    It's been 6 games and except for a few the team as a whole is nothing to brag about. Against LA the twins had 6 total hits. If you are going to bench him or trade him send Kepler with him.

    I would add the inability to watch on TV has hurt. How do you get to know a team when you can't catch a game on TV. Second is inconsistent line-ups. I would be nice to have mostly the same players play each game. Get over the stats and who bats better against which pitchers.
  3. MABB1959
    What about right field?
  4. MABB1959
    Not 1/3rd. But stay away from the Northern most states. There is still snow on the ground. Someone had a better idea, shorten the season and start later. Games cancelled so far MN, NY, Detroit. It is going to be 41 degrees at first pitch time today. Is that really a good idea to play when it is that cold?
  5. MABB1959
    They need to build an algorithm into the schedule that does not have games in MN and a few other states before April 15th or later. So depressing not to have an opening day. Kind of setting up the season already sad. How cold is too cold to play and are there going to be injuries from playing in 50 degree weather?
  6. MABB1959
    Finally someone moving Kepler down. Not sure what is wrong but his ST is not off to a good start.
  7. MABB1959
    How long will they keep going with Kepler?
  8. MABB1959
    When will our front office(s) learn that the Yankees always trade up and give us garbage! Hicks/JR Murphy sound familiar?
  9. MABB1959
    Not sure why we traded away Suzuki in 2014. He has a some decent years. Seems better than what we have had.
  10. MABB1959
    The Yankees always know what they are doing. Oh my!
  11. MABB1959
    Seems like a great trade. Just don't want to see an article in 2022 about Gray being out for the season
  12. MABB1959
    Any trade with the Yankee's makes me nervous.
  13. MABB1959
    When do the players feel the hit?
  14. MABB1959
    I hope the whole season is cancelled. Twins most likely won't be competitive anyway. We can all become Saints fans instead and get to know who will make the Twins a better team. Sick of the players who make more money in one year that most of use make in 5-10 years (talking about the lowest salaried players). Sick of the multi-million dollar players making the price of going to a game unaffordable for those of us who won't make that kind of money in their lifetime. The owners? There are a few to respect, the ones who spend money to build a competitive team. The Pohlad's don't run the Twins that way or at least it seems that way. We get a player like Berrios and let him go when he is what we have been waiting for. Can't believe they signed Buxton. Never thought the would make a deal. Maybe they didn't expect him to sign either. We lived though 2020-2021 without a lot more. I can't watch any games on FSN because of the Dish TV/Bally's nonsense but I am not going to switch providers to watch a team that makes you pull your hair out. I would be quite an awakening for all the greedy players/owners to realize who pays their salaries and helps them turn a profit!
  15. MABB1959
    Does anyone else not care anymore? 2022 is most likely a lost year for us anyway. I am sick of high paid athletes and when I say high paid I believe the lowest level is $500,000. They are getting this to play a game. The ones paid multi-million are just people who are good at a game. I hope they sit out a year unpaid and see how they like it. I would love to make $500,000 a year at work and I work 52 weeks a year so I have zero sympathy for any of the players. Never a fan of owners to start with. Let all these greedy people go without revenue or a paycheck for a year. I do have sympathy for others affected like the restaurants or stadium workers but the job market is good now so hopefully they land on their feet. If you really love baseball the Saints put on a good game.

    As a kid you dream of making the MLB, part of that dream is playing in a WS or at the very least the League Championship. Would you really want to play for a team that will probably never get there or is mostly uncompetitive? We rarely even re-sign our talent let along sign more. Rosario got his dream last year and it was exciting to watch imagine what that felt like. I was 100% shocked that Buxton wants to spend the prime of his career with a team like this, especially after what they pulled with his playing time. I would love to find out how many players have the Twins in their no trade clause. The Twins are truly a team that cannot develop their players and IF they do rarely keep them. We have been waiting for a Berrio's caliber pitcher since Johan Santana who left 15 years ago. We have had a few good closers but they play one inning and it is only exciting when they are in a tight meaningful game. I don't count winning the Division (especially the Central) as successful if they can't even win ONE playoff game. It is more depressing than it is worth. It has to be well known in the entire league that this team is a dumpster diving team. Our prospects take WAY to long to get here.
  17. MABB1959
    I am going to say most want to go to a team with a chance to contend for a WS. Not just win the division only to be knocked right out. Weather may be a factor if they plan on living her fulltime and finally TAXES
  18. MABB1959
    So SS choice: Sign a highly paid player? Go with Royce Lewis/Gordon and see what you have? Outfield: Play Celestino and move Kepler to 4th outfielder to see what he has? This year seems to be the year for all 4 of these players to compete to win the full-time job for 2023.
  19. MABB1959
    Just how long do you wait. Just saying give him this year and if he is not MLB ready will he ever be?
  20. MABB1959
    Can Celestino play right field? Seems Kepler is the weakness if Buxton stays healthy?
  21. MABB1959
    I didn't read the comments yet. What's the deal with Royce Lewis? Was it a total fail as a first round first pick? He was drafted in 2017. If he was that great why isn't he here or coming in 2022. I would bring him up give him 2022 and stop the if's/guessing. I would not spend that much on a 2022 SS. Let Lewis come up and thrive or fail. We are letting Kepler stay could Lewis be worse?
  22. MABB1959
    Can't hurt but why are the Twins always signing or waiting for the hope and pray players. Pretty much sick and tired of it.
  23. MABB1959
    When I saw the headline, I was curious that you could find 5 good things. I would give them one and that is Buxton. Nelson Cruz twice? Plus the fact he is no longer here? I see we got some prospects for Nelson but not sure they can be graded for a year. Pineda (hasn't played much). Polonco is a good player. But resigning him is a stretch for a great move. I think 5 is a stretch and the only thing to stay positive are how will the players we got for Nelson Cruz pan out?
  24. MABB1959
    Okay, this may be the dumbest question ever and keep in mind I am not into statistics. I don't see that we have done well acquiring players by statistics. That is just me and probably not many on this board. Okay for my dumb question.....we had Berrios and now he is gone. Now we are looking for pitchers that may not even come close to what he brought or could have brought to this team. Why don't we keep the players we need? We let them go as soon as they are ready and then either start dumpster diving (hope/pray for one more good season) or we just go without. It makes no sense at all when we have a player the caliber of Berrios (and a few others) and let him go only to not be able to come close to replacing him. I could see letting him go if we had 3-4 #1 starters but we let him go for "maybes" Doesn't anyone else get tired of waiting for maybes and then sending them packing when they get to be somebodies? I want a good team but just as important a consistent team. I want Berrios, Eddie-Eddie-Eddie, Cruz, Escobar, Hicks and others back. Those were the ones we waited a long time to get here and as soon as they have a decent or on the brink of a decent season they are gone. They are extremely patient with Kepler and a few others but let the better players go.
  25. MABB1959
    I don't remember seeing much of the players you mentioned. Maeda (injured), Theilbar did he actually pitch for a different team? Wisler (non-tendered) was he that good? Odorizzi 6.59 ERA last year with the Twins. If he was so good why did they trade him? I could agree with Maeda but we really did not see that much from him.
