I love Dynasty League Baseball and have played it for years. I love it so much I provided a free ad for the game this season to thank Mike Cieslinski for the many years of enjoyment I’ve gotten from the game. At some point I will do an in-depth review of the game for the site to so you can get a better idea about the game’s strengths and weaknesses.

Zero tolerance always works. It's science.

Hypnotist: You are all very good players.
Team: We are all very good players.
Hypnotist: You will beat Shelbyville.
Team: We will beat Shelbyville.
Hypnotist: You will give 110 percent.
Team: That’s impossible no one can give more than 100 percent. By definition that’s the most any one can give.

It absolutely is interesting to see guys who have been playing this game for their whole lives looking really bad in the field due to rustiness or lack of conditioning. I watched some of the Yankees' ST game today, and there were a couple of plays in the field turned by major-leaguers which would have drawn a laugh on my softball team.

Why is he supposed to bring his glove tight to his chest?

I bet Camp Zero Tolerance serves Krusty Brand Imitation Gruel ("9 out of 10 orphans can't tell the difference").

So I'm guessing its the exact opposite of the Camp for Tolerance?

*Six* coaches had to tell him the same thing? Did they also ask him about his TPS reports?

We'll know Gardenhire really means business when he harpoons The Blob.

If somebody went into Operation Shutdown at Camp Zero Tolerance, what would happen?

A food fight.

They probably reward good play with Partially Gelatinated Non-Dairy Gum-Based Beverages too.

I can only think that he's talking about the simulated follow-thru to start a drill. Whatever they were doing, it must have been seen as really important to start with your hands in the right place.

Gardenhire and Kelly might be riding the coaches pretty hard as well, so they could be as scrutinized as the players.

It's been a funny year in Twins Country. Over the weekend was a piece on how Gardy isn't asking the guys how they're feeling and they're not offering any bad news. As long as no one actually gets hurt in the next six months it's kind of cute, but time will tell if things are changing in the trainers' room. The staff is the same, but they keep saying things will be different so time will tell what that means.

“He had six coaches who had him through the minor league system go tell him, ‘What the heck are you doing?’ ” Gardenhire said. “They’ve all had relationships with him; they’ve all dealt with him; they know he’s a good kid. So that’s good, that six people went up to him and said, ‘Get your head out of your back pocket.’ “

Tyler Robertson: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and the Twins win a few extra games, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation? And here's something else, Terry: I have eight different bosses right now.
Terry Ryan: I beg your pardon?
Tyler Robertson: Eight bosses.
Terry Ryan: Eight?
Tyler Robertson: Eight, Terry. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get cut.

I would think its because his normal windup includes bringing his hands to his chest, so if he didn't do this in the drill he would be effectively committing a balk.

I hope Mauer and Morneau are back to their old selves this year, otherwise the Twins are going to suck really bad.

You deserve it. You want 6 ounces of regular or a whole can of Diet?

> Gardenhire and Kelly might be riding the coaches pretty hard as well

They fired the AAA staff in the offseason because the players coming up from the minors didn't know how to play defense (where to cutoff, who fields the bunts, etc).

That link justifies the existence of this entire thread, in spite of the intolerable number of unavoidable commercials.

Zero tolerance? There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.

I suppose we can do that. You're down in Storage Room B, right?
