    Bert is in the bag? Nothing new there. :-)
  2. jimmer
    I just recorded that movie again. Must have seen it 20 times so far.
  3. jimmer
    for example, he just scored on a play he wouldn't have scored on from 2B.

    trying for third with ONE out has merit.
  5. jimmer
    bunt attempt? really?
  6. jimmer
    already not on the same page?

    One of the worst umpires in the game, and certainly the biggest jerk, is behind the plate today. Fun.

    yeah, I don't know what games were being watched then. Perhaps the unsustainable triples and OF assists clouded the eyes of some a bit. Some have said his 2015 offensive season was pretty awesome, even though he got on base less than 29% of the time. In any event, he's a second year player who has already made more mental mistakes this year than should happen in a couple seasons combined. Sophomore slumps are one thing, mental mistakes over and over are inexcusable. If he plays smart, he has very good defensive tools, but like Gomez when he first came up, if he can't put the smarts together with that, that's a problem..

    yeah, I don't know, except maybe track records of veterans having rare instances of mental errors instead of young players who have no history of smart play continuously making the same mental mistakes over and over.

    White Sox owner, specifically, would block Cuban and apparently he has a lot of pull/support among owners There's some strong dislike there, apparently.

    Or, on the play before, he could have tagged up at 2B on an obvious fly out and advanced to third on the throw home instead of going halfway between 2B and 3B and running back to 2B after the catch as the throw went home. Then there was him throwing home when he had no chance and letting a runner advance to a base that shouldn't have been able to, and not going aggressively after a fly ball that dropped between him and shortstop. And so on, and so on. Continuous mental mistakes get old as a fan imagine as a manager. Puig and Gomez type of mental mistakes without the offensive tools to counter.

    But they also put all the blame on the players. So they believe the mess is all about the players and not the roster put together or the management of it. It's always been hard to value their opinion on things and it's getting harder each year. And, as a side note, some research before doing a broadcast, so they don't get info blatantly wrong, wouldn't hurt them either.

    As I wrote earlier, that's not true. The voted in players select members of the all star game as well. The players select more than the fans or the managers.

    The voted in players select members of the all star game as well. In fact, as far as selecting members, the players select more than the fans or the managers.

    I think the reputation of our strong farm system is likely taking a major hit based on results at the MLB level. As far as the two facilities, do we have to stretch that far to make the job appealing?
  16. jimmer
    He hasn't pitched for two weeks so far.
  17. jimmer
    I think I pretty much said the same thing later in this thread, but for sure. I agree.
  18. jimmer
    He should bat 2nd. I agree with that whole-heartedly. On this team, 7th would be ridiculous. Who are the six guys who should get more at bats than the guy with the .380+ OBP?
  19. jimmer
    Yeah, like when Jim Pohlad said he thought it was logical to believe that since they won 83 games last year they'd win even more this year. As if it works that way.
  20. jimmer
    While I agree with the practice, the problem with suggesting the young guys need to force their way onto this ML squad is that the talent level of the people they would be working to replace on this team is very low. This roster is a full blown mess, regardless of some trying to say otherwise to deflect blame off Ryan.
  21. jimmer
    Rosarios 'great' offense last year was a result of unsustainable amount of triples. I can't get behind the idea he had a great offensive season when he had an OBP sub .290.
  22. jimmer
    not sure we can stop at just OF when we say that. IF? Catcher?
  23. jimmer
    just keep telling yourself, defense doesn't matter, especially corner OF.
  24. jimmer
    Between the very poor performance and the mental mistakes, he really doesn't deserve to stay in the majors. Then again, this is a lost season so do we let the supposed future play and gain experience while taking lumps or do we replace the future with also bad players like Grossman? It's sad our vaunted farm system can't seem to produce players who can hack it yet and we resort to players like Grossman.
  25. jimmer
    He could have spent more instead of settling for Ervin...and didn't. 5-7 M more a year likely gets us a truly quality guy. Instead he signs supposed mid-level guys like Hughes, Nolasco and Ervin Santana. Yes, now, Mauer's contract looks bad but it didn't for a few years and I believe only the concussion caused the downfall.
