    I don't know what is worse, the weather there today or their pathetic offense! What a snoozefest of an offense!!! How many guys are hitting around .200, let alone have very few rbis??!!!! I don't know if they have a game plan when coming to the plate, which is part of their job! Yes, I do know that hitting a 4+ inch ball, coming in fast (and at different angles) with a fairly thin "stick" is fairly tough, but these are "pros" and get paid a lot. Striking out 35%+ is unreal....c'mon man!!!!!!

    Meaning they could have their no trade deal waived if beneficial to them and if they had Twin's team interests involved also (they are in good terms with team and are not the types to burn team).
  3. Dawgzilla
    I know, but they could have them waived, under right trade circumstance.

    "Returning" or retiring do to chronic injuries😉, tongue-n-cheek, but touche'! The same for Buxton and Correa= both seem to have hit the perverbial wall. Seems like Buck just swings and hopes to hit something that is in center of strike zone, meaning not much of a professional hitting game plan. I have no idea what is going on with Correa! Not good when your best two hitters have about 13 total rbis and under a totality of .200 average! Sorry for the negativity, but attendances will prove my point in the future! I would pckg both players for multiple high rated prospects for those offering. Paddock and Vazquez could be traded to. El Mustachio and Julien should be in Triple A...for injury insurance, not on the big league roster.

    Brutal is summation! Team has zero "fire"/excitement level! Name a player that is "much watch"? I'm waiting! Buxton would be the closest, but he is still not that. Lastly, where are the player+s) that most teams have come up that are young and explosive (outside Lewis...who is always hurt)? Again, I'm waiting!! By the time they bring a "stud" (cough) up he qualifies for Medicare!
  6. Dawgzilla
    Wow! What a terrible squad! Twins scouting stinks too to exasperate future projections. Twins never bring guys up that they have drafted young that turn out to be real studs! Look at the Braves, Tigers, Orioles, Rays, etc. as examples of having young talent, multiple ones at that, that come up early and are pretty successful; Twins bring their "future stars" up when they qualify for Medicare, if even maybe not a star they thought they drafted, then instructed in minors. Analytics are also somewhat over thought, let alone over rated. Sometimes you have to go by your gut feeling too. Rocko needs to have more fire in his belly, shake the team up a little, like Lasorda, Billy Martin, Earl Weaver, Lou Pinella, etc ..! Bye bye attendance!!!!!

    Brutal games to watch....very boring!!!!??? Again, team can't hit and pitchers fold late in games= disaster and a 4-9 record to go with it. I wouldn't go, even if tickets are free, being I'm from outstate, would have to pay much for multiple good seats (if payed), parking costs, hotel costs, gas to get there, concessions are expensive, etc ..! No thanks! It really is hard to "pay" just watching them on TV, even though my cable did agree to cover them= I'm sure there is a price hikes coming soon for it....whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Dawgzilla
    No impetus to watch...no zip, zest, fire, excitement to. Owners make fans not want to go. Twins can't hit worth a ___! Waayyy to much to go watch a team that isn't going anywhere, let alone not backed by present ownership. Lastly, MLB has a real problem with the money teams and the proverbial "small market teams", meaning most teams have little to no chance in present format to sniff a world series!!!! This also is another reason for poor attendance. Sorry!!!!
  9. Dawgzilla
    Gasper and Julien need to go down, Miranda a little more time, then make a move if no improvement! Brooks Lee should be rostered when healthy and Royce too, obviously.
  10. Dawgzilla
    This is a bad hitting team. Pitching may straighten out, but that means no better than a 77-85 season. No zeal, zest, fire from hitters. But and Correa no way play above 110 games each. A lot of monies tied up for not top 50 players in MLB, let alone physically capable of playing. Like Bud Grant said, "The best ability is availability".
  11. Dawgzilla
    Oh, one last post: How in the h.e. double toothpick aren't the players physically ready for opening day, with over a month to prepare. This also goes for NFL football players, when they say "it is early in the season, they are getting their legs, they are knocking the rust off", etc.?!!!! Whatever!!! They have time......and are PROs!!!!!!
  12. Dawgzilla
    Team has no "it", meaning no fire/zest/reason for excitement. Correa and Buxton will be hurt sometimes, if not season ending injury. There are zero "superstars" on team. Yes, Buck and Carlos are good, but not for how much they are on the field, let alone salary wise. Nice guys, yes, but those don't put the team over the hump. Also, Twins ownership doesn't seem to want a championship. They get new stadium, but never go after a real stud, or two, to actually win in the playoffs. Then, they blame attendance, or lessor of it, for reason for belt tightening. Lastly, the t.v. rights torked many off! How can you support a team that is not "all in", let alone can't watch (outstate market, unless you pay!!!), and tickets/concessions/souvenirs/etc. are outrageous at games! To summize. looonnnggg season, if you can watch or go to game. Looks like biking, going to lakes, going to minor league games, bbqing, etc. is what will happen this summer. Sad!!!!!! MLB needs a salary floor and ceiling, otherwise make two divisions for the "haves and have not"/small market teams away from large market teams!!!!!
  13. Dawgzilla
    Hello no! The parity of MLB is horrendous! Sell the team or move it. If you are in business, you want to always make money, sometimes that doesn't, then adjust. Now, if you are hemorrhaging money continuously, reset, remodel, revamp, etc.....or sell the losing proposition, like to a winner. Like the captain of the w w. 2 battleship Washington said, "move aside, I'm coming through"! His ship was the only battleship to sink another in straight conflict with another. The haves and have not have waaaayyy to much discrepancy in payrolls. Yes, having the highest payroll doesn't always win you a championship, but it surely increases your odds of not only making the playoffs (every year), not to mention always be in contention; the same can't be said for the "small market teams". And don't give me this how many championships the Yankees have won, let alone Dodgers and the likes, most titles were bought through free agency spending, some withstanding!!!

