Sooo...he just ignores it then?  Not his problem?

I have no idea what Molitor's doing about the poor fundamentals, if anything. 

 

It does seem like something that wouldn't have happened under Gardy or TK but then again, maybe the minor leagues were in better shape during those years. 

 

Wouldn't be surprised if there were a bit of both going on.

Gardy was complaining that he was spending too much time teaching fundamentals. They've been eroding for a while.

Agreed. It plays into the total system failure bit too. They are terrible fundamentally, which is an indictment of the farm system too. A lot of this stuff is mind bogglingly stupid baseball that the skipper doesn't appear to hold anyone accountable for. There's a theme with that.

Our best prospects seem to tear up AAA and then immediately flounder in the majors.

 

But regardless of that, there does seem to be problems with their fundamentals in the minors.

Tonkin looks like Ted Brogan, the character Will Ferrell played in a classic SNL sketch from the 90s where ball players visit a young boy played by Chris Kattan.

 

Pitches like him too.

Whatever Smalleys flaws as an announcer, he can match Bremer's magnificent gift for understatement note for note when critiquing the Twins:

 

"The Twins just are not playing the game crisply tonight..."

Oof, may have to go back on YouTube and watch some more twins classics. Dougie M wouldn't have stood for this junk without screaming with a mouthful of chew

Didn't most these young guys play for Dougie? Maybe to much screaming not enough teaching?

I dunno, Nolasco managed some crisply hit balls.
