    Lewis played five games in center in the AFL and I think we can all agree the skill set is different between IF and OF. And beside that point, it’s a development league, the same as the minor leagues. That’s where you test out new positions, where the stakes are lower and the eagerness to go flat-out all the time should be lower. Anyone can be injured at any position at any time but this looks pretty bad for the Twins. They took an elite prospect and put him in the outfield without more than a handful of reps and he injured himself on a wall. That’s not great, Bob.

    He had been a centerfielder for all of about ten days. It’s not unreasonable to question whether a player can learn something like that in less than a fortnight.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Not entirely, IMO. I was quite against just throwing him in the outfield and supported letting him figure out new positions in St Paul for awhile. I was also leery of him being recalled so quickly but deferred to the Twins’ judgment on that. And now this happened. No matter how good the athlete, it’s pretty apparent they can’t just learn a position on the fly. There’s no reason for this to have happened.

    Just checked Gameday and wanted to pop in and say: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    Are the Yankees sure he’s wearing his glove on the correct hand?

    The Twins have been taking very good PAs tonight.

    Easiest way to score is with one swing.

    That’s not bad baserunning, that’s bad coaching. Urshela can’t see the outfielder.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Woof.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    awwwwww yeahhhhhhhh
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, that’s certainly a way to play a ball off the wall.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, that’s certainly A way to turn a double play.

    Everybody, take a breath. Let’s talk about the game and it’d be nice if we could go five minutes without hearing a complaint about the manager.

    Same. I never had anything against Sanchez personally, I just hated his player profile: all power, no contact, absolutely horrific behind the plate. He was not a guy I wanted on this team but the Twins sprinkled their magic catcher pixie dust on him, which I didn't think possible.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I hated Gary Sanchez being on this team and am very glad to be wrong about that. Sanchez is setting himself up for a nice little payday this winter.

    Baseball as a whole would be much better if there were several dozen players a lot more like Luis Arraez. Literally everything he does is wildly entertaining, including watching him just hop around in the box and say "no" to a pitch outside.

    Something to note is that sponsorships are coming to MLB uniforms and I suspect when that happens, teams will not be interested in listening to players who refuse to wear the sponsorship of a company they dislike. Which makes the Rays' decision the wrong one to make. If they'd make a different decision because money was involved, they shouldn't make a different decision here.

    Except ballgames are already littered with various aspects of religious stuff. They sing "God Bless America" in most parks, to my knowledge. A better comparison would be a Padres player refusing to wear camo on military celebration nights, which I've never heard happen and suspect many defending the Rays' players here would be outraged about. Just wear the uniform the team gives you that day. I don't think this should be controversial.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Players are also under contractual obligation to perform roles and they're paid handsomely to do it. This seems like a colossal screw-up on several levels, though. The Rays should have known well ahead of time how players were going to react to this and altered their approach to adapt. Either make the players wear the uni or don't play them that day. Do something to not make what should be a pretty low-key celebration into a sideshow. Inversely, it's pretty sad that so many won't acknowledge that gay people exist in this space and are not villains. They're just people doing their thing and deserve the respect and consideration to be open about who they are.

    Can we just skip the ASG this year and lock all 40 players in a bunker for four days?* *so they can all catch Covid, knowing how the Twins luck works
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Woof, that inning was painful.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, in no way am I suggesting the Twins are fine if they back into the postseason, only that getting there gives a decent chance to win or at least go deep. But improving the team at the deadline raises any team’s chances.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Good god.
