    I type slow.

    This would be a good time for Correa to do something. France!

    Just a quick look at the 40 man would require an additional move for anything but Emma. I bet they aren't ready for Emma either. Lewis to 60 day or a tough decision on Canterino.

    We get to see the max defense outfield alignment I guess.

    See, even when we hustle we get it wrong!

    Top scribes?

    I don't necessarily disagree with this premise but its not the driving fault right now. What we are seeing is not a talent problem. If the roster was performing to anything near career norms and playing this poorly, we can have that discussion. Being at roughly 10% full strength for whatever reason overrides any roster construction nibbling. There isn't a single dollar that could be spent that fixes whatever is wrong right now-it's mental, and maybe not organic. One of my strongest held leadership tenets is that when we leave the room with a plan-we are all rowing the same direction, trying to make the plan work. Especially the folks that advocated a different plan. We can then adjust the plan based on accurate feedback. If we don't try to execute to the plan, we don't know if the failure was the plan or the execution. The beauty is, that if everyone is trying to execute the plan, every plan works. When you have what I believe we are seeing with the Twins-no plan works. No roster construction matters. The lever Rocco needs is one he needs to create. That's what leadership is.

    The thing that bothers me most is there is no urgency, no reaction, no anger, no outward sense of any individual pushing against the malaise. It does not matter what the circumstances are, this is the group they have. You are putting this crap on tape and had this crap been on your tape coming up you wouldn't be here. Somebody do something. Somebody maximize their talent. I need to hear about something getting broken in the clubhouse. The kinder gentler "lever" of at bats is what got us here. I'm the first to make the excuse that we have no idea what's going on behind closed doors and I still will here. But whatever it is, it's obviously not working.

    They’ve talked in the past that Correa is the designated cut guy regardless of who else is on the field. He’s been the cut on the right field line because of the arm. It makes sense and their cut rotations are different because of it. No idea if it’s still this way with his feet but on an easy one like that he needs to be receiving the throw. He took a pop up at deep second from Castro in this game. No idea what play was on so no telling what the actual screw up was but it certainly fits in with everything else little league. Nobody says anything if Willie doesn’t randomly peg the guy on second though.

    Both catchers get tagged not minding the throwing hand in one week.
  11. Jocko87
    TV commentary just laughing, no help. I would assume that Correa is the cut guy there with the arm and Castro would cover but never both of them.
  12. Jocko87
    What the actual hell was that Willie?
  13. Jocko87
    Oddly enough, it's the same mindset that tends to do the little things correctly.

    https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6276167/2025/04/14/mlb-managers-job-status-change/ 9 MLB managers whose job status could be in question by the end of the season Then this just this morning from Ken Rosenthal. Rocco is the top of the list. Oddly enough, there are others on the list that would look great in other places and the mix might work great. Everyone rotate!

    In a fun with numbers type twist, did you know Bruce Bochy is under .500 for his managerial career? It's a fickle mix.
  16. Jocko87
    Ok, but hear me out. How about 95?
  17. Jocko87
    Spoiler, Rory just teed off.
  18. Jocko87
    It worked once, but I don’t think 93 down the middle continues to work against Riley Greene.
  19. Jocko87
    Is high A Ivy.
  20. Jocko87
    This is the actual answer. Commit and go. Part of that learning about baserunning thing we been talking about.
  21. Jocko87
    What did he do?
  22. Jocko87
    To be fair, you could say that about any given topic.

    Reading the article makes me wonder if in the past Larnach just coasts into second and watches the throw for it to get away but pushing the pace got him into a bad or less familiar position. I kinda doubt it though because it feels like a scouting win, they knew something to make that throw. Especially with slow Correa going home. With Lugo already at 30 something pitches it made the difference between getting a starter out of the game or letting him recover. It will matter. Vazquez has no excuse, he does that bouncing thing like he’s Prime Deion Sanders all the time and got caught. That’s definitely a scouting win. Still plenty of work to do but the general direction is correct. Baseball is not a game of hustle, it’s a game of being in the right place at the right time which sometimes requires extreme hustle. It’s not going to happen overnight.

    Good win. Not great, still some things to clean up, but well needed.

    Somebody please make me a gif we can use for Bader catching a routine fly ball.
