The overall approach at the plate is not good. Perhaps it is time to call up Julien and Helman, maybe shake things up.

I don't think it is so much of an individual thing, as it is a team thing.  The overall approach and philosophy is prevalent through-out the team, not just a few players, IMHO.

[Parfigliano]

Correa will get a hit here.  Doesnt matter

[Aggies7]

Correa just guessing at this point. Nice 0 for 5er

Thought he would do a garbage time Cousins stat pad.  I was wrong.

[RickOShea]

Twins players hurry back to clubhouse to check and see what their account balances are after a poor performance.  Oh, wait a minute, they get paid no matter how poorly their play.

NGL was pretty optimistic to start the season. 
 

but this is just atrocious.

Brooks Lee from double a,    kids a natural  Polanco came up from AA IN 2014,  And Lee is a Player, switch hitter also,  Get him up here,

I wonder the last time, Baldelli kept track of Detroit on the out of town scoreboard?

[Aggies7]

Since the high water mark of last season, 5/24/22, the twins are 70-85 (.451)

Padree post game show commentators said Minnesota crowd was listless and unenthusiastic.

Gee, I can't imagine why.

How many more games like this before the team batting average reaches the Mendoza line!  Already under .220 and still dropping every game.

Yeah, they were. It's just a dig.  In fact their in game guys were pretty good, but the post game guys highlighted our mistakes before their own successes.  Kinda bush league.

Maybe Dave St Peter will blame the fans for the team's poor play again.

I was at that game last year.  It's the day Royce Lewis got hurt.  This team needs a spark and he could be that.  The division is bad enough, so hopefully the Twins won't be out of it when he gets back.

[Linus]

Folks this is not on Rocco. This is 100%on the front office. Rocco is just doing what he is told. As they broke camp I posted that we would all be doing a post mortem on the bullpen by the All Star game. I was wrong. This bullpen is cooked and we didn’t even make the fishing opener. 

[tony&rodney]

The bullpen pitchers have yet to take an at bat. 

The Twins get until June to create some energy or a shakeup will need to happen. Attendance is still important. I'm not going to worry about the direction of the team until June. If the listless play continues until then, there will be some major changes.

Crowd or team?

I'd rather have P Lopez.

I get that pitching is very important.   I just hate we had to give up a very good hitter.   I want both!
