How many more of these “All Analyst “ things? I think the hackey sack thing is hitting rock bottom.

Lees on 3rd again

Good point, but in my mind it felt like a good old fashioned “challenge trade”. Jax always wanted to be a starter, the Twins didn’t want that and there were indications that he wanted out of here, especially during the fire sale. The Rays were out of patience with Bradley having sent him down to AAA. So both guys needed/wanted a change of scenery? It’s early but both sides are happy.

I daresay this team is playing well. Way more entertaining than I was prepared for this season.
-
The 4 guys in the booth was novel for a half inning but I’m entirely done with it.
-
Cleveland playing defense like the USMNT last night
-
Morny at least let Lopez talk if we’re giving him a mic. Better yet, let’s call the action in the field…
-
I’ll admit it - I love that they’re giving Span grief for that “call”.
-
Piling on but Fedko really needs a 2 strike swing, because he’s always down in the count.
-
If it results in less Morny then I’m ok with it.
-
Fedko would be served by having a slightly more defensive swing with two strikes IMO
-
Crappy bunt 😆
-
Fedko. Not good a getting a bunt down. But moved the guys up.
-
Is this lead Funderproof?
-
Speaking of, Detroit is using him almost full time. 0-5 today, has popped a couple HRs, but on the year is striking out almost 50% of the time. There’s your Outman public service announcement.
-
Noooooooo….
-
Luke? Is that you?
-
This is the consequence of having players so not established in their positions that they are moved around in season hoping they find a home defensively and/or show enough as hitters to “stick”. Ideally we aren’t doing this all season with multiple players but there’s always going to be adjustments. Some of them work out, but a lot don’t.
-
Someone posted in a recent game thread the high incidence of Twins relievers coming in and immediately walking a batter. I didn’t look for data about it but it seems accurate. Likely it’s just a function of having poor relievers. But just one a many “little things” that cap you around 78 wins.
-
I did. I was shown a few cards. Never regretted a single one.
-
Definitely the exception, and a valuable asset for us. Problem we have now is the organization, and maybe the league in general, has devalued defensive fundamentals and accepted diminished performance on that side of the ball in favor of cheap moveable parts.
-
Don’t you know that everyone can everywhere? At least that how it seemed the past few years. I’m with you; I think the consistency is more important than the supposed flexibility.
-
All things considered Gray isn’t adding anything to this roster. Sure it was fun when he was hitting grand slams, but he’s been a negative in the field (3 error game I recall) and the magic has left the bat.
-
That’s a strong man
