    Facts not in evidence 😀

    As disappointing as this season has been where would we be without SWR. Looks like we have a solid back of the rotation guy for several years.

    That whole play was a living breathing example of poor fundamentals. First off Jeffers jabbed at the ball with the bat when anybody that has played baseball has been taught that a proper bunt is almost catching the ball on the bat. This makes it easier to deaden the ball and control the direction. Secondly he bunted it to the wrong side. With a man on second you want the third baseman to field that bunt. What the hell Santana was doing I don’t know. The ball popped so high in the air it was obviously going to be caught. Everyone makes mistakes but the Twins make fundamental mistakes nearly every game. It hasn’t improved and because it happens repeatedly I can only assume it’s not a priority with the coaching staff. I bet the Twins have lost 6-8 games this year due to this.

    I suspect payroll constraints will take care of weeding out some vets. The tough part is that none of the young guys showed enough to really count on them next year and we won’t pay the vets. Rock and a hard place.

    Yea I was going to post this assuming modern baseball does it the same way. The runners job is to make sure the ball isn’t going to be fielded by the pitcher before he breaks. While the third base coach should be helping is Martins job and he failed. He is a very fundamentally unsound player.

    If the Twins thought they had a PR problem before they ain’t seen nothing yet. I’m sure their crack business ops group is up to the task 😀
  7. Linus
    Both things can be true.
  8. Linus
    And that ladies and gentlemen is why we don’t bunt anymore. Jeffers with poor technique just jabbing at the ball. And Santana? Can’t even guess what he was thinking.
  9. Linus
    It’s just not. The FO makes those decisions. All of them. Always has.

    After many bad plays the Marlins stay in the game with two great catches

    And now the Manfred man gets to decide the season.
  12. Linus
    You would think we could just run hard out of the box.
  13. Linus
    I agree about DeAndrade. He seems to be the best real SS prospect the Twins have and they are going to need one in a couple years.
  14. Linus
    Well at least one of the less desirables is going to have to pitch. I would have preferred they do it with an 8-3 lead than tonight when the game could be on the line.
  15. Linus
    I was surprised he used Durán last night. The game was in hand.

    Momentum is tomorrow’s starting pitcher. - Tom Kelly
  17. Linus
    If they give him a set position to play I think he will be a plus defender (not including SS). The real question is whether he will hit or not. Which is interesting since he was supposed to be a polished bat first guy when drafted.
  18. Linus
    Yea beat me to it. Could be a good illustration of the 2024 Twins.
  19. Linus
    What a horrible play by C4. No excuse for that.
  20. Linus
    Well I didn’t cut the budget and Polo wouldn’t have been as bad as Julien and we would have had a legit starter instead of what we got for Polo. Everyone was in love with Julien - I saw a limited player that someone might overpay for. Turns out I was right (so far).
  21. Linus
    Me too and I posted this very thing before Polanco was traded. Julien plus a prospect would have brought in the starter we needed badly.
  22. Linus
    This. I was in the financial services business for 40 years. The customer has the final vote as to whether they want to do business with you or a competitor. The Twins don’t have a direct baseball competitor but they sure do for their fans discretionary dollars. When it comes to your business reputation perception is reality. The Twins might not like, agree or understand that but the reputation of the Twins isn’t great.
  23. Linus
    I agree. And they had one of the best rotations in baseball last year. Lots of changes need to be made but Maki needs to stay.
  24. Linus
    Definitely should be in the bullpen next year. No way he is the next Jax. Jax has three really good pitches and a fourth good one. Louie has a decent fastball and an ok cutter.
  25. Linus
    I feel bad for Ober. He has been a pretty good pitcher for us this year and he didn’t have it last night when we needed it the most. I think I am in the minority on this one but do people think Bark at the Park helps or hurts attendance? I would never go to the park on those games.
