DonBo Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Scored 6 runs each of the last two games. Unfortunatly, we gave up SEVENTEEN runs today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Buck Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hey Don I'll ask the big question............Their bats are coming around..............but................are they making good contact with the ball ? This would be a weird stat but if we scored 6 runs per game last season how many wins would that have amounted to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2k1stang Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 This is for Musky Buck. I didn't know how to count ties, so I just called them no decisions. But this is what I came up with. Sorry, I broke the season up into 50 game stretches because that's how the site I got the info from did it. It was just easier that way. All the info I got was from this page: http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/MIN/2011-schedule-scores.shtmlTeam totals if they scored 6 runs per game:First 50 games: Wins: 32 Losses: 15 No decision: 3Second 50 games: Wins: 37 Losses: 8 No decision: 5Third 50 games: Wins: 26 Losses: 18 No decision: 6Last 12 games: Wins: 6 Losses: 3 No decision: 3Totals through 162 games: Wins: 101 Losses: 44 No decision: 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2k1stang Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 If I had known I wouldn't get any responses at all, I wouldn't have bothered to look that up. Whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmitty3 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 And if they could throw 1 hitters every day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_healer_guy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Besides Seattle, probably the worst offense in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Buck Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Sorry here's the response 100+ wins sounds good to me ! Hey with Nishi swimming back to triple AAA how many wins will that cost us ? 17 Million is the cost dollar wise, jk on the wins, I think Nishi better line up a pad at New Britain AA. 72 wins I predict.

pikestabber Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 So far today, Morneau is 3 for 3 with a dinger and 3 RBIs. That's 3 very good outings in a row from him. Encouraging, for sure.Hughes continues to impress...another HR today and 3 more RBIs. .383 BA as of right now. Of course, he was a monster in the spring last year, too, but hopefully some of that translates to the regular season. I have to think he makes the club out of spring training?

DonBo Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 How about Ploufe in the AA game? Three HR's and a double! We're comin', we're comin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamZombie Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm somewhat hopeful hearing about the HR's that are being hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydog25 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 My dream lineup for opening day (players currently on roster of course)Span CFCarroll SSMauer CMorneau DHWillingham LFParmalee 1stHughes 2ndValencia 3rdPlouffe RFMaybe switch around the bottom few guys, but I think that is pretty dam good. We lose some speed at the bottom of the order with Casilla on the bench, but I think hughes can have a huge year offensivly if he stays healthy and can play daily. I think we are going to score some runs this year, the problem is so is everyone else against our shotty pitching. Either way I can't wait!!

Musky Buck Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 It is pretty good until you stack it up against the other teams. jk, that is about what it is, don't forget we got Nishi in the minors for a call up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydog25 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I hear ya...lots of question marks in that lineup. Just nice to see that amount of players with some pop in thier bat. I am your typical homer, just getting myself excited over a nice spring training with some good offense. I am sure I will be singing a different tune by June 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Buck Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 start singing luckydog25, june 1st feels many losses away. Look at our April schedule and you be singing a month earlier. Getting a bit tough on the fan when all 4 of our major sport teams are realistically below average. Maybe tonight they explode, maybe we just aren't getting our pitch to hit, if not it will only be the worst start in Twins history, records are meant to be broken .

thatoneguy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Getting a bit tough on the fan when all 4 of our major sport teams are realistically below average. The Twins are a train wreck, and the Vikings have tons of holes to fill. The T-Wolves are clearly on the rise - as long as Rubio can rebound from his injury - and are realistically a 2-guard and a solid bench player away from being a playoff team. The Wild did very well in the last draft, and will get the #7 pick in the next draft, plus they have lots of cap room and (supposedly) an aggressive plan to bring in A-list free agents.There's light at the end of the tunnel for the latter two teams, but a whole lotta tunnel left for the Twins and Vikes. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegleg Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Willingham might be able to hit but after seeing 5 games he reminds me a lot of Delmon out in left field... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grebe Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Dam DonBo! Move over Gardy, the DonBo express is kickin a$$ and ready to roll! Good job you did there, motivating the team with threats of personalized beatings, it worked! Maybe they should put arbitrary caneing on the spring training schedule? " You there! How many times have you struck out? Five you say? Okay, off with the shoes...iiiiiiiiit's time!"I whine about the Twins losing and stuff, coaching changes, players, trades, etc. but it's exciting when the bats come around and the pitching is okay. To a ball fan, you never tire of hearing the sound of the bat on a home run ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikestabber Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 That was a big win against a legitimate ace pitcher. Maybe the confidence boost we needed to ride the wave for a while. That's baseball...ebb and flow. Once everyone gets their bats going, our offense will score a lot of runs this year. Can the pitching hold up? That's the burning question...

pikestabber Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Span, 4 for 5 already today, and Mauer and Willingham each have a homer... Twins come back from 6-0 to tie it up 6-6. 15 total hits so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
