    Yea I think big league at bats are the key here.
  2. Linus
    Plus I think the minor league affiliates are done around Labor Day. AAA goes until mid September I think so options for a rehab assignment are pretty limited.
  3. Linus
    Another good pitching success story. He seems to waver a bit in high leverage situations but he has gone AAAA to a bona fide major league reliever in a couple years.
  4. Linus
    We will find out after 1000 at bats. People refer to his “talent” which I’m not sure of. He doesn’t seem overly athletic to me rather he developed a unique hitting style. His defensive limitations put more pressure on the bat to perform. I doubt he will ever be as good as last year and probably is better than what he has shown this year. I wish him well because he is going to have to hit at a pretty high level to stay in the bigs.

    You are correct in that when the contact play is on and you are a dead duck your job is to get into a rundown so other runners can advance. But this team is fundamentally not sound and these types of mistakes happen nearly every game. Alcala had a rough game but nobody is talking about the errors we’ve made to end the last two games.
  6. Linus
    No kidding. I didnt say release them simply that they shouldn’t be counted on as starters.
  7. Linus
    Here is an interesting scenario. Let’s assume they bring Santana back (I’m not sure I would but the guy has been pretty good). Then it almost makes sense to have Miranda at third Lee at second and Royce in left field. If they don’t bring Santana back then Miranda gets first and Royce and Brooks cover second and third with Lee getting whatever the FO considers the more important position. I would in no way count on Kiriloff or Julien in my plans.

    To make matters worse he hasn’t been that good either. I’m sure the Twins would love to dump him on somebody next year. That trade is really looking no bueno.

    Varland is young? Suddenly I feel better
  10. Linus
    Off the bench and makes that play. Outstanding Willi.
  11. Linus
    He wouldn’t have hit that with a canoe paddle.
  12. Linus
    The Twins are good for at least one bonehead play per game. Sometimes several. We are up to two tonight with a couple innings to go.
  13. Linus
    I also agree. I would have added him instead of Julien and let him play CF against righties until Buxton gets back and maybe longer.
  14. Linus
    Nope. When he came up he had the traditional crouch. There are still plenty of catchers that have a traditional crouch.
  15. Linus
    The Twins obviously believe in framing as they contort their catchers stance. He’s not a great receiver but I would let him go back to a traditional crouch behind the plate. His blocking and throwing would improve and framing would be the same.

    The Polanco trade has been the gift that keeps on giving for Twins Daily writers.
  17. Linus
    I love this.
  18. Linus
    That makes sense as Vasquez didn’t look in on the play which you are supposed to do if it’s a hit and run. Watching Martin learn the fundamentals of baseball has been frustrating.
  19. Linus
    Good win. Ober struggled but still produced a good start. Might be the best compliment you can offer: give your team a chance when it’s not your day.
  20. Linus
    Yep. He’s special.
  21. Linus
    If it’s a hit and run the runner is supposed to look in to see what the hitter did. The only time you don’t look in is on a straight steal with no contact. If Vasquez left on a straight steal I don’t know what to say. Either way another bonehead play.
  22. Linus
    Another bonehead play. Let’s see how many outs we can give Texas.
  23. Linus
    I do. At this point in the game and at his point in his career I don’t want him trying to outsmart the opposition.
  24. Linus
    No way that was called by Rocco. Just another bonehead play by a Twins player.
  25. Linus
    Margot reminds me of Farmer in that they were brought in to fill an important back up role and neither did. He’s been barely passable with the bat even being platooned and his fielding has been disappointing. Twins might get lucky on Doncon.
