Are Dick and Justin still going with “the lack of on field batting practice” as the reason for this travesty of an offense?

Naw, now it's the weather preventing any sort of rhythm early this season.

to be fair, they're on the field for shorter half innings.

I just don't get how you can watch the games this season (and last season for that matter) and not think that the hitting coach needs to be changed.

I don't think anybody expected it to be the start of a rebuild this season, but looks like the Twins are headed that way. 

It's not hard to see. Twins did not address the bullpen and the offense in the offseason. May, Clippard, Wisler, Romo, Hill, Rosario, Gonzalez, Avila and Adrianza were a big part of the team last year. It was a short season, Twins was lucky to win the division. I predicted this is not the season we expect before the start of the season. I guess it's even worse than I thought.

Bring in the pen, and it's 4 runs in 2.2 innings. All 4 Bullpen runs. At least Stashak didn't let the inherited runner score in the 6th.

4 pitches down the middle so far to Buxton, and missed them all.... touched them.... but missed them.

RE: Kirilloff, I feel like the Twins' prospects don't reach the majors as well prepared as other teams' prospects. If you're Houston or Tampa Bay you can call up one of your top prospects (Carlos Correa, Yordan Alvarez, Randy Arrozarena) and they're contributing very soon. But the Twins' prospects - at least their hitters - always look totally raw and at a loss when they get called up. That was how Buxton and Sano looked when they were first called up, and it's how Kirlloff looks now. 

 

Do we teach pitch selection in the minors? Kirlloff started his days by swinging at a couple of unhittable low sliders. Buxton and Sano had the same issue.

I think the Twins need a rally song for when the going gets tough. I propose "Dance To The Music" by Sly and the Family Stone. We won an all U of M foosball tournament one year using that ploy. He he.

Could Baldelli be fired before the season ends? Because if that happens...oof
