    How about that...Rocco doesn't remove Julien in the middle innings for a 1 AB platoon advantage. Baby steps.

    If he's not making plays others don't make, his defensive impact from CF sucks, too. The entire point of having him play is, having him be better than others. MLB is played at the edge of human performance. Trying to play at 90 percent is futile. Uou won't win, and you're not even guaranteed to stay healthy.

    Why is this thread already in the archives?
  4. USAFChief
    Seriously? Then what's the point of playing him?
  5. USAFChief
    Heh. Paddack. Awesome start.

    All reverse splits are a mirage. All of em

    Makes zero sense to me. Rocco can't wait to PH when a LH reliever enters, but now he's going to let 1 week of results remove his best LH hitters from the lineup? When did he stop believing in the platoon advantage? Pretty substandard manager.

    I doubt Tonkin gets enough plate appearances to make much difference.

    I think, 4 games into the first homestead of the season, it's a little early to make sweeping statements about attendance. That said, I don't know what more the Twins could have done this past winter to reduce enthusiasm about their product. Follow up your first postseason success in decades by almost immediately announcing a huge payroll slash? Check. Show zero interest in bringing your fan favorite and CY runner up back? Check Load up on obscure bullpen pieces nobody has heard of as your offseason strategy? Oh by the way, coincidentally spend the MLB equivalent of nothing doing so? Check Trade long time Twin Polanco for nothing? Coincidentally, reduce payroll as the only benefit visible to fans? Check Add nothing of any real value all winter to the lineup? Check Pinch pennies like scrooge all winter? Check Make one ham-handed, insult-to-fans, "we know better than you rubes" statement after another all winter? Check. So yeah...at the risk of making sweeping statements 10 days in, I think payroll likely is, and will have, a negative effect on attendance. It certainly was a topic of discussion here.

    Concur. The qualities the Twins see in Tonkin: 1. Warm body, at basically zero cost 2. Immediately available, at basically zero cost 3. Basically zero cost
  11. USAFChief
    I was really lucky. Had 2 of em

    Season over.

    The top of the little strike zone box box on TV is about at Muncy's crotch level
  14. USAFChief
    Oh Fer 27, RISP.
  15. USAFChief
    Good for Martin, but how was that even at all close at 2nd??
  16. USAFChief
    Yes.
  17. USAFChief
    Dodgers trade for Glasnow. Twins trade for Desclafani. Kinda the same.
  18. USAFChief
    OMG Julien. WTF?
  19. USAFChief
    Booooooooo. Boo this man.

    Kepler to 10 day IL. Weiss to 60 day. Michael Tonkin acquired from DFA list from Mets for a couple subway tokens.
  21. USAFChief
    (DFA'd by Mets) Michael Tonkin acquired for cash. Kepler to 10 day IL. Weiss to 60 day IL. The ballyhooed bullpen got thin quick.
  22. USAFChief
    They have?
  23. USAFChief
    Among the other questionable manager decisions, don't forget burning Jax with a 2 run deficit.
  24. USAFChief
    Gotta go, ladies and germs. Trivia night. Bring home a W. Or I shall be very put out.
  25. USAFChief
    Wanted to make sure his ERA stayed ahead of Tim Melville, circa 2017?
