PierBridge Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Cuddy has been hitting the ball hard a LOT....just at people so far.....you stay with your people, when they are smoking the ball hard. When you are" hot", they fall in, when you are NOT hot, they are AT people. Young has been on a "hot" streak lately.....which is great....love to see him playing better than A BALL quality this year. Good for the team!!!!!!!!BUT since this is a CUDDY thread.....the Young lovers should put their comments in the Young thread.....PLEASE! Baseball is a team game, should NOT be one player against another, as some of the comments seem to be. When I look at the individual player stats, I am AMAZED the team is doing well....AMAZED. Good post.... And just a quick recap here and why myself and some of the other posters may come across as a bit of a s s in which I apologize to you guys for... About 3 years ago Sled started his campaign against Cuddyer which included not only Sleds opinion that Cuddy is a horrible baseball player that shouldn't be in the majors but also included personal attacks on Cuddyer as person, the way he talks, looks and conducts himself on and off the field. In nutshell all he's had to say about Cuddy is he is POS over-all as player and person in litterly 100's of post so some of us are always looking to poke jabs at Sled over last seaons monster year....Karma's a B eh?... I know it gets old for you guys so I'll not beat a dead horse any longer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierBridge Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 After his contract is up he's out of her. We don't need anymore double plays. Cuddyer is a bumb Sled having multiple accounts on FM is against the rules... Not only is the syntax and grammar a spot on match the IP address's are the same...

JBMasterAngler Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I do believe cuddyer has won the roberto clemente award at least once? That's basically an award for being a really good person off the field. A baseball fan could only dream that all players in the league acted like him.

PierBridge Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Quote: still waiting to hear back on the definition and link for "well hit average". Sorry Greebs missed ya the first time... The definition is easy the criteria used is did you hit the ball solidly. If you did you get a straight line slash on the score sheet we used 6 game stretches so we knew which players were on the ball. It's just another tool to help determine who's hitting the ball as the batting average doesn't always tell the the whole story... I know you like links for anything I post but you won't find this on MBL.com or ESPN...Sorry about that... My suggestion would be to watch the games a bit closer and tune in to the post game Twins live show as Cooms will occasionally talk about it as he did last week on one of the shows... Hope this helps ya.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zamboni Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Is cuddy a better player than man-ram? overall I would rather have Cuddyer. Ramirez is a poison in the clubhouse, and takes alot of plays off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledNeck Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 another SOLID night for Mr.Young at the plate tonite. now 41 RBIs and avg NEAR .300!!!!! Way to go Delmon!any guesses what day Young passes Morneau for the RBI lead on the Twins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldoncass Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Another typical good night for CUDDY.....2 hits, including getting the TWINS first RBI. See that nice play when CUDDY grabbed the double off the wall....oh that's right, he held him to a SINGLE....batter turned himself inside out getting back to first . Sorry, it isn't included in the box score....neither was Young's STUMBLE/DIVE/FALL ....whatever it was...on a double to left. Point is: there are many ways to help a TEAM win....CUDDY is OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE BEST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatoneguy Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Cuddyer's first hit and RBI was a gift - he hit a little bouncer that clipped the 3B bag or it would have been a fielders choice out. Cuddyer is a nice defensive player, and a choke artist at the plate. He had one decent season, and has been mediocre (at best) the rest of his career.

soldoncass Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 GIFT??????????????? Was it a hit or not? IT WAS A DOUBLE.....if you want to get into wouldas-couldas-wish it wasn't ,cause it proves me wrong kinda thing, the same goes for Young, and Mauer, AND everyone else too. ie: that was a handle hit, and shouldn't have lucked into the outfield, doesn't count.....or if the 2nd baseman woulda been in the hole more, Delmon wouldn't have lucked out .?....It was a double down the 3rd base line, and started the TWIN'S COMEBACK,give credit where credit is due ....or nobody should take ANYTHING you say seriously. Sometimes a player gets ROBBED, sometimes they get seeing eye hits. CUDDY has been "hammering at people" a lot this year, so far. Young has been finding holes, SO FAR, wait til they learn to quit throwing him strikes......oof-da! One thing to keep in mind about our outfielders.....who plays centerfield when Span gets a day off? That person is obviously who Gardy considers his best defensive option out there....no matter what uzr thing says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave2 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Cuddyer's first hit and RBI was a gift - he hit a little bouncer that clipped the 3B bag or it would have been a fielders choice out. Cuddyer is a nice defensive player, and a choke artist at the plate. He had one decent season, and has been mediocre (at best) the rest of his career. In this thread you say that Cuddyer is a "nice" defensive player but in another thread you say that he is below average defensively and was the 3rd worse at his position last year. Which is it?As far as being "mediocre goes. How many players in the history of MLB have not been mediocre? A lot of teams would love to have a "mediocre" outfielder as good as Cuddyer.

mr_jman Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Have to agree with soldoncass. Every player gets gift hits and every player has times where they hit a ball hard and get outs. I almost think we should just close down the baseball threads till the season ends AND THEN judge each player..... Its like if Young has a good night at the plate all the Young fans pipe up and say he's amazing, if Cuddy has an o for 3 night all the haters feel like they have to mention how bad of a player he is..... Same with Punto, Kubel, Gardy's decisions, etc...No one complains that Morneau has about an 0 for 13 going right now! Or Mauer isn't hitting as hot as he usually does this time of year..... ALMOST EVERYBODY LOVES THESE TWO GUYS!I know its everybodies right to say what they want about whomever they want, but over analyzing every single game and judging a player on 1/162 of a season makes absolutely no sense And yes, I am just as guilty of chiming in (on a positive side... mostly) as everybody else.

Scott K Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Quote:Michael Cuddyer on Friday is making his first start at third base since 2005.Cuddyer made a start at second base on May 31, but this is his first at third base since be played the position pretty regularly five years ago. Putting him at third allows the Twins to use both Jason Kubel and Delmon Young in the outfield tonight in Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
