Farmer got his first hit so now the every thing will change from now on.

MLB needs to ban position players from pitching period. Idc if it's a 20 run game, watching Castro throw 40 mph moon balls is a joke.

I don't get the Twins games on TV anymore. How would you explain the look on Rocco's face?

Kind of a vague ‘I wonder what the post-game spread is going to be’ expression.

And I can’t find any fault in that tonight.

I don’t like it either.

But MLB’s way of banning it (in their infinite wisdom) would undoubtedly be by expanding the rosters. Which every team would, more often than not, fill with yet another reliever, which only compounds the low BA and high K theme…and the shorter and shorter ‘max effort every pitch’ starts.

So, no thanks

FALVINELLI fell in love wit the HR in in 2019 when they led MLB in HRs, but were 25th in strikeouts. Since then they have irrationally accepted strikeouts while not ensuring offensive production. If they do not redeem themselves this year they need to move on. Not only are they not successful, they as boring.

Agreed that more relief arms isn't a good thing. 

1 starter + 8 relief arms should be enough to get you through a 9 inning game. Idk if a more compelling argument is necessary.

This team is a complete dumpster fire.

Wish they had been rained out.

Correa out for God knows how long.  To add insult to that injury, all the minor league squads got smoked tonight, too.

Good night.

A lot of fans believed this team would be different without making any changes to their approach. I am curious how that is working out ?

 

It might be early but I see very little to be positive about.  Good luck getting 2 million fans this year.
