    Falvey traded for hitters that hit under .200. Do not despair. .200 is within reach. .200 is the new .300. We already have Lee and Lewis and Wallner and Julien and Clemens even over .200.
  2. h2oface
    Definitely. Whatever it takes. We need more sub .200 bats in the lineup. Makes it more exciting when the team occasionally wins a game with hitters in the .100s Falvey must think fans are stupid. Very respectful.

    Is 24-26 young? Still learning? Making mental mistakes? Need developed still? If they haven’t figured the mental part out by now, what was all that baseball about all those 10 to 15 or more years for?

    But yet it is used to grade the umpires, and overturn calls. Hmmmmm. How does that compute with your claims that have no backing? It is better. It is a tool. Not a robot, just as my thermostat that measures temperature better than my guesses is not a robot. Always use the best method available without delay, I hope. At least try to get it "righter". Most fans certainly want the right calls. I don't like bad calls, regardless of whether it helps my team. I want the humans.... the players.... to decide the games, not the umpires.

    For all the easy strikes calls he takes when he is batting, it seems he could use some work.
  6. h2oface
    I guess they have to do it in steps for all the amateur umpire fans and folks that think umpires and not players are the human element of the game and get all butt hurt about a better tool. But just use it for every call and post it immediately for all to see on the scoreboard. Stop being so slow. Just do it. The sooner the better. Then catchers can pay attention to real skills, like throwing the runners out and less wild pitches and passed balls because they are focused on catching the pitch instead of trying to make it something it isn’t.

    Martin’s mind seems to perpetually be on vacation. Skills seem there, athleticism, plate awareness……. but he is 26 and still playing dumb, making horrible decisions repeatedly. He has a hero complex. At least he hits.
  8. h2oface
    Absolutely. Pennant races and playoffs suck. Winning is over rated. Watching good baseball is boring. This is definitely the best time to be a Twins fan. Errors and dumb base running and .100s batting averages. The best of times.

    Japan and Korea are calling.

    What was the point of even pitching Ryan for a few more days? It’s not the playoffs or a race for a spot. No reason at all. Stupid. Give him a couple more days. Buxton is crazy to stick around this mess.
  11. h2oface
    So they think Lee can play shortstop. Right. Lee and Lewis. Settling into being underachieving high first rounders. Was it 5th and 1st overall?
  12. h2oface
    Harry Dean Stanton wins that pic. A fine singer, as well.

    When I was a kid, I thought it stood for Top Cat for a while.
  14. h2oface
    Was I talking to you? Don’t think so. What a child these days. I guess I wasn’t the only one.
  15. h2oface
    Not true Charlie Sheen changed his name from Carlos Estevez. The Royals’ pitcher is not a sibling or son of Martin, and do not share mothers.
  16. h2oface
    Gasper: 11 hits 9 RBI
  17. h2oface
    Unfortunate. I didn’t say that or comment at all about that. You said it. Is that what you are thinking?
  18. h2oface
    Buxton is getting hits like Wallner’s. Inconsequential. A lead off triple and double. Nobody can drive him in. The other 3 at bats, horrible Ks. One with 2 runners on. Swinging at crap that isn’t even close. But this whole leftover bunch….. I am amazed they even win a few. I feel sorry for Buxton and Ryan and Keaschall. This is like watching a minor league team.
  19. h2oface
    Could have used Phil Cuzzi on the left field line tonight.
  20. h2oface
    I would have called a double steal. Gotta love that power bench.
  21. h2oface
    Disgusting is the norm.
  22. h2oface
    If Buxton could only ever stop swinging at sliders/sweepers so far outside, he might really be a superstar. It is so ingrained in his play. He just can’t stop. He must.know by now that is what he is gonna get.
  23. h2oface
    It was the 3rd of September……
  24. h2oface
    2-13 (true to combined averages - .154 for the day), 2 singles, 2 of the total of 3 runs scored, and 2 RBI in a 12-3 loss. Yup. Worth the late inning anticipation for sure. I’m right with you.
  25. h2oface
    I’m excited for the late inning replacements. Too bad Alan Roden is hurt. He would fit right in. The future.
