Twins Being Overwhelmed By Underperformance
MPBoisvert replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I mean, most pre-season predictions put the Twins in last place the AL Central, because so many of these results (presented here by Brooks) were very predictable (e.g. no help for a bullpen anchored by a closer with questionable health). Those that did put the Twins finishing elsewhere by years end, did so with the caveat that *if everything clicks* this team could be good. It kinda seems like the front office crossed their fingers in hopes that everything would click. If it doesn't? "Gee it just didnt work out for our guys." -
The problem with getting mad at a particular bat flip over another is that it employs the famous Supreme Court Justice Stewart line about obscenity - "I know it when I see it." Whether or not people think a bat flip is too much is often a combination of the player's experience or inexperience, the stakes (is the HR "meaningful" or not), and other factors like the player's history against the team, etc. Without any obvious and clear line to cross, it's pretty silly to get mad at the one you've defined for the hitter.
