    Pretty mild criticism of a team that will lose 100 games, and 550-plus over 6 seasons. And yet, the closest any Twins beat writer has come to calling out the team in my lifetime.
  2. USAFChief
    I don't think any of those three statements are true.

    edit: whoops...this is for later in the week.

    Didn't Sano say he needs to be lighter? Two years in a row now?

    I get the feeling if Reusse wrote an article declaring the sun will rise again tomorrow, some people would attack Reusse for questioning the sun's character for setting tonight. And then declare Reusse wrong in the morning when the sun rises. It's ok, folks, to admit you were wrong. Sano needs some maturation and some self discipline. Not uncommon for 20-somethings. He himself has said the same. Didnt exactly follow through last winter. Hopefully he does this winter. But Attacking Reusse just makes you look worse than either Sano or Reusse.

    Pretty sure he was referring to the "Chief and Brian" part.

    I've settled on 20 minutes of Molitor on the pregame show, made necessary as filler during a rain delay, explaining that Grossman and Schafer are in the lineup because, with Kepler down, he only has three OFers. In September. 15 man bench time. And the kicker...two of the three were in season minor league free agent scrap heap signs. If that's not a giant middle finger to the fan base, I've never seen one.

    Seriously...they have absolutely zero regard for us as fans, running this collection out there night after night. I feel bad or Dozier. If I was him I'd be asking out. This is not a major league team. This is not a major league manager. It's just sad.

    Debate? It's settled case law. Mary Ann.

    I just consider those posts the low point of a thread full of low points.

    This is all true, except the bolded. It's gotten to the point where it's ridiculously hard to be charged with an error. Anything on the edge of anyone's range is going to be ruled a hit, not an error. I seriously doubt anyone is racking up errors because they're diving for balls that are passed other fielders, and not coming up with the play cleanly. There are occasionally errors charged to outfielders that really aren't their fault...they make a good throw, the ball kicks off the runner, and runner(s) advance. Error charged, but no real misplay was made. Outside of that, charged errors, particularly to infielders, can be reasonably assumed to be legit. An out should have been recorded, and wasn't, or an extra base(s) gained that shouldn't have been. And so errors are one of the things that need to be considered. I also find it ironic that people often scoff at errors because "it's just a judgement call, made by a human," but then turn around and swear by advanced defensive metrics, which rely on humans making judgement calls based on taped replays.

    Huh...When Reusse says Sano could stand to spend some time working on baseball, and lose some weight, he gets vilified. EDIT: withdrawn, as I've been scooped.
  15. USAFChief
    yes.
  16. USAFChief
    I hope you're right. But, again, I'll be mildly surprised if you are.
  17. USAFChief
    Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion man.
  18. USAFChief
    I wonder if Molitor notices other teams running relievers out there for only an inning at a time, in most cases?
  19. USAFChief
    Hard to dive when you're already flat on your back.
  20. USAFChief
    Body language says a lot.
  21. USAFChief
    He's had three years off, what's another couple games?
  22. USAFChief
    Cancel the post game press conference.
  23. USAFChief
    A little disappointing??
  24. USAFChief
    Spoiler alert...perfect game in progress.
