    It would make it easier on our pitchers to get a little run support.
  2. MABB1959
    Where is Lewis?

    That is the most disturbing factor in the last week. Absolutely NO WAY should Wallner have been sent, down. It is like a slap in the face and would make me want to get away from being part of the Twins team. Kepler needs to be moved to the bench or let go right now. Wasted at bats for what should be an offense position. The games in the last week were fun to watch (I got to see one on AppleTV and another on Fox9). They were for the most part competitive and we got a glimpse into the future. When Correa and Buxton are healthy and I mean healthy, not just hanging on by a ligament they should be a a place in the lineup where the worst hitters play until they can prove otherwise and they should be told the bench isn't that far away.

    A good competitive game!

    It would probably be better if they were upfront so fans (who pay a large part of their salaries) were honestly updated so we can set expectations. Seems most likely he won’t play any position other than DH for the rest of his career. Or at least be clear on his health (knee injury will heal and when or worse the chance of it healing is xx%). The fans would or should not have to endure this extreme frustration and move on.

    Front Office: Correa signing. I think they missed seeing what the other 2 teams saw. Front Office: Not being forthcoming on the whole Buxton issue, we deserve to know more. Last thing I heard is they would start letting him be in the field in May. If Buxton is the Twins DH for the next 6 seasons it is going to be detrimental to the team. I don’t ever see him being above average or maybe even an average DH. I think they had to see this coming before they signed him to his new contract Front Office: Trading away Arraez. Hopefully the trade evens out but very disappointing that they refuse to spend on a top tier pitcher. Not convinced yet that Lopez will be top tier but too early to judge Front Office: Berrios trade. I know Berrios wanted a new team and would have left. We have yet to see anything from the players we got back. Think they were too hasty in this trade. Rocco: For continuing sending Kepler out day after day. He should be a bench player if even that. Rocco: No intuition, just playing by stats.

    Funny but so true at least for me. That and the news of potentially being able to watch games again made my week!
  8. MABB1959
    It is kind of like the Mauer nightmare. He was probably the most valuable catcher EVER! Seems like once they moved him to 1st he was a shadow of what he was or what we were used seeing. If all Buxton can do is DH for the rest of his career, it will be hard for the team to win and can't imagine what he is going through from being what was to what he currently is.
  9. MABB1959
    Except for Arraez and Urshela! Kind of kidding but if .265 is acceptable at that salary (he is 11th in salary) he would rank 72nd in avg and 89th in RBI's.

    I will gladly pay $20 a month to see all games. Had Dish, once I realized Bally's wasn't coming back went with YouTube TV and really like it. I also have Hulu, Netflix and Paramount+ and AppleTV. Add an MLB subscription and it is still cheaper than Dish. So my $162 a month to Dish is still much lower
  11. MABB1959
    Probably mentioned but I am not too anxious for Correa, Buxton or Kepler in the line-up. I liked the last game against Houston and they seemed to come alive after the above 3 left the game.
  12. MABB1959
    Okay…Lewis started great in is first 2 games, he gets benched and doesn’t have a hit so far. Last night great lineup so why not leave it alone?
  13. MABB1959
    For me it is not a fascination of pushing but more a chance of winning the game. Going to the Twins bullpen is often a disaster.
  14. MABB1959
    I could agree but I don't think the coaching staff has a clue
  15. MABB1959
    They have coaches in the big leagues to work with him on defense right? He is not going to get the experience need to improve his defense in AAA?
  16. MABB1959
    To be honest I don't know but taking a pitcher on a roll out of the game before the 7th inning is ridiculous. I guessing their is a statistic out their that show often injured pitchers with average innings played and number of pitches thrown. I think the player should decide how they are feeling at the time. If they say good to go for heavens sake let them go. I think Rocco panics too soon and doesn't give our great starters a chance to get out of a jam.
  17. MABB1959
    I bet they are both thrilled to get a chance on a contending team or at least not the Twins who IMO will never spend what is needed and I question their ability to see a good player.
  18. MABB1959
    With the right coaching I think they can improve their defensive weaknesses but doubt that would have happened here. That trade really hurts!
  19. MABB1959
    If they released him and someone picked him up would that team take on his contract. Is their a team that would possibly do that? If so that would be a win-win, Kepler may do better on another team and stop the almost automatic out for the Twins? Did they maybe learn a team friendly deal isn't always the best? I really believe his is done and Wallner has earned his spot. Right???
  20. MABB1959
    Is their a trend of players pitching at least 7 innings or 100+ pitches hitting the injury list the next day?
  21. MABB1959
    I think Rocco should ride this line-up for a few more games. I know it is at home and fans want to see Buxton and Correa. Kepler absolutely should be pulled. This may give fans a chance to get to know the other players What other game do they sit the hottest players? I would go at least one more game to see what happens. This would give last night's players a "reward" for their hard work and incent others to play to their best or back to the bench.
  22. MABB1959
    Love it! Buxton, Correa and Kepler deserve it. Especially Kepler yet there he is.
  23. MABB1959
    I don’t see them as contenders. Maybe the ALC but not hard to contend. Winning at least one playoff round doable??
  24. MABB1959
    Is .265 good. I guess I would expect nothing less than .300+ for that kind of money. What do you see to expect.265?
  25. MABB1959
    I think they should let Kepler go and pay him out unless someone picks him up. Wasting too much time. Seems like all it takes is one hit and he is back on the "A" list or in the Twins case the C- list as most are
