Found our RP...Farmer

He hits.  He pitches.  Give him some spreadsheet or a tablet..  Sky's the limit.

Three Zero for Three at bats: Julien, Larnach, Miranda and Vazquex.

I am dissapointed with Larnach and Vazquez.

If Farmer is your best option at second are you really a playoff team?

Is what we're currently running out there game after game worthy of a playoff team??  IMO, no it isn't, by a very large margin.

This isn't fair to Simeon. He's not an ace but he's worthy of being a starter. The failure was the team expecting 160 innings from him. 

Im not trying to be fair. I want to win.

They may be as flat as the rest of the team right now  , but Miranda has disappointed me since the Allstar game ...

Actually  larnach is better than previous years , he's still learning to hit the off speed and done better this year with it ... 

Vazquez is defensively fine and any hitting you get from a catcher is a plus  , he actually too is better this season  , still hitting the ball hard but nothing to show for it  ...

Have a good night , tonight's game was tough to watch  , but we managed to get through it , didn't we ???

Well you're being ridiculous. He'd pitch for 28 teams in the league.

Off season shopping list.

manager and staff

gm and assistant gm

#4 and #5 starter. Sim is not a mlb caliber pitcher.

3 bullpen arms.

 

 

Plus:

A major league caliber centerfielder for when Buxton is down for an extended period of time. 

Team speed, up and down the lineup. 

    *AND*

Better situational awareness and hitting, all the way around. 

Problem is, I'd be shocked if they even attempted to act on as many as half of these, let alone actually accomplishing something.

0-5 at Target Field this season. Good thing is that I'll be leaving the country with no further ability to jinx this team.

#Narcissim

You will be missed.

And if i can simultaneously hope for Margot to get a pinch hit and set a new record, i think i'll survive any jinxing effect you have.

My wish list is at least one player who has acrobatic inclinations, Always liked Ozzie Smith...

He reminds me of Adalberto Mejia or the version of Chris Archer we had. You can't be successful if you're not even going five innings per start.

Well he's gone 5+ in a majority of his starts. Again, I don't think he's great but no one is expecting him to be anything more than a #4

I hope Farmer is starting tomorrow. He may not be the best player but I would rather have hustlers out there.

I attended this disaster at Target Field, and the Kyle Farmer 1-2-3 inning was the best of the few Twins highlights. He tipped his cap to his former teammates and then to the fans.   
it was an entertaining moment.

Trim payroll because not enough fans showed up and Bally Sports.

Yay!

I really don't like posting this crap, but seriously. . . the team made the playoffs and showed life.  They energized a somnambulant fanbase and what happens? Payroll cut.  Bush league.

Suter is going to pick up a 3 IP save. 🫣

At least someone gets to improve their stats in garbage time. And probably better than a position player pitching.

But considering how much dumpster diving we typically do, this is still a sad image.

They needed to add a starter last winter. Everyone knew it. They did nothing. They needed to add a starter at the deadline. They did nothing.

Agreed. Ownership took care of that by cutting payroll.

You think the Pohlad’s are going to increase payroll after cutting it? Thats should be problem #1 on everyone’s list. Nothing will change, nothing, because ownership will stay the same. That’s the outlook.

I think he'll be fine...just wish he would stop nibbling so much. 

[insagt1]

Reds are carving us up like fine prime rib. Best Twins can hope for is the final WC and the way they are playing, thats going to be a stretch. Maybe Buck and Carlos will help, but they can't pitch. Twins honestly dont look like a playoff team anymore. Too many pieces are broken. Yes we know they still control their destiny, but that destiny is looking foggier and foggier.

Two games in a row where the pitching staff has allowed a touchdown or more. Thats not a playoff push.

No more pitch acquisition's like DeScalf and Topa to pretend you did something
