    Three converted infielders playing in the outfield, induce a lot of ground balls
  3. HarmonK03
    Wow one run he gave up, proves the point it is about runs given up.
  4. HarmonK03
    Actually if you are getting outs, that is good, I didn't know they gave runs for the hardest hit balls.
  5. HarmonK03
    Rocco also not a helper to Larnach.
  6. HarmonK03
    Exactly, just because a player can play a position doesn't mean he can play it well. There is a reason we see some of the sloppy play that happens, players are not playing in familiar positions.
  7. HarmonK03
    And now we have the famed power hitters Farmer and Helmen left to pinch hit.
  8. HarmonK03
    Put Royce at short and move Lee to second, at least he would be more comfortable there. Stop thinking this is Little League.
  9. HarmonK03
    Helmen is up here because the Twins analytics nerds think this is Strat-o-matic. Just because a player can go to different positions doesn't mean he can play them well. How many utility guys do you need. Play your best players at their best position. Having one utility guy is not a bad thing but you don't need a roster full of them. Helmen may do ok up there but I just wish for once they would bring up the best player regardless of where they play.

    I personally would rather see Wallner out there every day regardless of who is pitching.
  11. HarmonK03
    That is on Rocco and the analytics because they don't 4 seam FB's as well so they decided to go away from Zebby's strengths.
  12. HarmonK03
    That is what I said none of them do, I was including Margot.
  13. HarmonK03
    And play them where, none of them play CF.
  14. HarmonK03
    His pinch hitting prowess.
  15. HarmonK03
    It was talked about by Perkins that was the game plan because they don't hit 4 seam fastballs well. He needs to set up his fastball with his other pitches.
  16. HarmonK03
    This is on Rocco and Maki just as much as Zebby. They are trying to get him to throw the high fastball past the hitters like Pablo last night. That is not his game, he needs to use all his pitches. This trying to match up on every pitch and at bat doesn't work. Your players are either good enough or not, let them play with their strengths. They did this to Ober when he got blown up as well, had him focused on using his third pitch.
  17. HarmonK03
    Are we 3.5 or 30 games out of first place. The way this team acts with no sense of urgency you would think the season is over. They had a day off yesterday, bring him in and make a determination of his availability. This teams plays not to lose instead of playing to win. This is just getting frustrating.
  18. HarmonK03
    Losing Farmer does not hurt this team, having Lee over Julien makes us better. We need to win the next two games and stop the skid they are on, put your best team out there. Move either one of those out,
  19. HarmonK03
    It doesn't look like Lee will be here tomorrow, He is not in the lineup for St. Paul and it has been reported he is still in Omaha. Is there no sense of urgency to help this team. They are acting like we are in May and we have plenty of time left in the season.
  20. HarmonK03
    So instead they keep signing pitchers who have had one good year or they think they can magically fix when no one else can. I don't think their methodology is working, that is when you try something different.
  21. HarmonK03
    Actually the numbers say they are pretty equal in getting run on-Vasqy has thrown out 9 of 53 runners-17%, Jeffers has thrown out 8 of 55 runners-15%. The pitchers need to hold runners on, but the organizational philosophy is that stolen bases are not important in the analytics world so they don't emphasize holding runners on or to steal bases on offense. So the criticism of Jeffers I think is not completely fair.
  22. HarmonK03
    the traditional closer role is becoming less defined. This is a narrative that keeps being pushed and it is not true. The winning teams have a true closer and they pitch them primarily in the 9th inning that is what the stats say. Not everyone can close games, it is a mindset along with the skills, remember Ron Davis.
  23. HarmonK03
    What is the fascination with Stewart and Topa in thinking they will help this bullpen. Stewart has never pitched more than 30 innings in a season so counting on him to be a fixture in the bullpen is foolhardy. Topa is in his 30's and has had one good season, again hoping he can be a fixture is doing a lot of hoping. Get somebody that has a proven track record and can actually help the bullpen.
  24. HarmonK03
    Yes Santana has been a decent pickup but he should not be leading the team in AB's. He has had one month where he is above league average in OPS. He needs to playing only against LH pitching and used as a defensive replacement. Kirilloff was outperforming him in April and currently Miranda is having AB's taken away because Santana is being deployed everyday at 1B. So no we would not be flailing at 1B without him, but I believe his contributions are being overvalued. Everyone overlooks some of the plays he has missed at first, you have to take those into account along with the plays he has made.
  25. HarmonK03
    Now we will get to see Margot butcher flyballs in CF, I just don't get this anymore.
