  1. Was our catcher using that one knee on ground set-up?
  2. Didn't someone call Donaldson a choker, earlier?
  3. I hope the Twins have a kangaroo court. If they do, they need to increase the fines. Mental mistakes...$500
  4. I don't care, my grandma could have made that DP, he'ss still a choker in my book.
  5. Donaldson is a choker. He makes all the plays, until late in the game or crucial situation.
  6. once again, Twins pitcher gets 0-2 count, then throws a waste pitch 3 feet outside.
  7. Umps need to change to Rx sunglasses.
  8. Damn, the A's just don't miss that many pitches cleanly. With the Twins lack of power pitchers, it's a recipe for success for the A's.
  9. They ought to start handing out paper bags to Twins fans
  10. The Cave injury is a real conundrum. While I hate to see someone hurt, especially a Twin, I do welcome his vacant spot on the roster.
  11. I hear you, brother. It's like praying for immortality.
  12. The Twins pitching strategy is so obvious. Get ahead of the count 0-2 or 1-2, then throw 3 waste pitches that aren't even close to temp[ting a hitter to swing. Then the hitter with a 3-2 count, waits for the center cut pitch. An idiot could figure it out. Obviously, not Rocco, Wes, or even our pitchers have a clue.
  13. The Twins are not a bad team in my opinion. They are a decent team playing very bad baseball. There are many reasons why they are struggling. You can blame injuries, players struggling to be consistent, breakdowns in coaching and managing, etc. For whatever reason the team is struggling, it doesn't excuse their mental mistakes, and their overall lack of spirit and pride. They are letting things happen to them, rather than making things happen. Too many center cut pitches swung on and missed. Too many times lack of hustle costing them making a play on defense or offense. Where's Rocco during all of this? Looking at his tablet? When's the last time he got into an umpire's face? It's sometime the little and subtle things that help a team break out of a funk. Nope, same thing every game. Just waiting to win by coincidence, I guess. Fans deserve a lot more than what they're getting in return. I guess I couldn't blame a player here or there who only plays for a paycheck. But, with the size of their paychecks, we should get a little bit more on the return of our investment.
  14. That's alot of money just for defense. I think it would be easier to find a defensive option versus the type of offensive player, Donaldson can be. Also, Donaldson has a terrible recent history with his leg injuries. You may only be able to squeeze 4 at bats out of him, and keep him off the field.
  15. First basic fundamental blown,.........did not advance the runner (Donaldson)
  16. I'll take it, as long as Bremer and Smalley cut their oral production by 50%.
  17. Wouldn't surprise me to see Donaldson as the DH next year. Maybe you can squeeze another season or more out of Cruz. But when the NL adopts the DH, the Twins won't be able to afford Cruz, and he'll probably retire rather than take a pay cut. Once the prize prospect, Sano is nothing more than a burden. When he's healthy, he's good for a few monumental homeruns. Despite the homerun ability, he's not a run producer. So a scenario comes to mind. 3b+Arraez, ss=Simmons, 2nd b= Polanco 1st b= Kiriloff. LF=Larnach, CF= Buxton, RF=Keppler/Garlick C= Jeffers, DH=Donaldson.
  18. PA: Batting fourth and playing shortstop, Judas Issssssssssssscarioooooooooooooot, Iscariot.
  19. Judas Iscariot could fill any position for the Twins.
  20. Post Game: Reporter: Rocco, do you think you guys can sink any lower? Rocco: Most definitely. We'll work and do the best we can. If we suck, we're really gonna suck. Reporter: Do you feel your job is in jeopardy? Rocco: Are you kidding? Who they gonna get who understands software as well as I do?
