Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

We sit there and whine about how pitchers cant go the distance

Do you have a turd in your pocket? Or is this the royal "we?"

Blackburn had been less than stellar all season. I'm not talking Moonshot Scott, but I wouldn't have sent him out for the 9th.

Except he didn't exactly suck tonight, did he? Good decision by Gardy.

That's why you're not managing the team.

Again, low pitchcount (thanks Handy and dx), short bullpen, quality start, long season....

send him out, knowing that if need be, Tatts (and whoever) should be able to close the deal.

He was good enough to earn the right to finish the game. He wasnt dominant but 3 runs over 9 is good enough for me

Plus, at the time it was 2 over 8.

And he had just sent down Damon, Ordonez and Cabrera 1-2-3, on like 7 pitches in the 8th.

My fantasy team is upset Rauch wasn't in there for the save!

My fantasy team is very happy that the Twins didn't touch up Zumaya for any runs and still managed to get the W.

Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

We'll argue about anything around here. For the record I liked Blackburn staying in the game. It's early in the year, you already have shortened your bullpen, low pitch count.......blah........blah..........blah.

Twins won.

Does he do it in a playoff game? No.

So the 3rd run got charged to Willis instead? By that time I was detached from baseball in general and I was watching the Red Wings attempt to swallow a chicken bone.

Yeah, the one run that scored that inning was Willis's.

No kidding, we've won twice as many as we've lost, but still there are stupid arguments about leaving a pitcher out, TO GET THE WIN, and who's ****tier, Span or Young.

Young is still the worst player we have in the starting nine. Despite his recent run of good hitting.

At least Punto (who can't hit either) brings his glove to the park every day.

Well, that isn't really fair. We have a very good starting 9.

I have hated Delmon FAR more than most. Up until this year he was typically worse than the 15th best AL left fielder. The trade continues to be a complete disaster.

All that said, he is playing much better than Span, Kubel, and whoever we put at third. If Delmon actually improves as the season goes on, I may be forced to be happy we have him.

Delmon's defense is mostly irrelevant. Consider it entertainment. He will catch the easy ones, and the others will be doubles.

Well there isnt much else to argue about...when this is what we are discussing that is a good sign

Plus the whole point was if you are going to rip one player rip every player where said criticism applies. I dont hide that I like to point out double standards or irrational hate that is why I support Nick Punto when no one else will.

I do it at games too first game I went to people were ripping Punto early on and so I joked around with them about it, he made a few nice plays and got a couple key hits so I kept standing up and applauding and chanting MVP and everyone laughed
