Why should it matter how much they paid Gonzales? If a player isn't producing, he shouldn't play more than the players who are. And if a .690 OPS is your goal for him this season, he definitely should not be an everyday third baseman.
I get needing to rest your main guys after the last two games, but Harper should have been able to pitch 2 innings there. He was cruising and hadn't been used much recently.
It seems like the weather is similar for many cities around the country this time of year. But fans are still braving the "cold" to attend those games.
Do people in the Twin Cities know baseball season has started? It looks there are about 500 people in the crowd, which is about what they've drawn the last two home games. Embarrassing...
Runners getting picked off at 2nd base, fielders booting the ball all over the place, hitters swinging at terrible pitches, starting pitchers who can't get past the 5th inning. This is just a bad team, all the way around.
I wish Sano would've played the full season with the Twins, because it would have been really cool to see how spectacularly he could have shattered the strikeout record.
Sano's collapse over the last year is absolutely incredible. To go from an All Star to one of the worst players in baseball that quickly.....it's hard to even find the right words.
