Makes Sense Seeing As How Our Offense Well…

May 9th, 2006 by SBG

Elias provides this little tidbit for Twins' fans ongoing angst.

Rangers rookie John Koronka pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowed three runs and earned the win in Texas' 6-4 victory against Minnesota. Over the past two seasons, rookie starting pitchers are 10-4 with a 3.11 ERA against the Twins. That's the highest winning percentage and lowest ERA for rookie starters against any American League team over that period.

Is this vindication for the much maligned Scotty Ullger in that nobody can help this bunch of clueless hackers? (Not even the great Joe Vavra.)

Wow, the stats really agree with the observations here. It would be nice to see the illustrious list of rookie pitchers that shut us down, or even to see how other teams have fared against the same bunch.

Banjo, or maybe Vavra is also the wrong replacement; or maybe it doesn't matter who the hitting coach might be, as long as the kids have Gardy talking into their other ear.

Oh..always with the Gardenhire bashing. :)

By kids do you mean Mauer and Morneau? The rest of the roster is not exactly comprised of spring chickens. I also see that both Bartlett and Kubel have cooled off in triple A.

Moss believes the Twins still have one of the youngest rosters in the bigs. Or maybe that was before they sent Bartlett and Kubel down in favor of Sierra and Whoeverthehell (Reyes??).

Moss thinks that it is an organizational problem, not necessarily that Ullger or Vavra could be singled out. It is time to clean house and bring in a group from outside the organization to lead (save Rick Anderson).
