Seems?

Well, the people in charge of this website still believe it. So it's clearly coming from somewhere.

Y'all wanting to see the kids come up and sell talent off and now saying the team is no good..  got some sad news.

I'm ultimately ok with the lumps and the kids coming up as long as there shows some level of improvement between now and the end of the year.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

After the 2023 season ended, I deluded myself into thinking the Twins had a 3-4 year window where they could contend for the pennant. 

The Pohlads are responsible for this. They killed this franchise.

Please send him back to Little League.

He had a 5.75 era last year. That should slot him 3rd in our rotation.

Slammed shut quicker than the White Sox window did.

Agreed.

On the bright side, the Guardians are looking at a total reset. The Royals are meh. The White Sox are the White Sox. And, the Tigers could move off Skubal this off-season. AL Central might be really bad again.

Anyone think Kiersey Jr. Is a major league player on another team, let alone a winning one?

[Patzky]

Lol Keirsey.. even the ump is calling game over.

Well, their daddy tried. But they're billionaires and everyone know if you're rich that automatically means you're smarter and better than poor people. So you should probably just be quiet and worship them for allowing us to live in their world. 

[AceWrigley]

Crappy call on K3 to Kiersey.

The Red Sox really should trade one of their OF. It's so silly to have one of the league's best defensive CF playing 2B. 

Also, position flexibility in a baseball player helps a team, which is good, not bad. As hard as it is for some people here to grasp. 

Which is it?

Silly or does it help the team?

They at least won 90 games. Something this incredible core didn't even manage.

Span should join him as the announcer

The Twins are playing awful and I feel will be lucky to have 10,000 fans at games after the deadline.

He can bounce up and down as long as he has options. But no. I would be shocked to see him get to 200 PAs in his career. 

[Aggies7]

4-43 with risp this series 

[Baumer67]

Take Keirsey with, all he does is strikeout

[Patzky]

Red Sox 'in' on Jhoan Duran trade..

[AceWrigley]

Ke'Bryan Hayes going to the Reds.

Fun Fact: It can be both. 

It's silly because he's an incredible CF and should be playing CF. But the team has a surplus of OF they want to get playing time and repositioning the roster in order to get them all playing time helps the team. 

[Irishman]

1 XBH and 4 singles so far.   Not too good.  Hitting coach needs to be replaced,  

[LakesPibble]

If Keirsey's BA goes below .100, will people stop asking for him to play more?

[Baumer67]

Little League baseball players are taught to swing if the 3rd strike is close.  The Twins do not believe in that philosophy.

Ever since they started season with Kiersey jr. and Mickey Gasper on the roster I knew the front office and manager were not serious about winning Baseball. No other team rosters at MLB level those two dudes.

Probably not. You know, all that speed. He's a poor man's Jarvis Brown.
