  1. Not really even a good story. He's been earning 7 figures to eat minor league innings. Not like any of us wouldn't do that.
  2. Not sure RPR knows Jim Thome had a whole career outside his time here.
  3. I'm confused. Firing Martin won't fix the problem. Martin isn't the cause of the problem. We saw the Twins squander a run last night though incredibly bad baserunning. Inexcusable. "No big deal" says the chorus. Meanwhile, tonight, the Cubs get a run home from first on a single. Same situation. This stuff matters.
  4. Done and done. A year too late, but better late than never.
  5. Let's put together some ABs here and get this ragarm put of the game.
  6. That's 100 percent coaching. A manager in any profession gets precisely the quality workforce he accepts. Martin obviously knows his manager doesn't care about stuff like that. He's a rookie...do you seriously think he does that if he's worried about consequences?
  7. Martin got abused. We're not a well coached team.
  8. Said it in the first inning, b4 the HR. Every swing was timed up perfectly. Including the outs.
  9. Every swing that half inning was right on time. Not one bad swing
  10. Lots of good swings off Lopez so far. Edit: heh. Yup
  11. Margot LF Santana 1b Lewis DH Miranda 3b Castro SS Martin CF Kepler RF Vazquez C Lee 2b
  12. It wasn't close. And it was ridiculously bad baserunning. He apparently forgot how many outs there were. Should have scored standing up without even a thought of a throw. Even if he thought there were less than two outs, he ran the bases poorly. He had rounded second when he stopped, for some reason, and had there been one out and the ball caught, he'd have likely been doubled off first. So even the "forgot how many outs" excuse was bad bad baserunning. And all of that ignores him not being at SECOND base to start that AB, which he should have, since he should have tagged from first on Lewis' sac fly immediately before the play in question. It cost the team a run. Ended up not costing a win, but that's beside the point.
  13. One thing I found odd: top 9, Twins lead 2-0. Twins put runners on 1st and 3rd, no outs. Cubs play infield halfway in, closer to double play depth than in...Jeffers hits a sharp ground ball to short. They elect to turn two, granting the Twins a 3rd run. Why would they do that? I think you HAVE to play to prevent that run from scoring. Odd.
