Acute Gasperitis.

Say what you will, having 33 yr old Jose Urena start games for the rebuilding Twins makes SOOOO much sense.

Yeesh...smallest actual crowd of the year?

Yes. Yes it does. The C situation would be the same if the Twins were battling for the division. The issue is piss poor GM performance. That's not excused because your team sucked elsewhere too. It's also worth remembering that while there's an offseason of course upcoming as of today we're looking at next year's C duo too.

What has 48 legs 47 arms, and 57 teeth?

The 58 PAs is 2025. The 871 is career. Pretty sure you could have figured that out....or did, but thought it would tank your argument. BTW, since you like OPS, care to take a guess what Wallner's OPS is this year in those 58 PAs with runners in scoring position? Spoiler alert: its .490 For the record, he has another 46 PAs with a runner on first in addition to the 58 with RISP. He's had opportunities. It might also interest you to know Wallner has more RBI this season with the bases empty than with any combination of runners on. For his career in those 871 PAs, Wallner has driven in 70 baserunners. I want to see Wallner play every day. But let's not pretend he's been very impactful. He's been a part of the problem this team has in scoring runs.

Yeah, that's what gets me. It's not Gasper, although obviously that's bad enough It's that he very well might BE the best current option for the MLB roster. And there's been only 1 relevant injury. That's some pretty bad GMing

Holy ****! I had no idea Gasper is hitting .394! That's a really impressive BA!

Yeah, I've heard that theory.

Pretty please?

False. He has 27 RBI. But 16 of those are himself. Hes driven in 11 baserunners.

It's mid-August and Wallner has driven in 11 baserunners. Ee-lev-nn. Thats why some of us believe OPS isnt a good measure of actual offense impact. High K, low BA hitters who depend on one swing every 25 PAs tend to be very overrated by OPS. I know considering RBI as a meaningful stat brands me as a Neanderthal. Don't care, so don't bother. RBI are the single most important thing a hitter can do in a baseball game.

There are multiple situations where the contact play is the smart and proper play. But not 2nd and 3rd, no outs.

NOBODY runs the contact play with runners on 2nd and 3rd, no outs. Nobody. Not even Rocco. It's not a situation for the contact play. Which is why, in this particular instance, I tend to think Outman went on his own, by mistake. If you watch the replay, Martin didnt break from second on contact. Further evidence. However, don't confuse this for removing blame from Rocco. His teams are annually among the worst situational base running teams in baseball. It's like they dont know how to play the game. And I'm not talking stolen bases. Or just stolen bases. Tuesday night I counted 4 or 5 bases the As gained on the bases just through proper and aggressive baserunning. 1 for thr Twins. Last night, tie game 9th inning. Fitzgerald on 1st. Buxton hits a high fly ball to the wall in deep CF. Fitzgerald absolutely has to tag up. The ball is easily read off the bat....it's either gone, or will be caught. And it's easily deep enough to tag and gain 2nd. But no. Fitzgerald is halfway and can't tag. Followed, of course, by what SHOULD have been Larnach's walkoff single. Only it's not a walkoff, because Fitzgerald is on 1st, instead of 2nd. We don't score, game goes 10, we lose. BTW, in said 10th inning, for some GD reason, down two runs, Martin tags from 2nd on a fly ball to left center. He makes it, but it's a ridiculously stupid play with no upside. You're down 2, Martin's run means nothing. Why ghe heck are you risking getting thrown out there when there's zero benefit? Just the latest examples of how this team, under this manager, DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO, OR DOESN'T CARE TO, play the game. Keeping Baldelli as manager simply ensures the Twins continue to piss away games, not due to talent, but due to dumbassery.

If I can drop 50 years, 100 lbs, change genders and get some serious plastic surgery, I'll be a supermodel.

Did we see extension details ruling that out?

The asshats cheering for draft lotto are happy.

Pffft It's only 2 of every 5.

They dont play the GD game of baseball.

Apparently
