  1. Stewart and Cave should be enough for a two month rental
  2. Amazing eye at the plate? Don’t think so but there are signs of improvement overall in the last month
  3. Playing SS at the MLB level ain’t easy. But it doesn’t mean you give up trying to find that guy
  4. The weak link in this article is that neither Falvey or Levine were the primary decision makers. We have no idea what their opinions were of the decisions.
  5. My point is that we don’t have to accept mediocrity in the field at SS. Get a strong defender at SS and let Polanco be the best all around second basemen in baseball because he would be elite at second base
  6. The risk / reward on that play is ominous. The reason you don’t do it is there frequently is “the perfect throw”. It gains you so little advantage you should never take that risk. People need to analyze this like a poker hand and it would never happen
  7. Since the other thread got locked for some reason Laudner is the worst color commentator I’ve heard. He has to be gone. Good news is that Smeltzer and Thorpe look like two potential effective lefties for the future
  8. Get ready for pucker time. The Twins lead will be down to 5 at the All Star break
  9. I don’t know if Syndegaard is the right guy but all prospects should be in play with the possible exception of Graterol and Balazovic
  10. I think I see signs of progress. He is laying off pitches out of the zone lately and his swing looks a little more compact. Similarly even though he had an o fer I thought Buxton had a good day at the plate. He didn’t chase at all - swung at nothing but strikes
  11. This. There has been some sloppy baseball played in the last month. It hasn’t cost them too much but it will. This is where I would love to know how Rocco handles this stuff behind the scenes. Is it always kumbaya or is he getting after guys for dumb/sloppy plays?
  12. Just have him watch Garver in bp and then get in the cage right after and imitate him. He’ll never get that short and quick to the ball but he will get better
  13. Let’s not gloss over two errors by Adrianza. That’s the ballgame
  14. No pressure Jose. All we need is 9 scoreless tonight. Seriously this is a big start - have to stay out of the pen
  15. Huh? Forfeit the game. You and Dick share the same paranoia about extra inning games
  16. He needs to mimic Garver or Kepler. He would hit a lot of homers and be a complete hitter. That have much more direct swings to the hitting zone
  17. I love it. No downside and potentially quite a bit of upside. He has struggled lately but reached a level few do so there is that
  18. I’m happy for Sano. I’m critical of him but want him to succeed. I’m sure this stretch hasn’t been fun so maybe the homer will allow him to relax a little
  19. It’s a league of adjustments. He threw a wrinkle at them with the cutter and got lots of chases. Now the league has seen it and aren’t chasing anymore. That and he isn’t locating as well as he was before
