Not all Twins fans. smile

I do get the frustration and we are getting pretty close to having him not be the closer. But Gardy or any manager for that matter doesn't make rash decisions based on current emotions.

42 saves last year isn't chopped liver and up until the last couple games he had been decent after the rocky start. I'm not happy with 4 blown saves "2 are Delmon youngs" either but it just isn't how baseball works. I know that doesn't ya help much tho being the die-hard Twins fan you are... grin

And don't forget the last "Gardy Gardy please" thread in which some of us whined Delmon Young up in the batting order ahead of Cuddy and he "delmonty" went in the tank.

Speaking of which where is/has Coach been????? He was great poster and is missed in here!

I'd prefer Nathan back in the closer role over Perkins although Perk is pitching great at the moment. But either would work for me at this point if there was going to be a change which I think is a reasonable request based on the last 3 debacles.

I think Capps would benefit from some time in the minors, but the way it is now, he wouldnt get much action down there shocked

Really though, Capps will be a closer for the rest of the season, it just may not be with us.

I really never have been a big fan of Capps. Even though he had a lot of saves last year the times I've watched him, even this year, he keeps giving up hits/runs. Capps can't get upset at Gardy for being pulled. First 3 batters last night, HR, single, walk. I can imagine what Gardy said in the dugout after the HR. I think Capps would be great trade bait. Get some good prospects...pitcher, catcher, infielder. This can also trim the payroll. I think Nathan/Perkins would be a good combo.

Gardy has done a good job, since Saturday, of keeping Capps on a short leash. For now at least, ya gotta keep putting him in there, just keep Perk warmed up in case...

Never been the biggest Capps fan either (though I don't hate him) it wouldn't bother be at all if there were some role changes. To release him however is a bit drastic with an already stinky bullpen. Gardy is big on his bullpen having defined roles, so we will see.

the guy had one good season last year and the others average to sub par, year before last 5.08 ERA year before that 3 something with like 17 saves, he is an average closer at best, he was having a good year last year and we bought into it, this year he is doing what he does some games he dominates others he gets dominated.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
