  1. Exactly. He's not able to hit when it matters the most. The pressure to perform gets to him and he fails. Hopefully he grows and figures it out. Like Roy Smalley said about Wallner. " The balls he hit stay hit a long time"
  2. All Wallner's homeruns have been solo shots. Unbelievable really...to have only 6 other RBIs in the other 191 PAs. If that was a batting average were talking. .031
  3. Wonder how he'll do in the field? I still have a vivid memory of Delmon Young turning a routine one-hop single in left field into a triple. It was a train wreck waiting to happen. Carsten Sabathia looks good. Smooth and fluid swing. He's still undrafted.
  4. Sox are 13-1 in last 14 too... Alcala did give up 3 runs in his last outing. So Sox win despite him. But...he's not melting down like he did here. Btw...Wentz gets picked up by Atlanta and promptly throws 3 scoresless innings. Another coincidence?
  5. Can't tell you how many times I've thought the same thing. Rocco has his methods and rarely mixes things up. He's so predictable. Jax had the next 4 days off to rest too.
  6. Everything seems out of sync...that's a given. Hitting starts from the ground up, so his hamstrings must still be a factor. I hope he finds his mojo again over the break.
  7. you just described a major league team posing as a treadmill...going nowhere fast.
  8. Instant replay...another momentum killer, losing a winnable game.
  9. Nice to see he continues to survive. He was a scab replacement player in the 1995 MLB strike. Caught in the middle of millionaires fighting billionaires while fringe players like Gerorge were making peanuts just tried to survive. You have to wonder how this effected his career as a player and manager.
  10. And...it's not just the Twins...Wild, Vikings, Wolves too. Only teams that know how to win in town are our ladies...Lynx and Frost.
  11. Wasn't ripping anyone, just pointing out how outer worldly Ripken was. I do think the mlb mindset has changed over the years. Players are seeing themselves as commodities. They do anything to protect themselves. I'd do the same. But we're off topic now, so, I'll stop.
  12. No disrespect to Correa, but it makes you wonder how MLB has changed over the years. Cal Ripken...also a shortstop...played in 2,632 consecutive games from 1982–1998. That’s every single game for 16 straight seasons. Guess he was a freak of nature. But yes, I hope C4 is back on the field soon.
  13. Wow...reviewing this thread and see AI has been banned from TD...or at least article by the posting author. AI is a tool. Just like a > computer> internet > search engine > wifi >AI. So...where do you draw the line? We've reached the end of the road? The opposite is more realistic, AI is barely getting started.
  14. Some of the best trades are the ones you don't make. "Twins could walk away with a franchise-altering haul." OR: They blow it and are set back another 3 to 5 years. Based on Falveys track record, I hope they keep Duran.
  15. The Twins are doing their best to redefine the meaning of DFA'd DFA’d – Didn’t Fix Anything Dump
  16. In the Falvey era only two trades come to mind that worked out in our favor, The Cruz/ Ryan deal, and I forget the other. So, I frankly don't trust Falvey. He's more likely to reverse engineer the best trade he ever made. Whatever his process is, I don't trust it.
  17. Just stopped in to see if you'll were ripping on Rocco. It was worth it. Keep ripping!
  18. That title cracked me up — but the write-up on Simmy’s splitter was even better. Hope it sticks.
  19. Not sure how you can call it an "All-Star Game", when it's really a popularity contest with a mandatory attendance rule. Congrats, CWS—your bat boy made it!
  20. The whole fan voting system that started in 1970 is a joke...it’s not an All-Star game—it’s a popularity contest.
  21. Ryan most likely got snubbed...but I'd rather have him rested and ready to roll post AS game. Good for Buxton.
  22. Twins patch it up and sneak out a win. Bullpen game to start, duct tape to finish—Adams kept it from imploding. With 7 games and a day off before the break, this is the window to get the rotation right. Matthews returning..hopefully soon, Festa and SWR stepping up... hey, stranger things have happened.
  23. Twins going for the sweep tomorrow with Ryan on the hill. Still time to get this season back on track. 2 walk offs...boom.
  24. Is that suppose to be Rocco looking for a starting pitcher?
