    Huge concern! Not sure if they do not have solid conditioning plans and almost certain that they are not able to rehab most of the players. Too many to name!
  2. MABB1959
    Seems to me that they were aware of Mahle's and Maeda's health before signing.
  3. MABB1959
    I so hope this turns out to be true but for us it never quite happens that way.
  4. MABB1959
    We have this conversation EVERY single year. 2-3 years ago was supposed to be their window of opportunity but instead every year is a total rebuild.

    FO for sure hasn’t delivered and should be fired. If a new front office is brought in Rocco should be gone so a new front office can choose their own manager. The FO has made way too many blunders and bad trades. Given the poor pitching, hitting and fielding it doesn’t appear the bench coaches can’t get it done either. And finally the medical staff. Injuries do happen but the Twins staff obviously has issues with rehabilitation. The players should be held to higher standards. If you can’t hit or make errors they don’t get benched. The only time we saw anything close to discipline was with Celestino last week. We don’t know what goes on behind the scenes but publicaly there hasn’t been a peep of an acknowledgement of failure from the Pohlad’s down. This season was way more of a total system failure than ever before.

    Perfect answer. We have been playing the if game forever. Sure we have a few ALC titles but no playoff wins. This team will most likely be ifffing for the next 10 years. Their window of opportunity is long gone with nothing to show.

    I certainly hope they are giving season ticket holders money back for the savings non season ticket holders will be getting

    How do you stay so positive and hopeful for the future?
  9. MABB1959
    If he did get to a superstar status, the Twins would find a way to let him go.
  10. MABB1959
    Typical and never going to change. We will continue to bargain shop and when we do get a gem let them go with not much in return. We have been waiting 20 years for our window of opportunity. Last blow for me was letting Berrios go and then trying to find someone to replace him.

    I get notifications on my phone and don't know for most part if the players is a Twin or not. That's how "great" this team is.
  12. MABB1959
    Baldelli should be fired right after todays game and the FO should be on probation at the least. So many blunders. Biggest one for me was letting Berrios go. They panicked and took what they could and it was absolutely NOTHING. I don't think Berrios wanted to stay though. No one wants to be stuck in an organization like this in the prime of their careers. We are all about getting the one last hope big name "ex" stars.
  13. MABB1959
    I would say none. Been waiting 20 years for them to figure it out. Our "window of opportunity" was supposed to be a few years ago. What the heck happened to that?
  14. MABB1959
    Kind of hilarious that they were careful with so many players. I assume it was so they would be at their best for post season. Especially pitchers getting pulled when they were on their way to pitching a gem. Well that logic didn’t work out very well. IMO many of the strains and aches and pains could be avoided if they had a better conditioning program. Proper stretching and warming up is very important. IMO gymnastics is much harder on knees/joints and muscles than baseball. Mine practice 4 days a week 5 hours at a time. Much of the time is spent with proper conditioning and warmups. Pitchers are certainly different than fielders. Fielders make 3-4 plays and hit 3-4 times. To me that doesn’t seem like it would take such a toll. Running the bases should not cause the injuries it does. Just seems odd that a sport like baseball can be that hard physically.
  15. MABB1959
    Same thing year after year. The only way not to get frustrated is to come to terms that this team probably will never turn it around. They can’t or won’t get an Ace or even #2 quality pitcher. My guess is no pitcher in the prime of his career would not to waste it with the Twins. When we do get quality players they let them go for little to nothing. I am 100% sure Berrios did not want to stay. He has bigger goals. Probably 3-4 others that got out or want out. Instead they ALWAYS are looking for the cheaper players hoping for resurgence in their career. These players either get worse or can’t stay healthy.
  16. MABB1959
    Maybe the scouting personnel needs to change? How did they NOT see the Mahle injury and what gave them the idea he would be able to play this season. I think an upgrade to the medical staff should be looked at as well.
  17. MABB1959
    So happy, Blue Jays was the free MLB game of the day. Got to see one of my all time favorite pitchers and a real MLB team. Sad that we can only dream of a team like the Blue Jays.
  18. MABB1959
    wouldn't payroll be a part Operating Costs?
  19. MABB1959
    Got it here. Looks like it is total revenue but I could be way off. • Minnesota Twins revenue 2021 | Statista
  20. MABB1959
    I would disagree. We have one player in the top 100 salary wise. Correa at #7 and then all the way down to #105 overall and 35th counting just pitchers with Sonny Gray. I really think they need to pay for a top starter 1-2 and a top DH. Hopefully Correa will be here next year but if not they better make a big signing. I don't understand why MN is considered mid or small market. We have one team and fans most likely from 3-4 states. If they fielded a top team their ticket sales would increase. The other issue is most people not being able to watch them on TV. They receive 268,000,000 in TV Revenue why not spend most of that on payroll? Doesn't matter anyway they are not going to change.
  21. MABB1959
    Not going to change and never will until we get owners who are willing to invest in a WS team.
  22. MABB1959
    It is not a team. It is a mix match of players. I could be wrong but their is not a true closer or DH. Correa, Buxton and Polanco seem to be the only players in their “true” position. The rest seem to be randomly thrown into different positions. IMO total failure in building a roster.
  23. MABB1959
    Is Sanchez a bust too?
  24. MABB1959
    He is having a down year but would still be better than what we got. His ERA is high but he gets further into a game than any of our pitchers. I would WAY rather have him than what we got.
  25. MABB1959
    Is Austin one of the great prospects we got for Berrios? How is the other one doing?
