What I dont understand is why is Berrios our bar to set? He was never "Amazing" at his best he was good, not great. He was never an Ace, and he never will be on a winning team. We need to set our sights higher when it comes to Aces and great pitching.

Berrios is a 2nd or 3rd starter on most competitive pitching rosters. Not really a high bar. He could easily put up Berrios numbers.

Yelling at clouds much? Let the players have their style. Twins need more of that.

Nope

What are you having trouble with? Did you not watch that game? Or read the press conference after?

The Twins have missed something with a lot of players for the past 20 years. Its a theme. I also find it no coincidence that many players from our system in the past 4 years have gone on to become vastly improved players on other teams. This whole teams culture right now, at least at the Major League level is not conducive for making a WS run. Rocco is too soft, not even keeled, soft. These are grown men you are working with Rocco, stop coddling them. Dont have a pitcher go out there and let 15 men get on base and give up 7 runs (Yankees game) and say, "oh, he goes out there and just wants to do everything for the team to win." So does the bat boy. No, he sucked, he's not good enough, and he and everyone else here is going to have to step it up if they want to make this roster next season, let alone play WS caliber baseball. Period. Im so sick of this MN nice mentality, its not a winners mentality.

The As have had more success than the Twins since Target field has opened. Not a good comparison. Berrios is a number 3 on a real competing team. We need an actual Ace. Calm down.

No HRs = no runs for this team. Hopefully their homer happy approach is worked on over the off season.

This is correct.

He more than likely is not worth the $$$ him and his agent wanted. Which is why the Twins pulled the trigger on the trade.

The bar for "Good Pitching" in Twins territory has been pretty low for about 30 years. Lets be honest. There are some fans that still think Berrios was/is an "Ace".

Bunts dont improve launch angles on HRs, sorry. Thats not the Twins way.

Iv switched over to Football mode. Watching training camp highlights. Thats more entertaining than watching the Twins at this point.

Is this more painful than watching the Twins pretend to be a baseball team?

Dont. You KNOW he will turn into Big Papi 2.0 there. Its the way of the universe.

They aren't illegal to watch. That's what most people dont understand and it scares them away when there is literally nothing to be scared of. And sportssurge is based out of the US in Cali last I checked their webserver location. Im just saying its a good option, and its free. Just trying to help.

Can always stream the games for free. I hook my laptop up to my TV and use SportsSurge to watch every game. Works great, have been doing it since 2019.

Hopefully he never returns.

This 10000x , this!

Does it matter? Teams cooked. Him and any other good players we plan on keeping past this year should sit out and rest up. Would rather watch rookies lose.

I stopped watching in early May, knew it was over then already. Now I just randomly check the score when I remember they are playing, if they are winning I might turn it on to finish the game, if they are losing I laugh and move on. Usually check the score in the morning when I get up and if they win I watch some high lights. Other than that, I have enough disfunction in my life, dont need the Twins to add to it.

I turned it off when we walked in the first run. I knew it was going to start going south from there. Showered, went to bed, woke up, checked the score. Acknowledged I made the right decision.

Rocco clearly needs to give them more nap time and less time taking BP and fielding practice.

And you never do see Duffey and TBD in the same room together...hmmmmm

Darn! haha. Im saying TBD has some brothers that are also in the minors ready to make their shot! All have huge up side!
