    The last couple of years of Pohlad ownership could be a case study in how to destroy a professional sports franchise. They have to be among the worst owners in all of professional sports.

    The cratering attendance seems pretty heavily correlated with the ownership's decision to cut payroll. This choice demoralized the fanbase and we are seeing the result. The other issue is that there has been nothing to generate excitement in over 2 years. The team hasn't made the playoffs and there have been zero acquisitions that are even a little interesting.

    It's tough to win enough to make the playoffs when you have 3 rookie starters who only go 4-5 innings followed by a shaky bullpen.

    Go back a little further and he's given up 15 ER in his last 8 IP.
  17. twins_89
    So our only trade deadline acquisition is a questionable right handed reliever who has given up 15 runs over his last 8 appearances?
  18. twins_89
    Facing Snell without the your top 4 hitters (who are all right handed) was not an ideal matchup. The results ended up pretty much as expected.

    The guy who seems to be deserving of a chance but doesn't get much recognition is DaShawn Kierey. He's hitting .302/.390/.538 (.928 OPS) at AAA. He's also is a plus defender in CF and can steal bases pretty well. Being a left handed hitter makes him a good platoon option with Buxton.

    Twins now 8 back after the first 20 games. How deep does the hole need to get before there is no way out.
  23. twins_89
    I'd give Camargo a few games in place of Vasquez and see what he does. Right now playing a guy who might struggle is a huge improvement over a guy who has definitely shown he can't hit.
  24.    twins_89 reacted to a post in a topic: Who is keeping Camargo out of the lineup?
  25. twins_89
    I expect Varland to stick in the rotation in the short term since the front office and Baldelli have a history of giving even the worst starters at least 5 and often close to 10 starts before making a change. It is also lucky for Varland that the bullpen has been doing well without Duran and Topa. If the bullpen was struggling there were be a lot of pressure to move Louie to the pen where he has shown he can be a good late inning guy.
  26. twins_89
    Saying there are 7 guys under .250 with OPS under .700 doesn't really capture the staggering ineptitude of the Twins hitters. A bit more accurate take would be to say that 6 of the hitters are under .155 with OPSs of .580 or less.

    DeSclafani going down is unfortunate, but it's hard to consider it a surprise. Trading for a pitcher with known arm issues has not been a strategy that has worked well for the Twins.

  29. twins_89
    It was actually 9 starts and 42 innings if you count the 4 starts he had in 2022 after the trade. Still, it's looking pretty likely that it will go to go down as one of the worst trades in twins history.
  30. twins_89
    I think the biggest takeaway is that the Twins pitching staff is likely to take a step back next season, meaning the team needs the offense to take a step forward.
  31.    twins_89 reacted to a post in a topic: Buxton at 1B?
  32. twins_89
    Has Buxton played a single inning of infield defense in his entire career? I'm skeptical that making the switch to 1B is something he could be successful at without multiple seasons of work.
