    Aug 7, 2016, as a member of the White Sox. 0 for 4 with 2 K's.

    Their failure to build this year's bullpen means they have "plenty of time" to build the next one? And they start on that by trading one of the few talented pen arms they have? I can understand trading Rogers, but doing so will be about hope for 2023 and beyond, not 2022.

    I used to think starting pitching was the single most important element in building a winning baseball team. While that's still important, I have come to the opinion that a deep and powerful bullpen is much more likely to lead to winning. For one thing, starters pitch fewer and fewer innings. But even more importantly, consistently winning the last 4 innings results in more wins than winning the first 5. I wonder what the Twins record would be if they had started the year with Cleveland's pen.

    Add some **** poor baserunning from Arraez in the 10th to the list of **** poor play.

    The Twins should absolutely market Berrios. No brainer. He's not going to sign here, and he's not really all that good anyway. More name and hope than production. As for Buxton, make him the best offer you can. If he accepts, hope he stays healthy. If he declines, market him as well. Sell everybody on a one year deal, listen to offers for Kepler.

    Never let someone tell you RBI aren't a very important measure of offensive performance.
  7. USAFChief
    Uffda this team is bad.
  8. USAFChief
    Yes.

    Every person on the field, in both dugouts, and both bullpens--including Mercedes--knew what the issue was. Complain about unwritten rules if you will, but dont pretend he didn't know them.
  10. USAFChief
    I could not disagree more. I love the fact there are norms and expected behavior in major league baseball. And BTW, the "unwritten rules" prevent way more conflict than they cause. Every person on both teams knew exactly what was wrong with that 3-0 swing. I only wish Duffey had buried a FB in the guy's ribs.
  11. USAFChief
    Kudos to Sano. And huge kudos to Duffey for showing some indication somebody on this team gives a ****.
  12. USAFChief
    That would depend on the question.
  13. USAFChief
    The whole idea of "#5 starter" is a false concept anyway. Starts by every member of the rotation count the same. Don't sign below average guys to take 20 percent of your starts. Sign above average guys. Trade for above average guys. The games started by your "5th starter" count just as much as your "number 1" starter. Aim for 5 number 1's. Or 6, or 8.

    This team has taken away every bit of joy I get from watching baseball.
  15. USAFChief
    There wasn't even any need to communicate. Rortvedt is facing third base, the play is right in front of him. He can SEE the runner from 2nd almost to third by the time he throws. All he has to do is NOT throw. A little league catcher makes that play.
  16. USAFChief
    And personally, I hope Garver goes on a hot streak, so he can be dumped at the deadline. His defense is just too bad.
  17. USAFChief
    Does this manager spend ANY time at all, spring training or regular season, drilling the basics of how to play the game of baseball into his team?
  18. USAFChief
    Then booooo on the front office for planning for this
  19. USAFChief
    This team plays some pretty bad baseball. Errors, poor execution, out of position, illogical baserunning, bad pitch selection, too many K's. The list goes on and on. At least a portion of that falls on the manager.
  20. USAFChief
    Winnah. My heart isn't in it, but... Winnah.
  21. USAFChief
    How does Larnach not pinch hit for Refsnyder? My comment stands no matter the outcome.
  22. USAFChief
    That's a terrible AB by Arraez. 1-0 pitch, you cannot swing at a pitch you can only pop up to left. Awful.
  23. USAFChief
    What were the odds the Twins fail to score with 1st and 3rd, no outs? 80 percent? 90? This is no fun to watch, and I LOVE to watch baseball.
  24. USAFChief
    We're at rock bottom if the rotting corpse of Matt Shoemaker occupying a slot in the Twins rotation out of spring training isn't a disappointment. What did you expect?
  25. USAFChief
    I'm too lazy to look it up...when was the last time the Twins got a 2 out RBI hit? Week 2?
