    Twins teams under TK were often undermanned. But they were rarely outplayed. He tried damn hard make sure of that. They threw to the proper base. Knew how to execute cutoff throws. Drop a bunt, and field one. Slow down opponent running games. When and how to gain a base on offense. Those things, and a million other baseball things mattered. He took steps to ensure them, and didn't easily tolerate it when they didn't happen. Those things seem to me a punchline now. At the least an afterthought. Baseball is a game. A team game. There's an art to playing it well, in addition to science. I'd like to see a manager who understands and appreciates that.

    LH reliever on the mound.

    Hey, didn't you used to be Jhoan Duran?
  4. USAFChief
  5. USAFChief
    But the manager is blameless.
  6. USAFChief
    And then effing Duran cant get the K on 0-2.
  7. USAFChief
    0-2 HBP, then the inevitable ground ball up the middle. That's 100 percent on Duran.
  8. USAFChief
    Breaking out the Duran show at TF. Been a while

    Wallner isn't slow. I send him there 100 percent of the time and make the opposition throw him out. I think he beats that short hop that wasnt handled cleanly in this case. But either way, chances are better than getting a 2 out hit.
  10. USAFChief
    Should have sent him
  11. USAFChief
    Man Raleigh hits the ball hard a LOT.
  12. USAFChief
    Dont the Twins have an option on Bader for next year?
  13. USAFChief
    As soon as there were 2 on and nobody out that felt as inevitable as the sun rising tomorrow
  14. USAFChief
    Rocco has appealed to league offices
  15. USAFChief
    Meltdown in progress
  16. USAFChief
    Just have em stand there, Baldelli. Not to mention Larnach had a free single if he just bunts hard toward 3rd. Wide open. And none of the Twins LH hitters even try, FFS. Infuriating.
  17. USAFChief
    Prolly a better player than Bride.
  18. USAFChief
    "The Pitching Pipeline" is one of the all time great TD creations. Repeated so many times, by so many, it became a punchline.
  19. USAFChief
    4, actually. 2026, 27, 28, and 29. He'll be eligible for free agency in 2030, provided he stays in the big leagues till then and doesn't sign any kind of multi-year contract, of course. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wallnma01.shtml The point being refuted is the erroneous "40 percent better than average" one. He's not, by any measure. Its just BS repeated over and over by one poster. And THIS season he's slightly below league average BTW.
  20. USAFChief
    Can you stop saying this? Its not accurate. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wallnma01.shtml
  21. USAFChief
    "Fanbase irrationality?" Look in the mirror.
  22. USAFChief
    It gets harder and harder to support this organization. Baldelli is awful, and that shouldn't be controversial.
  23. USAFChief
    You gotta be ******* kidding me.
  24. USAFChief
    I NEVER leave a baseball game early. I just walked out of TF. Disgusted.
  25. USAFChief
    One would think the manager would have noticed. He's got a pretty good seat.
