    Actually Lewis probably had some the best AB's on the team last night other than Correa. So I am not sure why he would be called out. Julien and Lee aren't even playing, so it would be interesting to know who he was referring to. And of course Rocco piled on because his coaching staff can do no wrong and it has to be the players. This is why Rocco is not a good manager for a younger team, he wants them to self police themselves and choose their pre game preparation. Younger players need some direction. And yes the players do have to take responsibility as well but at some point the coaching staff has to evaluate their approach if you aren't getting the desired results, that is management 101.

    What pitcher is hurt, that is the only way Alcala can be brought back up.

    Margot's effort on the flyball in the second inning was pathetic. You are playing for your season and he doesn't go max effort after it, he shouldn't play for the rest of the year for that. It was a catchable ball and helped change the tone of the game.

    That ball would have landed in front of Margot if he was still in the game.

    He has actually had better AB's tonight, going with the pitch more. Want more hits, but he hasn't been trying to pull everything.
  6. karcherd
    We sent Alcala down for this, he at least has better stuff.

    Every reliever we face Morneau makes them sound like they are all the next Mariano Rivera. Other teams are hitting these guys, maybe not all the Cleveland pitchers but come on quit making excuses. Yes pitchers have more movement but batters are also seeing it more and adjusting to it. Morneau makes it sound like the batters don't even have a chance against every pitcher.

    Yes let's resign Santana, he has been so clutch this month.

    Margot cost us at least three runs and he was supposed to be the backup in CF. This front office can not identify talent at all.
  10. karcherd
    No rush on that one Margot, take your time, it's not like we are playing for the playoffs.

    Wallner

    He couldn't beat out Cade Povich and his 5.59 era for the fifth starter for a playoff team. A team that has two other starters out injured. But yeah we will fix him like every other pitcher from Misfit Island.

    Are you talking about the spending from last year where they spent $11m on Gallo. While ownership deserves their share of blame, this front office has shown a spotty track record on utilizing their resources in an efficient manner. Should the payroll be at $200 just for the sake of it, I would prefer we get a front office that knows how to run a major league franchise and give them the resources needed.

    They have no regular players other than Correa and Buxton when healthy. And Santana because he is a switch hitter. Every other player on the roster is a role player and they think that they can just put them in a matchup or position and they will be successful because it looks good on paper.

    Nothing says we are playing for the playoffs like having Margot leadoff. How can you take this team seriously when they won't even put their 9 best players on the field.

    Forecast was for rain tonight.

    In regards to a possible extension for the dynamic duo, remember they did not announce Baldelli's until almost a year later after they were asked about it. For some reason this organization doesn't announce these types of moves, I am thinking they have received extensions. And I hope I am wrong.
  18. karcherd
    This was the wrong decision and as long they solely manage by analytics they will continue to make wrong decisions. There was no reason not to let Zebby go one more batter, you can't build a pitching staff large enough to avoid pitching thru a lineup three times every time thru the rotation.

    I can understand not signing Gray to a contract of 3 years at his age. But the real mistake was thinking Paddack would be the replacement. He has had two TJ surgeries where there is minimal history of pitchers of coming back from this scenario with limited success. Not to mention he has had one good season in his rookie year in 2019. This front office does not know how to run a major league franchise, I wouldn't trust them with an increased budget either. The Pohlads need to jettison the tiresome trio and start over with new leadership.

    The Gold Glove first baseman needs to play that grounder more aggressively, he has made a lot of great plays, but he has also cost runs. And today he cost us three runs.
  21. karcherd
    We will never truly know, that is my point. This front office has been risk averse and not very proactive. It is easy to say it is only ownership without knowing. I am saying I think it is on both.
  22. karcherd
    And when has this front office been the first team to make a move. They let the market play out and are not aggressive and that is why their moves don't work out more than they do. I am not pro ownership but it feels a lot like there is a lot of twisting thoughts into making them known as facts to fit a narrative.
  23. karcherd
    We don't know if it was ownership or the FO that caused the inactivity at the trade deadline. Ownership has stepped up in the past when needing money at the trade deadline and they knew more about the tv deal for this year at the deadline. The FO has a history of waiting out the market even when they have money to spend and then scrambling to make a move after every other team has. This happened in both the offseason and at the trade deadline. This front office is risk averse and I don't think they should be given a pass, because I believe based on their history they sat back and then there was nothing left because they were passive.
  24. karcherd
    No because he wouldn't be available to pinch hit then.
  25. karcherd
    Rocco actually mentioned the other day that he is aware of the record, but Margot has a low strikeout rate and makes contact and that he would still let him pinch hit.
