    Our studs or so called studs are here but they have not been managed well by anyone. Sano all sorts of trouble and this year he really couldn't hit. Buxton biggest baby ever! The rest seem to play inconsistent baseball, you see a glimmer of a star one year and then gone the next. Berrios should have went all 9 yesterday. No one scored anyway. Cruz is a good DH maybe we could do better. If i could keep 3 players I would go with Berrios Cruz and Mehta. I am pretty sure they all would prefer to play on a different team anyway. Imagine Berrios in Pin Stripes! Buxton would not be babied like he is here.

    Horrible and disappointing and that is putting it mildly. This was our time and now it is very close to rebuilding time and we have not won a single game since the must have to win Target field was built. Blame can go everywhere. My biggest complaint about this year was pulling Mehta and Berrios in the 5th inning or around 75 pitches I think they wanted to stay in they are both COMPETITORS who want to win anything else is a failure. What the flip was Baldelli saving them for? Buxton must have been cleared to play so why was one of our best on the bench? Is he a big baby that can't play with a hang nail or is it management trying to save for something? If he is that big of a baby get rid of him now. The whole bunch of them either played like a deer in headlights! Not professional at all!

    Buxton has to play the rest of the games or we could be resting him for nothing or to play the Yankees in the first round.

    Why do they pull Berrios and Majeda so early. If anyone can work out of a jam it is them. Seems like if a pitcher lets a team score 2 runs they are pulled. Seems they are pulling more often after 5 innings now than 7. I would trust either of these two even if they have 100 pitches more than I trust some people in BP.

    How about sitting Buxton so much? He sat out last Sunday, one of the double header games. Team off 2 days and he is sitting again today? That is a huge worry. Resting him for the playoffs doesn't make sense either because we need to win now to get there. I am worried if we don't get into first somehow we will end up playing the Yankees in the first round so all of this babying him won't be worth it. He can buck up and play for two weeks in a row and if not do we really need him? I love him and watching him play is amazing but it is getting old and FAST.

    Hope Buxton can play the rest of the games. Seems he needs about every other day off right now and we seem to lose those games.
  7. MABB1959
    Why is Buxton a part-time player? This is his prime! Short season and already missed half?
  8. MABB1959
    I didn't hear why Buxton was out yesterday?
  9. MABB1959
    I was wondering the same flipping thing!!!!!!
  10. MABB1959
    I feel like we will end up with the Yankees IF they make the playoffs. I hate this! Disappointment after disappointment!

    I do not condone the police officer who killed George Floyd. I do not have enough facts on why Jacob Blake was shot so many times. I do have an issue with putting Jackie Robinson name into the issue. Jackie went out of his way maybe too far to bring African American's into baseball peacefully. He was and always will be remembered as a hero in baseball. George and Jacob were in the act of criminal activity that put them into the situation. I believe the force was excessive but I have never been in the shoes of a police officer so it is hard for me to comment on what should have been done. In the George Floyd case the police officers have been arrested and charged and depending on the facts of the case the Kenosha officers will most likely be charged too. What kind of "justice" are the rioters burning down buildings and looting looking for justice for or is it just a reason to be destructive? They have not given time for justice in this last case. It took 3 years for the drug addict who murdered my dad to justice.

    I am torn. I hate that professional sports and celebrities are the people we listen to now. I also think that justice will be done but it takes time. Investigations need to be completed and in this case it may not be easy sorting out the facts before making an arrest. In the George Floyd case the arrests were swift. In my opinion justice is being served and will be in this case too. Besides arresting the officer’s involved what other justice is expected.

    How much credit does Avila get for game calling with Majeda and how much "blame" could go to Garver for Hill's trouble?

    I really don't care if there is a season or not. I can't watch on TV any longer because of FSN and money, now this. The owners want big TV revenue and we pay for that and the players ridiculous salaries and we pay them too.

    I would go to the minor league and start seeing who has it and who does't. Why is Caleb Thielbar still Rochester, he is 32. Bring him up give him one last chance and move on. I have always felt like the Twins keep players in the minor leagues too long. There are 3 others over 30 in AAA. Give them one last shot and be done and let then next group move up to AAA. Bring the 25+ guys from AA to AAA and give them 1-2 more years and then be done with them.

    How many years left? This year and next? My biggest fear is Buxton, Sano and Berrio will go with free agency. They will get decent to above average money where ever they sign and it doesn't seem like anyone wants to sign here.
  17. MABB1959
    It would be nice to get to the ALDS or even play in a WS win or not. These one and out with not wins is depressing. IMO we will never get there. Possible chance next year if Cruz can hold up and they get an Ace. After next year our major players will start Free Agency and we will start another rebuild.

    Berrios was learning a lot for E Santana before he left.

    101 wins was great! Not winning a game in the playoffs not so great.
  20. MABB1959
    Wasn't that last year? I guess extending would count. I have to believe they know what they are doing but I am afraid last year was our year and we didn't have the pitching to go all the way. I

    I would HATE to see Buxton or Sano go. I would not like Rosario or Kepler to go. But that being said wouldn't it be better to trade one now before they hit free agency and get nothing? Is it possible they will sign them before free agency and it will all be good? Do you think Buxton or Sano would lock in early or wait? We have 3 years left of Buxton and I read somewhere that Sano is the least likely to be resigned. They ticked off Buxton last offseason not sure what that will do. Could Sano and a few minor league players get us a good pitcher in the prime of his career or do you think it would take Buxton?
  22. MABB1959
    I honestly do not know much about the 2 new pitchers and have heard Donaldson's name over the years but is this just like the dumpster diving we are used to? Is the new front office better at dumpster diving? Seems like we are just getting older players near the end of their careers.

    It sure seems like it. Hoping 2019 wasn't a fluke like it seemed 2017 was. Latest big name signing was Cruz it was awesome but not huge. Twins right now have 2 players over 10m an year. A pitcher and a DH. Odorizzi plays every 5 day and Cruz bats 4 maybe 5 times a game. The fans came back and it is time to do something huge now
  25. MABB1959
    And we know they won't spend or can't get it done. NEVER HAVE NEVER WILL.
