Friend of Nordhagen Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 08:02 PM) With how aggressive the Twins are playing, they might steal 6 bases off of Gavin tomorrow. Fortunately, though, we're matching their aggressiveness and intelligence. What a total and complete indictment of this team's heart -- and the "braintrust" that assembled it.

fathom Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 01:02 AM) I kinda think, if you see those shots of Ozzie, that he knows that his team isn't real interested in competing. He enabled some of that, with his bulls*** about needing to have a big lead before going into the Dome. He's the one who showed no urgency in actually trying to win some games in the last month by letting Horacio Ramirez pitch in close situations. That suspended game vs Baltimore still ranks as the worst managed game I can ever remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He enabled some of that, with his bulls*** about needing to have a big lead before going into the Dome. But I think he knows that, without Quentin, the team lacks pop. And even with Quentin, Ozzie's team lacks heart. I think he's known that for awhile. Ya think. I really hope KW does something about this in the offseason. Between Thome, Konerko and Dye...I've seen more enthusiasm about a cold sore than that group shows. But....they're veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even with Quentin, Ozzie's team lacks heart. I think he's known that for awhile. This team had plenty of heart and moxie until about the time Linebrink went down in late July. Ever since then, it has been a struggle, and our pitching has struggled much more than in the first half. Buehrle just doesn't have it tonight. He's still in the game, but he has no absolutely no command/control. And the Twins can smell blood in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stat guys never get this. See Iguchi, Tad. 65 pitches. When's the last time Mark had that count through 3? This is starting to remind me of that WS game that he just kept battling and keeping it close...although our bullpen then was SLIGHTLY better, lol.
