Its been a terrible month for home game minnechoka sports.
It seems the missed walk off kick is the icing on a cake baked by TC 2nd baseman eddio julio and his 2 game choking late errors. Both on Johan Durans dime. Duran had both games lined up for a save. Julian pulled a chuck knoblach & sailed a pair of sure out throws. 2 blown saves for Duran being the final outcome.
Ironically/ hilariously. Last night, with the twins up 2-0 in the ninth... Duran trots in...
Rocco didnt leave Julien at 2b for this ninth inning. Instead. Kyle Farmer trots in from the bench and Julien grabs some bench.
I immediately wondered if Duran had said something to rocco after the 2nd Julien error that cost the team a win, & the all star close a pair of saves. Sumthin akin to. "Hola skipper, if the Canadian is on the field, dont bother calling me in to close the game. Im sorry skip, i cant do both, pitch off the mound & play second base."
Julien said at seasons start, his goal this year was to get a gold glove award. That is so laughable at this point! If the dude never plays 2b again- with the game on the line late. It improves the TC chance to win games by at least 50%. His defense is as bad as any current 2basemen in the major leagues. A gold glove candidate? Ha! Most hone park ball boys/ girls would be a better defensive option. The offensive option wouldnt be much worse either.
The call-up of Brooks Lee cant come soon enough!
I wont go as far as to say Julien should be traded or dumped. He did show us something offensively in 2023. But his defense? Reportedly improved coming out of spring training, is at best not improved. Possibly even regressed. He should not be on a mlb field until he can find a path to adequate.
This, the guy that made Arraez expendable? Ufdah! Arraez too is a defensive liability, but sweet louie is a far better defender than Julien. What an insult to gold glove players of the past! For Julien to dare say he believed he would be a GG candidate sometime soon.
Kids nowadays believe you can speak reality into existence. What absolute buffonery! Reality isnt a thought on what could be. Reality is the end result of what is actual fact.
Eduoard Julien- your on field defense is terrible. Thats reality!
