  1. I like Dick more now that Bert is retired too, but it was such a breath of fresh air when Marney called play by play in the spring games. She really needs to take over. It's not that I don't appreciate Dick Bremer, he's a very good play by play guy, it's just time.
  2. It is Mike’s prerogative on when he chooses to drink, but it is objectively not night.
  3. And I think In 10 days the waiver wire will be awash with potential upgrades that could be claimed and also increase the likelihood of a DFA’d asset making it through waivers and being reassigned to AAA
  4. Agreed, mostly. I’d keep Lewis strictly at Short, Correa could be hurt (why else would he be sooooo off) and have Lewis be ready as if Correa picks back up again, he’ll be traded or opt out at end of season. Miranda to play LF and 3rd makes sense to me. He’s cooled off a bit, but he’s clearly not a SS where Lewis could still be. If Miranda gets hot again, he’s my pick for promotion to Twins LF
  5. I think this is a very good point, and part of why the lineup changes so drastically when a lefty starts, and then the chess match in the mid innings of righty/lefty bullpen usage. outside of Arraez there is not a ton of contact being made, Arraez doesn’t hit Lefties well, and the team is very LH heavy. They’ve also faced Lefties frequently thus far. over the course of the season the Lefties frequency should normalize and the ball should carry better in the heat of summer, but contact rate could/should persist unless the FO can find a couple hitters. Additionally, I think the short spring roster construction to pad the bullpen helps the pitching end of the lefty/righty matchups and hurts the bench strength. Who are they going to promote? Move Miranda to LF or RF I suppose, but he’s not exactly crushing it.
  6. I mean the bullpen didn’t give up a run. It’s the hitting that is so darn anemic
  7. Yup, I couldn’t figure out how SB could do it, but it was quite impressive
  8. That is the problem with the 40 man. Only Royce and Miranda are hitters on the 40 not active and not injured. they need to DFA about 4 pitchers, with the state of the rotation not yet fully stretched out and the pen being ineffective, I doubt they remove more than 2 on May 1 to get down to 26
