    Luis Arráez - 7-for-21 (.333) with a .391 on-base percentage. That's great and all that...but he has to play better defense. I'm worried about Sano's "defense" at 1B as well. Both have been in the middle of some bizarre-looking defensive plays. In a couple of years, if both have not settled into a "serviceable" form of defense - they will be traded or let go. For some reason, I have more faith in Sano raising his defense to a serviceable level than Arráez doing the same. But Sano's "mental lapses" with his hitting approach may get him in more trouble than his glove.

    That really is the secret to success in the MLB. Surround your minor league success stories with major league success stories. Guys like Donaldson and Cruz struggled early in their MLB careers before becoming all-stars. You have to let the young guys find their way like those two did. Some of the young guys will hit their stride early than others....but surrounded by 2 proven stars....the Twins can be patient. This is a Twins hitting line-up that will do damage in the playoffs. Make all the routine plays and hit the crap outta the ball. The Twins need to apply that same philosophy to their pitching staff. We need 2 or 3 more Clippards and we need something as close to a Verlander as possible. This town will back a well-paid-for-winner......if that COVID thing will ever go away. Easier said than done.....but until we do, we will not beat the likes of the Yankees.

    I thought Bremer said, "Sano was pretty quick for a big guy at 3B...is like saying a player runs well for a catcher". Implying he will do really well as a "quick" big guy at 1B. Could be wrong.... Sano's natural ability has never been the problem. We all know the problem. He needs to grow up and take his game seriously.

    Difference in the game - Homer kept his slop up....and the Cubs kept their slop down and away [fooling most of the Twins batters]. Rosario looks in mid-season form. Might need to move him up in the order and ride it for a bit. The lineup is so awesome on paper....don't want to miss any half inning of Twins hitting [no matter what part of the order is up]. For some reason, I did not mind the lack of a crowd [i thought I would]. Though, I was glad they piped in some crowd noise.

    Let's start examining Herbie, how about Harmon.....why not?? Washington and Jefferson have become fair game.... If the Twins think the symbolic message of tearing down a statue is espousing equality for all, they don't have a clue. The Twins have been accused of being a very white organization even through the Polhad's tenure. Look at the minor leagues and look in the stands. They are kissing ass and succumbing to the prevailing political pressure. All of corporate America is doing so.........it's good business.....that's all.

    If I want to read or talk politics....I go elsewhere. Get this crap out off this site!

    In my opinion, the most forgotten [underrated] player of the 1980s was Gary Ward. Glad you have him on your list. Gaetti forgotten or underrated?? Are you kidding....we all remember the Rat and his clutch play and big hits in the 1987 run. Shane Mack would be my pick as the most forgotten and underrated player of the 1990s. In the 1991 series he batted 5th....ahead of Hrbek and behind Chili Davis. A career .299 hitter with lots of athletic ability.

    I will watch. Holding my nose...if you will. If these spoiled over-paid brats [that I love to watch] go back to work ONLY because they have powerful entities supporting them [TV, MLBPA, etc...], and millions of non-essential scum can not work because of the lack of that kind of support. It is not only immoral......but bad PR for baseball. How about the essential workers that don't have sufficient PPEs?? Play ball and give it all to charity. Or sit down and spend your millions you already have in the bank. Just my advice....

    Well....at least Buxton didn't re-injure himself. That in itself is a miracle.

    Question -- Is Pineda down at Spring Training? If so...does he look good?
  15. FritzDahmus
    ....and wouldn't it been fun if the AAA team played in CHS field in St. Paul and not in Rochester, New York!!! Would love to wander down to St. Paul to check out what may be heading to the big club. Send the Saints back to Midway [is it still there??].

    Again....the disaster called the "playoff series with the Yankees".......was the fault of our thin bullpen and Pineda being suspended. Not our "top" 3 starters. Berrios handed the ball off in relatively decent condition in game 1. A Rookie then began the disaster. Odorizzi started a game when the series was basically over. He should have been the starter for game #2 in Yankee Stadium [a place he has pitched many times]. And the disaster was on.

    The only thing I can predict....is the Mets will be predicted to win the division AGAIN in 2021....and not do it....AGAIN.

    Build them billion dollar stadiums, pay them tens of millions to play ball, and networks rake in billions in AD $$$ -------------- and this is what you get. You get people "looking" the other way after obvious cheating. They don't even bother taking away awards or trophies. Different era....same reasons for cheating. The difference is they now have a Player's Union to tell them being "remorseful" is enough.

    Congrats to a great Player...and a very interesting listen from the booth. I am a little surprised to not see The Rat on the list. One of my favorites...and a very clutch player with an excellent glove.
  21. FritzDahmus
    For me, it's not about whether I like the DH or not.....it's about what I hate. I hate watching pitchers hit!
  22. FritzDahmus
    Here is a silly question. Why not, as a precaution, change the signs up for every batter [as they do when someone is on second]? If they can "feel" that the signs are being stolen....do something about it. I am not defending the sign stealing cheaters. Baseball has lots of problems....add one more.
  23. FritzDahmus
    Yes. .....and we don't yet know how widespread it is.
