  1. Any trades made in the next 10 days (I'm becoming more convinced that we won't make any move) need to be 100% controllable pieces. No rentals. No pushing the chips in for this season. It is abundantly clear that this team is going nowhere. Build for the future.
  2. Wow, a sac fly with a runner on 3rd? I didn't know that was legal!
  3. Honestly, minus the speed, he's what I hope Buxton can someday turn into.
  4. That was our chance to SLAM the door shut. Just can't make it up
  5. This one hurts, bad. Finally have a chance to add a game to our lead in the division with the Cleveland loss. Cough up the lead, take it back only to see our stud reliever hand it back again, and then blow a MASSIVE opportunity in the 9th. Just awful.
  6. INDIANS LOSE!!! This is not a drill.
  7. No. He's a solid to good #2, but he's not an ace
  8. Lol, Chapman looked like he got shot 90 seconds ago and then just beats out a double play ball. Jeez
  9. To further illustrate the slide, Gleeman just tweeted these numbers: Twins' overall OPS: April/May — .849 (#1 in MLB) June/July — .802 (#7 in MLB) Twins' OPS with runners in scoring position: April/May — .888 (#2 in MLB) June/July — .733 (#24 in MLB) Twins' OPS in high-leverage spots: April/May — .897 (#3 in MLB) June/July — .620 (#28 in MLB)
  10. I really think that's how things will play out. Which is fine! I just think folks need to recalibrate their expectations considering the last 6+ weeks of mediocre play. Just my thoughts
  11. Is anybody concerned that the front office will no longer make a big move at the deadline? Falvine talked all offseason about waiting to make a move and spend money until they had a better understanding of what they had, personnel wise, etc. Wanting the young guys to all be on the same timeline. I think it's become pretty clear that the team that came flying out of the gates the first two months of the season is simply not what this team is. It was a fun story, but the bats especially have really come back to the pack. The team we've seen the last 6+ weeks is more than likely the truer representation of this group than the team that was setting records, etc. The FO has to know this. Is anyone else getting worried that instead of making a splash, they make some marginal move and more or less stand pat and keep prospects to continue "building" the team? Viewing the first 2 months as more of a "pop" up scenario than a real chance to push all our chips in on a championship caliber team? I'm literally just spitballing and I have no way of knowing one way or another.
  12. Twins have had recent conversations with Tigers regarding Boyd and Shane Greene per Jon Morosi. He goes on to say the Twins are looking to add a starter and a reliever. https://www.mlb.com/news/trevor-bauer-potential-trade-deadline-target
  13. It's about time someone stepped up. LET'S GO
  14. Maybe even sooner haha. I remember about 2.5, 3 weeks ago, some of us were getting nervous. We still had a big lead but those of us that watch every game could see something was different or missing with this team. The good thing though is that it is a long season. Teams, even really, really, good ones go through multi-week stretches of bad play. Hope we can pull out of it.
  15. Alright, leadoff guy on. Let's string some hits together, boys!
  16. It sucks that it feels like this...but a two run lead seems insurmountable right now. I don't want to believe it, but the offense just seems to be in such a funk. It's weird. Hoping we can get the bats going here.
  17. Wow, you're right! I hadn't thought of that, thank you!!!!
  18. How many games have we taken the lead to only give it back in the next half inning? Seems like it happens a couple times every game
