Those of you worrying about catching Minnesota don't have anything to worry about after last night. Especially with that bullpen.

Who is worrying about it? I want to catch Minnesota, but I don't expect it to happen, nor am I worried about the consequences if it doesn't.

What would catching Minnesota do?

Nothing. But it's something the team could set as a goal to keep themselves motivated and mentally engaged the rest of the year. I don't want guys giving away at-bats and tanking games. I want to see some energy on the field, and that has been lacking at times this year.

The idea of wanting to catch the 4th place team in the division just seems really silly and pointless to me. |

And today's game is really an illustration of the point I've been trying to make. Not much energy or intensity out there. The manager and the coaching staff should give these guys a goal for the rest of the year. Maybe it doesn't need to be catching Minnesota. Maybe you just say, "Hey, guys, let's try to go 6-4 on this homestand." Or, "Well, we've got 46 games left. Let's try to go .500 the rest of the year."
Do something, anything, to give these guys some motivation other than personal pursuits. I don't think it's silly and pointless to set goals like that. Something needs to be said or done to prevent lackluster performances like today. Doesn't matter that they lost. I just don't want to see guys going through the motions and giving away at-bats. Use this time to get better. Compete like it matters. Let the wins and losses fall where they may. |

I'll take the better draft pick. God knows we need to have a better farm system anyway.

And I didn't really see the two solo home runs in the ninth as a sign that the team did not quit. I saw a bunch of guys swinging for the fences to pad their own stats. Two happened to connect. Three others struck out. Whoop-dee-doo. I thought the team had a lot of embarrassing at-bats yesterday, especially against Correia. Sure, the talent level on this team isn't that high. Correia's talent level isn't that high either. He shouldn't be missing that many bats. |
