    Ironically if Max had been willing to play CF there would be reasons to bring him back. However Wallner and Larnach are better at this point and are playing for the minimum salary. Doubtful they will spend the money but Max leaving gives them a great opportunity to go get a good right handed hitting outfielder ( Austin Martin does not meet that criteria).

    He could. He did a great interview in his second language and he really knows his stuff.

    Loved seeing Miranda bust it right out of the box. Wouldn’t have made third without it. pablo López is one smart dude. When he hangs it up the Twins should just make him a pitching coach.

    An oft injured player trying not to get injured again. Or maybe an existing injury. Neither of us knows which brings this fun conversation full circle. Enjoy the game tonight.

    It was reported by Dan Hayes I believe.
  6. Linus
    Yep. He’s been told to protect himself. Neither of us know his physical condition so neither of us should present his physical status as fact.

    Hear hear. Some of the stuff that gets stated as fact amazes me. The latest is several are posting that Lewis is playing hurt. I have not read from one credible source this is the case. Rather somebody on TD posts it as fact and now many are repeating.

    If Kiriloff played for another team what would you give up to acquire him in trade?

    Put me in the camp that says managers aren’t as important as most people think. I also think Rocco has far less autonomy than prior managers. The FO has a certain way they want the games to be managed regardless if it’s Rocco or a new guy. There are things I really dislike about how games are managed but my guess is most of it is coming from the FO. I will say Rocco seems to run a good clubhouse in that we don’t read about strife and his clubs seem to bounce back after tough losses. On the flip side his teams are poor at fundamentals and that goes back to the beginning of his tenure. Again I don’t know how much of that is on him or the organization. I hate the idea that they just plug guys into spots as if they don’t care about defense. The early game pinch hitting is something that I disagree with but I believe that is being dictated by the FO. So I guess I’m saying there is a lot I disagree with but really have no idea who is actually responsible for it.

    I e been frustrated the last couple of years about the Twins poor fundamentals. I have stated that they give away a game a week due to poor fundamental play. Unbelievably it’s gotten worse in the last month.

    99 on the black.

    I would have let Henriquez go two.
  13. Linus
    I’ve missed these posts but now I have time to ketchup.

    Permit me to add on one more factor. If the Twins pinch hitting philosophy was more traditional this problem would largely go away because it would be one at bat late in the game. With the Twins philosophy the “I can only hit lefties” right handed bat ends up playing up to half the game.

    My original comment stated if he is on the MLB roster next year.
  16. Linus
    I’m willing to pencil in Wallner for RF next year. I’m not worried about the strikeouts as long as he obliterates the ball when making contact. You can’t have many guys with his profile but one or two is not a problem
  17. Linus
    Regardless of payroll the FO can easily do better than a will be 29 year old AAAA player. If they can’t they shouldn’t be in a MLB front office.
  18. Linus
    If Helman ends up on this roster next year the FO should be fired.
  19. Linus
    Man the Rays can produce good young players. I was worried that the young starters were going to be a problem. Not so - this lineup needs a re make in the off season. I’m so done with “positional flexibility “. They need to start finding positions that guys are actually good at.
  20. Linus
    The feast or famine offense is starving right now.
  21. Linus
    I am not a big Julien fan but the look of joy on his face after that hit was great. Happy he gets something good happening to him.
  22. Linus
    Oooooh that was Eddys pitch.
  23. Linus
    Castillos uniform looks um………..challenged
  24. Linus
    Geez the Rays have a better defensive SS than Cabellero?
  25. Linus
    Yep. If he comes out for another inning that will tell you he will be dfa tomorrow
