    Looking at Castro and Clemens they seem to be one in the same. After they were given a chance to play everyday they showed they can preform. With someone like Lewis who yes was a number one pick has been unable to stay on the field or has not lived up to the pick. Again a change of scenery may be a need for both parties. Does the team really need to play the long game with him like they did with Buxton. The team really needs to move away from players who take years to preform. Everyday people say trade Larnach who has taken years to get to where he's at a part time player. This roster is full of part time players and will be years away from a run in the division nevertheless playoffs.

    Love how everyone thinks its time to move on from a player who is actually contributing and can play numerous positions. How about moving on from a player like Lewis who doesn't have a position. Why is it that he gets chance after chance and now getting to learn to play 2nd or 1st or who knows where next on the big club. It just might benefit both parties to move on because as it stands its not working.

    Shelton told us everything we need to know about this team the other day. He said Buxton is the CFer and all other positions are interchangeable. How is the team defense going to improve if you come to the stadium not knowing what position you will be playing that day. Playing a game without a error has become a luxury for this team. And yesterday DFAing Outman for Lewis almost cost them big time. With Buxton sore from hitting the wall Larnach and Kreidler both could have joined him on the bench. This team is looking like a real clown show. The only thing missing is the tiny car for them to climb out of at the start of the game.

    Too many walks!! Young or Old as a pitcher walks will hurt you. Why is Funderburg back with the Saints,too many walks to LH hitters. This isn't rocket science.

    Musical chairs at SS has and is a liability for the middle infield. Added to that a poor defensive player at 2nd will put more games in the lost column. If Buxton isn't in CF the whole defense up the middle is one of the worst in baseball. Why are they waiting to bring up someone who can play SS. All you have to do is look at the pitchers face when they see a bad play behind them. It isn't helping any of the slow to react players either with the over shifting. Time and time again with the pitchers missing their spot and hitters putting the ball in play in a straight up hole created by the shift.

    This team is who we thought they were!! Just who as a fan looking back at the trade deadline thought the FO was making the team better. The ownership ordered the gutting of the team. Just how many teams would lineup to trade with this team for this roster. Other than Ryan or Buxton and Jeffers who by the way is on IL no one. I guess you could put Bradley on the list as well,so that puts at 4 players out of 26. Look for a long summer at an empty stadium.

    Looking around the league SP are dropping like flies. He will get claimed by Monday afternoon. Maybe his new team will be able to get something out of him. His biggest problem is and has been walking himself into trouble. Watching him pitch this year has been hard. His splitter that was his out pitch was noncompetitive and he needed to to get away from using it. This team has far bigger problems than if SWR is on this weak roster. The last week should have told the fans just how bad this team really is. By next weekend you can put 5 more losses on their record.
  8. David Maro
    This is what happens when you play musical chairs with the infield. Don't have enough everyday players on the roster. Saw this loss from a mile away,asking the BP to pitch 5 innings again is asking to much. When only getting 2.1 innings out of SWR the day before and Bradley's short day it was easy to see the outcome.
  9. David Maro
    First off SWR was probably going to pitch in this game after Rojas started. We saw the same problem with him game after game walking himself into trouble. You can't go 0-2 on a hitter and then walk them. His splitter is not working,no one is swinging at it because it is noncompetitive. Looking at the roster who believes that there is more than 2 or 3 starting players on this team. Everyday its who's at 1st,2nd,SS and now even CF. For this team to be were its at in the division is a surprise to everyone. It's more because the Royals and Tigers are worse. All the folks who thought that the White Sox would be bad haven't been paying attention. At this point they own the Twins.

