Is it just me that thinks Span plays well in left field and should be there more often?
or is him playing in RF really a better idea?
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
his woes in RF are exaggerated by SSS
by montanatwinsfan on Sep 29, 2009 2:16 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm not even talking about him playing poorly in RF (I don't think he is *poor*)
I just think he plays better in LF.
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
The corners are indeed easier...
Span’s OK in CF, though, no?
(Stuck on gameday here, can’t be sure)
LF is better than RF for him...
And RF is better than LF for Delmon.
Gardy has completely forgotten that Cuddy isn’t out there anymore.
but Kubel is better in RF than LF
and Young is better in LF than Kubel is, so if you are gunna pull Kubel and put in Gomez, move Span so that Delmon does not have to make ANY mental adjustments….PLEASE.

come on boys

"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
What a line-up for the ninth
Back in May, if you had told me we would have Casilla, Tolbert and Punto up in the ninth inning of a game like this, I would have laughed out loud. And then cried.
"You're thinking too much. Just have fun." -- Bennie "The Jet" Rodriguez in Sandlot
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"There are only two things that are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein
that was Punto bunting
Seems to me he executes the bunt once in every 5 attempts; not my choice of guy to try the squeeze with.
I understand the thought – Punto is pop up prone, not the likeliest guy to hit a fly ball deep enough to score the runner & quite capable of hitting the ground ball that holds the runner at third.
But he’s a bad bunter.
Oh my god.
are you kidding me. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

Not at all
The pitch was practically over his head. Punto had no chance. That’s why you don’t call that in 0-0 count.
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
overmanaging...
Gardy in playoff mode already…
You’d think we could get a hit or a SF like any other team…
True, but Casilla was already running.
If Punto does nothing Casilla is already out. He had to try it.
he tried to bunt a ball, while falling away, that was at his chin, for gods'sake!
by montanatwinsfan on Sep 29, 2009 2:28 PM EDT up reply actions
I will defend him here
Punto converted a squeeze a few weeks ago against the Rangers (a game I was at) – he laid down a beautiful bunt.

He didn't have a choice.
Casilla was already running. The call was on. He does nothing, Casilla’s out.
you're right.
in my frustration I failed to note that it was a HAR. Obviously it was, my bad.

If he sniffs the field in this series when the game is within 5 runs, I will be PISSED OFF.

I know...
Seems like it’s in the wrong order, too – Yoda said that fear leads to anger, but I was pissed at Punto before I was fearful.
"There are only two things that are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein
that was their catcher who got the bunt down
Guys on our roster like Punto, Casilla & Gomez all ought to be EXPERT bunters.
Agree it was a hard pitch for anyone to bunt – still don’t like the play when you have a guy who’s not very good at it up there.
Leyland outmanaged Gardy there?

Man
The last couple innings should drive this point home: Neither of these teams are very good. THis will be intense baseball, not good baseball. You wants to give it away more?
Also, Bert just talked about the Twins getting the little things done. WTF.

who thinks about soccer right now?!
one game back. 1. Uno.
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
I suppose something relaxing after that game would be nice.
I feel like I need a shower.
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
hahaha
pretty soon you won’t even care who wins. :)
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
Oh I will care.
I just need something so I’m not a mental trainwreck after this game. I usually get 22 hours or so to recover. Now it’s just like, “Hey, gametime.”
Thinking about soccer at t time like this
Is like thinking about gramma during coitus
"You're thinking too much. Just have fun." -- Bennie "The Jet" Rodriguez in Sandlot
never during that time, though!
that’s just wrong.
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
some english major you are...
phony.
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
Yeah, then I start thinking about dangling participles and split infinities...
…and I prematurely release the draft
"You're thinking too much. Just have fun." -- Bennie "The Jet" Rodriguez in Sandlot
damn it Jesse
I told you not on game threads…these gossip girls are going to talk it up now!
haha…love me some Twins win!
Bwahahaha....
….let me know if you want me to handle the recap. I’m not at work right now after all.
Please do
I’m a little behind today for some reason

"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett

I had a meeting from Noon-2pm!
I have never been so preoccupied in my entire life. !
I always loved that one.
but hey, what a good result to come back to! :)
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
Well I haven't been fired yet!
I made it through today without getting fired for watching the game. I hope I can say the same after Thursday’s contest.
