Jax clean. Nice.
-
He golfed that!
-
Maybe if CC swings harder and/or more wildly. Don’t these guys use video to analyze their swings? He looks completely out of control most of the time.
-
Jays just schooling us on bunt execution.
-
I maintain that Garlick isn’t really a MLB player. And here he is, flailing away in the 3 spot while AK watches.
-
Garlick. Nothing.
-
Tough way to balk

Strange

Short answer: both. But there’s something definitely broken with the hitting philosophy of this team since the juiced ball Bomba thing. It’s not unique to the Twins, but they seem to be all in on it.
-
Well, there's the first part.
-
I'm sort of expecting that TB brings in a lefty RP so that Rocco can pinch hit Jeffers for AK.
-
Garlic hitting for Kepler. I'm mean striking out for Kepler. The awesomeness is overwhelming at times.
-
Walks. Why'd it have to be walks.
-
CC at clean up. Nuff said.

Trevor in the booth was practically begging for the Twins to be bunting on that Castro AB, correctly pointing out how difficult a play in general for the 3B it was. In the game that I grew up with, a left handed light hitting speed guy was essentially assumed to be doing that; it made all the sense in the world given the context of the 9th inning last night. But no evidence of that level of thinking in the Twins dugout. Besides, Trevor said it was "unpopular".

Forgetting the nuances for just one minute, it’s just plainly a bad product from the standpoint of entertainment. All of joy that I’ve come to rely on from even bad Twins teams has been sucked out of the experience. Pinch hitting for your best/most entertaining young hitters (based on what?) is just example. I’ve been joking with family members about whose Twins jersey they should invest in, and now we’re just dropping the subject altogether.

Somewhere in all of that you would hope that coaches and managers would be working with guys on that, but I see no evidence. We’re 60-ish games into the season and we’re talking about Spring Training things IMO.

Well darn
-
Nice AB Kep!
-
Siri. I’m not a fan.
-
Max’s eyes still working on that nice catch!
-
Pinch hitting for one of your best hitters. Brilliant.
-
Stewie!
-
That looked like a Ben Revere AB. Speed guy swinging for the fences with 2 strikes. Where’s the hitting coach???
-
I’d love a bunt actually.
