always be a tail off however and Hunter always seemed too “oh well tomorrow’s another day” to me, IMO.<br /><br /><br />I know the Twins are going to miss him. I’m sure that there is no way the club is going to give him a 5 or 6 year contract; and I think I agree with Twins management - IF they turn around and sign Santana (who has to figure out how to strike out people and NOT give up home runs:) ) and they find a decent replacement for Torii.Sandy, Christian, Felon, Depressedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13629339994538503463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163643403492396236.post-50996084860703138232007-09-03T15:50:00.000-05:002007-09-03T15:54:19.919-05:00The Twins last hope!?!Out of the mouth of Twins broadcaster, Dick Bremer, "And the Twins last hope, Rondell White comes to bat with two out in the bottom of the ninth." <br /><br />How does Dick make these comments and maintain any decorum?

The most glaring and continuous presence is Mr. Punto. When compared to the stats of Rodriguez or Bucher, he has a slightly better average?!? This strains all thought processes, but is apparently the case. Now Buscher has only 3 Abs against lefties, so you wouldn’t think that would be enough to exclude him, but Gardy knows more than the rest of us, which is why Punto is in the line up and we are all stuck with trying to fathom the reason why!!!!<br /><br />The other conundrum in the line up is Mr. White. RonDL is hitting (I blush to call it that) slightly better against lefties than against righties (which says not a lot). Mr. Kubel is hitting better against righties or lefties than RonDL is hitting against anything but a batting T. <br /><br />Once again Gardy’s line up is so puzzling and just distressing. We are out of the playoff run – so why can’t we see some one other than Punto in the line up? Having him in the line up if you think you still have a chance at the playoffs makes no sense, and if you are out of the playoffs, Punto in the line up, again, makes no sense. This should be a time to get a jump on next year and try out something different. Why not move Cuddyer to third for a few games? We are calling up Lew Ford, and we have Lois Rodriguez on the bench, they can cover right field. When Cuddyer played third regularly in 2005, I for one was driven batty by his performance. I remembered him being simply awful at the plate, but I checked his stats for 2005, he was hitting .263! Wouldn’t that have been nice at third this year, and of course Cuddy has a little pop in his bat.<br /><br />Moving Mr. Mauer would be something to try, but of course his hamstrings are unstrung, and he is again warming the bench and haunting the training room for rehab. The Twins need to make some hard decisions and move Mauer, having him sit on the bench being Mr. Nice Guy is not putting up any hits, or god-forbid, runs for a team that is hurting for both. Both local newspapers sports writers today have proposed moving baby Jesus to third base, and this could be a good place for Joe. It keeps him in the action of the game (the third base “hot spot”) and gives his legs and those infamous hamstrings and knees some rest. <br /><br />Gardy has become all hot and bothered because both local newspapers are advocating moving Mauer from catcher to another position where he would be less likely to be injured and warming the bench. In his comments, Gardy has apparently lost the point those writers were trying to make. Neither are saying that Joe is a bad catcher defensively. They know that Joe makes a good backstop at the plate, when he is in the game. The point that Gardy is steaming past is the “when he is in the game”. Joe is too tall to be an every day catcher. To keep Joe’s valuable bat in the line up, he needs to move to a less physically stressful position that could enable him to play everyday. <br /><br />The main thing is the Twins need to do some things differently. This year’s mix has not worked. Change is long overdue for this team.Sandy, Christian, Felon, Depressedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13629339994538503463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163643403492396236.post-87211080466520997622007-09-02T15:48:00.000-05:002007-09-02T15:50:08.106-05:00Twins Geek: The Untold Story of How Joe Helped Nick Out of his SlumpIn a tale with a moral - here is the natural Punto hitter revealed.<br /><br /><a href="http://twinsgeek.blogspot.com/2007/08/untold-story-of-how-joe-helped-nick-out.html#links">Twins Geek: The Untold Story of How Joe Helped Nick Out of his Slump</a>Sandy, Christian, Felon, Depressedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13629339994538503463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163643403492396236.post-24311618957818437782007-08-31T13:52:00.000-05:002007-08-31T14:36:15.729-05:00Mystery of Nick Punto - and how it affects the TwinsOne aspect of the ongoing Nick Punto mystery is the fog it has cast over the other problems with the Twins. Because the lack of offensive contributions from Nick Punto have been so glaring and so long lasting and his every day appearance in the line up so inexplicable; it is easy to focus on Nick as the source of all the Twins’ offensive woes.