A fly ball dropping in because of the sun doesnt excuse the next half hour of the same inning.

This stupid idea has completely NOT worked and ends up with the Twins so short on available pitching in the big leagues they have to DFA SWR simply because they're short in the pen for one day. This idea doesn't prepare pitchers for any role they'll need to perform in the big leagues. Minor league 28 man rosters, with 14 - 15 pitchers and regular off days, with shorter seasons, might work. But it's a terrible idea for preparation for the show. You simply cannot tie up two pitchers that can only be used once every 5 days, and on the same day. And thats assuming they DO actually pitch 4 innings each. Which they sometimes won't, because almost no pitcher has the stuff to get through 4 innings every time.

You are correct...as events unfolded, it ended up not mattering, in terms of runs scored. However, IMO that doesn't excuse extremely poor baserunning. Keaschall should have scored easily on Buxton's ball off the top of the wall in right. Run in, runners on 2nd and 3rd. You can't excuse poor baserunning simply because it was overcome by events. Poor baserunning is poor baserunning.

Again...the OP asked us to pick one or the other.

Pretty awful baserunning there, Luke. -
There's no point in dumping Lewis for pennies on the dollar right now. Give it a while. He's not expensive and not clogging the 40 man.

I'd assume increases in revenue sharing.

Image courtesy of © Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Long-time Twin Joe Ryan is having another fine season...and would almost certainly bring a haul in trade. What should Jeremy Zoll do? Nick Nelson lays out his ideas here...what are yours? I was strongly of the opinion Rocco Baldelli's tenure as Twins manager needed to come to an end. Well, that happened. What do we think of Derek Shelton? I'm a big proponent of a firm salary cap. I think MLB badly needs one, and needs one immediately. Brock Beauchamp would like your take on the cap/floor question here: View full article

Adding to either roster only serves to further concentrate talent in a couple organizations. We need less concentration, not more.
-
No problem with that, but the OP question asks me to choose one or the other. I care about the health of MLB. That leaves only one answer. Cap.
-
Cap. Easily. MLB cannot long survive without fixing the talent imbalance.

First post in this thread. Screenshot below:

For much of the past century, since the deadball era, the magic number in MLB is 5. Score exactly 5 runs/game, you'll win more than lose. Score 4, you'll lose more than you win. There's been a couple short exceptions. The late 90's, early 2000s saw that number reach 6 in several seasons. Occasionally, particularly through the 60s and 70s, the number was 4. I know this doesn't address the issue at hand--variability--but I've always found it interesting. If you could somehow put up 810 runs, exactly 5 per game, you likely have one of the best regular season teams in baseball.

That was '84, not '86.
-
800 left turns. Boring.
-
Now that was one ****** pitch.

I have a friend from France staying at my house, and my cat attacked him. His name is Claude.
