    Oh, on that I agree with you. We may never know the name of the unsong hero,

    Most likely, it is team work. The coaches identify a number of points that they want to know more about. The analytics guys figure out how to get the data the coaches want and then provide the data. With those data, they go to the biomechanics guys about the best ways to correct want they want to correct, and then back to the player to suggest the changes. But the player is not a robot, is a human being, so he has to understand and then be willing to implement the changes. It is a lot of links, that is why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

    It depends on how you define "lately"

    You know, 2 starts ago he threw 114 pitches. I remember thinking "I hope we don't regret this". When he threw normally in the last start I sighted with relief. Too soon...

    I am really sorry for Latroy Hawkins when the bullpen phone rings. He seems like a nice guy

    Please tell me who in that bullpen you can play when it matters...

    To tell the truth "the best of our bullpen" are the same guys that pitched in the games out of hand when we had a good bullpen. So they are not really good, and we know it. But they are who we have.

    Like they say in car races, Culpepper is becoming bigger in his rear view mirror...

    As part of my lent sacrifice, I watched most of the game last night. Our infield defense was really bad. It did not help Ryan at all.

    The new direction needed is a new owner, not an owner that makes the job impossible

    The most likely reason for me is that the Rockies wanted Ohl and not Adams.

    Kody Clemens is the LEFTY Kyle Garlick. Like Garlic and onions, you know...

    Welcome Derek Shelton! Did you think that managing the Pirates was tough? Try this one.

    I read the article and all the comments. But I did not find any information on how Jenkins and/or Rodriguez rate as CF. And I think that is an important piece of information when deciding if can replace Buck. I don't have that info, and I've never seen they play live. Does anybody have info about that?

    Have you been watching what happens in the field lately? Keep talking Audra, please

    I think with all due respect, that your point of view is a little bit simplistic. When there is uncertainty from the top, in any organization, not only in sports, everybody start to act accordingly, from Falvey to the manager to the players. Nobody really knows what is the plan. And almost everybody underperforms. Finally, Falvey must have said, well, you wanna save money?, save money and we are done with it. But this is not gonna be fixed until they sell the team.

    Probably the offices on some of the many Pohlad's businesses, not the Twins

    I think in this case it makes sense because their best left-handed hitters start the game 1st and 3rd in the order. So you want them to face your best lefty. NOw, in general the concept not always work,

    Their problem

    When you trade a pitcher, you trade from your own depth. I am not sure the Twins have that depth right now. Yes, they probably have 5 starters Lopez, Ryan, Woods Richardson, Ober, Festa. two in excess, Paddack, Matthews. Then the injuries start to pile up and you have to start promoting prospects, be they ready or not..

    Basically, I don't disagree with you. I would add that the subject of ownership of Sport franchises valued in billions of dollars is in itself a political discussion (even in the best sense of political) Because it affects directly the community where the franchise is situated, way beyond the score of a particular game

    But it is implied. Although I wouldn't blame Powell specifically for it. The common medicine to bring down inflation is to increase the cost of money by increasing interest rates, which is what Powell did. Sure, that means that it will be harder for anybody to get money to spend, and as always, the lower you are in the economic totem pole, the harder it is. Actually Powell did apply this medicine with quite success, because inflation lowered without causing a recession.

    I did some simple math: 44 million, corrected for inflation (assuming 3% a year, some years it was more, but many years was less, so that would not be that off) would be approximately 143 million in today's dollars. If they sell in $1.5 B that sounds not too bad as an investment, does it?

    P for Pohlad
