    As Kirby used to say “hanging breaking balls are a gift from god”

    We just saw the Buck effects

    Only a Luddite doesn’t like the contact play 😂

    Was just going to say Wallner looked tardy.

    Welcome back Cory. You were missed. Target Field looks beautiful today

    I think the reporting and fan base got way over their skis on this. This isn’t like selling a house where you no a qualified buyer is likely visiting soon. This transaction will be complicated and take a bunch of time and Thats is after a buyer is found willing to pay the Pohlads price. I don’t expect anything to happen soon so there really isn’t any point in writing or worrying about it until something substantial changes.

    This year is big for a bunch of guys including Miranda. All of Miranda Larnach Julien Martin Jeffers even Wallner and Lewis need to play well this year. Like Miranda they all have to hit because they are sub par fielders and slow runners (except Martin). It should be expected that several will take the next step and cement themselves as big leaguers and several will fall back and likely move on. Time will tell but we don’t know at this point. What is obvious is that Miranda better learn to control the strike zone in a hurry or he gone. One last thing: we can officially stop with the health excuses - the guy has been healthy for a while now.

    Buck on full display to start the game. Moonshot Homer followed by a great catch in the wind.
  9. Linus
    No there is not. He absolutely ruins a broadcast.
  10. Linus
    I cannot stand Attebery. He never shuts up and talks about nothing. Absolutely ruins the nuance of a ballgame
  11. Linus
    How about this for a theory: the Twins don’t have many good hitters. I also think I see hitters with too much information swirling around in their heads. The net effect is they are guess hitters which used to be a pejorative term.

    It would be so Twins like to finally have a SS prospect with upside in Winokur and not let him play there. None of those other guys have anywhere the ceiling Winokur has.
  13. Linus
    3 little league swings
  14. Linus
    Thats Sim - not efficient but gets the job done. Plus I like his socks.

    I think this is a good thread especially over the long haul. We tend to judge in a short term way and hopefully this will enable us to take a longer term look at the lineup, how it is constructed and what underlying principles are at play. I honestly feel it’s an area where Falvey has underperformed but I’m interested in what other posters think as well. Sometimes it’s easy to get so granular with analysis (because we now have such good data) that we neglect the global view. Out of a bit of momentary frustration I posted in a thread that the Twins had managed to compile a lineup that couldn’t score any runs but was also poor defensively and that it took special talent to do that. The comment was unnecessarily snarky but there is truth there in my opinion. How does that happen? What philosophies of the org contribute to that? Is it something that should or could be changed without a different FO?

    I understand the rules, they are minimal in my view. Apparently we disagree which is fine - enjoy the game tonight.
  17. Linus
    I am specifically referring to pitchers who are making league minimum or close to it. I am not worried about Dobnak - he’s got his money no matter where he pitches. The bigger issue for me is allows teams to have a 15 or more pitcher bullpen which directly evades the 13 pitcher limit. Bigger bullpens mean shorter starts, more three true outcomes etc etc
  18. Linus
    I’m talking league wide not Dobnak
  19. Linus
    How is that Paddack trade looking? Another Falvey special. I think the accountability net needs to be widened to include the FO and ownership.
  20. Linus
    I just posted about this in another thread. Something should be done - a minimum, stay, more big league pay etc. It’s one more element Thats keeps pens fresh so starters only have to go 5.
  21. Linus
    The guy has to stop swinging at everything or he will never make it. He has no plate discipline and pitchers know it.
  22. Linus
    This business of shuttling guys up for one outing and then sending them down the road should be stopped. Perhaps there needs to be a required minimum stay barring injury.
  23. Linus
    Buck and c4 might want to stop trying to pull every pitch on the outside corner.
  24. Linus
    What the hell was Miranda thinking?
  25. Linus
    So we’ve tried different hitting coaches and different philosophies. When do we determine that our hitters aren’t good?
