    That’s just the usual Hot Take industry, if you ask me. So down the road, if Lewis is struggling, you move him to third. why close the door on it before you need to. Heck, I would have still had Polanco at short last season and early this season. Anyway, Radcliffe loved Lewis.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Irrelevant. We are talking about Correa and Lewis.

    As long as we are drifting into draft talk, one of my biggest disappointments is that here is Royce Lewis, the front office’s very first draft pick, future leader and all star and cornerstone of the franchise, finally on schedule and ready to take the reigns at shortstop. and then they sign Correa. I understand the argument for having good players and moving them around, but the long term plan was for Lewis to play shortstop for the next half decade. And by signing Correa, I kind of feel that they gave up on the plan just when it was ready to bear fruit. Even if Correa had been hitting, still not a fan of the stinging. Because Lewis. All Ye Abandon Faith, or whatever that saying is.

    Agree. You always hear that the trail runner needs to be watching the lead runner and go if he goes, but that seems like a lot to process in a short amount of time. Then again, these are guys getting 100mph pitches thrown at them from 60 feet.

    I do think Kepler is checked out, mentally. Has been for a while.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well that’s the thing. I agree and I wouldn’t have Kepler in right, but I also don’t think any other RF (Larnach, Garlick, Wallner) catches that Franco fly ball in the 8th.

    If anyone here from the “Lessons Learned from the 2022 trade deadline” thread is looking for insightful commentary, this game tonight provides plenty of chances for that. Go ahead and make an observation or ask a question. I will start by asking if Twins baserunners on second base have a sign they give to the trailing runner that they are going to steal? Taylor steals second base, then third, but Kepler the trailing runner after the walk stays at first, and Kepler probably scores on Lewis’s single if he’s on second. anyone shed any light on it?

    I love when pitchers point to the sky on fly balls, like, “can of corn, right fielder” oh well good to see Royce back and healthy

    I had no opinion of Mahle-Steer-CES, and I did not like the Arraez trade. I thought it was giving up way too much offense. I'm not ready to revise that judgment.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You can use your google searching skills to find plenty of criticism here of these trades at the time the trades were made. If you want to read insightful commentary, be an insightful discussion partner! As far as who should be running this front office? Yeah, someone else, if you ask me. My narrative hasn't shifted on that in years. None of us know the names of potential candidates any more than Joe Pohlad knows the names of potential candidates, but with a little bit of time and work, we could get up to speed. I'd be interested to know who else were the candidates in 2016.

    Here let me google that for you… 🙂 Chipper was at .421 on June 6, dipped under .400 on June 21, and finished at .364 seven points higher than Pujols for 2008 BA winner. Mauer won it in the A.L. that season at .328
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    First MLB-er to be batting over .400 in June since Chipper Jones in 2008
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Update, Provus said they just made the decision right before the game.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Raley! Oh, no longer a Twin nm
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I was gonna predict the Twins take 2 of 3, cause wouldn’t that just be sumpin’ you wouldn’t expect, but now I revise that down to 1 of 3
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Is that an Ides of March reference? Maybe a D Day reference?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Luke Raley! Heard that name before
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not at a tv, but I’m assuming Correa looked horrible on that AB Still, making him throw 18 pitches is not bad (comes to 90 pitches in 5 inn)
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hate the strikeout, love the 9-pitch AB
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    nice to see Polo healthy and lead off
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well, that’s the fine line we all try to balance. The difference between asking questions and complaining, or between venting or cheering
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    bummer about de Grom too. Texas is making noise with a good chance to make the postseason.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Honestly, you are probably right, but the best reason to announce it as soon as they lock down the details is because that’s the normal thing to do. I mean, it’s not like we are running a trick play or trying to take Tampa bay by surprise here :)
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I sent you a sad emoji, but I would not bet against either honestly I just want to make sure Lewis gets right
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    My guess was Correa or Buxton to IL. Come on down and get your prize. Yeah an update on Lewis would be nice, too. I am away from tv and radio so if anyone can share an update 👍
