    You're on the right track here. Only one to go. Need Colome to step up and fulfill your prophecy today. Rocco makes boneheaded moves before every game when he submits the lineups.

    The Twins are playing the hottest team in baseball. The Braves, Yankees, Rays and Astros are all right there with the Twins as heavy hitters in the power rankings that are off to slow starts or are experiencing a losing streak. It's just the nature of the game. However, if there is something systemic that ends up keeping this team from reaching potential, there is a silver lining. Perhaps, Baldelli will be fired. If the dark lord came to me and said my team could not make the playoffs this year but after this season (or perhaps part way through) there would be no more Baldelli .... Soul sold.

    Not going to panic 10 games into the season with a .500 team on a snowy day after another series of off-field unfortunate events, but Baldelli's lineup today puzzled me. It doesn't get much colder than Garver/Polanco/Sano, and yet it was decided that said trio would be the heart of the order. I know the Cruz scratch f'd things up, but I'm still scratching my head on today's order. Arraez has a career 15% walk rate and 370 OBP against lefties, so I don't understand why he isn't batting leadoff every game regardless of handedness on the mound. Too bad Mike Bell isn't still around to bark in Roccobot's ear on that one. May he rest in peace.

    The sky is falling, but there's another game today.

    Despite another tough, late loss, the Twins are in position to win their first two series and have a winning road trip with a win tomorrow. Projecting doom and calling for players to be benched or sent down is just silly at this point.
  6. MMMordabito
    Sounds like Arraez was pulled for a tummy ache. Damn you, TD Comment Policy!

    Baldelli is an A.I. His lack of soul will probably present come playoff time again. Can you imagine if he had been the manager for the '88 Dodgers or '91 Twins? Gibson and Morris would have never had a chance.

    How about Miguel Sano 150 home runs and a shot at passing Dozier for top 10 all time in Twins history? Also, Miguel Sano - 1000 strikeouts
  9. MMMordabito
    Pfft .. Trudeau Good luck ever getting another team up there.
  10. MMMordabito
    At the end of the 2021 season, Miguel Sano will be #2 in Slugging Percentage, #2 in Strikeouts and #10 in Home Runs on the Twins All-Time Leaderboards.

    Good deal! I'm excited to watch Randy Dobnak fast paced baseball for the better part of this decade.
  12. MMMordabito
    How about Gordon? Time to move on.
  13. MMMordabito
    Apparently

    August 21 @ Yankees looks like a definite mute day, especially if they put Verducci in the booth.
  15. MMMordabito
    I think very well. Same goes for Rooker. Being surrounded by three gold (two platinum) glove winners sure doesn't hurt. Of course, Simmons has to get to the States, and Buxton, Donaldson and Simmons have to stay healthy.
  16. MMMordabito
    Wow ... This is terrible news. I watched Seth's interview this morning and was looking forward to his ascent. I'm glad he's just 21. I think he has the make-up to get through this. Good luck with the surgery and rehab, Royce. Twins Nation is pulling for you.

    Boras isn't a bad guy for wanting to make his client more money, and the billionaires are more likely the bad guys. However, the CBA does exist, the Twins are a mid-market team and Boras has shown he will advise his clients to wait until free agency to do deals. The question here is will three weeks of Kirilloff in 2021 be more valuable than a full season of Kirilloff when he's 29. Will his absence from the lineup in April 2021 have more detriment to the organization in an expected playoff run season than his absence from the team for a whole season when he's 29 and the quality of team is an unknown? The OP stated that an extension could be pursued, if superstar performance was in play. Tatis was used as a comparable. I just don't see the possibility of extension or the higher value of three weeks in 2021. Good guy/bad buy isn't being argued.
  18. MMMordabito
    If Scott Boras wasn't his agent, then I'd agree. There is no chance of a reasonable extension with Boras, so take the extra year of control while you can get it. I don't like the service time manipulation, but it's within the rules. As a mid-market team, the Twins need to take advantage of any opportunity for player control they can get.
  19. MMMordabito
    One of these LH bats will need to move. How about sending Kirilloff and Balazovic to Colorado for Marquez? They might do something like this right now. If Kirilloff became an AS, we could just use the Coors-effect to help settle our trader's remorse.
  20. MMMordabito
    Ramirez is a good bet to lead the league in Walks this season. Knowing that Eddie (still love him) and Reyes are the only other bats in that lineup and are both prone to getting themselves out, why pitch to Ramirez?
  21. MMMordabito
    I agree on that group, especially Smeltzer and Thorpe, to a degree. I'm still holding out hope (possibly ill-advised) on Dobnak. He finished the year 1-4 in the giving his team a chance department. Not a good finish, and he may be figured out. However, I just can't stop rooting for the guy, because when he's on and the defense is on it makes for fun baseball. I hope he ends up being the change of pace pitcher in the rotations of coming years.

    Go shoot some ducks with Willinghammer! Have a blast, Dozier!
  23. MMMordabito
    The Kluber, Clevinger, Bieber, Civale, Plutko, Plesac, McKenzie train is getting old. (I probably forgot someone) C'mon Twins, time for a new Balazovic, Duran, Ober, Canterino, Enlow, Sands, Winder line. All the one 'n' done's in the rotation this year present the perfect opportunity for a segue.
  24. MMMordabito
    Yeah, someone will need to be moved. Someone also will likely not work out. LF, DH and 1B are the only spots these guys can occupy. Sano has two years, and if the Twins pick up the third, that means they were two good years. If Cruz is still producing and still signing by '23, then that will also come off of more productive years. That would be amazing. Hopefully, this will be a good problem to have.
  25. MMMordabito
    Seriously though, I think Buxton, Kepler and Broxton would be the real "Nothing Falls But Raindrops" deal. Just have to win the TTO contest!
