they don't come mentally prepare day in/day out, it's just whatever, too relaxed

 

comin to collect that paycheck, but not helping to generate that money

 

Beckham stirred the drink, only to have the "amazing" starting pitching piss all over it.

It's like whenever they get some momentum going they have to remind us that they suck.

When will our runners learn to hit the front of the bag and not the middle?

Well, you'd think Geo would be familiar enough with his stuff to know what are his "go to" pitches.

 

At any rate, that game where Gomez had about 10 RBI's for the Twins and beat Jenks at the end in late 2008 still rankles (I think it was the culmination of a sweep, and season was tottering on the brink at that point). #twinsnightmare

3-0 LOL goodbye Jeff! Nice knowing ya. This team is garbage and deserves what they get.

You don't become one of the worst base running teams in history by doing things the right way!

Don't forget the great defense by Alexei

Not sure what the stats show, but when I watched him on the Cubs, he dominated when it was just fastballs and then splitters. His slider has always been a mediocre pitch it seems.

Stats show the slider as being his best pitch, but it's rated poorly this year

Vincent Van Gogh Coleman...#notamasterpiecein2015

And that to me seems insane, as it was always his splitter that was his go-to K pitch.

Swung at ball 4

We never did have a mandatory team meeting to go over fundamentals/hitting the cut-off men/backing up bases during one of those off-days, etc.??

 

Guess that big KW/Hahn imparting their executive skills session was critically important, lol. Would give up eating pizza for one month to get my hands on that recording...

Only sox players swing at ball 4

This team is garbage and this organization is garbage for hiring this bum as a manager.

Professionals are too good for that.

I'm over this s*** bag team. They just play so f***ing dumb it's sickening

We get it

We get it

Nothing else to do other than b**** about them.

what was the error?

Stop watching and go do something else then.

Well according to the data, he only started throwing the splitter in 2012 and since then it's been almost as good as his slider on a per 100 pitches basis (0.95 runs above average compared to 1.03). He just hasn't thrown it as much so the slider's been a good bit more valuable overall. Though as I said the stats don't like his slider this year so far.

Why don't we have any guys like Matt Carpenter....extreme fatigue syndrome....shows up 7 hours before every game, strenuous workouts/exercise regimen, etc.

 

The last really hard worker was Pierre. Eaton and Abreu are the closest, I guess. Maybe Adam's just been too overwhelmed by the new contract.

Question, where do you find those stats at?

We have no idea who works hard. Avi showed an amazing work ethic returning last year. There's a lot of things to question about this squad, but their work ethic is something I don't worry about.

what was the error?

 

Slow grounder to Alexei and just bobbled it

what was the error?

 

Ramirez messed up a routine grounder that put runners on 1st and 3rd....contributed to that big inning, although probably not as much as the hanging slider.
