    No way. The only reason I’d even let him into a game is if the season is over and we have no chance. Even then it’s not worth it. Let’s see what he has next year. If I’m being honest though I’m counting on very little #5-6 type starter if we’re lucky. Hope I’m wrong though

    Kiriloff on the bench equals Miranda at 1st. Buxton sitting puts Lewis in CF. I’m with you, it’s either give Miranda 3b or not but I think all of these things factor into it.
  3. Battle ur tail off
    I'd keep him around. I don't expect full seasons from Lewis or Kiriloff. Not ready to write them off for next year, but I would hedge my bets on both of them. They are both injury prone, no less of a risk than Buxton is. So, say Correa opts out and doesn't come back, Lewis plays 40 games, Kiriloff 75. Now you need him. I don't EVER want to see Aaraez play over at 3rd and Miranda, IMO, should split time between 3B, 1B and DH with Aaraez(no 3rd for him though!). Even if Lewis and AK stay healthy, look at our outfield this year, we are scraping for bodies. IDK, I just hate letting go useful players, especially when they would be on a one year deal. I think if nothing else, Urshella provides you insurance to injury and honestly, he has been available as much or more than any Twin. I bring him back all day, especially since it is just one year, unless there are plans to pursue someone else. I just can't or won't count on Lewis, AK, Buxton, to give you more than an average of 80-100 game each.

    Yep trade the guy that won the batting title for a couple prospects. He’s young, cheap, takes great at bats, doesn’t miss time. Then you list off a bunch of guys with extensive injury histories. The best ability is availability. Just say no to moving Aaraez

    Megill and Pagan have the longest rope of anyone on the staff. It’s embarrassing and stupid. Megil is a super useful reliever with a great fastball. Very effective if he is used correctly

    And now Rocco is going to leave in one of his favorites while he blows the game. book it here. 2 more runs will score
  7. Battle ur tail off
    That was bad. Contact, bunt, run a first and third play SOMETHING!!!! Cant just go hacking with no plan at all. This is a time Rocco flat has no clue. And people will continue to defend situations like this…
  8. Battle ur tail off
    First thing. I'm done with Archer. Let Sanchez, or Smeltzer or Varland have his starts or combine 2 of them to get it done. I will actually back Rocco up this time with his pitching usage. Cleveland lost, White Sox lost, we were facing one of Houston's worst starters don't think for a minute he didn't know this and decided to take a chance to pickup a game. Our "A" bullpen actually did pretty good against their lineup. I am fine with 1 run over 4 innings against that lineup. Our bats just didn't take advantage. See what happens this series. Either way, this team has to hit better no matter who is out there on the mound. They are really scuffling right now.(Thanks Gardy you old scuffler)
  9. Battle ur tail off
    I will take Garlick as well.

