    Twins will promote Toby Gardenhire...duh!
  2. Dawgzilla
    Twins have already attained that status late in the year with dwindling and lethargic attendance. It will be hard to reignite any enthusiasm going into next season. As in the movie Taken, with Liam Neesome quote .."good luck"!!!!!

    Team scouting has been a problem, with few big hits. Then, if you do have a scouting hit, it takes until they are 25 years old+ to get to the majors, almost enough to qualify for social security😉! Touche'! MLB has to have a salary cap floor and ceiling, or penalize the big spending teams more for going over the cap. Lastly, if you never want your team to be at least competitive, every year, sell!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, one final point: people have better things to do with their hard earned money, especially when professional sports are already waaayyy expensive to attend (food, tickets, parking, merchandise, etc.), this also goes for expensive local or out of town tv rights, which most can't afford subscriptions to now!!!?

    Who cares!!! If the ownership/front office doesn't care, we the fans have better things to do with our money, especially in a high inflation cost society. Players, owners, retailers/concessions in sports cost/make to much anyway. Waaaayyy to expensive. Then you have the payroll disparity between the clubs and larger market cities!!!!!!!!!! Gosh, which teams have best chance to make playoffs....every year, with an exception here and there?!!!! Lastly, there looks like a player lockout next year, meaning more disgruntled fans!!!! MLB is destroying itself from the inside out! Oh, one final thing: you need multiple tv/cable/streaming pkgs just to watch a garbage team. Laaaattteeerrr!!!
  5. Dawgzilla
    No one cares really, that is how bad team is, their projections and affection for ownership! Twins can't even run bases right...Martin and Wallner both thrown out, Martin in a stupid non tag...or make sure ball hits ground first, not his only recent base running adventure. Is this Knothole...and do they actually need to learn to bunt, steal, tag, throw to the cut off man, etc ., lat alone not grove pitches to hitters. Good Lord! No one will get the ESPN+ streaming option next year to watch this dog and pony show! Lastly, Mickey Mouse, aka, Mickey Gasper should even warm the bench; he can't hit his way out of a paper bag.

    You have to pay me to go to a Twins game right now, including money to get to cities, my overnight hotel cost, parking and all the beer 🍻 I can drink. If I was a Twins season ticket holder, I would want, er demand, at least a partial refund. Twins today are presently getting destroyed 6-buff, and it is only the second inning! Watching a good game on MLB right now. When is that start of the T-Pups season, let alone Wild's?!!!!
  7. Dawgzilla
    If the pitchers they got in trades were that good, wouldn't they already be on the big club?! Duh! Projections also sometimes don't meet the facts or results. Almost always, you will know when you have someone legit, not always, but mostly! Twins wait forever to bring up their prospect "studs" too (using that term loosely). Lastly, if you don't want to make a commitment to winning for longstanding, Twins fans, then sell the team! So, your family only make a 700+ million profit (after debt and original purchase price)....sell. Oh, lastly, lastly.......MLB needs a salary cap ceiling and floor regardless if Bryce Harper's bemoaning and crying....over his MILLIONS...playing a kid's game!!!!!!!!!
  8. Dawgzilla
    You thought attendance was bad...just wait. Remember the A's last year in the Colesium? That is this team and next year's. Season ticket holders should ask for their money back, let alone not renew. The MLB commissioner should have halted the assault on the Twins roster yesterday. Now, especially now, there are the big money teams. ...and the the rest, meaning no chance. Good luck with that! By the way Harper can f off. MLB needs a cap floor and ceiling. Period!
  9. Dawgzilla
    A couple of things: You don't give up young stud players you still have under cost control for a number of years. Try being aggressive more on bases (Twins are always base to base...steal for crying out loud...make other team make mistakes). Bring studs up earlier rather when they reach social security age (either they are players by 24 or they are not). Sell team soon. Fire g.m. Next year, don't sign pitchers coming if T.J. surgery or bottom feeder position players late in off season (outside Bader this year). Reduce ticket/concession prices to lure families back...creating a bigger and newer fan base. Make t.v. more available to more, at a reasonable price. You are welcome!!!
  10. Dawgzilla
    Sad state of affairs!!! MLB needs a salary cap (floor and top end)....and Harper can eat it. Baseball isn't fair to over half the clubs right now!
  11. Dawgzilla
    Correa, although a great teammate, hadn't lived up to his salary. Also, Twins go cheap in fre agency bin. Bader has been decent. Lastly, Twins bring up their prospects by the time they qualify for social security; if they haven't figured out they are good enough by 23...seek new scouts.
  12. Dawgzilla
    It almost looks like he forgot how to hit. Did he do any off-season baseball activities? Where is the plate discipline, let alone power???!!!
  13. Dawgzilla
    Trade either Jax or Duran....and don't get screwed...get 2 legit, high end prospects ..minimum. See if Correa would also drop his ni-trade claus ang get a few more high-end prospects. Wallner has to go down and Keashall is now a mainstay. The other rookie (can't name him...outfielder...can't hit ..period). If Ryan is traded to Red Sox, get more than just Duran (who I like a lot)...also need a very high-end prospects in deal. Now, in summation, Twins will have a new ownership next year, let alone can fill squad with better free agents in positions if need (predicted higher budget), and not borderline players, let alone starting pitchers coming if TJ surgeries!!!!!!!!!!

    Name This Twin, May 12
    Donald Duck?🤪
  15. Dawgzilla
    That IS pitching. That was fun to watch (Ryan)! I was a pitcher and was real happy the way Ryan pitched. He used his amazing slider perfectly, and spotted his fastball (at his locations), kept defense in game (low pitch counts), etc.! Twins offense still struggled, but Ryan's game kept me watching! His stats this year are All-Star; he will probably be only Twin making that game.
  16. Dawgzilla
    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!!!!!!
  17. Dawgzilla
    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).
  18. Dawgzilla
    I know, but they could have them waived, under right trade circumstance.
  19. Dawgzilla
    "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.
  20. Dawgzilla
    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!
  21. 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!!!!!
  22. Dawgzilla
    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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  23. 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!!!!
  24. 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.
  25. 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".
