60 pitches! lol

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 03:51 PM) You can fiddle around with it, put someone else at DH for a day off or whatever, but yeah, that's basically who I'd have out there as the lineup against lefties. It takes out your 2 terrible platoon split guys. I agree with you but I know there would be guys on here complaining about the lack of power in the line up lol

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 03:48 PM) There it is. To clarify BTW, LaRoche's OPS+ against lefties is not 77. That's his tOPS+, which just scales around a given player's baseline. So he's at 107 against R and 77 against L, which comes out to 100. His OPS+ is probably a lot closer to his wRC+ over at Fangraphs, which is 89. So against LHP we want: C-Flowers 1B- Abreu 2B- Johnson 3B- Beckham SS- Ramirez LF- Melky CF- Eaton RF- Emilio DH- Avi

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 03:42 PM) We have 3 righties on the bench, they all should be used on days when there's a lefty on the mound. Gillaspie and LaRoche should flat out not be playing when there's a lefty on the mound. We even have a roster built to do this, yet the fact that it's not happening with LaRoche was completely predictable in early December. I agree but how many people are going to be pissed if you see Beckham or Sanchez playing DH? You don't want Emilio in the DH role because he has versatility. You don't want Soto DHing because of the lack of bench catcher. So you have Beckham or Sanchez and I expect Sanchez to be gone here soon Edit: I guess you can have AVI DH and Emilio play RF

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) Couldn't agree more. Really, LaRoche has no business playing against LHP. Still wish we had Viciedo over Bonifacio on the bench. Especially if Robin is just going to play Beckham against lefties.

Does anyone know if there is a guy controlling the CF camera or if it is just sitting there? It is shaking yet again

2 walks! Count em!

Good job Abreu. I thought it was going to be a quick inning

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) lmfao wtf is wrong with this team. I know it is early, and not blaming it all on him but I just don't think Robin is manager material

Does any pitcher actually want to step up for this team?!?

Pitching has been so bad. another 25+ pitch inning for our SP

0 ER all series against the Tigers and 3 batters in they already have 1 against us

lol

Noesi doesn't have much control

Noesi's change is 88 MPH? He needs to take a bit more off that

Let's get that first W! I expect a big win

Adam Eaton (6 pts): Melky Cabrera (3 pts): Jose Abreu (1 pts): LetTheBallFly, CarlosMartinez Adam LaRoche (2 pts): Aviasil Garcia (3 pts): ChiSox59, MHizzle85, Jose Abreu, hi8is Alexei Ramirez (4 pts): lord chas, BigHurt3515 Gillespie/Beckham (4 pts): Soto/Tyler Flowers (3 pts): Micah Johnson/Carlos Sanchez (6 pts): Condor13 Bench (8 pts):

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 10:56 PM) This Saturday I'll be proposing to my girlfriend of 2 years and a couple months. Going to be doing it at the winery and I've never been so anxious in my life. This is also the first time I planned something out way in advance as well which is telling because I procrastinate everything lol. Congrats and good luck! I proposed 3 weeks ago today and I was extremely nervous as well. Take your time when talking to her, I went way too quick and can't even remember what I said because I was so damn nervous for some reason. But surprisingly I kept my cool the whole day and she had no idea it was coming

I am really hoping Kevan Smith manages to turn out into something. At least better then Flowers

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 04:49 PM) Twins haven't scored a run yet this year. You know what that means? 6+ runs tomorrow

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) Yeah in football. I don't see how 0-3 doesn't suck especially after the off-season we had. Now we are 3 games back already, I know its a long season but still.

0-3 is so demoralizing

Does Robertson not know how to hold runners on?

What is the deal with Eaton

What year is it again?
