    Ober was rolling, nothing hit hard for 3 innings. Floro is terrible. What are we even doing anymore? We literally acquired him for Jorge Lopez smh
  2. Azviking101
    Duran…you’re trying to record an out not drag your foot like Cris Carter on a sideline catch
  3. Azviking101
    Good thing Polanco isn’t a third baseman and never has been
  4. Azviking101
    He’s a hitting outfielder not a fielding one
  5. Azviking101
    Polanco should start swinging with his eyes closed. He might come closer to making contact
  6. Azviking101
    Today shows why it’s so imperative for fans not to overreact over one or two bad games
  7. Azviking101
    Continues to amaze me how many non major leaguers are currently on this roster but Falvey said they just couldn’t part with anyone at the deadline. Gallo, Balazovic, Winder, Sands don’t belong on any MLB roster but here we are
  8. Azviking101
    You can be upset all you want at the bullpen or Rocco for “mismanaging” it but the problem boils down to Falvey not doing anything about the bullpen when it obviously needed help. If the bullpen blows the chance to finally win a playoff series then he needs to go.
  9. Azviking101
    Falveys inability to recognize the need for bullpen help is really going to ruin their chances to finally win a playoff series isn’t it? They could have given up like 4 prospects in the 20-40 range that none of us had ever heard of for two bullpen guys or could have spent like 11 million in the offseason or even evaluate internal options better (Hoffman, Hamilton, Coulombe, Cano) Falvey just has to pretend to be the smartest guy in the room

    Time to get Ober some rest 438 feet to Miggy is embarrassing. He’s about the worst player in baseball nowadays
  11. Azviking101
    Oh great Stewart to the 60. Great job not bringing in relief help. Glad to know that the twins can’t evaluate injuries at all
  12. Azviking101
    I think one piece of context that’s often missed is that the league wide OPS is over .800 for the intl league and era is over 5. He’s been great and there’s credit to be given, but all these AAA guys have great OPS’ for a reason. Hitting stats in this league are just so bloated every year

    Either Falvey remains so shell-shocked by his recent trade failures or he's so sure he's keeping his job that he has become this complacent. What an absolute failure especially with Brock Stewart having a setback this past weekend. The best overall pitching staff most of us have ever seen on the Twins and a chance to beef up the top heavy pen and potentially add a right handed bat so we don't have to see so much of Gallo, Castro, MAT, Farmer and they just punt the opportunity away just like they did in the offseason. We all recognize the playoff losing streak and Twins curse. We also recognize this curse most likely stems from terrible pitching staffs in years they make the playoffs and taking advantage of the terrible AL Central which has been the worst division consistently for nearly 2 decades now. And because they did nothing and haven't cleared a 40 man roster spot they're going to lose Keuchel who did everything they hoped for in AAA and more. How many good players has the duo of Cole Sands and now gone Jake Cave blocked by being on the 40 these last few years? At least call up some of the minors bullpen help in guys like Funderbunk and Boyle dominating AAA, but they'd rather stick with Moran, Ortega, Sands.

    Rocco is really lucky removing Julien didn’t come back to bite him. The chance Taylor steals against a lefty is slim and his sprint speed isn’t that much better that it likely would have mattered on a two out double. Rocco can’t be making those kinds of silly changes
  16. Azviking101
    Twins current issue is a ton of young hitters who either haven’t hit consistently or haven’t been healthy consistently. Most of that crop would fit best at first base or DH as wel. Since nobody has been consistent they can’t trade anyone so they have to ride it out and hope some of these guys come through. The other problem lies with the all world defender and platinum glove winner at DH exclusively
  17. Azviking101
    Looks like I was right
  18. Azviking101
    Megill DFAd. There goes more of that “outstanding” bullpen depth Falvey went on and on about. Pretty sure 90% of us fans thought Megill was awful and didn’t deserve a 40 man roster spot. Well…we were right. If one of Jax, Thielbar, Duran, Lopez go down with an injury then this pen is on pace to be a disaster.
  19. Azviking101
    I hope this doesn’t mean a trade for a relief pitcher. They spent 13 million abouts on Bundy, Archer, Smith (after incentives and buyouts). Would have been so much easier to just give Chafin 6 or Moore 7.5 But we all know Falvey hates quality free agent pitching
  20. Azviking101
    More depth which is amazing. Just still don’t get why bullpen depth isn’t important
  21. Azviking101
    Why can't they just make one move to fortify the bullpen? Last year, Twins gave Bundy 5 million and I think Archer got close to 7 after incentives and buyout. Neither did anything for the team last year, but two legit setup men got 5.5 and 7.5 (Chafin and Moore) and the Twins scoffed at that. Brad Hand appears to be close to done in this league and would likely be a waste of money. Someone needs to have a quality over quantity conversation with the Twins brass when it comes to pitching FA deals,
  22. Azviking101
    The diamondbacks were very close to selecting Jay number one overall so yeah he was very much hyped up. Both had very similar size and a fastball/slider/change up repertoire all thrown at similar speeds. Jay was trying to move from a reliever to a starter Prielipp hasn’t pitched in 3 years. Similar hurdles I get why people are excited but I’ve seen him ranked as high as 4 on twins prospect lists. That’s ridiculous. If he showcased the same stuff but was a 5’9 righty nobody would know his name.
  23. Azviking101
    Excited to see what he does this year, but all this hype without seeing anything reminds me a whole lot of Tyler Jay
  24. Azviking101
    They’re so close, I don’t understand why they don’t throw a few more million out at a good quality reliever. I recognize that Falvey has faith in the current bullpen, but he’s formed a great backup plan for the rotation and the position players. Relief is the cheapest backup plan there is and he just doesn’t want to budge. there’s a lot of potential in this pen, but too much risk to sit around and do nothing.
  25. Azviking101
    Thank you for mentioning Ryan’s stats against everyone else. I just don’t see any overwhelmingly dangerous pitches and he can’t seem to keep his fastball velocity up. We’ll see 94/95 for an inning or 2 and then it’ll be 89-91 the rest of the game. I frankly don’t see him taking the next step
