Game 75 Open Thread: Twins at Cardinals

Minnesota Twins at St. Louis Cardinals, Jun 26, 2009 8:15 PM EDT


Perkins Wainwright
2-4, 5.10 8-4, 3.58

Perkins is a Soft Tossin Lefty in everything but the actual velocity of his fastball, which does touch 90; hopefully that contradiction is enough to list the Cardinals' offense out of its southpaw doldrums.

Hate. Thurston.

Absolutely despise him. I don’t care about the arguments toward his athleticism or “good glove”, I cannot stand having him at third not making plays. We could just as well have Wallace there. However, Wallace would hit

by dcfcblues on Jun 26, 2009 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

How about giving the guy a shot?

Just like they did with Price. He is batting .268, Colby’s lifetime at AAA is .251 and lifetime at MILB is .277. This is a lot better. If Wallace is going to be your everyday 3B at ’10, you might as well give him a shot. Its not like our surplus of third basemen are doing wonders this year… It is the positin with the least batting production this year at St. Louis…

the only reasons he should not in is if his leg hurts from being hit three times in the last week

or he’s down about his lack of production in the last series. which he shouldn’t be, he wasn’t the only one who didn’t do a lot this week.

That's the thing I keep telling myself

A lot of our guys are struggling right now, but we haven’t even reached the halfway point yet. People wrote off Carlos Delgado early last season, then three months later he was being called an MVP candidate. Not saying Ank, Luddy, or any of the other guys who are struggling will make that kind of turnaround. But, there is still plenty of time for them to be productive players.

My last comment...

How can you have Pujols and suck at scoring?

We are looking like the Giants when they had Bonds for the last few years. We will make the playoffs but unless Wallace,Mateo.& Miller all go straight to the majors with much success we won’t last long in the post season. I hope I am wrong. It is ashame because a player like Pujols only comes along once in a lifetime and we should build around him and screw the future unless they can promise us another Pujols in 5 years.

Yeah. Your never gonna get a better player to build around than Albert.

If you can’t build a dynasty around Pujols then you should just resign. How many more years do we have and how long till these kids fill in? Sieze the day cause no matter how good your core player is he has only a finite exsistance.

If you can’t commit to help the games best hitter win some championships now then lets just get it over with and trade him now.

The worse thing is

that Pujols has expressed his desire to reamin with the Cardinals unless we stop becoming a competitive team. If we do not build around Pujols and get players to hit around Pujols and protect him, he might leave (which is the thing I fear the most in this world besides… bees)

Another retarded point...

Get a god damn Left handed pitcher to throw batting practice. I am tired of conceding games of Left handers because the staff doesn’t think it is a big deal to prepare for Left handed starters. With so many Left handed hitters you might want to get them some exposure to Left handed pitchers in non game situations so they are prepared for the game.

I am tired of watching this team get shutdown by nobody/somebody LH starters.
