    Probably couldn’t communication with the Front Office. One of the most instinctive players in baseball history. In reality the front office didn’t want to give instructions to a Hall of Famer.

    So the author states that Paul Molitor couldn’t communicate with the players. Not what I heard!
  3. peterb18
    Paul Molitor was probably one of the most instinctive players that I have witnessed in my lifetime. But he combined that with tremendous ability. Run, hit, throw.

    Good analysis! I agree.

    Very seldom have I created a topic but I would like to know what you think about the color announcers…..especially Morneau and Perkins. Watching the game tonight there is non- stop talking and evaluation. Not relaxing. It almost sounds like a seminar, or lecture. Most of us all played baseball, or understand the game and we don’t need never ending babble. The Producers need to work with these people on their craft. A requirement for these color guys: listen to tapes of Vince Scully…sometimes less is more.

    You don’t want him back in 2024(which is your opinion)but many of us do. I really like Gray…..fun to watch him work his craft.
  7. peterb18
    Basically, his ball, no matter the speed on the fastball, is too straight. Doesn’t move much or rise.
  8. peterb18
    He was put in as low-leverage situation as you can get.
  9. peterb18
    Agree 100%.

    Larnach has the potential to be a real good hitter…more than the above players.
  11. peterb18
    This game was blown by the manager. Baldelli is not a winner..his object is to follow a game plan and doesn’t deviate. Lacks a winning feel. When you have guys in the bullpen who throw 100mph…bring them in and win the game.

    Personally, the player of the past that most closely resembles Mike Trout is Mickey Mantle. Over the years when a new phenom would appear on the scene the sport writers would usually say, “he might be the next Mickey Mantle”. The Mick was one of the fastest players in the league, hit the ball the farthest, and won the triple crown. However, I do think that Buxton is in that category and if he stays healthy he could. take over as the best center fielder in the game. And most experts rank Mays as the best center fielder of all-time……which I agree with.

    Todd Walker was a really good player. His problem was Tom Kelly. They didn’t get along…if I remember right.
  14. peterb18
    I don’t expect much from Celestino. Mainly a triple A player….IMO. Just from what I’ve seen.

    Grading Falvey and CO

    peterb18 commented on Brandon's blog entry in Blog Brandon

    Mark, excellent analysis!
  16. peterb18
    Very good analysis!
  17. peterb18
    Great player! One of my favorites but not a good announcer.
  18. peterb18
    Not impressed by Dobnak at all. When our front signs a Uber driver to pitch in a big league game it shows you how far we have fallen.
  19. peterb18
    Rortvedt will never be ready as a hitter.
  20. peterb18
    Morneau is so dull and speaks in a monotone voice. I turn the sound down to where it is just a mumbling sound. Doesn’t matter now that I’m going to quit watching and just check the score once in a awhile. This team and management is so bad. The real reason they hired Johnson was so they could pick up reclamation projects and he can develop them. Save the Pohlads a lot of money. And what was the reason for not signing May? Can’t remember.
  21. peterb18
    Rortvedt might be the weakest, or one of the weakest hitters I’ve seen in the major leagues. I know it defense,.....but?
  22. peterb18
    When we were winning Falvey was giving interviews constantly. Maybe he is in hiding now. Unless he gave one yesterday.
  23. peterb18
    When things are going good Falvey is doing interviews constantly and in the news. Where is he now?

    Duffy’s problem appears to be conditioning. Does the team ever work on conditioning? Appears not with Rocco’s to each his own philosophy. Country club atmosphere...Lucky the Wild is playing tonight.
  25. peterb18
    I find this baseball unwatchable. Lucky the Wild is still playing and golf is enjoyable. Does front office think their the smartest guys in the room now? And the Pohlad’s trying to cut corners with a potentially good team. And too much analytics....just play the best players. And I don’t think Rocco thinks like winner.
