    It would appear that Cruz has had an influence on Buxton. Too bad the other players do not have that kind of coach
  2. old nurse
    Sigh

    It is a 162 game season. That seems lost amongst the rants

    Varela has never been a hitting coach before, nor at this point likely to be poached for another job. Hernandez was not a hitting coach before he got the current position. He had been the assistant to Brunansky and Rowson yet not promoted after 6 years. That is telling his skill level. The Twins have people with a title.

    The Twins miss having a hitting coach

    They were who we thought they were, so no excuses

    I suspect you missed why I wouldn’t treat your comment as sarcasm

    Well you got one thing correct as it was a 60 game season las year. Really damn hard to play in 130 games last year. Tampa maxed out at 80 if you include the playoffs.

    Graver is not the only one in a post 2019 funk. They miss Rowson.

    Does anyone really want to see playoff losses? Your earlier comment was what it was. By your own comment last season does not count. So now you want to get rid of a manager because of one playoff series. I could say that is a tough crowd, but it is not even close to what I think of that thinking

    Now Balldelli is responsible for Gardenhire’s teams, too. Amazing. If what happened last year does not count by your logic what has happened so far this year is equally meaningless. What people see is what they want to see

    The FO had an idea he could. https://www.mlb.com/news/twins-no-74-pick-akil-baddoo-agree-to-deal-c184202598 They took a chance on roster flexibility and lost a player, The true nonsense of this thread is thinking he will continue to hit this way. I liked the Cael Crawford comp. His OPS was .781 for the Rays. He became a handsomely paid mediocre player. Eddie Rosario with the same OPS did not.

    2 years managing, 2 division titles. One bad week and Baldelli is an idiot. The Twins are a flawed team. So isn’t pretty much every other team. Waddell did nothing today to cause the Twins to lose a game People can rant, they come across as sounding like Fran Drescher

    For the time period of 2011 to 2019 there was in total as many complete games as there were most years before 1985. Every fourth day and 9 innings was the goal, not every fifth with an occasional extra day of rest and twice through the batting order
  15. old nurse
    There was a time when low 90 was a fast fastball. Sinkers that got groundouts or singles became a home run trot

    You can trade for superior talent with your mediocre prospects. The superior talent though has a price tag the other team doesn’t want to pay, see Miami.

    Bluegill Hughes looked All Star Cy Young in May of 75 Chris Parmelee looked great in September 2011 Revisit this in a month or two. History does repeat itself
  18. old nurse
    Such fond memories people have of Kyle Cody’s time with the Twins
  19. old nurse
    Buxton has had one healthy season If he has 2 in a row he might get the big contract
  20. old nurse
    Does the health of Berrios’ arm follow that of Sale, Santana, and so many others or Verlander and so few others?
  21. old nurse
    So long of season, so few games to make judgements on
  22. old nurse
    Evans had only one season as a 40 hr guy and one season in his 30’s. Yastremski lost his power long before 40. Fisk had one season of 30 plus HR for a career, Musial quit being a HR guy by 37. Comparing them to Cruz is pointless. Bonds wrecked a knee at 40 and wasn’t the same player coming back. The lack of context in the comparison is appalling
  23. old nurse
    Mack couldn’t beat out a hall of fame player in San Diego
  24. old nurse
    I thought I read that many teams will use 6 man rotations. Perhaps there is some Washington Senators fan from the 90s who can remember a team using less than 5 starting pitchers
  25. old nurse
    Regardless of probability he team would be incredibly foolish not to have a solid backup plan for Buxton and Donaldson. A simple look at the player’s recent history would tell a team that. There have been 2 catchers of starting caliber long before the informatics people. Plan B,C,D and E for starting pitchers. They hope no never have to go to “Oh eff “ or Pedro Hernandez. AAAA outfielders keep a job because of potential need. Probability of injury is nice, the preparedness for it is there regardless
