    I hear you. I think you should be able to download the app but I’m not going to talk too smart because it appeared for me on DirectTV stream automatically. My mother in law used to love the Twins but has Dish network which doesn’t carry the Twins App. I offered to set up the app in addition to her TV and when she found out it was another app, another account, and more money she just passed.

    Somehow they have constructed a lineup that is poor defensively and struggles to hit. That takes talent.

    The 69 Dodgers had elite pitching with Koufax, Drysdale, etc. Their hitting was horrible. Drysdale was on the injured list and wasnt with the team. He was told that Koufax threw a no hitter that day. His response: “Did we win?” Not sure why the Twins make me think of that story.

    I have DiirectTV stream and it is channel 668. If you have the sports package no extra charge.

    Get a son/daughter or niece/nephew to set it up. That’s what they are there for.

    My my our language leaves something to be desired.

    Nice start by Ryan. Full disclosure Ive never been a fan of Alcala and this is why: I don’t care how good your stuff is if you can throw it where you want it. i have to say the Cards are a fun team to watch. They put the ball in play and make some really great plays in the field. Stark contrast to the Twins.

    Love the powder blue uniforms as well.

    Great to see a minor league report. Also great to see some of the highest rated prospects in AAA

    I think he plays out his contract and retires especially if he has health issues. There is no ego in the man so he won’t keep playing for the limelight. I also think he will be a fine center fielder through the contract. People associate his defensive prowess to his speed and Thats certainly helps but just as important is that he gets great jumps and takes excellent routes to the ball. He also has excellent judgement - he knows when to dive and when to back off. I know this will not be a popular opinion but I bet he will be a better CF than EmRod or Jenkins.. If something is going to crater with Buck I thing it will be the bat. I worry that with his high hands and longish swing any significant reduction in bat speed is going to be a big problem.

    Agreed. The ump made a motion indicating the balk was due to hand movement. I didn’t see anything unless we are measuring in quantum physics or something. This is my issue with most officiating in all sports - if in doubt don’t call it. It was also interesting that the Cards sent two runners in much the same way. They must have picked up a tell in Pablo’s delivery.
  13. Linus
    It is because he is right at the point where it’s tempting to not let him walk but also risky to extend him for a lengthy contract, especially because he doesn’t hit so well you would DH him or move him to first.

    I re- read and see his age. My mistake.
  15. Linus
    Again any of these extension articles have to include the players age - it’s critical to the thought process. Comparing Raleigh and Jeffers is a joke - they are not at the same level at all. Given the Twins part time usage of catchers it seems silly to give one of them big money. I don’t mind Jeffers but he really is the definition of average. Pay him the next two years and move on.
  16. Linus
    Obviously not the start Pablo wanted. He gave up some hard hit balls but several hits were bleeders and bloops. His command definitely needs to get sharper but the stuff was there. More worried about the offense as it looked like second half last year. There were several exceptional defensive plays made - all by the Cards. Defense essentially won them the game.
  17. Linus
    I believe you already did 😀

    Has anybody noticed a difference in defensive proficiency today?
  19. Linus
    Laz Diaz is the new Angel Hernandez

    Lest we forget Sonny often struggles third time thru

    What is Miranda thinking?
  22. Linus
    Nice scoop
  23. Linus
    France appears to be a bit of a statue.
  24. Linus
    Pablo’s stuff seems ok but his location is not good. Las Diaz in mid season form

    What a horrible at bat by Miranda.
