I can’t imagine there being that many people there to make that much of a difference on concessions. If this were opening day, then yeah haha

I don’t get these lineups at all

They just need to sell beer for a couple of hours to the 50 people or so who showed up. Then they will call it.

Lousy smarch weather...

Jankowski and Taylor the only ones to hit Lopez career-wise.

Maton hot hand I guess.

So do they believe Jankowski is the better CF over Michael Taylor?

Why acquire Taylor to replace Robert in CF when they could have had Jankowski for league minimum?

Cause Venable loves Jankowski

He's not even close imo, which makes that odd. 

Also why does Sosa sit so much????

Play Sosa and Lee ffs. How's a man supposed to get hot when you bench him subsequent to a three hit game

Catching a day game after a night game is rare.  But yeah, play Sosa.

Taylor has been worth 77 DRS in CF in his career in 7100 innings.

Jankowski had been worth 8 DRS in 1600 innings. 

He's been almost twice as good. Just one Stat but the results are across the board.

Yeah I guess, still there's been too much Thaiss in the lineup should be 2:1 in favor of Lee imo

That lineup is puke city.  The ghost of Grifol is still with us apparently.

Not only that but Jankowski best position is RF and taylor has rarely played there in his career. 

These types of moves and decisions drive me nuts. It's spitting in the face of the data based on some stupid personal feeling/opinion.

Yep, I really wish Getz could have traded for Canario and dumped Jankowski.  Take Venable’s best bud away from him.

Taylor has the stronger arm but it's not a distinct advantage.

It's not like their success against Lopez comes in more than just 3-5 career at bats.

Maybe Taylor has lost a step or two athletically.

But the lineup overall has been woeful against Lopez.

 

Whereas nobody on the Twins has faced Burke.

Taylor was the 2nd best CF'er in baseball last year on a rate basis. There is no excuse for this bs.

I'm so tired of this crap with the managers. FIGURE IT OUT GETZ

Even modern managers go with these weird hunches.

Unless there's some glaring reason to believe more balls will be hit to RF against Burke in this weather...
