    I'd play him just for his OBP.

    Ish. Young players get their butt chewed for that. I doubt Dozier gets more than a dirty look. Not complaining, just wondering what the tension in the dugout is like when the rookies are silently resentful that they'd get called out for not running out a grounder.
  3. nicksaviking
    He'd look good in late innings in KC.
  4. nicksaviking
    Sano will have three HR in the next four games.

    So basically through two turns through the Miracle rotation, Gonsalves is fifth best out of the six starters? And he has still been really good? If I was in the Chattanooga rotation, I wouldn't feel very comfortable about my prospects of remaining a starter for the entire season.

    Not bad. Save the taking a crap excuse to check your phone for the next date.

    So the night ended at 10:30? Or you told her you had to take a crap, then came here to tell us?

    Dozier can now be sure there is nothing that will let him see the field tonight.
  9. nicksaviking
    I'd feel much better about this game if Twins pitchers didn't have to come back onto the field.

    Whoever this new guy 42 is, I think he has a shot at going the distance. Probably helps that he's ambidextrous.

    A bunch of children waiving useless sticks around pretending they're magic wands?
  12. nicksaviking
    I assumed he was talking about the gross red jerseys.
  13. nicksaviking
    Hey, we had a lead for a full 1/3 of an inning. Baby steps folks.
  14. nicksaviking
    If Mauer could pull the ball I'd predict he drills Nunez with a line drive.

    Seems to me league-wide it is more common for a young pitcher to be called up than a hitter, but I don't have any numbers, just the sense that 20-22 year-old arms are more common, at least as a percentage. Some teams probably also prefer to get the most MLB time out of their pitchers before their inevitable decline.
  16. nicksaviking
    I think the team probably has the protocol for player development reversed. Pitchers are the causation and the batters are the reaction. Young pitchers with rough spots should be the ones promoted early, batters have to adjust and figure them out. It's the hitters that probably need more seasoning as they have to do the adjustment and cover up their weaknesses. Just trying to say that we should expect young batters to struggle, the team is more likely to get strong results from pitchers in the same situation.

    The Twins losses may be able to be explained away, but their lack of hitting and making contact really can't. They haven't been facing elite pitching. Pretty sub-elite in fact. If they were losing games 10-9, that would be one thing.

    Per Wolfson he gets a pro-rated $1.15M if he makes the MLB club. I hope that's incentive enough for him not to make the club. I'm worried he won't be riding pine allowing young players to develop if he makes the team. I think I'm mostly frustrated because there doesn't seem to be a plan for developing the young guys and building the team. Maybe they're not, but it really seems like they're just winging it at this point and they've been winging it since last year. It worked for awhile, but hasn't since about last June. Edit: well I can't copy the link for some reason, but it's probably not even worth figuring out why.

    I'm going to need a refresher on that Ramirez. Wilken or Manny?
  20. nicksaviking
    I would hope not, but I don't see a place for both Murphy and Arcia on the 25 man.
  21. nicksaviking
    It seems to me, if he can't play CF, he's just getting in the way of development. His OPS last year was exactly the same as Arcia's career OPS. Why on earth would this team even consider giving up on a 25-year-old who plays the same position and at least has a sniff of potential for a guy who is classic DFA material?
  22. nicksaviking
    What did I miss? Did Arcia actually do something to cause them to make this move? He hasn't even been given a chance. Another corner bat when there already aren't enough spots for Kepler, Park and Arcia. Why not just call Quentin back? Isn't it a right-handed bench bat this team really needs?
  23. nicksaviking
    Hmmm, I'm pretty sure my wife would just jump on the insult dog-pile if it was me.
  24. nicksaviking
    Probably, though Pressly also worked multiple innings as well. There seems to be an air of changing of the guard in this thread no matter how folks feel about how this has transpired. I hope Molitor feels that air too and gives the job to May.
  25. nicksaviking
    So we're criticizing players for not having surgery immediately even when there are alternatives to try? It's easy to yell about surgery when it's not you or someone you love getting knocked out, cut open and incapacitated for months. These are living breathing human beings even if we too often think of them as disposable entertainment.