    Not only couldn't they bunt, but they had about 20 steals all year...kidding, but not far from truth. I always like a manager and players that are aggressive, forcing teams to make perfect plays, usually works out for team who is aggressive. I like teams that are "conservative" to a football team trying to maintain a lead with a "prevent defense" which actually prevents you from winning most times!!!!!!
  15. Dawgzilla
    No! Waaaayyy to many injuries! He is talented, but unreliable; as Bud Grant famously once stated, "the best ability is availability"! Nice guy, but trade him, with a caveat: spend more money to bring in a winner for a change, which ownership owes the Twins fans with their "new stadium so we can compete"....what a bunch of dung!
  16. Dawgzilla
    You are either "in it to win it" or sell the team; no more "small market" bull dung! Television rights have to be cleared up too for outstate residents to follow, otherwise you lose them altogether! Payroll must be in the top ten also!
  17. Dawgzilla
    Probably a nice guy, but things need to change. Now, that being said, the Pohlads' need to sell the team to be "competitive", with the recognition they received a new funded stadium to do just that, yet the salary is lower, let alone "mid-tier" in comparison to league average, meaning fans were screwed. MLB has a major problem with the "haves" and "have nots", using "small market" as the usual excuse! I like Buxton a lot, but I would trade him for a player that actually is capable of playing mostly a full season for a change. Correa looks to go on the D.L. o 2-3 times a year for his foot problem, which is chronic apparently. Then you have the Twins always going after retread pitchers, pitchers coming off a major surgery, etc. that can't make it through the first 2 months. Who heck is the medical team doctor when acquiring pitchers??????????!!!! Lastly, two more points: 1) Payroll needs to rise to at least 150 million 2) Television needs to get fixed for outstate residents, whom can't make games regularly! You lose total interest if there are television rights that people can watch, with the caveat can afford too!!!!

    How come Twins never get a stud to come up, permanantly, and play at very high caliber at age of 19-20??????????
  19. Dawgzilla
    Neither....don't be stupid and give up good assets, let alone studs and potential 4-5 tool stars.
  20. Dawgzilla
    Because Calvin Griffith bought team again from the grave and will (again) play at the bottom of MLB team payrolls, meaning many more years of mediocrity and wishing just to make playoffs!😉
  21. Dawgzilla
    Duh! Of course they should be focused on winning, otherwise why play, let alone have them on the field at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. Dawgzilla

  23. Dawgzilla
    First off, the Twins need to actually give the fans a team to root for, meaning spending more than 20th in league spending!!! Secondly, how the F do they not steal a base, let alone move a man over with a bunt??????????? Thirdly, I'm EXTREMELY disappointed in pulling a pitcher after 75 pitches=ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A pitcher will tell you when he is tired or....the hitters will tell him, screw the "analytics" now used in baseball, baseball is baseball, don't overcomplicate it!!!!! Lastly, base running was a joke! I'd rather though have a guy get thrown out, putting the defense on it's heals though, and getting thrown out, but what I generally saw this season was horse dung! There, that should just about sum it up! Oh wait! I forgot about trading for players, namely pitchers, that are HURT!!!! Duh!!! Don't the Twins have medical doctors, let alone scouts, to figure this out???!!!
  24. Dawgzilla
    You always have better stats when you have studs protecting you in front and behind you in the order, like the Yanks had with their team!!!! No to hard to figure out! What do you think Buxton would do in Yanks lineup (probably #1 or 2 hitter)?? He would steal 30+ bases, hit 35 home runs, knock in 110 runs, score 1115+ runs, etc...that is what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  25. Dawgzilla
    Why can't Twins spend more than 130 million, why not 150+, which is still far below what Yanks, Cubs, Phillies, Dodgers, Red Sox, White Sox, Braves, Blue Jays, etc. spend???!!!
