2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

Re: 2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

And the bullpen strikes again!
These pitchers are so pathetic.
 
Re: 2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

Gotta love bringing in your lights-out reliever...and then he walks the only two guys he faces. STOP NIBBLING AND THROW STRIKES!!!
 
Re: 2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

Awesome, then oops.

Hopefully we can still close this one out.

Eduardo Escobar: Looks like a 23 year old utility player who is missing one utility at the major league level: The ability to hit. Escobar

Pedro Hernandez: A 23 year old lefty who it looks like they converted into a starter last year in the minors. Hernandez

Even given what Liriano has given you guys as of late, I still think you got butt-****ed on this trade.
 
Re: 2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

Whatever, if they weren't going to sign him, they may as well get whatever scraps they can.

So what does it say about the AL Central that the 1st place White Sox can score 4 in the 1st against the Pathetic Twinkies . . . and the Pathetic Twinkies ties it up 4-4 in the bottom of the 1st? :confused:

Also, I'd like to say: It's cool and hip to hate on Danny Valencia, but I've always liked him; and I've always thought a not-insignificant part of the Valencia Hate has been the weird Minnesota tendency to dislike anybody who's just generically happy, and confident; and so I was glad to hear that he'd been called up this week; and glad to see he's putting good wood on the ball.

I know this is true, but still: we got a non-dominating pitcher, and a light-hitting infielder. I guess we don't have enough of that on this team! :mad:

Would you rather they have kept his for 6 to 8 more starts and then let him go for nothing when the Twins declined the ~$12M option for a wildly inconsistent pitcher?

It think it had more to do with him struggling to hit .200, but hey that's just me.

I should clarify: He deserved to be sent down. That didn't bother me at all. I even had a post about three pages ago saying how depressing it was the he (and Nishi) were still not hitting down in the minors.

What bugged me was all the yahoos saying: What a cocky jerk / what a Miami playbody / blah blah blah. If he can play, he can play; if he can't, he can't. It has nothing to do with being from a warm climate. :rolleyes:
