    I think what's in question is where was the batter/runner when the ball went out of play.
  2. USAFChief
    I went to several July/August games and it was clear Lewis wasn't running well. However, today's effort was pretty pathetic.
  3. USAFChief
    Nice hustle, Royce.
  4. USAFChief
    And a runner scores from second on a hard hit ball to RF. Huh.
  5. USAFChief
    Well ****.
  6. USAFChief
    It's...weird. Almost as weird as Santana's pants.
  7. USAFChief
    Concur!
  8. USAFChief
    Looking good through 1/2 inning.
  9. USAFChief
    Larnach never sees a strike and K's on 5 pitches. Sigh...
  10. USAFChief
    How about putting up some early runs for a change?
  11. USAFChief
    You are correct. I missed that. It does not change anything.
  12. USAFChief
    One wonders why Helman instead of Kiersey in the first place.
  13. USAFChief
    Last year. 26 seem to agree.

    Common sense? How's about some data? You asked for Correa. He went on the IL July 20. The Twins had played 96 games Correa: 75. Four batting order positions: 2, 3, 4 and 5. So he does it with the TWINS best player...why would you just assume he wouldn't do it if Witt were a Twin? Rocco benches his best players all the time. C'mon. This has been discussed ad nauseum. "Maintenance days" etc etc etc. "Scheduled day off." Buxton, even when available, never goes even two series back go back. He'll play Willi Castro pretty much every day, this year. I'll give you that. Which isn't a good thing, BTW, for multiple reasons.

    You base this on what?
  16. USAFChief
    Kansas City has played 141 games this season. Bobby Witt Jr has played 141 games this season. 140 at SS. One at DH. He has batted in the following lineup spots: 2nd. Yup, that's it. 2nd. Now tell me what that would look like if he played for Rocco. BTW, Aaron Judge has played 138 games this season. The Yankees: 140 He's hit in the following lineup spots: 3rd. Ohtani: 137 games. But you got us, he's somehow been thrown all over the lineup. He's batted both 1st and 2nd.

    So easy to smugly dismiss the idea, but no actual defense of the manager. To the OP: preach, The Twins need a MLB manager. This has been pretty evident for a couple years now.
  18. USAFChief
    I wish, but sadly, no. Enjoy!
  19. USAFChief
    This is completely incorrect. The runner from first was off with the pitch--as I said in my first post--but there was time to get the force at 2nd. Not even a question. Here's the play, stop-actioned below. Lewis has the ball in his glove at this point: Can you at least admit the infield was NOT playing in? They were HOPING for a DP. Why throw home? A team can just throw bodies at any position willy-nilly, with zero regard for how they play there, but there will be consequences. Lewis pretty clearly doesn't know what he's doing. Hell, he broke for second on a hit to right on the first. WTH?
  20. USAFChief
    ,Ben Rortvedt delivered a grounder to Lewis, again with the infield drawn in, and he made the pick but blew the throw home, allowing Carlson to score. Both runners advanced The Twins didnt have the infield drawn in. They were, at most, halfway...allowing for a possible DP. Lewis fielded that grounder about halfway onto the dirt, BEHIND the baserunners path. Even with the runner off from first, it was a tailor made DP ball, catcher running, fielded cleanly, and the Twins would have been out of the inning, down 3-0 even with the previous hijinks...had Lewis simply initiated the DP. But of course Lewis has no experience at 2nd. Mistake throw home, gets nobody, tragedy unfolds. Pretty tired of anybody can play anywhere.
  21. USAFChief
    I would totally start Matthews tomorrow on regular rest and start Lopez Friday in KC. Makes too much sense I guess.
  22. USAFChief
    To be fair I think the Twins were ahead of KC at the time of the claim and wouldn't have gotten Pham even if they wanted him.
  23. USAFChief
    I'd prefer him to Margot. At least Gallo can play the position, and he'll run into one every other month or so.
  24. USAFChief
    In his defense, it's not like there was some intense baseball game to watch.
  25. USAFChief
    Be interesting now if they hadn't totally imploded. Like, if Lewis turns two.
