    alright the duffinator!

    i just tuned in and low and behold there's pagan giving away the game again. nice.

    it's hard to stay positive but i remain so. however, the managing of byron's work load is a problem. he's fragile and he plays hard so there's going to be issues and long term can the twins have a guy that, when in the line up is great but misses so much time out of it. he should be in this entire series. he should be in against all the games against plus .500 teams. period - unless he's actually hurt. at the very least at DH. the bullpen is a disaster. seven runs from the seventh inning onwards? come on.

    well... being second in the central won't be so bad...right?
  5. garn from vancouver
    oops.
  6. garn from vancouver
    and here comes the bullpen.

    bundy def. has had some great calls from the ump, i like it. he could use a few things to go his way. if i'd been asked who'd out of the game sooner bundy or cole i wouldn't have picked cole.

    miranda needs some acting lessons.

    i'm learning that you can't say anything regarding the players on the twins that aren't vaccinated. nice to know the censors are out in full force.

      We had quite a bit of say on it, from both sides, and it was unproductive bickering. So, enough was enough and it was time to get back to baseball

    wow. tough crowd.
  12. garn from vancouver
    and there it is.

    i was saying to my wife yesterday that june was going to be the real test for this team and now with injuries and such (the such being not playing byron enough and the other other being that he's not hitting the ball...) that we'll see them drop games in june and july and we'll see where they really stand. and here we go. and they're not even playing a plus .500 team in the tigers. june's gonna be a long month. (i'll be at target field at the end of the month so hopefully they have a good outing then...)

    i am one that is amongst others that are starting to wonder about all the days off for buxton and / or correa. i'm prone to injury as well but if i missed as many days or was given as maybe days off my co-workers would be getting tired of me. he's a great player but the team needs him in the field and at the plate. his average is awful right now. it's not going to get any better if you don't get the swings in.

    pagan has no idea where the strike zone is.
  16. garn from vancouver
    we need Tortuga. at least then there would be some fun mixed into all of this. we can't give correa a pass. we just can't. if i was performing as he is at my job, after getting a raise, i'd be fired. he's already looking to next year and where he'll be - it won't be here. i've seen the look on his face - it's of a man in touch with his inner talking heads - "how did i get here?" sure baldelli's job is to inspire but he's not at the plate swinging the bat. lay down a bunt, play some small ball, get men on base, move them along. mix it up. screw the sabermetrics. (at least for now) maybe get kevin goldstein down to talk to correa and say to him, 'come on man. just at least pretend you care. it'll all be over soon and you can move on'.

    "I think Astudillo would've been a much better fit as bench depth now that we have one poor hitting cather and a second poor fielding catcher at DH, and he's much more reliable for a tough at-bat as a pinch hitter. " yes. this. sano hitting .077 and correa at .177 come on. and sano's defense is awful. kepler should not be hitting clean-up on a men's league softball team at this point. the bargain basement trades have yielded the results most thought they would. if htye lose and it's a fun game i'm all for that - this is not that.
  18. garn from vancouver
    how about some wins over walk up songs
  19. garn from vancouver
    sending sano? really?
  20. garn from vancouver
    well, if joe hadn't cut his hair i'd would have given the advantage to him.
  21. garn from vancouver
    i don't know much but i do know i like larnach. and i like rogers...
  22. garn from vancouver
    it's not a ghost runner.
  23. garn from vancouver
    thanks for all the thoughtful responses. i can't wait to get to target field and see some live baseball - it may be the one thing that covid took away from me (seeing live games) that i missed the most. just sitting in a park watching a game. i do miss the small ball - bunts for singles, hits to where they ain't, etc. but still love baseball. when the big plays, the ricky plays, do come, it's all the more exciting now...though i wish it wasn't as rare. steal home - do it! see you at the park.
  24. garn from vancouver
    great player. pretty good cheater. one year deal. makes room for royce coming up.
  25. garn from vancouver
    i am curious whether or not sabermetrics is taking some of the fun out of baseball. actually, i'm pretty sure it is. i love baseball and have for as long as i can remember. i love going to the park, seeing games - have seen every team play at home, been to world series games, spring training - and think i know a fair bit about the game. in the past few years i have taken to trying to learn more about sabermetrics and how it affects the game. what to watch for, how to evaluate players beyond averages, etc. but i wonder if i am taking some of the fun away. are people that read, for instance, baseball prospectus or fangrapghs like a bible taking it too seriously? looking at it beyond a game? are they making it less fun for themselves or are they enhancing the experience? i, personally, like to know more and love a little education but don't want to have the higher education cloud my view of the game. thoughts ?
