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.

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

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

 

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

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

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...

Professionals are too good for that.

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

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.
