    OK. Keep playing to win the regular season. Ask that young Seattle team that won 116 regular season games if they felt like they had a successful season and I guarantee you to a man they'll tell you they came up short
  2. Schmoeman5
    OK Take away the innings pitched. I'm referring to the caliber. And this is Verlander in 2022 not 2015
  3. Schmoeman5
    Case in point. When Verlander threw 7+ 1 hit innings. Because that's what your going to face nearly every game come playoff time.
  4. Schmoeman5
    OK. So translate those numbers to the playoffs. You do need to win during the regular season to reach the playoffs granted, but what are those numbers come playoff time when the pressure is ratcheted up. And that's a part of managing. Getting the team ready for that
  5. Schmoeman5
    OK. So he was manager of the year in 2019 when the Twins clobbered 300+ homers. That was the worst thing that could happen. They get to the playoffs and run into much better pitching and go out with a whimper. 2020, same thing in a Covid short season. 2021 the wheels fall off. If the Twins are such an analytical team and Baldelli is part of that, why isn't the emphasis more on OB% vs slugging. They have guys who simply can't or won't adapt to the shift so it's all or nothing. You have a high OBP and sprinkle in a homerun here and there and you'll score a lot more runs. Pitching is even worse. He gets 4 or 5 innings out of starters and then it's bullpen by committee. That's fine if you have 8 or 9 guys who are lights out every other day. So even though this isn't all on Baldelli, it's an organizational approach so the blame is all around. But there are in game moments where he leaves something to be desired. Especially close games. I don't think he's a bad manager, but I also don't think he's a real good one either. He tows the line that's drawn out for him.

    That he could hit .000 and still have significant value on defense. According to you defense is more important. When Lewis hit his grand salami your focus was on his 9th inning error and how he needs to go back down. That's my point
  7. Schmoeman5
    Defense is way more important according to your many posts in that regard
  8. Schmoeman5
    But he's a defensive stalwart
  9. Schmoeman5
    Congratulations to Dave the Dastardly on the book. That's awesome,just getting published is difficult

    When Byron Buxton was 1st called up he was immediately the best CF in baseball. But he WASNT nearly the hitter he is now. Relax
  11. Schmoeman5
    Cont. Harper Betts and Trout have all missed significant time in the past as well. NO way Buxton reaches any incentives. A very team friendly deal. Smart business, but frustrating for players and fans. Remember those guys with the 10 and 12 year contracts will still be paid handsomely even as their production falls due to age. Aren't the Mets still paying Bobby Bonilla
  12. Schmoeman5
    Is it possible that Buxton just wants to get out of Minnesota? Remember, he signed his new deal to the tune of roughly 15 million per. The Trouts, Betts Harpers are making double that. Although these guys have a better track record regarding health they have all missed si That's the reason why they don't tell you. They also don't post their lineup till 3 hours before game time. That way you still come and spend your hard earned dollar in the hope of seeing your favorite player
  13. Schmoeman5
    That was hilarious and shocking at the same time. You used the comparison with the Derby. Most thoroughbreds run 3/4 mile in 1min 12sec. That was crazy. He made the catcher go through the signs 3 times. Wow
  14. Schmoeman5
    Like the drink only spelt different John Coffey. I was thinking more along the line of Mr. Miagi
  15. Schmoeman5
    Except Alex Kirilloffs hitting coach is his dad
  16. Schmoeman5
    That was unfortunately a different era. Think of it more like politics instead of baseball. By spooning us just enough to keep us begging for more. I honestly don't believe it has anything to do with incentives. I believe he has discomfort and for now they're playing it safe because of past history
  17. Schmoeman5
    The Twins are saying that the surgery went fine and there's nothing else that can be done to remedy it. They acknowledge the pain aspect. The Kirilloff camp is suggesting a follow up procedure to widen the gap between the bones that are rubbing together.
  18. Schmoeman5
    I don't know. But just for comparison look at what's going on with Kirilloff. The Twins are saying 1 thing and the Kirilloff camp is saying something completely different.
  19. Schmoeman5
    I don't think Buxton or the Twins are worried about upsetting fans. Although perhaps they should. But whatever is going on they're not going to tell the fans anything close to the truth. So sit back and wait for Baldelli to post the lineup and then either sigh or cuss
  20. Schmoeman5
    You're right he wasn't brought up from AAA. He was brought up from AA and I guarantee you were roasting him. ?
  21. Schmoeman5
    Oh. So because he had 50 abs last year he doesn't fall into that category. Well if he keeps doing what he has been doing he's eligible for Rookie of the Year honors. Youre fumbling with verbage
  22. Schmoeman5
    2 hours later. Last week you were all over Celestino
  23. Schmoeman5
    There was no chance Buxton was hitting. He was still in his warm-ups in the dugout. I don't understand it either
  24. Schmoeman5
    Indeed
  25. Schmoeman5
    Well the Whitesox just sent Hendriks fo a 2 inning save and he blew it vs Yankees
