    Good comeback. Springer had a country mile worth of home runs - they were crushed. That baserunning, man these guys are bad.
  2. Linus
    They have (mostly) a bunch of plodders who don’t even understand the most basic risk / reward dynamics on the bases. What could possibly go wrong? How about teaching these guys fundamentals of baserunning before we turn them loose?
  3. Linus
    So three hits including a homer with a caught stealing? Gasper has matched Vaskeys production already.
  4. Linus
    Just horrible baserunning. Wallner is a bad baserunners as well. He’s fast asleep on the pass ball and doesn’t even know how to slide properly. This club is a complete mess.
  5. Linus
    Martin is brain dead. He has made a seasons worth of bad baserunning in the last two weeks.
  6. Linus
    The White Sox actually have some promising young players. I would trade lineups with them.
  7. Linus
    Denard just enlightened us by saying Bradley needs a quick inning. You don’t get that kind of analysis just anywhere.
  8. Linus
    Keaschalls arm is starting to worry me. On the other hand it might be better than Bradley’s.
  9. Linus
    Man Bradley has no idea where his pitches are going. First time watching him and I’m not impressed.
  10. Linus
    We seem to collect pitchers that can’t throw it where they need to. Denard Span is a nice person but is really not a good analyst.
  11. Linus
    How is the new aggressive baserunning philosophy working for us?
  12. Linus
    Really nice play by Lee. His arm looked strong on that throw.
  13. Linus
    Because if they trade Pablo the Twins could make $30-50 million next year and they would get their proportion.
  14. Linus
    I think there is a better chance than not that this happens. It will be difficult to be a playoff team next year with a stagnant lineup and no bullpen. Then a lockout in 2027 means 2028 is the first year we will compete. Anyone who won’t be here then might as well be traded. All the extra payroll saved will pay the bills during the lockout. It could work if they do a good job on the trades. Of course if they don’t then we will be lost in the desert for a while. Please don’t take this post as me endorsing this idea rather what I think they are likely to do.

    Starting with Austin Martin who is descending into Celestino territory for baserunning blunders.
  16. Linus
    Great scoop by Keaschall- Thats was a bullet. That throw is worrisome.
  17. Linus
    Funderburk is afraid to throw strikes. He knows his stuff is marginal.
  18. Linus
    The Twins are a clown show on the bases. With two outs what the hell is he thinking?
  19. Linus
    He’s got a funky little move with his throwing hand prior to release sometimes - like his hand slides under the ball and the ball sails. I hope his arm is still recovering because if this is it we’ve got a problem.
  20. Linus
    Agree. The defense wouldn’t be great but sufficient if they turn into above average hitters. Will be interesting to see what happens. I like that they are both going to get an extended run so we can let their play decide. I do think the chance that both end up as plus hitters is less than 50%.
  21. Linus
    And after their TV deal is stabilized / enhanced. I don’t know this is the exact scenario but anyone that dismisses it is naive.
  22. Linus
    Will be interesting to see if he gets exclusive run at SS there as they have DeBarge Winokur and DeAndrade all having played some SS.
  23. Linus
    At least we are going to find out. Both have to hit better or this question answers itself. I will say that Royce looks better in the field this year. Lee is a funny one - he looks most comfortable at SS but his range will prevent him from being anything but slightly below average. He is surehanded but looks less comfortable at 3rd and 2nd where he could be acceptable and in theory should be easier. Definitely hoping Culpepper can be the answer.
  24. Linus
    The Nasty Boys.

    Seeing all these fancy sunglasses makes me miss the old flip down shades. Yes I’m old.
