    Yes and very few make it to the bigs and a tiny protion are above league average. All bring up so and so because he will make the team better, seems to be based on posters looking at them like a father figure: My new boy is better than the your old boy.

    Think Wallner will pitch?
  3. RpR
    Polanco, Kepler hit home runs; after that all down hill, badly.

    I do not think Keuchel is the only pitching problem.

    Another dribbler to short, good grief!
  6. RpR
    Twins keep hitting dribblers to the short stop, isn't that what Keuchel was supposed to do?
  7. RpR
    Right now Keuchel ahead of Winder 6-3

    Sad but very, very true.

    Time to bring in PAGAN!

    I am sad, the Caveman is not in the Philly line-up. He and another AAA dude won the game for them a week or so ago.

    We''re gonna win Twins, we'er gonna score, knock out a home run and watch that baseball soar....

    Only if the one he is throwing to does not have to move to catch the ball; time will tell, if not this year, next spring.

    Actually no, UNLESS, they are with the Twins org., THEN, they have inside info that what goes on , is a true consternation to them. When I landscaped, I would have owners or arm chair landscapers come up to me and say: "Heck, all you gotta do is...." so many times, I wanted to hand them a shovel and say, "SHOW ME".

    Disregarding the wailing, moaning and gnashing of teeth by some who know more about baseball than those whose occupation it is, the Twins will win tonight. Joey, Joey your my man, if you can't do it Garlick can.

    So you are saying Saint fans are laut drunks?
  16. RpR
    Well, they both draw walks .

    Bottm line, owners are there to make money, losing teams do not make money. Saints are no different than the Pohlads and Twins.

    The Twins now have a minority ownership stake in the Saints, Does Winning Matter? Fans and front offices alike have long questioned whether winning at the minor league level has any effect on a player’s career and have failed to come to a consensus. Some say that winning in the minors is just for pride’s sake and causes no tangible change. Others insist that winning is enormously important. Josh Norris explored this very topic a little more than a year ago and heard some really intriguing feedback. We polled several front office members for their thoughts and received answers ranging from “no significant impact” to “winning definitely matters”. Yet despite the disagreement, one thing everyone mentioned was that the role of the minor leagues is a tricky balance between player development and winning. A baseball operations analyst with an AL team said: “You’ll get a lot of different answers. I think that it does (matter), especially at the higher levels. The difficulty is, a lot of successful Double-A or Triple-A teams aren’t always prospect laden. A lot of Quad-A types populate winning high-minors clubs. So not over-prioritizing winning at the expense of having youth at those levels, even if they struggle a little, is the balance.” https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/quantifying-the-effects-of-winning-in-the-minor-leagues-on-player-development/

    To you.
  20. RpR
    Only to you. Gents running the Saints want to win just as much as the gents running the Twins, so best players play where they play and Larnach isn't it.

    Detroits's pitcher,, without the long hair,, looks young enough he would have fit right in to the movie Sandlot!
  22. RpR
    FHS, Correa watchs a strkie go by and swings at crap.
  23. RpR
    Looks like the pitchers have figured Julien out and the bloom is off of his rose.
  24. RpR
    When the catcher sets-up way outside the batters box, doesn't the batter know that the pitch tisn''t going to be any where near the strike zone?
  25. RpR
    Better first base skills?
