    rv78 got a reaction from TwinsRealist in What’s Happening with the Twins Outfielders That Have Left Since 2020?   
    No need to look at who is gone, look at who is here.... Wallner is available and probably a much better option than Kepler but the Twins won't make the move that is so glaringly obvious. This FO is so narrow minded that they need to go down with the ship and yes that ship is sinking.

    Let's be clear here that this is not rocket science and it is NOT about the metrics. Too many of our coaches and Front office are focused on this and not the actual fundamentals of the game! 
    And THERE lies the problem. The fundamentals of our hitters at this point IS the issue. 
    The "pull" mentality has been the main issue here as players that are Good at using the whole field have been pulling off the ball to try to hit it Mach 10 and into the 3rd deck instead of putting a solid swing on the ball and hitting the ball where it is pitched. It is SO evident to those that have played and coached that most of this team "pulls off the ball" and their frontside is gone on a good majority of their swings. 
    Result of this is that we hit poorly when in need of situation baseball as you can't just turn that on and off. Preaching and teaching this all the way down the system is and needs to be a priority. 
    When that happens ... our hitting numbers will improve.. until then... expect more of the same. Unfortunately.

    Luis Arraez did not fit the Twins hitting philosophy!  We need a lot of changes in our system of advanced metrics.
