    Owed less than $3m for the rest of 2024, too. EDIT: Less than that. $3M of his 2024 compensation was a signing bonus. Salary only $4M. About $1.3M left. No 2025 money committed. Well below average numbers, but I'd prefer him to Festa while Paddack is out.

    One reason would probably be: he had managed to have waiver wire call up Diego Castillo due up after Castro (who didnt bunt as the first hitter). So he managed himself into a corner where his own substitute made it more difficult to play for one (winning) run. And, true to form, Castillo took three straight fastballs for strikes, without so much as even flinching.

    Not useless. Just not as useful or accurate as they used to be, and not the sole measure of defense.
  4. USAFChief
    Is it your contention there weren't multiple claims this spring, right here on TD, regarding the Twins having the best bullpen in baseball? Is that your position?
  5. USAFChief
    His 2024 MLB fielding percentage is .988. Seems the opposite of "erradict."
  6. USAFChief
    I think most of us only call for his head over his job performance as manager.
  7. USAFChief
    Agreed. I guess I fail to see how this piece does that.

    "Emptionally immature losers"? "Knuckle dragging cynics"? "Dimwits"? I was under the impression such childish name calling was out of bounds here at TD. I guess it depends. And for the record, how many dimwits objected to Mauer in the HOF?
  9. USAFChief
    We need an MLB manager.
  10. USAFChief
    Which position is that?
  11. USAFChief
    Be nice if waste-of-space Thielbar hadn't coughed up a run.
  12. USAFChief
    I thought it was 8 games.
  13. USAFChief
    And while I'm ranting, way to still have Caleb Thielbar wasting a spot in the pen.
  14. USAFChief
    See my edit.
  15. USAFChief
    Is it your contention the 4 runs Ryan gave up don't count toward the 8?
  16. USAFChief
    Not even surprised.
  17. USAFChief
    Not for nothing...Castro has the worst BA in MLB with RISP.
  18. USAFChief
    Manny Margot-for-the-season pinch hitting. Well played Rocco.
  19. USAFChief
    Who didn't see that coming? 0-2.
  20. USAFChief
    Stolen base upcoming.
  21. USAFChief
    A little more chalant, Willie, if you please.
  22. USAFChief
    Pfft. We don't steal bases. We don't bunt late in close games when 1 run matters. We don't hit and run. We just stand there.
  23. USAFChief
    You HAVE to sac bunt Buxton there.
  24. USAFChief
    More ridiculously bad baserunning from Castro.
  25. USAFChief
    Heh.
