    Why can’t we have nice things? Why do we have to make things so difficult?

    Death, taxes, and the Twins losing to the Yankees

    Hey Lopez. Maybe stop throwing in the top right corner for now. You have squat for control tonight.

    I don’t think anyone is complaining about the current defense. During the last 3 series (10 games total, excluding tonight) we have scored 3 or fewer runs in 8 of those games, and 2 or fewer in 4 games. In the games we lost, the average run difference was 2.5. I don’t see Hamilton saving 3 runs a game by himself while contributing next to nothing on offense.

    Rocco needs to remind Celestino and Leon that baseballs don’t hit themselves.

    Low risk move, but what does he add to the actual squad? We already have a speedy outfielder with great D that’s struggling to hit (and injured, again) and two others that are floating around the same batting average. If they add him to help platoon with Buxton and Kepler that’s fine I guess, I’m just concerned more about who would have to be sent down to make room on the roster for the moment.

    That stat on Buxton is losing its effect at least on offense. .1 additional runs a game is nothing. Apparently we are just as good on offense with him as we are without him. His difference making is in the field. Captain Obvious, out.
  10. HokieRif
    The way Kepler has been hitting lately he needs to lean in to that pitch and take his base.

    im not sure which is more shocking: the Twins scoring 9 runs, or Pagan pitching not one but two scoreless innings.
  12. HokieRif
    I just don’t get why Archer is allowed to have the mechanics he has. There is obviously a world of inconsistency in his delivery that no decent club would allow past single A ball. I understand what I’m about to say may sound rhetorical but is this really the best we can do?

    Hammered with zero f*cks given?

    Twins' bats innings 1-8 When the 9th inning rolls around after its too late

    If he stays, fine - but he better start playing like he's worth the money he's being paid. If he opts out - we still have a full compliment of a starting IF assuming Lewis is healthy (Miranda, Lewis, Polanco, Arraez). The money freed-up by a Correa departure gives the front office more to play with to overhaul the outfield, the entire pitching staff, and getting a DH that's worthy of the title.

    Its really, really hard to just say that the performance of these veteran players hasn't been impacted at all by the coaches. Is it THE ONLY problem? I doubt it. Is it a major contributing factor? Absolutely.

    This is something I was wondering about after I heard it happened (I didn’t see it live). Who’s responsibility is it to make sure the indication is received? Basic communications 101 tells me that both the sender and receiver need to be involved for proper communications. If the ump indicated there was a mound visit but didn’t get an acknowledgement in return, shouldn’t that mean the ump needs to send the message again?
  19. HokieRif
    So not only are we slumping offensively, but Rocco now apparently can’t count to two, and the highlight was not getting no-hit. Staying the obvious but we are trending in the absolute wrong direction.
  20. HokieRif
    I'm still very likely to tune in, but we've seen enough of a sample size to know what this team is. Cleveland is going to do little/just enough to keep this interesting, but I'm not even hopeful for a wild card spot at this point.
  21. HokieRif
    Somebody get Correa a trash can
  22. HokieRif
    How Popkins and Hernandez still have jobs is beyond me…

    Someone needs to be fired
