    Major League players should already know how to play baseball. That’s why they’re professionals. The manager isn’t there to teach fundamentals.

    I don’t know what Baldelli or any manager could possibly say to a Major League player that would get him to throw strikes or field a routine ground ball. The players have to perform. It’s as simple as that.

    I didn’t see anything except the last two batters of the game. What a clown show.

    We have a few options when a player underwhelms: blame the people who put him on the roster, blame the person who does or doesn’t put him in the lineup, blame the player himself, or accept that succeeding in the Majors is extremely difficult. At the end of the day the players have to do their job. Jeffers warrants some patience because of his age and talent, but it’s ultimately on him to reach his potential. This isn’t a video game where players have numerical ratings that automatically determine the quality of their play.

    There's nothing to respect if he winds up getting someone else sick.

    Why? Re the topic of this thread: I hope Simmons hasn't spread the virus through the club house. I also hope he hasn't spread any vaccine skepticism. Sounds like most of the team has already been jabbed, though.

    There might be some town ball in Vergas they could check out. Maybe the coaches would let Vogelbach play shortstop.

    I disagree that they non-tendered Rosario because they thought he was blocking anyone. It seems to me that cost was the issue, and they probably made a choice between him and Cruz.

    The decision to leave him off the 40 man was perfectly reasonable. He hadn’t played a game in two years, and his minor league track record was a little iffy. So no, I very much disagree this is a case of incompetent management. The front office made an educated guess (which is all roster management is), and so far it has not worked out. That said, it’s very early. It’s completely possible Baddoo could be back in the Twins system in a month or two. As a baseball fan, I want him to succeed. He’s an easy guy to root for, and I’m always drawn to the underdog. Every FO misses on some guys. I hope Baddoo winds up being one Falvey wishes he had back.

    I think there are plenty of passionate fans who don’t feel this way.
  11. prouster
    Two things: 1) So far I hate the new extra innings rule. I’ll change my mind when it benefits the Twins. 2) Baddoo is an easy guy to cheer for. No one can be right 100% of the time, and I hope he’s one of the few guys Falvey misjudges.

    I saw the game in bits and pieces. The offense looked really good. Could have been an even wider margin if they didn’t stand a bunch of runners. I didn’t see much of Pineda, but the box score looks just how it should. In the end they took two of three from a good team on the road. Great way to start the season. I also didn’t realize how much I missed seeing real fans in the seats.

    Cool. Me neither.
  14. prouster
    You all realize the Twins won the game, right?
  15. prouster
    U mad?

    96 mph cutters on the black will do that to an offense. Burnes is a legit number 1 pitcher.
  17. prouster
    Great win. Both starters pitched like freaks of nature. Buxton hit a very tough cutter to the opposite field for a dinger. That's very encouraging to me. A hard fought game between two excellent ball clubs.
  18. prouster
    In Dobnak’s defense, he gave up a pretty routine single and a doinker to second base. I was scratching my head when they didn’t walk the batter to set up the force out at home.
  19. prouster
    I think in the long run your point is totally right. The bullpen can’t be expected to pitch to a 2.00-ish ERA all season long.
  20. prouster
    I see what you mean. I just think that they were in a position to close things out pretty easily. That didn’t happen in large part because Colome made some avoidable mistakes.
  21. prouster
    Literal cancel culture
  22. prouster
    This seems like overthinking. Colome entered with a three run cushion and gave up the lead. It's as simple as that, IMO. For the record, I think Colome is a good pitcher and a good guy to sign. He just blew it yesterday.
  23. prouster
    Why do any of that when it feels so good to just foam at the mouth?
  24. prouster
    I'm in full agreement that this is only one game and that no individual loss is worth exerting any mental or emotional energy over. I disagree that Baldelli mismanaged the pen. If Colome did his job, it would have been a pretty smooth win. Baldelli set his players up for success. They have to freaking execute. Edit: I agree, the extra innings rule is garbage.
  25. prouster
    "The bullpen" didn't blow the lead. Colome did.