<br /><br />We tend to forget that fixing the Nick Punto problem earlier this season, would not necessarily have fixed the Twins. If Nick had been removed from every day status (as any normal human filling the position of manager would surely have done) then the other positional offensive weaknesses would have been easier to target. <br /><br />Left field is one position that has been a revolving door of players. It needs to be filled with an everyday player with reasonable fielding skills, a bat with a little pop, and the ability to get on base – this sounds a lot like Joe Mauer. Moving Joe to left field solves his injury problem and his future longevity issues while filling one of the holes that has been hidden by the ground fog of Punto’s failed offense.<br /><br />Removing Nick Punto at third base requires that position to be filled. The Twins have a player with almost a full season of major league experience at third. Their experienced player has the much-desired pop in his bat and a respectable batting average. Who might this answer to the Nick Punto problem be? Michael Cuddyer.Sandy, Christian, Felon, Depressedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13629339994538503463noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163643403492396236.post-27758135662078019162007-08-28T13:51:00.000-05:002007-08-31T13:52:26.673-05:00The Mystery of Nick PuntoI looked at the batting averages of all third base men in the majors - for the number of AB's (391) Punto's average (.199) is right at the bottom. This goes for the other positions where he is shoe horned in at every opportunity, SS and 2nd base. His at bats are for a full time every day player and we certainly know that Punto is in every game contributing his .974 fielding percentage and his .200 batting average. We know that Punto is in there with every strike out with men in scoring position. We feel his prescence each time he hits into a double play. We know that Punto is in the line up every time he tries and fails to lay down a bunt.<br /><br />As the Twins continue to run minor league training camp for Punto at the Metrodome and on the road with the rest of their purported major league team - one wonders what fun house mirror Twins management is using when they look at the perfomance of players and make their choices for who plays in that night's game. By what possible criterion does it continue to make sense to put Punto into every possible game, at third base, at short stop, at second base while Nick continues to "struggle" at bat.<br /><br />One can't question Punto's heart, one can question the mentality of those who continue on a daily basis to insert his dubious offensive skills into a lineup so desperately hurting for hits.Sandy, Christian, Felon, Depressedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13629339994538503463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163643403492396236.post-31066792098001724262007-08-27T22:19:00.000-05:002007-08-27T22:20:33.947-05:00Cleveland Indians 8, Minnesota Twins 3; August 27Post game notes - <br />………………….<br />Gardenhire post game interview – “how about that Punto?

We figure if we keep giving him at bats and keeping him in the lineup every single game; come December or January his hitting should really be starting to come around.”<br />………………………….<br />The Fox Sportsnet North talking heads, Coomer and Anthony LaPanta, talked about the Cleveland Indians starting pitcher. Paul Byrd has beaten the Minnesota Twins four times this year. Asked for the secret to his success in keeping the Twins from hitting and scoring Byrd said, “See this piece of string? I keep it just for the Twins. I stretch it out on the ground, the Twins hitters’ eyes lock on it and their bats point at the ground. Then they mostly hit ground balls for outs, for double plays and yes, even for triple plays.”<br /><br />The triple play turned by the Indians in the seventh inning was Cleveland's first triple play at home since June 7, 1976 – which was also against the Twins.<br /><br />La Panta asked Byrd how he came up with his Twins hypnotic technique. Byrd referred La Panta to the Wikipedia articles on chicken hypnotism. Byrd just used a natural talent and expanded it to Twins batter control.Sandy, Christian, Felon, Depressedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13629339994538503463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163643403492396236.post-8759506887703544072007-08-17T17:03:00.000-05:002007-08-17T17:10:50.680-05:00Twins recent moves confusing?Have the Twins recent trades and acquisitions left you feeling confused?
