The great baseball term "Damn lies and statistics" is too commonly appropriate. I appreciate the careful way you bring stats into play in an APPROPRIATE manner.<br />I've been reading. Just little time to comment/little to offer.<br />Anyway, thanks & keep it up.Marvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287347170241944079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790694040229595303.post-67216880816733210042009-06-28T21:04:32.042-04:002009-06-28T21:04:32.042-04:00thry -

It's a f***ing crime. Gardy has done such a great job of eliminating himself from the Cuddyer/Young controversy in RF that he has damaged the potential of the team.<br />And how often has that other guy hitting above .350 been to the plate?<br />I'm a Twins fan and cannot help but appreciate Red Man. Still, to have a .350+ hitter on the bench is reason enough to question Gardy's wisdom.<br />Something is amiss. I think it is in the manager's office.Marvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287347170241944079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790694040229595303.post-59449236677881429552009-06-27T21:11:35.185-04:002009-06-27T21:11:35.185-04:00Hi Marv,

He came through as a pinch hitter today, but he needs more time out there. So does Gomez. And having Morales sit while Redmond is playing is mind-boggling. The Twins have to let the young guys show what they can dothrylos98https://www.blogger.com/profile/15729211884114784386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790694040229595303.post-82360938896788058982009-06-26T23:17:51.542-04:002009-06-26T23:17:51.542-04:00Sure would like to think that playing Delmon every...Sure would like to think that playing Delmon every day would pay off. I've really been pulling for the guy since he got here, but .251/.278/.316 is pretty bad by almost any measure. Losing patience. Hope he picks it up soon.<br /><br />Fun ramblings thry.
