    I stepped out of character and bought tickets for game one. I hope the Twins schedule doesn't conflict too much with the Brewers game, I'd like to watch both.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, he certainly didn't adjust but there were confounding factors in there: he stopped hitting the ball as hard as often after the concussion, full stop. That was the biggest cause of his decline. Second, the Twins franchise at the time simply was not capable of steering anyone in the right direction, as they were as far behind the game as anyone. My god, look what they did to Hicks and then Buxton. It feels like there was a significant portion of post-concussion Joe Mauer performance left untapped by a franchise that didn't have the coaches to identify and fix holes the modern game was exploiting.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Out of the draft Mauer was projected to be a 15-ish homer guy by pretty much everybody, his swing was too flat to ever be a legitimate power hitter.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins haven't had a healthy(ish) team in October since 2004. It'd be nice to see it JUST ONCE.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Apparently Royce is walking around the clubhouse today, saying he feels great and better than he feared. Hopefully that continues.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Out of Correa, Buxton, and Lewis, Carlos is the only guy I'm confident will be back.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    I ****ing hate baseball.

    Oh, I completely agree, I'm only pointing out that Target's logo is one of the only sponsor designs that isn't eye-bleeding terrible.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep. Their logo is the reason the Loons' kit isn't insufferable and terrible.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    The obvious choice is Target because their logo is cool and super-minimal.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    That's why their rebuild failed. They had some elite talent and absolutely nothing behind it for depth.

    I have a head cold and had no idea Julien hit that homer with two runners on base until about 30 seconds ago.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    For sure. If everyone wants to play at 60% speed for the rest of the season, I'm fine with that.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Ryan Jeffers showing his athleticism on that slide.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Lewis has to absolutely destroy Henderson's rate numbers to overcome that plate appearance disparity, which he's not doing right now.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't give him any particular credit for 2019. I don't give managers much credit most of the time either way. I think their biggest influence is in the area we have the least visibility, clubhouse management.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Based on Cody's article here, "unknown time period but at least 2025".
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    If a team plans to keep a manager around, they often extend them before they can enter a lame duck season just to avoid potential drama and distractions. That's what appeared to happen with Baldelli. And while the Twins were disappointing in 2022, it's hard to pin much of that on Rocco. Having one of the worst injury records in baseball was the most obvious culprit, which is why the front office hired Paparesta.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    So you're saying that a team with a historically good offense doesn't platoon much because their hitters are exceptional.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    My point is that we don't know the reasoning why not to publicize the Rocco extension but it's pretty obvious the reasons why those teams did publicize their extensions. My general rule is that if I have, say, 5% of the information on a particular subject, I don't try to fill in the 95% I don't know because all I reveal is my own bias, not any kind of truth.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Congratulations, you just found four examples of teams that won the division and/or went to the World Series who rode positive vibes with a manager announcement.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins were coming off two disappointing seasons. There could be a dozen reasons why they didn't announce it right away. It could have been at Rocco's request. Given that this practice is pretty common in baseball, I think it's a bit of a reach to try to read tea leaves on this.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    This is quite common in baseball, actually. Because teams are under no obligation to report front office or management salaries or contracts, they often decline to do so.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Brujan is not having an awesome day.
