I'm interested to see if Correa's comments about 'executing' has any impact on Lewis, Julien and Lee.  It seems pretty obvious they were who he was talking about.

I personally think Correa’s comments were aimed mainly towards Kepler. Just a bunch of circumstantial evidence, reading between the lines—plus those two just feel like they mix worse than oil and water. No first hand knowledge.

a Twins win tonight, combined with a loss from 1 of the other 2 teams, and this thing suddenly looks very doable again.

People screamed for accountability.....my point was we have no idea what he's saying not in public. None.

My point is, his public comments seems like he is throwing players under the bus to a degree.

Which is what people asked for "accountability" ....whatever that means. I agree that he did that. Not a fan....

The next desperation move, activate Topa when he hasn't pitched all year.  So is he going to be used in high leverage in his first appearance.  I hope I am wrong but I don't know how you can reasonably expect anything out of him at this point.  And it's not like he has a stellar track record other than one good year.  But at least Irvin is gone.

Irvin’s 4 games with us:

3.2 IP 6 H 5 R 5 ER 4 BB 2 K

I have no problem with the Irvin move, but I am not sure about bringing Topa back at this point in the season.

You mean the guy Rocco turned to with a 2 run lead in a game they desperately needed?

That guy??

We have zero idea what he's saying or not . zero. 

Pretty clear what Correa was saying. 

"Some of us were out here taking BP. Some weren't."

 

That's a shot at some teammates, and a direct shot at Rocco.

100 games of Buck is great. Not having a viable option for the other 62 is not so great.

Train wrecking into dumpster fire.  Really moved the needle.

Yeah, it’s hip replacement so hopefully walking the dog will become a thing again in the Spring.

I approve walking the dog.

 

In the meantime, perhaps you can work on your yo-yo skills?

Best of luck with it all!

Apologies that i am flippant by nature.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh by the way, i hope we win.

I will miss baseball over the winter. Especially since I’m probably having surgery and will be laid up a couple of months. I guess I can pretend to be on the 60-day. :)

Best of health to you. Thanks for the reminder that there are way more important things than a baseball team owned by a billionaire family that still feels the need to squeeze  every drop of money out of it that it can squeeze.

[TwinsCD]

It's pretty hilarious that the two pitching acquisitions this franchise made at or after the trade deadline both got DFA'd within 10 days of being acquired.  Brilliant evaluations!!

If you're under the care of the Twins trainers, the timeline may say spring training but we'll end up seeing you in August.

In all seriousness, good luck with that and with what you'll be having done, your 40 time will be back where it belongs in no time!

Comerica Park about 1/2 full.

Have the Stryker hip and knee. Can't play 3rd anymore <winks>. You will do fine. Many of us are approaching or are in that golden autumn healthcare season.

Blessings on a good surgery and quick recovery. DB

Numbers said 21K. That translates to 12-14K? Had radio only on Twins.

[Dave Borton]

1st pitch by Zack Littel over the fence. 1-0 Tigers.

Greene doubles and Perez singles him in, 2-0.

100% on the oil and water. RpR can disagree all he wants. There's some truth there. But Kepler is on the IL so unless Correa thinks he should be playing, what makes you think it would be directed at him?

Greene with a hustle double. GETS the green light on a base hit. Scores easily.

I have the Tigers feed on video and throw on Dickerson off the radio. He is good.

We need KC/Detroit to lose

You can do it the true Twins way and claim day to day until the surgery.

My mom (70) got a new hip last year after a fall (off a ladder, sheesh mom) and walked out of the appointment same day.  I guess they have the procedure so solid it’s an outpatient deal.  Crazy stuff.  She wobbled walked for a few months but was full speed after 6 months or so.  Dog walks are certainly in the future.

Either or. I'm not picky or greedy.

 

Ps. Certainly i'd rather one lose twice as many games than both lose...

He only has a few flaws? Now that just made my day!

Can we get some consistent line up construction Rocco? How do you expect your players to get in.any kind of rythm?
