  1. Do you have proof that Tom is giving the ok on the transactions. If that is your opinion, that is fine, but you appear to be stating it as fact.
  2. You took the answer out of context, here is the whole answer. And if he doesn't trust Zoll which he shouldn't, Tom is the not answer. In sports most team owners especially the successful ones are hands off, they hire competent personnel to run the operations staff. This was the typical way the Pohlads until Joe was named Executive owner and they were primarily successful. We don't know what Tom's role is, he stated he wanted to learn the business side which was Dave St. Peter's role when he first took over. Everyone is assuming he is making personnel decisions and I don't believe he is, I am not sure even he is that dumb, but who knows. He should have brought in a Senior Advisor and a lot of these questions wouldn't be out there.
  3. You still are assuming Tom is making personnel decisions, it would be good to have proof. And if he doesn't trust Zoll which he shouldn't, Tom is the not answer.
  4. We need talent and stop worrying about what side of the plate they stand on.
  5. I guess we will be the Mets 2.0 if Tom is making decisions on players, even one like Buxton. If he is overriding the doctors or his staff in him being on the IL then this team has no chance. If you want to speculate that he has input you can, but no one knows for sure, But I really hope he isn't because he has no idea of how to build a roster.
  6. No one touched the ball, you can't assume a catch from a scoring standpoint. There is no scorer in baseball that would have scored that as an error.
  7. Because CEO's don't make day to day decisions, they hire management to do that. So the criticism of Pohlad is he is allowing Zoll to make these decisions even though he is in over his head. But there are plenty of comments in various posts that keep saying Pohlad is making this decision or that on player personnel. It's not defending him, it's point out who is making these decisions. And unless it is budget related, he needs to let the people he hired do their job or in this case bring in someone more competent than JZ.
  8. If Kreidler makes the play, we are out of the inning with no runs. Keaschall was tentative on that fly ball and caught in between. Yes the catch needed to be made but this is the learning curve you have with him, he is going to run down some balls but there are going to be others that won't be caught. But it wouldn't have matter if Kreidler makes the play, he is in there for defense.
  9. I have been defending Buxton on here all week, but it is time for him to sit until he is 100%. It is great that he wants to be out there for his team, but if you can't run down a ball in the gap without coming up lame and have to leave the game early, it is time. My fear is the Twins will wait a few days to see if it calms down with treatment and we will be playing the White Sox down 2 players. The other fear is if they do put him on the IL, I truly think they will bring up Gray. This front office has shown no indications of taking bold action, they will take the safe half measures they have been doing all year long. And I hope I am wrong,
  10. If you swing at the pitch and don't make contact with the bat it is a strike even if it hits you. The swing takes priority over the hit by pitch.
  11. Jenkins is a better CF than Kreidler, that Kriedler is the best option on the 26 man rosters shows our shallow our depth is. He is league average out there. I think Jackson is here to stay, for whatever unknown reason they feel there is too much risk playing two catchers without another one on the bench.
  12. That will free up Kreidler to play in the outfield.
  13. They now have a spot to play Kreidler in front of the hometown fans.
  14. It will be Tristan Gray back up here and Kreidler and Clemens will back up Keaschall in CF. This was the move the last time he went on the IL, do you really think they will do it differently this time.
  15. He doesn't like to make two moves though, so he would have had to bring in Roden for defense. And because we play with a short bench he only pinch hits when he can make a one to one move for defense.
  16. This is a choice they make, when you have a short bench you need to use everyone.
  17. Tell us you know nothing about baseball without saying it.
  18. Did you know we are playing in Kreidler's hometown, it is getting a little much to keep talking about it. He just cost us two runs, talk about that.
  19. No he does not. Remember Atlanta last week DH' d Baldwin and they survived. Bell should have pinch hit for Kriedler and have him try to tie the game up.
