    He learns... although somewhat slowly.

    Nice story. I hope he makes his way back… both for him and the Twins!

    Sadly, that is not how this FO and owners work. They have invested 3.5 million in him. He will be here for the duration 😕

    Jog the length of a football field 18 times, do several 20-30 yard sprints in various directions, add a couple of leaps at the wall. Do that on a knee that is obviously so bad that a stolen base requires a couple of minutes to get get back on your feet. Buxton is not healthy enough to be a viable in CF. He is not performing as a DH. He should be on the IL and figuring out how to get back to playing form 😔

    Please stop yelling... It makes my head hurt and scares the fish 😉

    We just saw the potential of this team.... and it was fun!!! Next step is realize that potential on a consistent basis!

    Correa is not the team’s biggest problem. His offensive production is below his career norms, but he is still providing outstanding defense. Sadly, Buxton is the biggest problem (on a long list of problems). DH is an offense only position and must produce. A DH batting .200 is not acceptable. And on top of that, batting 2, 3 or 4. Slot a .300 hitter into that position and how many of the 2-0 and 2-1 losses turn into wins?

    And they steal a lot, and they hit a ton of home runs, and they are a lot of fun to watch.

    If you want to remember what entertaining baseball looks like… go to a Saints game. You are more likely to see a dozen runs than a dozen strikeouts!
  11. NotAboutWinning
    Well put! That is messed up!

    And if Lewis doesn't come around and toe the company line, he may find himself on the outbound side of a trade... to a much more successful team. Our loss will be his gain!

    Maybe I don't understand the concept of low leverage. Down 2-1 in the 7th is the definition of high leverage... Unless you've already deemed the game unwinnable!!!
  14. NotAboutWinning
    I'm not buying it. He is an excellent low leverage RP. But there is no such thing as a low leverage RP. That's like having a hitter who only hits home runs with no one on base. Who would ever.... Oh, never mind 🫤

    Excellent article Nick! Thank you for shining a big ole spotlight on the elephant in the room!
  16. NotAboutWinning
    And apparently he has a bright future as a hitting coach... Take what the pitcher gives you rather than striking out waiting for a mistake!
  17. NotAboutWinning
    Sadly, I don't see how the Twins will return from this road trip still leading the division. They have Atlanta/Baltimore while Cleveland has KC/Cubs.
  18. NotAboutWinning
    There is in an imaginary team... keeping the math geekery going 😄
  19. NotAboutWinning
    Strikeouts have the disadvantage of not putting any stress on the defense. This especially relevant against weaker teams. Miscommunication on a pop fly or a weird bounce on a weak grounder can result in getting on base. I would be more ok with the strike outs if our batters could make the adjustment to simply advance runners when needed. I think that would improve our bases loaded production immensely!
  20. NotAboutWinning
    How often does a team strike out 17 times and score 9 runs? Felt like we stepped into an alternate reality in the 8th 🤣
  21. NotAboutWinning
    Laughing... crying... so many tears! Truly one of your best Stu!! 🤣😭😂
  22. NotAboutWinning
    Great article Cody! Spot on! An entire lineup (some returning players, some new) does not forget how to make contact all at once. They are being led down a bad path. In an interview during spring training Falvey alluded to a new, "super" analytic system that no other teams have. That would be my prime suspect!
  23. NotAboutWinning
    This situation does not make any sense. These are Major League Baseball players. Some better offensively than others. But as a group, they should be at least league average. Something is getting in their way. They are not the Oakland A’s, who are group of mostly AAA & washed up players. They are not a rebuilding team composed of young, inexperienced players. They are highly skilled, experienced and competitive athletes. Something is getting in their way. It is not 1 or 2 players. It is across the lineup. Something is getting in their way. Is it Baldelli or Popkins or “the process” or the FO?
  24. NotAboutWinning
    The Twins are striking out by the dozen. The Saints are scoring runs by the dozen. What is wrong with this picture???
  25. NotAboutWinning
    This is enough to give a First Assistant to the Bench Coach a migraine 🤪 You all are a hoot! Thanks for the smiles!