    Give us another outfielder. At this point it doesn't matter. I don't want to see Cave or Beckham hitting anymore. Get someone with at least good contact skills and can play a decent outfield. There has to be someone we can DFA Beckham for that can at least not strike out with runners on base, let's go.
  11. Battle ur tail off
    Of course it is. - time to shut him down.? Why would we expect our best player to play when we are battling for a playoff spot? I hate this type of attitude and hate this type of post. Give up basically is what you are saying. There's a reason for the 18 straight playoff losses. This type of attitude is it. Kirby Puckett, ask him if you could shut him down with some nagging injuries in a playoff race. How about Dan Gladden? Think Jack Morris would have been shut down with some shoulder tightness? I get it, we want him for next year. But that is a ways off. Play now, rest later.
  12. Battle ur tail off
    Here's the deal. Last night we are a real outfielder away from winning this game. Against Verlander, on a day we start a AAA pitcher, that has to come out early. Twins are playing pretty bad, but last night wasn't terrible Sans Jake Cave. He can't be in the lineup anymore if he can't even put a ball in play to score a runner from third with less than 2 outs. Give me anyone that can somewhat track down a ball in the outfield and can make some contact. Cave and Beckham have been putrid offensively. Putrid.
  13. Battle ur tail off
    We need outfielders. Ones that can hit preferably. What is up with Gordon, is he out? Cave and Beckham have both killed us since they have been up at the plate. Cave struckout twice last night when he had a chance to drive runners in. Sit him or option his arse.
  14. Battle ur tail off
    Can't wait for the shift to be done. I also hate the zillion strikeouts that now seem to dominate the game as well.
  15. Battle ur tail off
    Jake Cave will stay on the 40 man as he has an option still. I would not be wise to DFA him now with the injury situation to our entire outfield unless you have someone else to take his 40 man spot that can play outfield and judging by the fact we are using Beckham, we don't.
  16. Battle ur tail off
    And what are we going to get out of him? He was not great when he was healthy. This is just adding another Bundy at best. No help, more treading water. Sanchez has been good in St. Paul and had a good game up here. Don't expect more out of Dobnak than a AAA guy that will get a spot start for the rest of his career with the Twins.
  17. Battle ur tail off
    Baseball wide problem. Pitchers take too long between pitches. Guys swing for the fence every pitch so there aren't as many baserunners or balls put in play. Stealing is done, bunting is done. Shifts take away tons of hits. Pitchers only throw a few innings per start. Flat out the game is just not very exciting anymore and hasn't been for quite awhile. It's just bad baseball all throughout the league right now, but MLB just continues to cut their own throats.
  18. Battle ur tail off
    I don't think they fire him no matter what happens down the stretch here. He is their hand picked yes man. They would have to be let go to get rid of Rocco and that also won't happen. I just don't see any scenario he isn't back here next year.
  19. Battle ur tail off
    My guess, unless he gets hot, he comes back. He isn't a player worth giving 2-300 million dollars to. Great player, but I don't see him getting more than 4-5 year deal at best from anyone. Maybe that is all it would take for him to sign on the dotted line and he does opt out and sign with someone for that. Honestly, he and Buxton being terrible at the plate for the last couple months is the #2 reason, behind the bullpen IMO, for their poor play and drop in the standings. Flat out your top 1-3 type hitters have to produce better than these 2 have lately. That said, I would LOVE to have him back next year and will welcome him with open arms should he decide to stay. I love his SS play and I think he is a better hitter than he has shown overall this season.

    Ugly. 6 runs in four games. Come on girls get your heads out. Get swept in Houston and it’s likely done it real close to it IMO. How sad
  21. Battle ur tail off
    This guy needs to be gone. Yes, Twins haven't hit lately, but running this guy out there again and again is just embarrassing. Bring anyone you want up and give them a shot, this guy isn't it. If he "fixes" it somewhere else, so be it. Take this stick away from Rocco, he keeps poking his eye with it.
  22. Battle ur tail off
    Take any pitcher in the history of baseball and the stats will show this same thing ERA increases as hitters see them. What people here are saying is that each individual game, is each individual game. If Dylan freaking Bundy say or any starting pitcher on roster is at 63 pitches with 2 hits and no runs in the 5th, you let him go back out there for another inning. I don't care if he's not Nolan Ryan, he has something going that night. Any MLB pitcher can be in a groove or the other team isn't seeing them good that night and throw a good deep ballgame every once in awhile. It is a manager's job to try and figure out what night that is. Stuff looks great, not tired, low pitcher count, command is good. Let them roll. Consistently pulling guys in the 5th will lead to your bullpen being overworked and overexposed. It is that simple and has cost us games because of the fact that we flat out don't have a bullpen that can be counted on EVERY SINGLE NIGHT for 4 innings. No team does.

    Miranda and Gordon have held this team together and flat out carried them to win the last few weeks or months even. Can't say enough good things about these guys. In fact Gordon against a lefty today did alright. Kid is making a case to be an everyday outfielder. Love it.
  24. Battle ur tail off
    I agree, me too. I have to give the Twins some credit here. I thought 1 or both of them would be DFA'd by June. If we'd not have signed them and had to fill in with pitchers in our system, we'd be digging way way down with the amount of injuries to our home grown guys.
