    Not all stadiums would kick out fans doing chants Not all organizations are as fan friendly as the Twins. As the recent letter reminded us, everything ownership does is for the fans.

    According to our broadcasters Buxton believes he can score from second on a hit therefore he doesn't need to steal third. Counting on his teammates to get a hit is where this plan falls apart. Not even Buxton is fast enough to score from second on an infield ground ball. When you absolutely need a run to tie the game in extras the fastest man in baseball needs to get to third, in position to score on a wild pitch, passed ball, or grounder.

    Twins could see if Morrisey is interested in a residency at Target field to close out the season. Twins baseball to get the fans in the mood, then an hour or so of beautiful pop depression.

    Ohl has been good every outing for a couple of innings. As his pitch count rises he's been less effective; to my eye a combination of less command and worse action on his changeup. If Rocco can resist the temptation to get a third or fourth inning out of him Ohl should be fine.

    Inducing it in his listeners is not an appropriate response

    Subpar Mario leading off....is this really the best we can do?

    I haven't seen all the games, but from what I've seen Lee is much better at short. He'll never have ideal athleticism but there's a discernable difference in confidence. The organizational conceit that anyone can move down on defense- short to second, second to first - with no impact on team defense is part of the reason the team is so bad in the field. Each position has its unique aspects and subtleties. The Twins rarely allow a young player to concentrate on a position enough to master it, Buxton being the exception to the rule.

    Ohl looks ok for an inning or two. Both outings got iffy as he exceeded 50 pitches, seemed to lose command.

    "It’s nice having a SS who can hit — Twins Central (@TwinsCentral1) " That's just cold.

    They don't. I expect the tradeoff for taking on Walker's salary was sending much less cash back to Houston. Which is why Houston said no.
  12. shimrod
    I expect the Twins offered significantly less cash in return for taking on that salary. If the player is worth having Houston knows they can shed that salary in a separate trade.

    That was fun.

    What contender is improved by trading for Larnach? Poor defense, spotty offense, total slug on the base paths. There's no market at the deadline. Maybe they can swap him in the offseason for someone else's underperforming player at a position of less depth.
  15. shimrod
    We didn't want guys who are no better than the underperformers we want to replace. So far to me Roden looks indistinguishable from Larnach. Nobody needs two Larnachs.

    I enjoy watching this team more than the pre-deadline edition. Amazing how lowered expectations can enhance your viewing pleasure.
  17. shimrod
    Julien admiring his non-HR instead of legging out a triple? Larnach jogging the bases like it's an NFL walkthrough? There are still a few players who need their attitude adjusted, ideally via DFA.

    Tells you a lot about management's goals for the rest of the season. Can we "earn" a top 2 pick?
  19. shimrod
    $1.5B + $425M is $1.925B. Just under $2B for a franchise generously estimated to have a value of $1.5B. At the Pohlad's asking price it's over $2B. A 25% overpay on purchase does not allow for much further investment in the business.
  20. shimrod
    Bingo. Just come out and say "I'm better than the rest of these bums". Well, after a couple seasons slumming with the AL Central riff raff Correa's going home. We can all pray his seasons in the wilderness didn't take too much luster off his case for the HOF. We truly didn't deserve him.
  21. shimrod
    Agree. The entitlement is through the roof. Aside from the monster contract the Twins apparently owe him perennial playoff appearances and a role in team management. Not responsibility, of course, just a say. Too bad the rules don't allow for Correa to eat some of that money when he decides he wants to play elsewhere.
  22. shimrod
    They are much, much smarter than you or I. Just ask them.
  23. shimrod
    Certainly weren't any during the game.
  24. shimrod
    Looked exactly like the pre-selloff Twins. "Only the names have been changed..."
  25. shimrod
    They played anywhere near their potential the team would not have been gutted. If they're pissed they need to look in the mirror.
