    I guess it would be better if the Pohlad's would do a press conference that addresses some of the frustration we are feeling. Imagine how George Steinbrenner would have said or what he would have done by now. Pretty sure Rocco and the FO would no longer be employed. He wouldn't sugar coat the situation we are in.
  2. MABB1959
    I listened to his post-game interview and his lack of concern about strike-outs and the horrible hitting was maddening. He made it seem like the are one game away from turning this around!
  3. MABB1959
    Way past time to let him learn and take his knocks. How else will he improve. Not like we have an amazing team and he is causing them more losses. Plenty of bonehead defensive mistakes from many others

    I would bet 99% of the players on the roster would be thrilled to be traded, especially those in the prime of their careers. Money is important to them but the thrill of a going deep in the play-offs, a game 7 of the WS is probably something they have dreamed about since they were kids. I am sure Hicks, Berrios, Arraez and other or soon to be talented players inside were jumping for joy to go to a new team. Not just because this team won't likely make or go far in the play-off but the fact the Pohlad's don't care probably factors in. Now that the FO seems to be inept at recognizing talent it will be even harder to attract the good to great players

    When will the team get production from SWR and Austin Martin? Don’t hear much about them. Been 2 years since they traded one of the best pitchers we had. I know he wanted out but makes me wonder how much the FO recognizes talent.
  6. MABB1959
    I was just as confused. My hope was if he got a hit or RBI(s) it could have built his confidence. One other thought is they thought Buxton was so good he didn’t need Spring Training. Now I think he was still injured and they tried to hide it so it wouldn’t affect ticket sales. Same could go for Correa.
  7. MABB1959
    They have changed everything but Rocco and the FO multiple times. Not sure we can lay this on him. They obviously need more practice but motivation as well. I thought Correa would bring some of that. Arraez would bring a spark to this team. Watching the two highest paid players flop doesn’t help motivation wise.
  8. MABB1959
    I loved Hicks. He had some personality like Arraez and a few others. We got absolutely nothing back.
  9. MABB1959
    Desperate times for desperate measures . I would at least put Buxton in CF for a couple of weeks to see if it helps. If his body can’t take it then maybe he could medically retire or waive his no trade clause to see if a change of scenery would help. But sadly I think he may be done because something is very wrong it may be physical or mental.
  10. MABB1959
    Why doesn’t the media ask questions or Rocco address the strikeout situation in the press conferences?
  11. MABB1959
    Why was Lewis not starting? Why was Buxton sitting after only 2 days after coming back from the IL? Is there something more seriously they are worried about?
  12. MABB1959
    Especially after last week when it looked like they were starting to click and Correa was amazing
  13. MABB1959
    How about a simple explanation. Rocco was seriously out managed in this series.
  14. MABB1959
    I feel bad for Buxton. The team IMO has tried to prevent him from injuries more than any other team would. Just DHing has not done the trick at all. So hard to watch this season. I wonder if they have tried a sports psychologist? He can’t hit, when he does he isn’t allowed to use his speed and can’t slide. I think for his own good he should be allowed to play CF and run and steal. I am getting an eerie feeling he is pretty much done. This is actually way worse than what we experienced with Mauer,.
  15. MABB1959
    Line-up for now. I am not sure what else you could mean. Overall managing would that be putting Buxton in CF or calling up Wallner and DFA Kepler? I would never change a line-up that is hot. Playing Buxton right now does not make the line-up better.
  16. MABB1959
    Is that Buxton in the picture if it is LOL.
  17. MABB1959
    Throw away your stupid tablet and manage the games. I would have left the roster the way it was on the mini hot streak even if that meant leaving Buxton on the bench.
  18. MABB1959
    Jose Berrios! I could be wrong but I don't think he has spent a day on the IL. He works hard in the off-season to stay in shape and it shows. Maybe he should hold off-season camps. There are most likely many Twins who could take advantage of it.
  19. MABB1959
    There are a few posters that live to nitpick and throw out all kinds of stats. I posted about my all-time favorite pitcher who said he had a bad year last year and a bunch of stats from then and could or would not look at this year. For some that is what they like to post. When you post you have to take that flack.
  20. MABB1959
    Not analyzing stats Rosario, Arraez and Escobar make watching baseball fun and that has been rare for us the last few years. I loved the play-off series he was in. It was so exciting to have a team to root for. If I remember right they let him go and we got nothing.
  21. MABB1959
    More than stats I love how he approaches the game and watching him pitch was fun. He had a bad year (he was not happy and did not make excuses) and so far it looks like he spent the off season working on his game. His work ethic and keeping in tip-top shape is impressive and can't remember him spending time on the IL. He typically gives his team 7 innings a value not noticed. I also know he did not want to be here, he wants to spend the prime of his career with the Twins. So far we got 2 players back that have not helped the team and not sure they will. He will always be one of my favorite Twins pitchers after reading this in MLB I am really proud to be a fan! José Berríos carries no-hitter into 7th in Blue Jays' win (mlb.com)
  22. MABB1959
    As a fan, I would hate to see him go but they need to start doing what is good for the team and not turn into another Kepler frustration. IMO they seem to have a hard time parting with struggling players but many fan favorites have been traded and went on to do well. The Eddy's were let go, Berrios of course our love for Arraez and seeing him turn into a top player.
  23. MABB1959
    They are almost a NO GO at winning a Wild Card spot.
  24. MABB1959
    Is Buxton back? No updates on MLb. I think today is his expected day to be back???????
  25. MABB1959
    I wouldn't go there yet. The Twins MO is to replace the other coaches and that seems to have never worked. I would go higher and let Rocco go. He calls the game right? Tells the hitter when to swing and when to not? I am not 100% sure but letting Rocco go could force a culture change. IMO they need a coach who has a clear understating of statistics but does not call the game solely based on them.
