  1. That seems to have been said about darn near every rookie who finally crapped out, or was let go and replaced by another boy wonder rookie. 🤤
  2. We, all here, have no idea what the Twins Org. actually will or will not do, pessimism rules right now.
  3. They need veterans to assist/replace barely mediocre rookies. This is Wallner's season to show his is not another Jake Cave, and Lewis' season to show his earlier performance was simply Major League pitchers not adjusting to him as they did in the end of last season. Probably same for Miranda and Larnach.
  4. Wishful thinking, based on if, if, if and nothing more.
  5. With Farmer gone, Martin is the only player they have that would not be an embarrassment at 2nd Base. Martin at 2nd and Lee at 3rd should/might close 2 gaping holes in the infield.
  6. You meant Umbesetting: Umbeset is an archaic or dialectal verb that means to ostruct, block, or act detrimentally toward someone or something. It is primarily used in Scotland.
  7. Tou mean they are as good as the ones they might replace, so no one is forcing or blocking any thing.
  8. With all this moaning and groaning, what shows up next Spring Training should liven up this place greatly.
  9. History abstract: References to pitch framing: References to pitch framing date back to at least the 1950s. Brewers instruction manual: In 1982, the Brewers prepared an organizational instruction manual that advised catchers to catch possible strikes with "a minimum of body movement" and "very smooth hand action". Sabermetricians: Historically, sabermetricians were generally dubious about the existence and impact of pitch framing Pitch framing in the popular press: There has been an explosion of interest in pitch framing in the popular press, especially in the last few years.
  10. Vazquez had 4 errors, 2 double plays and 1 passed ball; Jeffers had 6 errors, 0 double plays and 3 passed balls. Defense counts At that, they both collapsed with the rest of the team, but Vazquez had a .245 BA in the last 30 games whereas Jeffers had a .227. Que sera, sera.
  11. Vazquez holds runners; they run at will on Jeffers. Jeffers and Vazquez below, Vazquez did drop from last year, still much better than Jeffers, try again.
  12. There is no amount of offense that can make up for Jeffers , run at will, defense.
  13. I would put Julien as not leaving AAA, and Lee coming up late if at all. Now players have roller-coaster careers, even if he later years is is a kiddie roller-coaster, but the WHOLE team last year at the end just collapsed, almost as if there were a jinx. Now when I was young the talk was: I wonder how well player x will do, or I Hope player x, y or z has a real good year. There was not beer farting about : OH ----- is getting old; these veterans are blocking young crapshoots.... What will be, will be and there is nothing any one here can do about it , except maybe prepare their May Whine.
  14. The Vikings might want to consider giving a phone call to the kicker they let go.
  15. I am still very wary, and not because of the post season losses, including the 4 Super Bowls; it is the last regular season game of 1969 when they lost to the Atlanta Falcons 3-10. Atlanta had total of 111 yard in the game and still beat the Viking's record setting defense. That will be omen to me till the Vikings win a Super Bowl.
  16. There will be a lot of astericks - season went from 12-14-16-17 games.
  17. His last years in Independant ball, he was 37-2 stealing bases in 91 games and 16-2 in 73 games. Not many dudes in their mid-forties can do that.
  18. A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL. Heavenly Father, love brought Jesus to the earth, and love brings us to this Christmas table. Today as we share this holiday feast, may we also share with one another a joyful heart and a warm smile. May our Christmas dinner be filled with kindness. And may the memories of today warm our hearts for years to come. MERRY CHRISTMAS every one.
  19. But he was RAKING in the minors with a .970 OPS!
  20. That is not running out of gas; except for a few fortunate home runs, he has never equalled the hype given him here.
  21. This was a FAR bigger problem than Margot: Lewis Though Margot's last 30 games was strictly downhill also.
