I am getting impatient with the Twin's impatience

As I write this the Twins are about to lose to someone named Fausto Carmona. He hasn't won in a year, and its not because of bad luck, he has a career ERA of 5.42. Again the Twins showed no patience just seeing 3.3 pitches per plate appearance against a pitcher who averages 3.9 pitches per PA in his career.

Impatience is killing the offense on this team, and I think it stems from the manager. Gardy obviously doesn't appreciate patient hitters nor does understand the importance of patience and walking. This is evident in the fact that he has Tyner batting leadoff. Tyner has a career OBA of .310 but he has 56 career SBs.

The league average OBA over the last few years is .333. He is not even average at getting on base and Gardy leads him off.

Baseball has changed. The stolen base and bunt are not as important as they use to be. But Gardy, and he is not alone in this belief, bellieves it is still 1975 when homeruns were much more rare and the stolen base was more important.

Get with the times.

The Twins just lost.

The Twins rank 27th in the league in walks.
