    I think Kreidler was adequate in CF but by putting him there you had Gray at SS. So what is the better defensive alignment Gray and Kreidler or Kriedler at SS and Fedko in CF. I am not necessarily a proponent of Fedko but I do feel his production in St. Paul earned him a call. And if you bring somebody up they should be given some opportunity. And the opportunity was there with Buxton out for a few days. And it's not like we have All Stars at every position that you can't give somebody a day off to give him some AB's. My main frustration was asking him to go into yesterday's game basically unprepared. He hadn't had a plate appearance in 12 games. That is poor roster management and you need to keep all players sharp. This is something TK did really well.

    There were opportunities to play him in CF when Buxton was out. That was a real missed opportunity and now moving forward who knows where the opportunity will come from. But a good manager keeps all his players sharp and can find playing time for everyone.
  3. HarmonK03
    He hasn't had an AB in 12 games, of course he is pressing. And in a total of 17 plate appearances you can conclude he is chasing garbage. I actually thought he had some good AB's until yesterday.
  4. HarmonK03
    I am curious how you came to this conclusion. He has started 3 games in 3 weeks. He has come into the game primarily in the 8th inning usually as a pinch runner. How does he earn playing time in this scenario. This to me isn't about Fedko about the usage of a roster spot but to say he hasn't earned playing time when he hasn't even been given any kind of shot is really unusual.
  5. HarmonK03
    If they are not going to use him then yes he needs to go back to St. Paul. I am not sure if we know anything about whether he can play up or here not. He started 3 games in 3 weeks and hadn't had a plate appearance in 12 days until today. Why do you use up a 40 man spot for him and then not even use him. He did deserve some playing time, whether he would have flopped or not no one knows. This is just poor roster management, this organization really has no plan.
  6. HarmonK03
    There were no outs, the runner on third doesn't typically go in that situation.
  7. HarmonK03
    So if he plays you tell him to jog around the bases and after every fly ball. It was the first inning, you are trying to score runs, I am not sure why this shouldn't have been done or why it is so careless. If a player plays they have to play at 100% effort.

    I agree, I want the goal to be to get or develop a closer. I am not expecting it at the deadline. I am not sure that Zoll wants this as I don't trust him either. My fear if he sticks in this job is he will continue the bullpen nonsense we have seen this year.
  9. HarmonK03
    Or a good shut down closer and set up man regardless of what side they throw from.
  10. HarmonK03
    That is not factually true.
  11. HarmonK03
    The Twins have actually been the ones holding Buck back, their doctors are making the decision. Buck is not saying he can't go most times.
  12. HarmonK03
    ?
  13. HarmonK03
    Hopefully they also get of the thought that they need a pinch runner and defensive replacement role and utilize every player on the roster.
  14. HarmonK03
    I want this team to be the best version they can be for the season not just for one series. Also, please don't tell me how to react to a game, you don't know me well enough for that.
  15. HarmonK03
    I never said it was all on Shelton. Below is my original comment. This comment was more of an indictment on Shelton, you can't play a player every 12 days and then expect them to have a high chance of success when needed. Just keep giving your thumbs down, that works better for you.
  16. HarmonK03
    Try something new called Google. The television announcers for the Twins vs. Yankees game today on NBCSN and Peacock are Cory Provus on play-by-play, alongside color analysts Adam Ottavino and Anthony Recke
  17. HarmonK03
    To follow up, Fedko hasn't started a game or a plate appearance in 12 days, how do you expect him to perform. Of course he is going to try and make something happen. This is poor roster management by Zoll and Shelton.
  18. HarmonK03
    Recker is the second analyst, Ottavino has been the main analyst today. They are offering a perspective from each team.
  19. HarmonK03
    This is on Peacock today, not TwinsTV. Recker is the second analyst who has been contributing some, but mostly it has been Ottavino.
  20. HarmonK03
    Part of this is on Shelton for not giving him some more opportunities especially when Buxton was hurt. This is what Kelly did well, he kept the bench guys sharp by getting them in the lineup on a semi regular basis. So they were ready to contribute when needed. Maybe it wouldn't have helped Fedko, but he hasn't been put in a position to succeed.
  21. HarmonK03
    It looks like a base hit in the box score.
  22. HarmonK03
    If they are planning on trading Jeffers, I think he will. He will need to be DFA'd or waived and I think he would be claimed. You can't count on Cardenas as your backup catcher.
  23. HarmonK03
    If he goes on the IL, you need to send down Fedko down if Shelton isn't going to play him You can't play with a three man bench and either two are catchers or one would be Bell if Jeffers DH's. I believe Jeffers will be up regardless on Tuesday unless he has a setback today.
  24. HarmonK03
    I am not so sure it is ego as much as it is their competitive nature. I don't like those challenges either but I think they are getting caught up in the moment and don't want to be down in the count. It is the same reason they don't want pitchers challenging, they are not going to be objective.
  25. HarmonK03
    They will do everything they can to avoid putting him on the IL, they have already shown that.
