    Well, the team does swing at a lot of breaking pitches off the plate.....

    Tigers and Royals advance. 3 of 4 teams in the Divisional Series are from the Central....still the weakest Division in MLB??

    He said he was tired......

    Baseball Reference has him listed as Pre-arb, FanGraphs has him listed as Arb1. Not sure which is correct.

    He's been doing a pretty good (bad?) job of making sure he isn't left on base recently.... It's been so bad it is kind of comical, and he's still killing potential rallies...

    Hate it or not, tonight's error by Farmer was his 2nd of the season...
  8. mnfireman
    Santana again at that....

    Lee was injured to start the season and has 282 PA at AAA, he was rushed due to the injuries and ineffectiveness - who else is getting called up when Correa, Lewis, Miranda, Julien, Farmer, et al are injured and/or not performing, Keaschal was also injured/not available. Maybe an injury free off-season will allow him to work on things.

    Like him or hate him, on the radio Gladden stated that with the infield back, as it was, the third base coach is supposed to let the runner know to wait for ball to get past the pitcher before breaking for home. This is how the team has always done it (it's also how I learned and how I coached it). No "contact play" when the IF is playing back (conceding the run). So who failed to do their job, Watkins or Martin? Probably both.

    Also, 12-24 since the implosion in Texas....

    Things a major league baseball player should know how to do: Catch the ball (Jeffers), run the bases (Martin out at HP on a comebacker, Santana doubled-off 2B on a bunt attempt), bunt a baseball (Jeffers), hit a fly ball when needed (Lewis in the 11th, also swung at 2 pitches badly out of the zone in this PA); things learned in Little League. This was just last night. This also does not touch on a whole season of sending/holding runners at 3B (Watkins), leaving pitchers in too long/removing them too early (Baldelli) or basically not having a feel for how the game is going that night/day. This team is fundamentally poor in all facets of the game (not just relying on the three true outcomes). 3 run HR's might get you Manager of the Year one year, but you actually have to manage (and your team has to execute) when you don't get them. (By the way Baldelli's Twins are 356-349 since the Bomba season of 2019)

    '09 Twins calling current team a bunch of p**sies, except for the '09 player in the broadcast booth....

    Seattle has the day off, unfortunately, but a Twins win gives them a full game lead over that team out West. They will know how half the division did before first pitch tonight, not that they should need ANY type of motivation to keep getting W's...

    Looking at Baseball Reference the Twins estimated payroll for 2025 is $175.5 MM if no options are exercised, $193.2 MM if all options are exercised. FanGraphs does not have a payroll estimator for 2025. I'm thinking all roster options for next season are already in the Twins system, be it MLB or MiLB. Going to be a lot of upset TD posters this off-season...

    Couldn't tell by watching him run recently...
  21. mnfireman
    That 1, 2, 3 inning hurt me a lot....
  22. mnfireman
    I don't think he's run 27.5 ft/sec in quite awhile...
  23. mnfireman
    Well, he scored a run on a throwing error...
  24. mnfireman
    Even the good gets tempered with a bit of the bad....
  25. mnfireman
    Agreed. Season on the line and Buxton his playing his best...
