    furthermore, was he not a roving minor league instructor for the core players? How is defensive miscues and baserunning gaffes not on him?
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    there’s a difference between baseball strategy and tactics. It’s clear he’s not effective at communicating or implementing the tactics. That doesn’t take away from his intelligence. I firmly believe (with no solid proof of my own) that Molitor is a rocket scientist of baseball that may not relate very well to his players and gets paralyzed at times by overthinking the outcomes and not making the timely moves. It also seems that Molly wears out bullpen arms and trots out injured players that he trusts and takes their word for it. He’s not my guy, and I agree with the posters looking for relatable and bilingual

    who should bat 1-4? You’ve got Mauer and the Eds and then.... Who? Adrianza? Grossman? Please put together a lineup.
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    Let’s just close the internet, all this speculation isn’t worthwhile anyways
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    Retroactive to 6/14 https://mobile.twitter.com/njrowan/status/1007769881331290112

    AL East, West and Wild Cards are locked, all they have to do is win the Central huh?
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    ftp://ftp.baseballgraphs.com/wpa/WinExp.xls The linked chart is to calculate Win Expectancy for the WE chart portion of the WPA calculator. Score impacts him negatively, but he can never blow a lead, so it’s mitigated a bit.

    i think you just gotta be patient. Keplers k% down, bb% up, hard hit % up, soft hit % down, BABIP down.... he’s doing everything right but hitting into slight shifts. I don’t think a minor league assignment will help, and sure don’t think Cave will be better. BTW the strib article said Kep was reluctant to change his stroke for more homers, but his flyball rate is up. I think Kepler was trying say the cliched, “coaches think and I implement” type of phrase. It just came out wrong. Maybe he needs to flatten out a bit to try to raise his LD% rate a bit? I’m not feeling good about Carter. At least Morrison brings a little defense to first. Gotta spell Mauer once in a while.
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    its tough to say how bad it is. He could be fine in a couple days if he didn’t break any bones or cut any major blood vessels. He will most likely start very rusty, no matter how long his rehab assignment is. He should however be in mid season form when the Twins win the division and make their push for the ALCS
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    agreed, and it was the right call to do, but it was still a detriment to his development even if it was a necessity. It felt like Polanco had the same minor league development recipe as a US high schooler even though the rules were different. Had the FO taken a more aggressive approach, maybe he’d have been more productive when he was forced onto the 40 man and active roster.
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    i hope Magill starts getting into some higher leverage situations and a little more regular in his implementation. He’s been so good, but so sporadic
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    Newgate is a good option too, they are a votech that uses donated cars to teach auto repair to people in need https://www.newgateschool.org
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    polanco is a prime example
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    it’s also home of Extended Spring Training and where most of the deeper rehab assignments start.
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    And the corresponding move Mauer and Motter http://mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20180615&content_id=281366410&vkey=news_min&c_id=min

    https://www.twincities.com/2018/06/14/twins-demotion-of-miguel-sano-part-of-holistic-plan-to-reboot-all-star-third-baseman/ Sano has said the right things - i nabbed this from the MLBTR snippet “It’s the decision they take and I take too,” said Sano of the demotion. “I’m not mad. They gave me an opportunity. No reason I can get mad. … I’m going to take pride of going down there and working hard so I can come back and be better.”
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    they needed a roster spot for Belisle
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    they do not listen to me, that I know of.... I’d hate for the first time to be about this particular boondoggle
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    its a really good post, too bad I can’t like it for fear of Falvine seeing it and misreading that I like have 13 pitchers, 5 outfielders and no backup infielders
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    lets wait til the end huh?
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    LaMarre has a RBI in the box....And Ehire now has 4 RBI in the box
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    Come on Ehire!
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Holy crap Sano didn’t strike out!
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    Falvine almost has to make a change at manager, right? Can’t get rid of 20 players. If they do, I guarantee it isn’t gonna be Ozzie
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    twins have scored “a” run
