    Laughable!!!!!!!!!!! Just like Twins baseball. Poor pitching, poor hitting, poor defense and poor base running. Where does it all lead back to? Poor management. From ownership to front office to manager. I don't see how this is arguable.

    This team is so bad. "How bad is it?" Starting pitching has gone from "supposedly one of the best in the league to one of the worst. Starting pitching depth has gone from one of the best in the league to one of the worst. Bulpen has gone from one of the best in the league to what the hell is going on? Our offense has gone from pitiful to, well, pitiful. Can't bunt, watching strike 3 in all situations including critical situations. Can't score runners from scoring position with less than two outs. We keep players on the roster that don't belong in the major league like Bride, Kiersey, neither of whom can hit a baseball. Base running is poor. Defense is poor. Don't seem to understand situational hitting. With a few exceptions there seems to be a lack of hustle. What is the common denominator? Management and coaching. Where do we go from here? A good start would be to replace the manager, pitching coach and third base coach. Yep, I went there again. But hey, Twins baseball is downright disgusting. Time for some changes.

    No good nicknames????? How about: Bader - Darth Bader Buxton - Bucky - The Buck Truck Correa - C4 - or Charlie No Hustle Larnach - Lurch France - Frenchie Lee - Broccoli Ryan - Joe Cool Ober - Beetle Bailey Duran - The Undertaker Festa - The Big Slim Rocco - Meathead

    Can McCusker just not handle 1b? At 6'8" I would love to see him tried a 1b. Big powerful hitter with great size, 1b seems like the perfect spot for him unless he just can't handle the throws in the dirt. Does anyone have more info on his fielding?

    Just sitting here wondering, "How are they going to blow it today?"

    When they told France to protect the plate with two strikes, he thought they said protect the state.

    We're good at other things too. Like, like, ......oh, never mind!
  9. Heiny
    It's part of his contract.

    The noise was from the stands. Groans from not scoring with runners in scoring position again.
  11. Heiny
    Yes. Devine intervention.

    Rocco is responsible for all those calls, whether we like it or not. If the players are making the bad decisions on their own, then Rocco has to straighten them out between innings and between games. It can't continue.
  13. Heiny
    And it's Rocco's job to get them to perform. Tom Kelly would turn over in his grave.(If he were dead).

    I actually think that drafting is his "only" strength. We have drafted and developed some fine young pitchers. On the hitting side, there are some really good young hitters coming into there own, like Larnach, Lewis, Lee, Keaschall, Jenkins and others. His biggest problem is his choice of manager, faith in Julien and ownership restraints.

    Watch the Twins or the Big Bang theory? Not sure which is funnier.

    Perkins kisses butt professionally.

    3 balls on the batter and he misses the plate by 2 feet. Why is he on the team?
  18. Heiny
    I just told the wife that they spent more on diamond dry than they took in, in ticket sales. LOL.

    strikeouts looking! where is the coaching? This just continues. Over and Over. Disgusting to the point of laughable.

    Ok, I've read all the comments. But what bothers me about the Twins is this; 1. Striking out looking, especially with runners on base and in scoring position. (Julien sucks) 2. It seems there is a lack of hustle from some of our veterans. Correa often does not run hard on infield ground balls. That's not good leadership. 3. The Twins "can't" bunt. Bunt to move up runners. 4. There are so many oppurtunities to score with runners in scoring position with less than two outs. We fail, fail, fail. 5. Throwing erros on simple throws to first base. What's with that? 6. And give me a break on this " The process matters more than the results". Sorry, but that is total BS. When they figure out that winning matters, you will see more fans in the stands. So, what does this all boil down to? Management! From the top down. Rocco makes bad in game decisions(in my opinion). Shoud he be fired? Yes. It's time for a new look. New manager, new coaches, new front office and please new ownership. There's my rant and I know it doesn't matter at all. And many TD'rs will disagree. But if this is how the Twins are going to continue, the team won't be around long.

    They're worried about power? Kirby Pucket had no power when he came up. He was a slap hitter who hit singles. I believe he is now in the HOF. Comparison? No. But maybe if we let him play baseball for a few years, we will know a little more about him. Is he going to be good. We all hope so. But many top draft picks became busts. On the other hand many top draft picks became stars. Hope is eternal. Projections are just that. I will be optimistic without putting a number on him. He could be Gunnar Henderson or he could be David McCarty. I'll just wait and see.

    See ball. Hit ball. Run to 1st base.

    I'm optimistic. Because I believe in our core. Buxton and Correa stay healthy for 100+ games. Continuing development from Wallner, Larnach and Miranda. Solid if not spectacular catching. Lewis getting healthy. Bader playing ++ outfield defense and stealing some bases. Solid+ SP and BP. Having a very good utility player in Castro and some very promising prospects in Rodriguez, Keaschall, Lee and Jenkins on top of depth in the rotation with Festa, Mathews and others. I predict a rebound with Julien. France and Gaspar are looking pretty decent with the bats. But most of all, I love baseball and its spring. I'm going to be "able to watch the games on tv all season. I'll be optimistic until proven wrong. If I can't be optimistic in spring there would be no reason to get excited about the baseball season. I predict the Twins to win the division with 90+ wins. How's that for optimism. Have tickets for April 5th & 6th against Houston and hopefully several more games this year. See you at the ballpark, hopefully with many smiles on Twins fans faces. BooYa.

    Assuming France wins a roster spot and Lee wins the 2b spot, the bench looks like Vasquez, Miranda, Castro, and Bader. No room for Julien in this scenario. If Gasper comes north then Lee would also start in St. Paul. In any case I just don't see enough roster spots for both Lee and Julien. Lees' defense is far superior and I'm not convinced that Julien has even earned a roster spot at this point.

    At 19 years old, Hill is a fantastic prospect. At 6'5" as a left hander already throwing 98 mph his future could be the best prospect to ever come out of the Twins system. However, he is still just a prospect and we all know how that can turn out. This will be a "super" situation to watch for Twins fans. I really like the Twins prospects at this point. Just imagine the possibilties 3 to 4 years down the road.
