    I am sure glad France was in the lineup over Lee tonight. Rocco is just a genius.
  2. HarmonK03
    And for him to not make major moves, just sell the free agents. I don't trust Falvey and the direction he may set for the team.
  3. HarmonK03
    And he can only go four innings in an outing so he would fit in just fine.
  4. HarmonK03
    They are basically doing this with every pitcher now. The Saints announcer a couple of weeks even commented that the Saints only have bulk pitchers, they don't have anyone to go just one inning in a save situation. But remember Falvey is smarter than the rest of baseball, I see a World Series title in the very near future.
  5. HarmonK03
    Rocco doesn't have any faith in his offense either, playing the infield in during the third inning in a tied game. At least it was tied at the time.
  6. HarmonK03
    He has never thrown more than 59 pitches, so I am sure this will be his last inning.
  7. HarmonK03
    They are reinventing how pitchers are used. It is better to give them 4 innings at a time and not develop any starters just bulk guys.
  8. HarmonK03
    He is a DFA candidate, if somebody trades for him they should be fired.
  9. HarmonK03
    Gasper is still here and France is in the lineup for Lee. What is the organization's objective, it would appear that by trading Paddack when you are short starters you are selling. Then why is Gasper on the roster and even France. If you are selling get the younger players in and see what you have now, not a week from now or two weeks. Lee needs regular AB's and when you have France starting over him, you just wonder what is the direction.
  10. HarmonK03
    Then Falvey should have been fired three years ago. If the players are not good enough they should be trying to upgrade the talent, not signing a Ty France.
  11. HarmonK03
    The Red Sox don't seem to be too concerned with facing a bullpen game. They put in their best lineup and don't worry about what hand the pitchers they face throw with. The Twins organization should take note, but doubt they will.
  12. HarmonK03
    That is the argument but it is not about averages. Right now the Twins are not stretching out any of their pitchers in the minor leagues at the top two levels. Name one other team that is doing that. They were quoted as saying that they are doing something new in the minor leagues with the pitching model. Last night Detroit had a pitcher in his second major start go 7 innings and face 24 batters and there are plenty of other examples. So I believe the Twins are doing this to a greater degree than other teams.
  13. HarmonK03
    The Twins have stopped developing starting pitchers. Look at the box scores, every "starter" in AAA and AA is going 3 or 4 innings and throwing 60 to 70 pitchers. Then they bring a bulk pitcher in after that to do the same. The Saints announcer made mention of this a couple of weeks ago, they don't have anyone that goes just one inning, they are all bulk guys. And now you have these guys coming up but the rest of the pitching staff isn't constructed to support this model. At some point Falvey has to realize he isn't the smartest man in baseball and stop trying to reinvent the wheel. It's one thing to tweak things, but he keeps trying to keep changing how things are done. Well you need to win if you are going to do this and the results have not been there.

    I am so excited, we have Tonkin back. Is there really no one else that could provide the same production with more upside that could be called up.
  15. HarmonK03
    For the month of July since Lewis has been back, he has started 12 games, 7 at 2B. Again give him some regular run and consistency and see what happens; I don't disagree his hitting is concerning but what happens with some consistency and regular play. June he played fairly well with regular playing time. At some point they have to decide who has a potential with the team and find out if they can be a contributor. The team is going nowhere and to keep playing the stopgap veterans is not leading to winning or to improving the team for the future.
  16. HarmonK03
    When they did they move Lee to 2B. He played there all three games against the Nationals. But other then the end of May he has never started two games in a row there. They have been moving him around every game. While I am disappointed with his performance currently but what would happen if he actually got to play every day at the same position and got comfortable. A spot start at SS is one thing but moving almost every game, reps do matter even in the big leagues.
  17. HarmonK03
    I think Lee coming home that was pre determined before the pitch. Rocco always plays the infield in to cut down the run at home. I don't think it has anything to do with his instincts, that is the way players are being taught and so went with what was pre determined. Also I am not sure that was his ball last night, Castro and France wanted nothing to do with that pop up and he came the farthest and tried to get it. But Castro probably should have of taken it. But again when you keep moving players around, communication will be impacted and we have seen this more than once since the ASB.
  18. HarmonK03
    Who threw 40 ptiches yesterday, do you really think he is available.
  19. HarmonK03
    Why use Coluombe in the third inning, now we have no LH for higher leverage opportunities later in the game. Quit trying to match up every AB, it is not winning baseball. And despite the extension Rocco really needs to go, this team is lifeless, has no mojo. You have to make a change even if it is for change sake.
  20. HarmonK03
    Is Zebby done or will he come out for the sixth?
  21. HarmonK03
    If only we had someone that could hit in this spot instead of Kiersey, oh wait we did have.
  22. HarmonK03
    Are we sure Rocco is still in the dugout or is he injured.
  23. HarmonK03
    So will we get to see Kiersey bat later in the game instead of Lewis. Take our hottest player out of the game. Rocco put the script down and watch the game.
  24. HarmonK03
    We are not going to the postseason this season, the starts need to go to the young guys, And Paddack isn't getting us there either.
  25. HarmonK03
    My response was to resigning him for next year, not about this year. And Paddack is not a good starter, look at his ERA before todays game.
