Performing the same in a clutch situation is better than choking in a clutch situation

And the good stuff doesn't age much in the playoff years.

A bottle a game keeps the playoff wins away!

Or something like that.

Why Rocco? It's Collins, right-handed Anderson and Hamilton.

I will take 45 rbi over any computer geek number that Baldelli is using to turn the Twins into a farce.

Zero MLB front offices prioritize RBI when evaluating players.

[USAFChief]

I'm shocked. Shocked I say.

Except I literally referenced him NOT hitting as well in clutch situations....so I don't get your point about Rosario, who is whom we were discussing....

[Brock Beauchamp]

Ugh, this team.

[wsnydes]

Alcala should change his middle name to HR.

You said the same or worse

[Mike Sixel]

Add Alcala to the long list of disappointments. I expected him to be at least league average as a RP....so far, not so far.

I really expected so much more from him this season. I thought he was a good breakout candidate.

[RpR]

Ah, Rocco's choice from the bullpen is so, so much better than Berrios.

Well, one year was the same, 4 were worse. You can find the data if you look.

They are just so bad, and any flashes of brilliance, are usually immediately put out by pitching and defense

[Aggies7]

zach f-ing collins, everyone

I think there's only two reasonable assumptions to be made here.

A. Trolling

B. Old man yells at cloud.

[RpR]

Send Alcala down and bring Albers up, would not be any worse.

[MMMordabito]

Billy Hamilton loves him some Twins pitching.

Yep. The sloppiness from this collection of solid defensive veterans is rather unbelievable.

And then there's the pitching staff:

[USAFChief]

Billy F'ing Hamilton owns the Twins.

 

That's all you need to know about Twins pitching.

In fairness, so does the rest of the league!

Brock really isn't all that old, though.

Can you do it by proxy? ?

[operation mindcrime]

Alcala Seltzer has really been plagued by the long ball!

Kinda personal, no?

Put Tiny Tim's cane in his hands, push him to the batter's box, and I think there's a 40% chance he rips a ground rule double against this pitching staff*.

*let's be real, we all know there's no way Tiny Tim legs out a double with the ball in play

And then steals 3rd.

[LVTwinsfan]

Rosario would have thrown him out at home

With an eight run lead, it's called "fielder's indifference", Chief.

This team is not very good.  2019 was a fluke.  They started the 2020 season 10-2.  Since then, including the playoff losses, finished 26-24 in 202O and we see what we have today.  Other than Cruz and probably Polanco and a healthy Buxton, there is not ONE SINGLE vet that is going to lead us to anything good at this point.  Give me growing pains of the young guys every day as opposed to the crap I am seeing from this bunch. Gut this dumpster fire and start over.  GUT IT.
