    Holy ****.

    Here's the bad news: I don't think there's any possibility the starting pitching is as good in the 2nd half. Some ideas: 1. At a minimum, they HAVE to change hitting coaches, immediately. And hitting philosophy. This is ridiculous. How can someone be hired for a job, produce such awful results, and keep that job? Would any person reading this keep your job with similar results? I'd fire the manager too, he's not very good at it, but at LEAST the hitting coach(s). 2. Buxton is in CF 6 days a week, or on the IL. "Physically incapable?" Then IL him. But I don't buy that line for a second. 3. Gallo, Kepler, Pagan are gone, by tomorrow. Might not help but it might and at least we'd be losing without wasting time on things that just aren't ever going to be assets. 4. Something needs to change with minor league drafting and/or development. Failure after failure. How do we not have a single lineup centerpiece after this much time? Sheesh. Start with that

    I was talking about body language and energy, Mike. You can scoff at that if you wish. Rocco seems to agree with me, but I'd ask Rocco to start by looking on the mirror. You in charge or not, Rocco? https://sports.yahoo.com/twins-manager-baldelli-closes-clubhouse-210133297.html?src=rss

    You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
  6. USAFChief
    I don't think not dismissing Varland, and scoffing at the idea this front office has established any kind of "pitching pipeline" are mutually exclusive
  7. USAFChief
    I was at 2 of these 3 games. Never seen worse body language or energy from a team, and I've been to a fair number of big-league games. I do not understand how nobody has lost their job yet.

    People keep pretending there's such a thing as a "low leverage" reliever. There isn't. But even if there was, why would you want any? "Pagan is valuable in his role" misses the point by miles. The "role" this author is trying to assign to Pagan doesn't exist.

    Have they? Are they?

    All Star, gold glove, 30+ HR free agents make 3 times that. Gallo is none of those things. He's had 30 HRs once since 2018. "SABR darling" might be accurate, and yeah, watching him hit is offensive, to me at least.

    I don't think there's much future in playing for the future. Thinking past the current season in big league baseball is wishful thinking. Got a chance? Go for it. Prospects are Prospects. Most won't end up being big losses and there's always more Prospects.
  12. USAFChief
    I'm in.

    Here's the article from his signing, in case anyone wants to review their original take: https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-sign-joey-gallo-r13403/page/2/ Not much love then, either.

    Kepler homers off a lefty, Rocco loses self control, Maeda Ks 8 in 5 shutout innings. Baseball just never surprises anymore
  15. USAFChief
    The proverbial cup of coffee. Caribou, no doubt.
  16. USAFChief
    I'm too lazy to look it up, but IIRC Bert also suffered 50-some 1-0 losses over his career.
  17. USAFChief
    For some historical perspective, Bert Blyleven had sixty (60). Sixty shutouts.
  18. USAFChief
    Nice job Mr Ryan, nice job.
  19. USAFChief
    I believe Farmer had actually entered the game in the top of the 8th. The walk off hit was his second PA of the game.
  20. USAFChief
    There is no reason Ober should be on any type innings limit...Other than an unproven theory with little or no supporting factual evidence. Let the man pitch. He might get hurt. Pitchers get hurt all the time. If he gets hurt, he misses time, which is exactly what happens if he misses time because he was held out. He also might be just fine, and NOT miss time. A six man rotation is a poor idea, for all the logical reasons listed above.
  21. USAFChief
    Hey, ease off on Gallo... He has four hits already this month.
  22. USAFChief
    No, I think they're just reconfiguring to maximize revenue and/or better utilize space. Center field, for example, was changed from bleacher seats to the two level open areas with no seats but food options, tables and standing areas. The right field area is now seating behind a rail.
  23. USAFChief
    According to this, currently 38,544. 39,504 when opened. Every change since then has resulted in a few less seats. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_Field

    ?? Who is trading for him? Would you?
  25. USAFChief
    Hope isn't a plan, but nothing is actionable. Heh.
