Thats the averages on this lineup this season after tonights 5 innings.

 

 

I'm sorry...there is absolutely NO excuse for this garbage product, every f***ing year in April, from this team, regardless of who is in the lineup.

so we're going to get better, awesome :)

I would have said the same thing before this season. This lineup just can't contend in the American League. For some dumb ass reason, Ozzie thought he was smarter than every other front office in the AL. The Sox rarely very have players just come out of nowhere and have big offensive seasons. There were so many "we'll have a good offense IF" coming into the season.

So you say the same thing , over and over about how bad the Sox are. You're a knowledgeable poster and have influenced many a poster into a more negative approach. A season is a marathon not a sprint. The pitching is great and the offense isn't . So what else is new ?

Thats because his math is off, its 46 runs according to his total, and 26 from the homerun, which equals 56.5 percent

Good call.

agreed...i think we will be sellers this year....im just not sure anyone we would sell off has any real value

We should have been sellers last year...For Kenny to pick up Peavy and Rios was one of the more aburd GM moves that I have ever seen. We have an aging core and all kinds of holes.

 

Kenny moves typically appeal to the "fantasy-League' makeup of many Sox fans.

 

We still might win this game, but I doubt that this team will contend.

For starters, this is the best Twins offense they've had since they became good again this decade. They can run away with this thing if we don't start hitting better.

Oh now I get it . It's the month of April that's bad luck.

Good start to this inning.

It's not like the offense has done anything to prove him remotely wrong thus far. I'm not exactly saying we should all be pessimists, but it didn't exactly take a genius to see that the offense would not be very good coming into the season. Even the most optimistic posters were talking about it being "good enough." Doesn't exactly inspire much confidence.

Huge error by Choo after some great defense tonight! Bunt him over, get him in.

Alright, total pet peeve here. So Ramirez is running to 3rd base, the ball's in right field, and he turns his head almost all the way around to look behind him. He's done this since he got here. USE YOUR COACHES. It's like when he does a spin coming across the bag, trying to turn 2. DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.

 

What in God's name do our coaches do?

Great so your a Twins fan ? Cubs fan ? Twins got any weaknesses ?

Twins got any weaknesses ?

 

No. :mellow:

Holy f*** man.

I'm just going to pop-in (God, do i miss watching these games) to say i think Teahen should start hitting higher in the order. Not because he's hitting like a superstar, but because he's get on base at a tremendous rate, and i'd like to ride that hot streak while we can.

Beckham's had some really bad ABs with RISP so far this year.

So we're fans of the enemy because we're realistic about what to expect from a badly put together 'smallball' A.L. team?

We haven't hit much but we're in almost every game so adding a bat like Gonzales wouldn't help ? That's absurd.

You don't have to be a Twins fans to make an objective prediction on the state of this divison.

Awful at bats. Totally letting an awful pitcher dictate our at bats.

FAIL

is quentin trying to be like moises alou, god thats annoying

beckham has to get that run home

Man on 3rd, less than 2 outs. Most clubs consider that an automatic run.

 

We're not most clubs.

We've also faced mediocre pitching for the most part this season.

Quentin is just awful now too. He doesn't know how to take pitches apparently.
