CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It's taken me a while because I wanted to give Abreu the benefit of the doubt,but I'm really starting to question his baseball IQ. He's constantly swinging and missing the curves down and away when he gets behind in the count and he should know they are coming. Or that last AB the pitcher probably didn't throw one strike and Jose should be looking for a ball up that he can drive and he K's on a ball way low.

bmags Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 could also be that major league pitchers are good at disguising what a pitch is and they are hard to hit. 7 is for sale. Starting to question the baseball IQ of the twins players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Earlier tonight reminded me that Avi as a young player was palatable because he was beating out dribblers to first. Creating his own BABIP luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 regular playing time seems to suit navarro. He's a bad framer but if he starts hitting who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Sale Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Great day for Dioner Navarro. Another day at the office for Chris Sale, making the Twins just look like fools, after an emotional first. Wonder what calmed him down (especially without Drake in the clubhouse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksnort Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I always liked the idea of Navarro being in the lineup vs. Avila. I think once Avila heals, Navarro needs to be the one getting most of the games. He has earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
