You know Ty France is gonna have the jokes when our guys get on base.

Bradley has had a tough start ...but it can't make much of a difference with no run support. It is a joke listening to Rocco trying to put a positive spin on these games. We need to dig up Billy Martin.

I think Billy from the grave could do a better job  , I'm sick and tired of these robot type manager's  ...

[jkcarew]

It’s that first time through the lineup for Bradley.

Gotta figure out how to avoid letting him see the hitters for the first time. I can almost hear Rocco’s wheels grinding.

[Patzky]

Lee is still battling. Good on him.

[S Bart]

You know it is bad when all they can talk about is the number of losses the Sox have to avoid to reach 100.

A bag over his head oughta work. Strike zone might be the same.

Well he has a 300 plus average after leaving MN.

[Patzky]

Yeah Luke, some of the umpires up here have AAA strike zones too.

[S Bart]

Do you think Duran, Correa and the rest miss the Twins after 3 weeks with their new teams? Luke may be the only one. ..

Personally yes.

Professionally.. I doubt they check the box scores.

Or Bill Rigney

[Blyleven2011]

Roberts Jr has made two nice catches in centerfield  , he's a good defensive player but has hit like crap ..

I think he is a free agent if Sox doesn't pick up an option for 20 something million, in free agency do you think any team would pay him 10 to 15 million a season just for his defense  ??

[jaimedude]

Honestly I have never seen a team that get's as many it's and walks as the Twins without driving in runs. It's ridiculous how many hit's this team can produce without generating runs. The line-up construction is ass just about every game. They have no clutch hitters. I'm not buying any more tickets for Twins as long as Rocco and this staff remain.

I am unsure about it....they adjust. My gut reaction is that Correa is on cloud nine.

He had a big HR yesterday and a great defensive play.

Cincinnati Reds. Relatively young, scrappy team, Greene, Francona, great radio booth.

[Patzky]

Teel Montgomery Meidroth Quero

 

That's a core..

I have listened to the Padres/Dodgers series last weekend and this weekend. Great ball/competition.

Varland yes. He seems to be struggling a bit. Jax may be realizing his issues are on him. Bader was doing much better with us which for free agency would have been better for him, but I am sure he is enjoying being in Philly. Brock is hurt. So right now only Duran, Correa and France are the 3 performing much better and settling into their new teams.

I don’t think they missed it 3 minutes after wheels up. The skor north guys said as much. Guys telling their agents get me out of here it’s a mess

Only 1 stated that. Jax. Correa said no where but Houston.

I started cheating on the Twins in June. Just once at first. It wasn't planned, it just happened. I felt guilty of course but once I opened that door... well you know. Eventually I felt guilty enough to have the difficult conversation with TC "I don't want to break up but I want to see other teams". It's actually been easier than I thought. It's been quite freeing to spend time with other teams that have something to give and not just take. 

Actually I grew up (60's) hating the Yankees and I choose the Twins as my team in 1961 because I tuned into a Twins / Indians game and the Twins were behind. It was then I decided I'm for the underdog. 
Recently I've been a little partial to the Red Sox because they have been in fight at times, but still somewhat of an underddog, and I like Fenway. In June I watched them take 2 of 3 in NY then the following week 3 or 3 against NYY at Fenway. This weekend they've taken 3 so far against the Yankees. It's been fun to watch a team win consistently. It's also fun to see them have bases loaded, no out and actually score multiple times. It's fun to see a team that isn't AA. It's fun to watch a manager that doesn't manage like a machine. 
It's been fun.

I still tune into the Twins to see how bad the pitching is going to be. But I spend more time in the forum than watching the Twins.

I just don't want to get to the point where lawyers are involved. Maybe we can still reconcile?

Interesting how Jax and Sonny Grey (miss him...has done well in SL) had challenges with Rocco..  neither one misses his managing

Publicly. Most guys aren’t going to bash a team. But you’re absolutely insane if you think any of these guys want to be around this 💩 show if they can be anywhere else. Listen to some of the beat writers, they talk to the players. Players talk to other players. This is a bottom 5 organization to play for right now

I miss Sonny Gray and dislike Rocco and his coaching staff.  This is not a staff that is going to develop young players. Rocco would be better off taking over a veteran team or one willing to spend. This ownership so tight with a buck I doubt they would fire him. This team is desperate for a veteran GM and President good at developing something either hitting or pitching. Twins are crappy at both. Not impressed with the drafts or trades Falvey has made. This franchise is in rough shape at MLB and AAA levels.
