    Sorry that's impossible. Does he have a hole in his glove? It went beyond his glove. Did he have a play? Maybe. What we have here is more over reaction. Fire this. The worst that. Calm down. With that bat I would give him more time. The Twins seem to agree.
  2. wabene
    What is the point of this distinction? Just for criticism? Seems irrelevant that the trade was a few days before the deadline.
  3. wabene
    To be fair to Julien that ball was 15 feet from the bag. That's the correct call.

    Thanks for the report, Ken!

    Could happen that way, or Ryan could get healthy, learn his lesson and repay the team with a stretch run like his first half.
  6. wabene
    Hopefully they are planning on getting Buxton ready for the field upon his return for the stretch run and beyond, damn the torpedos, lol
  7. wabene
    Wouldn't you want his optimum performance down the stretch and in the playoffs? If moderating his time behind the plate and instead giving him at bats at DH perseveres this version of Jeffers, that's the way I'd go.
  8. wabene
    You might be right, but DH is a bad pigeon hole for a promising player that young. Try left field then, try anything.

    I think he can be pretty good at second. He is quick and might have more range than Polanco. Just needs to be better when he gets to the ball. If Kirilloff is out then and Lewis back for third, then yes Polanco at second and Julien at first. This assumes Buxton is back at DH.

    This is more like his market than the 20m the qualifying offer pays. Hard to know what Kenta wants but as mentioned above he is the kind of pitcher that ages well. He has had a slight tear in his UCL since before he came to MLB which is why he ended up with that incentive laden contract. He may be stronger now than he had been. Here's an idea. For the playoffs Kenta could be a very useful weapon out of the pen. His contact pays better if he starts so he doesn't like that move. Well negotiate a new two year, incentive free deal now with the stipulation the he agrees to bullpen work in the playoffs if necessary.

    Many are saying this but the only way Julien gets better at second is to play. Kirilloff looks good at 1st and is fine in the COF. That flexibility is useful. I would agree to Julien adding 1st base to his skill set later but right now 2nd and DH are enough on his plate.

    Welp Timmy, that chin check is now immortalized. Sorry, I've always liked and respected Mr Ramirez, Tim Anderson? Not so much
  13. wabene
    Man the Sox defense is laughable, lol
  14. wabene
    Ramirez swinging for the fences like a Twin, lol
  15. wabene
    I bet ya Jackie Robinson had a better chin than The New Jackie Robinson, lol.

    Milk Schmilk, where's the booze?

    In honor of Mr Mauer somebody's gotta have a drink. I've got that covered, trust me
  18. wabene
    We don't need no strike zone control
  19. wabene
    Jeffers is looking good, the new approach is a much more complete hitter. Wallner is not just swinging for the fences either
  20. wabene
    Got a little choked up... Now let's kick some ass
  21. wabene
    Do people remember how terrible this franchise has been for the last 50 years outside of the 5 division winners in the aughts and the championship teams?
  22. wabene
    It's this really true or just a false narrative? They are middle of the pack in payroll befitting there market size. Wasn't Terry Ryan given similar budgets, but took pride in not spending all the money?
  23. wabene
    How do you know I'm not really Derek Falvey?
  24. wabene
    Does every post have to include firing the manager?
  25. wabene
    Sonny just ate up with that two seamer
