    3 BBs in 19 innings, 12 Ks....
  2. mnfireman
    That's tomorrow, getaway day...

    Henriquez = not ready for high leverage situations. Poor choice by ANY manager to put him out there in this situation.
  4. mnfireman
    From the worst bunt attempt I've seen in a long time to a HBP and bases loaded....c'mon Wallner!!
  5. mnfireman
    Kind of disconcerting that Correa is only available every other day...
  6. mnfireman
    And Detroit wins again....
  7. mnfireman
    And that is why Baldelli, Falvey and Levine will not be fired...
  8. mnfireman
    Seen enough....
  9. mnfireman
    No other SS option on this team makes that play. Very few MLB SS trail that play to get the out.

    Good defense helps those pitching stats....
  11. mnfireman
    If a pitcher is confident the guys behind him will make the plays he can trust his stuff and not have to worry about making the perfect pitch, every pitch.

    Unfortunately this is probably what happens...
  13. mnfireman
    He might be of more service in the third base coaches box....
  14. mnfireman
    Thanks, missed that somehow... Next big decision happens when Correa returns....
  15. mnfireman
    Then comes the big question; who gets optioned out? I would like to see Kiersey stay up as insurance, but Baldelli likes playing Margot in CF. Julien, Lee and Martin have played good enough to stay, but with Correa also due back, 2 of them may/will have to be optioned out

    This starts at the top. A team is a reflection of its manager...
  17. mnfireman
    Agreed, but players remember. Competitors want redemption.

    I believe he is referring to 7-28-23. Duran went Manfred man at 2B, K, (SB), BB, (SB), BB and WO GS by Witt Jr. This was also referenced by Rosenthal during the game and several TD posters on the game thread.

    As I stated in the game thread, let's hope this isn't 2022 all over, where injuries and bad BP performance caught up to the team and couldn't be overcome in September.

    About time the team has a closed door meeting!! Maybe some things can get straightened out...

    BOS has 29 comeback wins and 34 blown lead losses and are 5-4 in walk-offs. Cora has a record of 511-440 (.537) and has been to the play-offs 2 times (but has a WS). He also had to sit out 2020 for his part in the Astros sign stealing scandal. Cora also gets a $200 MM pay roll to work with every year. MIN has 35 comeback wins and 29 blown lead losses and are 5-5 in walk-offs. Baldelli has a record of 451-398 (.531) and has been to the play-offs 3 times (finally broke the losing streak). Not defending Baldelli, just showing the numbers that are out there. I also do not think that Cora is one of the best managers in baseball.

    Lewis is 2-4 with a go-ahead HR and BB while actually playing 2B.... He has been at DH his last 3 games and has gone 0-11 with 4 K's... SSS nitpicking I know, but so is the quoted statement.
  23. mnfireman
    Ober was better than any other option tonight. He was cruising, 83 stress-free pitches and the last 15 in a row. The coaching staff over-thought it and cost them the games. Agreed. All the more reason to let Ober try and finish it, or at least the 8th.
  24. mnfireman
    2022 all over again? Injuries and bad BP too much to overcome a September swoon?
  25. mnfireman
    But Duran IS the closer, that is his job. Way to build confidence, tell the closer he's not good enough. Or, maybe Ober should have pitched the 8th and Jax the 9th.
