    Yeah. He thought of Baldy, but the PR people didn't like it

    So many Minnesota teams games, so many examples!

    Positive win. Happ was great and the team needed it. But what made me laugh was Astudillo trying to steal an out of that foul ball.

    The Timberwolves are just bad. But the goal here is maximum disappointment. That is what our guys are for. Example, having the game won with just an easy field goal, and throw an interception instead (remember New Orleans?). Winning 2-0 shocking the Seattle Sounders and then losing 2-3 in injury time (the Loons). Tease as with the Home Run record only to fail miserably once the play-off starts. That is what our guys go for.

    I don't have the courage to see this on TV.

    Hey, you can't have it all, can you?

    Oh boy!. Riddle was in the game and in the dugout yesterday. Who else is going to catch it tomorrow?

    Yeah! I saw why they said that Rooker defense is not so good. Not quite Delmon level or Doumit level, but getting there

    I see in the comments a narrative that the manager is too relaxed, too nice, etc. Maybe some of the commenters know Rocco personally to say that with authority. But careful, sometimes something showing calm demeanor in public does not say anything about how is he in the clubhouse, how competitive he is, etc. Yes, the hitting is awful right now, and if it doesn't improve soon, this season is in trouble. But I don't think is gonna get fixed screaming in the clubhouse or in public. Now, some now help on the hitting coaching side? That may help.

    I am not going to research it, too lazy to do that, but I wonder if there ara data on injuries with regular rest, vs, playing continuosly. I know it is a topic that has been studied for pitchers, I am not aware of anything for field players

    I was agreeing with the article all the alarming comings until I saw the date at the bottom of my computer screen: 4/14/21. Not the middle of April yet to say anything

    Do they get any extra today with the double header?

    He is an equal-opportunity destroyer

    After a short drive (2 1/2 hs, not much) you can go and see the Paul Bunyon statue in Brainard.

    And then Gameday showed 2 #3 pitches to Cabrera. I thought throwing 2 baseballs at the same time was illegal.

    Does Garlick have options? Because it seems to me that if he doesn't then it is easy to give him the first chance, and if it doesn't work, you have Rooker. If you do it in reverse order, you lose Garlick without even a try.

    Another variable with the White Sox is the Larussa experiment. How is this going to end up? With the Twins we already know how he works with the players he has (Well, in general)

    I am sure that a lot more things are going to go into the decision than a batting or slugging average in a handful of spring training games. I guess they will be looking at all the things he must have been working with his coaches before deciding, and balance in the line up as well

    Regarding Astudillo, I commented the other day kind of tongue in cheek that he drew a walk. But in today's at bat he seemed more patient that I had ever seen him. He waited for his pitch and didn't waisted it. Maybe he got the message? We'll see..

    Beyond the 3 run homer, Gameday shows Duffey fastball barely at 90. Is that because of spring training or is sign of trouble?
  21. adjacent
    And they missed the most important thing: Astudillo walked!!
  22. adjacent
    Something tells me that for Sparkman and Shepherd, this spring training game will matter.

    I agree with you but in one thing: The one that gives and approves work visas is the US government, not the foreign country government. In some specific cases, a No objection from the foreign government is required. I don't know in the case of baseball players. but the primary responsability is of the US government. Which, for all the discussions about immigration that there is, something is very seldom mentioned: the bureacracy to process immigration is woefully inadequate. Sometimes processing that should take days take months or even years. Fixing this, whatever you think of how immigration should be handled, should be a priority.

    That wouldn't be very smart since the country itself has nothing to do. It's all on the US consul (or the US delegation as a whole) in that country, And also, the fact that Simmons was signed just before spring training. You can't start the immigration paperwork for an employee before the contratc is signed.

    As it was stated in another thread, work visas are initiated by the employer, and have to be approved by the US consul in the foreign country. Other than show up at his appointment, there is little that the player can do.
