    Yea I was scratching my head on that one too. You score 6 runs and lose but he is talking about poor at bats. Maybe he doesn’t want to pile on his horse bleep pitching staff.
  2. Linus
    Detroit proved that fielding matters. I’m confused why Duran would pitch to the bottom of the order in the bottom of the ninth with a four run lead. Unless they were ok with using him two days in a row.
  3. Linus
    Hard pass. The Angels would have to eat most of the salary and even then I wouldn’t give up much prospect capital.
  4. Linus
    Nope. Nice try.
  5. Linus
    Ouch. Not sure that makes this better.
  6. Linus
    Tell me where I said he was too old?
  7. Linus
    He appears to be a promising hitter so that’s great. Hardly anybody drafted as a SS sticks there to the majors. If there are questions about your ability to stay there when you are drafted and you are a 40 runner then you end up at 2nd or 3rd which is fine but that is the deepest part of the org.
  8. Linus
    Wow. Show me where I said he was washed up? 21 years old is not young on the prospect scale when you have played zero professional baseball. Doesn’t mean he can’t make it.
  9. Linus
    How does a 40 runner stick at short? That’s Polanco territory.
  10. Linus
    Meh. He’s already 21 and most scouts say he won’t stick at short. I know you don’t draft for need in baseball but he is already 3-4 years older than some guys. That means he joins a pile of good Twins prospects at 2nd and 3 rd. He better hit a crap ton and the Twins better start trading some of these guys.
  11. Linus
    Didn’t see the game. Did we finally play a clean game?
  12. Linus
    I think this is the proper path. Get quality help that is more than a rental. Solve a problem for good otherwise we are playing this same game next year. I really disagree with the notion that you can’t invest in relievers because they are too volatile. The samples are smaller so you will experience some swings but to avoid any pitcher with potential is the strategy that is playing out in front of our eyes.
  13. Linus
    Nice to get the win but here it is again…….more sloppy baseball. Jeffers runs into a tag double play that kills a potential big inning. That is something that you are coached to avoid in Legion ball. The Twins make at least one bonehead play every game. Rocco at least noted before the game that one of the goals for the day was to play a clean game. I guess he is aware of it anyway.
  14. Linus
    How do you know what he is capable of? The Sano comparison is ridiculous. There is more to baseball than hitting. He’s streaky we all know it. Maybe appreciate what he is doing instead of comparing him to some unrealistic set of criteria you have arbitrarily decided upon.
  15. Linus
    Couple of things. If we have to evaluate the prospects only at the time of the trade then you can only evaluate Berrios at the time of the trade. You don’t get to have both sides of the coin. The trade isn’t even the point. Falvine didn’t want Martin and SWR instead of Berrios, they didn’t want to give Berrios $120 million. And that might turn out to be very shrewd.
  16. Linus
    I don’t think it’s any revelation that Buck is a streaky hitter. There was a stat posted during tonight’s game about his ranking in the last 100 games for extra base hits. He’s in the top 5 in a bunch of categories. Oh and he is the best CF in baseball. I guess we might want to reassess what our expectations are.
  17. Linus
    He walks a lot of people and gives up a lot of homers. That is a bad combo…..
  18. Linus
    More sloppy baseball which I believe I have posted about 4 times in the last two weeks. I am not as critical of Rocco’s bullpen moves as most posters but the Twins play really sloppy baseball and ultimately that falls on the manager.
  19. Linus
    Winder and Canterino are likely on an innings limit due to injury history so I see no downside to letting them get their 80 innings in the pen as long relievers they still can prepare for starting going in to next spring.
  20. Linus
    More sloppy baseball. The Twins have to clean it up if they are going to beat good teams when it counts.
  21. Linus
    More sloppy baseball. The lost fly ball ends up costing them a chance to win the game. This crap is happening way too frequently.
  22. Linus
    Here is my ranking: 1, Duran
  23. Linus
    I respectfully disagree with the idea he is good at blocking balls. If they are in front of him yes but he has no lateral movement due to his stance. Anything lateral and he is poor.
  24. Linus
    How do we know that Jeffers had anything to do with it being called a strike? The box the umps get graded on is not the same as TV or MLB game day. Maybe the ump made a bad call and it had nothing to do with Jeffers framing. I’m not saying that the way catchers receive the ball doesn’t matter but when people quantify it so precisely it’s just BS. There isn’t a way to know for sure.
  25. Linus
    I like his bat but he surely is a member of the anvil chorus. If the Twins think this is what he is with the glove I would trade him. If they feel he has the ability to improve at third I would hang onto him but get him to St Paul so he can work on his fielding and be ready to start at 3 rd next year.
