    I would be surprised, no stunned, if 90% of pro team owners didn’t have final say over head coach/manager. That’s literally the public face of the team. He’s the guy in front of the camera before and after almost every game. He is on the sidelines for every game. Do I have inside info that this is the case? Of course not. And I’ll bet you don’t either. But ask yourself which makes more sense and which is their greater evidence of?

    Shouldn’t Molitor shoulder some of the responsibility for that total system failure? Were it not for Jim Pohlad publicly saying Molitor was safe, he probably would have been fired two years ago. More to the point, if it had been Derek Falvey’s decision, he probably would have been fired two years ago.

    That works when you have probably a 9 or 10 man pitching staff and therefore 6 or 7 bench players. That becomes extremely difficult to do with a 3 man bench.

    Overall, he’s 227-259.

    Isn’t that what W/L record kinda does?

    According to b-ref, attendance is down more than 1000 per game. That doesn’t factor in the two home games in Puerto Rico, from which the revenue was donated. And I would expect the per game averages to get worse as the team was in the race last year. I expect attendance to be off more than 100 K when the PR games are factored in.

    If Ssntiago keeps pitching there, we’re going to see in play, runs.

    Really having a hard time figuring out why Santiago remains in the game after allowing the first two batters to reach. Did MOY get traded to Chicago?

    This may be the second time I have typed this this season. Hector Santiago. Interesting choice in this situation.

    Oliver Drake. All he does is get outs. 6 pitches. That was refreshing.

    So that leaves Rosario and ???? You really counting on Buxton to be a star? I don’t think anyone else is. I think the BEST case scenario at this point is that he hits well enough to actually hold onto a regular job.

    I like Tom Prince. IMO he gets a MLB job offer somewhere this offseason. He spent 11 years managing in the minors and the last two years as bench coach at the MLB level. I don’t know how much longer Hurdle plans to stay a manager, but Prince isn’t that much younger. Perhaps he will need to leave his comfort zone (Pirate organization) to get a shot.

    I note a couple of people in the round table seemed to imply that Molitor’s fate rests in the hands of Thad Levine and/or Derek Falvey. Jim Pohlad may be one of the most “hands off” owners in pro sports, but I think you are kidding yourselves if you believe he doesn’t ultimately decide who the manager is and when or if that individual is fired.

    I think the upper echelon starters will always be. But, I think where openers are likely to stick is with a team’s 4th and 5th slots. Odorizzi types. Maybe not for every team, but “bullpen games” are not really a new concept either. Every team will look at their roster and do what they think best gives them a chance to win.

    This game is just cruising right along.
  16. yarnivek1972
    Would you expect Molitor to say he’s trying to not win games? With regard to piggybacking, if it is something Falvine wants to do and Molitor refuses, there is an easy solution.
  17. yarnivek1972
    My guess is hit and run.
  18. yarnivek1972
    Are any of them “don’t shoot nobody”?
  19. yarnivek1972
    I think everyone thought Kepler had that.
  20. yarnivek1972
    How is it possible that Tony Oliva has lived in this country and this STATE for 60-70 years and still speaks broken English? I’m not trying to make any kind of political statement. I just don’t understand how he hasn’t picked up better English over that time.

    Laudner is praising Sano’s fielding after he misplayed a ball into a “hit” less than an hour ago?
  22. yarnivek1972
    You know, same day weather forecasting is extremely accurate these days. If I’m the manager and I see that it’s going to pour less than an hour into a game, I probably give the ball to a reliever for an inning or two and bring (arguably) my best guy in after the rain.
  23. yarnivek1972
    Bremer thought it was a clear swing.
  24. yarnivek1972
    CB Bucknor of course.
  25. yarnivek1972
    ...the “rebuilding” team that has 10 players on it’s active roster that will be 28 or older by the end of the year?
