Friend of Nordhagen Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) Why aren't they a 100 win team? They're good in every aspect, and have nearly all of their players performing well. People really underestimate how awful their schedule is the rest of the way. I've been on the Twins bandwagon all year; I think they're a really good team -- and better than us, 1-9. Their lineup is excellent. But the pitching is flat-out over-performing (particularly the back of their rotation and a fella like Matt Capps), they don't have Morneau, and Jim Thome is playing every day now and streaking. That generally means that (a) Jimmy's going to get tired; and (B) Jimmy, the ultimate streak hitter, is about to see his OPS take a little digger. And he's the key to their offense right now. Add it up, and you get a very good team, but not one that's going to average a loss a week for the next month. But, of course, I could be completely wrong.

Worst pitcher I've ever seen in the majors. He's going to have to be pretty bad to reach Scott Ruffcorn status. I don't think Ruffcorn ever had a good inning. I'm not talking outing, I'm talking inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is he's gotten enough hits to not have an abysmal batting average. However, he does a lot of stuff that hurts your offense. He can't hit with RISP, he's a horrible base runner, and is allergic to having productive outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinsdorf wanted to catch lightening in a bottle with the entire offense. Man, it's gotta be hard to be the GM with two hands tied behind your back. The owner hand picks your manager and doesn't allow you to negotiate with the agent who represents the best in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