    More than likely moving him off of 3rd could effect his bat all over again. I think we all know that if Rocco was still managing Lewis would still be with the big club. Look how long it took Shelton to move Wallner and Lewis. Maybe Zoll stepped in and helped with the move. After all this is a business that needs butts in the seats. The weather is now warming up and playing Gray and Arcia as everyday players won't help in that regard. This team is a mess with far too many same position players that are now being moved all over the field. Look at Clemens who has played 1st,2nd,RF and now LF. The only positions that are consistent are catcher with Jeffers when healthy and CF with Buxton when healthy. Martin was moved from the infield to LF to play against LH pitching and now playing RF and even CF. This to me shows Falvey left an organization in flux that is going to take a couple of years to straighten out.
  11. David Maro
    Why is it that they need to make everyone a power hitter? He in my mind is a gap to gap hitter with warning track power. He and Martin along with Buxton put pressure on when they are on base not rounding the bases from a solo shot. This team leads all of baseball with bases loaded that has been something that previously didn't pan out because everyone swung for the fences.
  12. David Maro
    If they think Lee is going to stay at 3rd then it may be time to move on from Lewis. The problem with Lee he has to work on throws to 1st because he doesn't have the arm that Lewis has. That was a big problem early on with Lewis was wild throws to 1st that he has improved greatly. Everyone is talking about oh boy Lewis has hit a couple of homeruns he is ready to return. Let's not get ahead with ourselves he needs to show that he has figured things out for more than a handful of at bats. As of now the whole infield is in flux. Everyday it's who's playing 1st,who's at 2nd,SS and 3rd. In my mind players are playing for a roster spot for 27.
  13. David Maro
    Here we go again first words out of your mouth were he hit a homerun in his first at bat. Well I guess he's ready to come back to the team. After his IL earlier this year he hit a homerun and they brought him back right away. He should have stayed for a period of time then. He should stay now until he shows he can hit above 200 and is showing more than a homerun here and there. He is off balance in the box and swinging at pitches feet out of the zone. He may need until the AS break to fix all that's wrong with his approach.
  14. David Maro
    Nine innings to come up with 3 runs and can't do it. The start of a long summer.
  15. David Maro
    Saw some good news and some bad news this afternoon!! The good news Buxton at DH and Lewis to the Saints. Also good Topa DFA'ed which needed to happen weeks ago. The bad news Jeffers with the hamate bone break to IL until the AS break probably. That is the big blow this team may not be able to over come.
  16. David Maro
    SWR has to drop the splitter it has brought him far to many 3-2 counts. And sorry but Topa has to go he tried all he could to give the game away. You can't come in and walk the leadoff hitter and make things worse by hitting the next hitter. He is a veteran pitcher who is pitching like a rookie. Jeffers can't DH with a sore wrist,swinging a bat will make things worse. Hopefully it's a mild issue and could be back soon.
  17. David Maro
    Plain and simple get the ball in play!! With ducks on the pond and no outs you can't strike out 3 times. How about Gray or Outman laying down a bunt instead of swinging away. The game is called baseball and sometimes small ball wins.
  18. David Maro
    The play at 3rd was a terrible call period. If you look at the camera shot from home Lewis's foot was on the foul line and foul territory. More than half the bag was open to the runner. I don't believe the rule states they get the whole bag.
  19. David Maro
    SWR was a 180 from Ober and Keaschall's error in the 1st inning put SWR in a hole he couldn't get out of. He has to be taken out of the rotation now or he may never recover. What are they waiting for with Wallner and Lewis,they are unplayable and should be demoted. Baseball is a game that needs contributes from everyone. The only thing they are doing is striking out.
  20. David Maro
    He reminds me of Moran,all the stuff to get hitters out but can't throw strikes. He is throwing now not pitching. If I were him I would be bending Pablo's ear on how to pitch. Might need to throw 95-96 not 98 to get control.
  21. David Maro
    Plain and simple you don't gut your BP on a team that has a starting staff that has a hard time going 5 innings. And now you see what that has done for this season. The FO has been looking across the waiver wire to bring one dead arm pitcher after another. As for players like France or Bader and Castro trading them was moves that were ok to make. The team was going nowhere and they were FA at seasons end. And finding someone to take C4 was basically the same move as the Donaldson move. And now seeing the injury C4 has that maybe a career changer.
  22. David Maro
    Good win,but can't strikeout 17 times and win many games. The manager has to make tough decisions when a player should take a seat after striking out 2 or 3 times like Bell or Wallner. Games like this can be won playing small ball,that's getting the ball in play not swinging for the fence.
  23. David Maro
    Time for SWR to drop the splitter and try something else. He can't throw it as a competitive pitch and ends up with too many 3-2 counts. Watching yesterday he also got upset with some of the calls by the umpire and Jeffers for no challenge on pitches. He allows things to get under his skin and costs him in the end. Might be a good idea to move to the BP and work on things with Hawkins.
  24. David Maro
    The mistake made was bringing him back after 2 rehab games in St Paul. Should have stayed for at least a week. At this point he is unplayable because of his bat. And yes he did have a sac fly the other night,but even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
  25. David Maro
    The game could have gotten ugly fast with Bradley halfway to 100 pitches in 2 innings. He did well to go 6 innings with that bad of a start. And with the offense showing up that probably took pressure off as well. And to all the people wanting Larnach gone its time to say were would this team be without him. Both he and Martin have been the toughest outs all season. The BP still is a crap shoot when called upon to finish the game. You don't know who is going to blow up when asked to pitch.
