  1. Sorry, but I feel Kepler gets too much love. Has hit above .245 one season in his whole career and 1-19 in postseason ABs. Why exactly is he not expendable? Him and Sano I think are part of the problem as guys we should mention are holding this team back in addition to the others.
  2. Just throwing it out there, but what about signing JD Martinez to something like a 3 yr / $70M deal and putting him at 1B? That'd save about 7-8 mil (compared to a theoretical signing of Rendon) to spend on starting pitching.
  3. I've never seen someone strikeout so much. Sano drives me nuts. But Garver's trying to to single handedly will this team to a win. Pitching has been really good the past 3 games too, hoping that continues (knock on wood).
  4. Kepler bails the team out! Sat and waited for the ball to get back in the zone and hammered it to left center. Thata boy Max!
  5. That Cron at bat was an example of a perfect bunt situation. A few years ago, that would've been a bunt call from the manager and likely moved the runners up, tying the game on Cave's grounder. Makes me miss small ball a little bit.
  6. Once again Sano close to an automatic K with 2 strikes on him.
  7. Still bewildered how Falvine failed to make a move for a starting pitcher at the deadline.
  8. Don't get me wrong, Sano has alot of value to this club, but he's virtually an automatic strikeout if he gets 2 strikes on him.
  9. Anybody else hear Bert breathing heavily into the headset in between pitches? Driving me nuts. I really wish this would be his last season with FSN.
  10. I think the scouting report is out on Twins hitters. They can't hit breaking balls. Any pitcher that has confidence in their curveball and is willing to throw a steady dose of them has a high chance of having success against our lineup.

  12. Ok, Kiriloff with another run of the mill night going 4-4. Would love to see him in the Arizona Fall League and he really should be starting the 2019 season in Chattanooga.
  13. Kirilloff needs to be at AA. Sure, he's riding a hot streak, but he also has 18 hits in his last 29 ABs with low K rate. (He's also gotten 9 hits in his last 11). That's not a fluke... he's not being challenged. It's a waste of time to have him in Ft. Myers at this point.
  14. Yeah I know it "compromises the integrity of the sport" but now that there is zero chance at the playoffs I would absolutely not mind if the twins just kept sliding ala 2016 for Adley Rutchmann. We badly need a catcher and I find it hard to not buy into the fact that Rutchmann is going to be the best catcher in the big show for years to come. Cannon for an arm, good defense behind the plate, and one of the best college bats you'll ever see (from both sides of the plate). *That being said, the chance of playing poorly enough to get a top 2 pick is next to impossible.
  15. Unpopular opinion: Lewin Diaz isn't a top 20 prospect. Extremely excited for Kirilloff to hopefully get the call up to FTM soon! He's been raking and deserves it. Also nice to see Arraez heating up in FTM right now. He's had great success every year in the minors thus far in his young career. Nice to see him getting that feel back.
