    Was thinking about how often announcers say ‘with the top of the lineup coming up” the Minnesota Twins have to be the laughing stock of the entire league. How many teams have such a joke of “top of the lineup” like the Twins.

    I also had this and all it took was wearing good shoes and a little PT. It was gone in just a few weeks. These players need to start taking care of themselves year long. I have 2 competitive high level gymnasts and except for an awkward fall (it was horrifying to see) they have never been out with nagging injuries. I attribute that to the number of hours they condition. The pounding their bodies take is huge. A few have retired or been sidelined with back issues, They practice 5 days a week for 5 hours a time and much of that time is conditioning and I mean tough conditioning. It strengthens their core to avoid all these crazy things the Twins players are so supsestable to. Seriously should not incur a 10 day IL trip just running to 1st base.

    I am terribly afraid Lewis will be our next broken down once hopeful player.
  4. MABB1959
    Doesn't seem like Cleveland wants it either. Going for a draft pick?
  5. MABB1959
    As a bit of defense for the pitchers, it would be nice if the offense could score more runs to give the pitcher a nice cushion to work with

    Sadly Buxton probably won't turn out what we hoped for. So looking at the rest of the year and next. Who are the power hitters that would serve the team well as a DH?
  7. MABB1959
    Me too. Pretty much given up on this team. Especially the pathetic offense. Guys we counted on are horribly disappointing. Fun to watch Waller, Julien and Kirilloff. Extremely concerned about Lewis with all of his injuries. Especially this last one where he got injured just by running. Pitching staff started out exciting but the offense has really let them down. Pitching with a lead has been rare and many times they can’t even muster up a few runs to take the pressure off the pitcher.

    Which "established major league talent" are you referring to? I do not believe a single one of them is expendable. The few productive bats are the young ones.
  9. MABB1959
    We need to seriously hope he isn't made of glass. IMO this team needs a strict conditioning program that focuses on strengthen their core.
  10. MABB1959
    I am actually okay with this as long as they spend the rest of the season seeing what the young kids have. I don't think sitting any of the veteran's would be terribly missed or game changing, especially if the are batting below .250.
  11. MABB1959
    What can they do with Buxton? Let him go in as a DH occasionally? Put him in CF and if he can’t hack it figure out something. He is hurting this team as a DH. But most of the lineup up is inconsistent or just bad.
  12. MABB1959
    I don’t think they give a rats butt.
  13. MABB1959
    So is it over? No trades for Minnesota?
  14. MABB1959
    Why can't we have any thing bigger? Is it no big name player will come here? Are they cheaping out? We are back to the left over table once again and if they don't do anything by end of day they need to grab some great players during the off season or we will be having these discussions at the time next year.

    Crickets from the owners on this disaster. They are happy with the status quo
  16. MABB1959
    Who are the hero’s?
  17. MABB1959
    How many playoff games have they won since the FO got here? Although some of the currents players were not picked by this FO the one thing they have missed the boat on big time is improving them or letting them go. Also this is going on 20 or 33 years depending your version of success.
  18. MABB1959
    The last 3 games were indescribable and I can’t see any positives at all. Which of the everyday Twins would make a lineup with a contender?
  19. MABB1959
    I don’t trust their judgement one bit.
  20. MABB1959
    There should have been 25-30 difficult conversations this season. Maybe there were and we don’t know. Just remember the player only meeting and that lasted less than a week
  21. MABB1959
    Why can’t we have both a bat and BP help? Figure out who could be traded or can they do cash considerations All though after the last 2 games I don’t think either would get them too far or even into the playoffs this season. So maybe stand Pat, see what we have and SPEND like crazy in the offseason. But seems they need a FO that can recognize talent and a medical staff to make sure we don’t waste money on soon to be injured players.
  22. MABB1959
    Seems likely Lewis is another Buxton and what have they learned from this debacle. Trying to keep Buxton healthy even though is has been extremely detrimental to the team. Play Lewis where he can help the team and see if he can stay healthy for the rest of season. If not all I can say is here we go again. I would put him out there to see what kind of interest. I think most decent teams wouldn’t offer anything of proven value for him.
  23. MABB1959
    Besides releasing Gallo, I would stick with what we have. If I were the Pohlad’s I’d be wondering if Falvey or Levine really know talent when they see it. First, they have traded away many respectable to above average players for absolutely nothing. I wonder if they could tell if they traded a bag of baseballs in good condition for a bag of used softballs. Trading Berrios for SWR and Martin??? They should have gotten so much more for him! I looked at this list of trades and there is not a single one where we were the big winner. In fact I barely recognize any of the names to have even been on the Twins roster. Lots of cash considerations on the list. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/transactions/minnesota-twins/trade/

    Who are the consistent big bats?
  25. MABB1959
    First off I wouldn’t trust this FO’s ability to recognize talent. They have traded away many, many good players for nothing. I think Wallner and Larnach should stay for the rest of the season. Way too early to toss them aside. Polanco coming back may improve this team but not enough to make me believe they will win the ALC. After the easy July schedule they should be way over .500. We don’t have a date for Lewis’ return but I am starting to think he is as injury prone as Buxton and wouldn’t bank on his return. Of course we should still hopeful for the rest of the season with what we have. These next 3 games will be a good way to forecast the rest of the season. If they can’t sweep the Royals I think they will be in a world of hurt. Cleveland is the same boat, they also need to sweep this weekend. If one team does and the other doesn’t we should be able to tell more. Basically saying no single addition is going to move the needle unless they get rid of or sit some of the guy’s barely batting over .200.
