SledNeck Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Why? Boof always gets shelled in the first inning...imagine him coming out of the bullpen...ewwww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeLakeTom Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Gardy says that as soon as he gets a starter back, one of the current starters will have to go to the bullpen. Boof or Slowley??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledNeck Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Id keep slowey in the rotation. Boof hasnt done anything to prove he deserves to remain a starter. Time to give the other guys a longer shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntnfishsd Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Slowey for sure. Just look at what he did against Detroit (6IP, 4H, 0R, 0ER) compared to Boof (3IP, 7H, 9R, 8ER) the next night. I can't take Boof anymore, he has had plenty of chances... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisosy11 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I disagree with bringing in Nathan more in the 8th. His arm is trained for the ninth and I don't think it would help him to stretch that because of possible negative effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 TTTAnother good game gets out of hand with Crain on the mound. 4 runs on 0.1IP. Typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike morris Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hard to believe Crain's ERA is still in the mid 3's... Must inherit a lot of runners and let them score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeLakeTom Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 This sums it up fairly well... For the bullpen, with its 5.88 road ERA vs. a 2.00 ERA at home, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisosy11 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Good ole homecooking.Man do you hate Yankee Stadium as much as Gardy and the twins...they can never win there.Hopefully if we make the playoffs the yankees won't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledNeck Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 You have to wonder how long they are gonna let Crain keep Rinconing the games away before they dump him. We need to put him in a trade package in the offseason.P00 P00 X 100000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike morris Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I don't understand Gardy at all. Does he just plain suck at managing? We all know Crain cannot get the job done!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEATMOSS Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ok, it's one thing to second guess the manager the day after, that's what keyboard warriors and KFAN callers do. But to say Gardy sucks at managing is just plain ignorant.The Twins have a miserly owner and a low budget. They have 2 bona fide studs in the field and one of the better closers in baseball. That's it. The fact that the Twins are contenders simply amazes me. From the front office to on field management, this is simply dollar for dollar the best run organization in baseball. I am enjoying every minute of this season."Trade this guy, bench this guy blah blah blah".....second guess all you want.....but just once in awhile look around at all the high buck teams that really do suck and appreciate what we've got right here. Enjoy the ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greebs Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 there's no denying that jesse's been the guy on the mound an awful lot lately when the game has ended. I don't get it why he gets used in these key spots where we need outs but apparently gardy doesn't think he has anybody else?does this mean that we can officially call jesse the new closer on the team? he's closed out more games than nathan quite a bit lately.

Windy City Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I keep hearing this yacking about how great the Twinks do on a limited budget with a payroll half that of my Pale Hose. So tell me this guys, the most expensive ticket at the Cell is $65, parking is $22 and a beer is $6.50. Can I assume that you are paying about $30 for your best ticket in the Baggie Dome and what does a glass of suds set you back? Just asking!Windy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeLakeTom Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I am sure that you will find a few of us that agree with you, not all are negative Nellie's. Right Garyc?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Crichton Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Right on dude T. I think there is a forum under Il if you want to be a Negative Nelly. I am sure there is plenty down there. Hey everyone has bad days and this is an offensive game, so us only having 2 runs and have your relievers come in night after night to protect a 1 run lead versus a 3 or 4 run lead. Things can happen, and will. The batters are up to hit the ball and very capable of doing so. That is why they get paid the big bucks. Everything will fall into place once the bats start producing, and we won't be in this position much. The issue I don't understand is the ERA on the road versus at home. Very confusing. I wonder if the mound is closer or father away then the dome. (just kidding). GO TWINS and Keep the faith boys. Work with what you have. G.C.

carnelianlake Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm sick and tired of seeing these bums come in from the bullpen! Guerrier, Ayala, Crain...it's time for Mr. Smith to go shopping before the seasons lost. That bluff Granderson did to Crain doesn't even work in Little League.
