ANGRY FAN IS ANGRY ABOUT MAUER!!!

I think it is pretty damn valid that the Twins had a very consistent streak of dominant starting pitching, and that indeed ground to a halt when JoJo came back. You said nothing to address that, you just call me an idiot and a troll again.
Blackie for instance has been doing much worse with Mauer calling his pitches, he was downright solid with the backups.

Obviously the pitchers in the end are the ones who make the final decisions and are the ones who throw the ball. But to call me an idiot and a troll for suggesting that catchers who aren’t named Joe Mauer seem to get a little bit more from several pitchers on the staff is downright idiocy.

I am no idiot, I have watched the Twins since before the ‘87 Series. Were you even alive for any of the Twins championships? My disagreeing with you does not make me stupid, or a troll.

including SSS (That’s South Side Sox, in case you even that stupid).

That would make you the troll, no? Carry on. I can start insulting you every time you post, too! But I’m an adult. :D

It’s just been such a short time, and he was so bad before he acknowledged that we was not ready, his numbers haven’t recovered. By year end, his OPS will be above .800 and he’ll still be a top 5 defensive catcher.

The shortest answer is that he had offseason knee surgery and he tried to come back too quickly. The fact that his knee hadn’t healed forced him to compensate too much with his legs. “Bilateral leg weakness” is the technical term for “dead legs”. Throw in a nasty viral infection in the mix too (which also put Morneau on the DL). So racing back too quickly from an injury… how is that a character flaw again.

You know, you were in the other threads where this was discussed, but it doesn’t fit your “Mauer is paid too much so he must be a pansy” narrative so you ignore it.

So we’re not having a discussion here. You’re just repeating the same thing over and over and laughing that no one has an answer for you despite the fact that people have refuted your points ad nauseum.

In fact, we’ll repeat this discussion again next week because you’ll ignore this post. :-)

HFCS and caramel color beats calcium, vitamin d and pus every day.

At the very least, on the radio, because they are always talking about Land O Lakes, the official milk of Twins Territory.

Also, the giant sign of Minnie and Paul that shakes hands when the Twins hit a home run is nice and all, but I really miss the giant milk jug that lit up.
