Even though the Twins took 3 of 4 from Boston, I continue to be underwhelmed by the quality of Major League Baseball. These are not the Twins of the past. In a short week I have seen the center fielder air mail a throw to second base all the way to the dugout, while the pitcher stood and watched. I saw the left fielder airmail the cutoff man with the bases loaded to allow all runners to advance. A pitcher catch a runner between second and third, but rather than running at him to start a rundown play, he chose to toss the ball toward the bullpen, allowing the runner to score what turned out to be the winning run. I saw a 14 year veteran hit a liner to second with a man on first. When the second baseman mishandled it, he threw to second for one, and the relay to first outed the batter who was standing somewhere near the dugout with his bat still in his hands.
What gives? Aren't you being paid enough to think?? I've seen Little League games played better. Sure, the raw talent is a little short, but at least the game is played like it should be. If anyone thinks I am going to pay 30 dollars a ticket to watch this brand of baseball, think again. New stadium priority my foot!! Keep playing like this and there will be lots of tickets available and resellers will be standing in front of the ballpark like they did in 1982. Buying tickets for $2.00 and selling for $4.00.
