    Sometimes a show gets so caught up in being unpredictable, weird and original, it loses it's ability to tell the story. For me, Legion and Westworld are good recent examples of that like 'Lost' is an older example.

    Amazon picked it up. https://deadline.com/2018/05/the-expanse-amazon-picks-up-space-drama-series-season-4-syfy-cancellation-1202398511/

    I stopped watching it.

    you mean team MVP, right? Cause Trout is absolutely killing it this season. Truly destroying it.

    thank you. Surgery went well. In recovery and in lots of pain, but it went well.

    My wife would have a problem with one of those suggestions and I'm fundamentally unable to do the other suggestion. But I appreciate the good place that advice came from :-)

    This discussion has been fun, but I have surgery to remove the cancerous lymph node in my neck tomorrow morning, so I have to say good night. Go Twins!

    just cause you discard the reasons given doesn't make them poor reasons. I've yet to see complaints about Molitor that most fans of teams don't complain about their own managers doing.
  9. jimmer
    Yes, an incredibly bad argument.
  10. jimmer
    Even people who think firing Molitor won't solve our problems find reasons to criticize him because every manager makes mistakes, even Maddon (who is one of the very best managers in the game right now and, perhaps, ever).

    I never said teaching stops once the player hits the majors. But basic fundamentals? That should be done in the minors. If a refresher course is needed in the majors, fine. But some of our players make the same fundamental mistakes over and over and I highly doubt Molitor, with his baseball knowledge, has just skipped over doing his part to make that stop. Players, ultimately need to stop making those mistakes or it's on them.

    I believe I answered what I think he's good at and what I like about him. Being a manager is about managing people and their egos to get them to work toward a common goal. That's true of all managers in any profession. There are better ones and there are worse ones than Molitor. With the talent on this team, we could have the best one and I think it's make little difference but maybe a game or three. Talent is what wins. Again, when you state no manager has had access to the type of talent Molitor did, what do you mean?Any manager?Any Twins manager?Cause certainly more MLB managers have and Gardy inherited a darn fine team made by Kelly. So, I'm confused by that statement in many ways

    I said he's fine. I didn't state he was a top manager. I just think that on the list of problems we have, I don't see him as the reason this team isn't getting it done. And if he was gone tomorrow, I don't think the talent on this team gets us anywhere closer. He seems to have the respect of his players. Players seem to like him. The team isn't bickering or overly complaining. And he knows the game. Now, when you say no manager has had access to the type of talent he did, what do you mean? Any manager? Any Twins manager? Cause certainly more MLB managers have and Gardy inherited a darn fine team made by Kelly. I'm confused by that statement in many ways.

    Practically every manager's bullpen management is suspect and if you look around baseball forums it is the number one complaint about every manager in the game by the fans of those teams. His mistakes are just magnified (for us) due to it being our team and the fact he has so little bullpen talent to count on so he has to overuse the few good pieces we have. And fundamentals shouldn't need to be taught at the major league level. That's like rookie ball and Single A stuff. Certainly by the time a guy deserves to be brought up he has those down...or should. And if not shame on the development team and or the player. And also, lack of fundamentals on occasion is not something unique to the Twins.
  15. jimmer
    How about player development in the minors? This has been a problem since long before Molitor was in charge. When they get to the majors, they should be ready to play in the majors. Molitor isn't responsible for our two best prospects not living up to expectations.
  16. jimmer
    after 4 years the talent hasn't been good enough to warrant a quality record no matter who is steering the ship. I think that is the correct answer.
  17. jimmer
    Molitor is fine. The record the Twins had last year are making people believe this team as constructed is better than it is and Molitor is the scapegoat. Lots of players are underperforming, there have been some key injuries and this team just isn't that good. I have, however, completely turned around on Rosario. After seeing how he is with the fans live, he is now my favorite current Twin.

    Buxton is a better fielder than Hunter was. Hunter was fabulous when he played CF for us, but Buxton is better, no doubt. Your description of Buxton describes Revere when he was with us playing CF, not Buxton.
  19. jimmer
    Rosario is deserving and perhaps Berrios.

    Getting my Red Rosario jersey today. Last time I got a Twins jersey with a name on it was Mientkiewicz...which I wore to the game today!

    Judge played for three seasons in college. He wasn't drafted till summer 2013. He didn't play pro ball till 2014, was in AAA in 2015, and was in the majors end of 2016. Fast.
  22. jimmer
    Anybody have some chicken? ;-)
  23. jimmer
    I'm still all in on Buxton.
  24. jimmer
    Good.
