  1. Nice catch. Rooker was also honored with: American League Player of the Week: April 29 – May 5, 2024: . April 24 – April 30, 2023: .
  2. Ship him off the the A's...he'll find his stroke there. 30+ homers a year...All-Star game. $60+ million contract. $10 million signing bonus.
  3. Thank you!!! I took heat in a post last week for boycotting these cheap owners since 2019.
  4. 27th is being generous. Boring product, penny-pinching ownership, and status quo mediocrity! On the bright side, there's only 631 more games to go until Correa's contact expires.
  5. Probably not original, but the first time I heard this was in a post-game interview shortly after Gaetti hit a game winning homerun. "I always swing hard in case I hit it"
  6. Seems like this entire organization is headed into " Death Valley " which is what Kirby Puckett called playing for the Twins from 1993 and on. That Valley lasted 8 years. I will take 5.
  7. Classic Baldelli Ball: where your starter needs an engraved invitation to pitch into the 6th, and your DH has the offensive upside of a folding chair. Can't wait to see how we reinvent the art of losing tomorrow.
  8. Good article. Many Bullpen pen stats in MLB are totally jacked. A reliever can enter a game with a 6-1 lead. He gets two outs, surrenders 4 runs and gets credited with a HOLD. A stat system should reward relievers who actually protect leads, not just those who pitch during them.
  9. Not in disagreement...just he didn't like Rocco's methodology.
  10. It was never spoken outright...but I always felt Sonny Gray was never going to resign with Minnesota even if they wanted him. Gray even made a few subtle comments during his time in Minnesota that hinted at his frustration with being yanked early. It wasn’t blatant, but if you read between the lines, it was clear he wasn’t thrilled with the leash he was given.
  11. About the only thing Rocco can do is fill out a line up card...even that talent is questionable. TK said the hardest part of managing is the bullpen, it's a balance between use and over use. And that's were Rocco failures begin and end.
  12. If the Twins want to fix their attendance problem, they’ll have to do more than just offer discount nights—they’ll need to rebuild trust and energy around the team. And with the club being up for sale, that uncertainty could be making fans even more hesitant to reinvest emotionally or financially.
  13. Good one...or how about... " Buck 10 " That’s generally his batting average... .110 Heck...Bucks hitting way above that at .171
  14. Q: What does going to a Twins game and watching a movie for the second time have in common? A: You know how it ends even before it begins.
  15. Here's why the Pohlads will NEVER get another nickel out of me. I sent a kid to a Twins vs Nationals game in 2019... Gave them enough money for a ticket and a meal. Due to a new policy introduced mid- season my kid was forced to check in a small backpack for $10. She wasn't allowed to bring a small backpack into the stadium. Her meal money went into the Pohlads pockets. Pohlads won the battle, but the lost the war. I've gone from attending 10-12 games a year to ZERO.
  16. Been saying it for years...the Twins are the best triple A team in the majors.
  17. He just wiffed for the 3rd time tonight...3 signs he's not ready Then he pulls off The Golden Sombrero.
  18. "Correa and Buxton have stunk so far." Good thing we aren't over paying these guys to produce or anything stupid like that!
  19. I wonder what words TK would have for Lewis? Tom Kelly would bench a .300 hitter for not running out a ground ball. Forget it, Lewis can't even run, and before you run you have to hit.
  20. Said this on another post... It time for a new nickname. I nominate: Royce " Week to Weak" Lewis
  21. Twins once had a reliever named: Grant Balfour...now...Scott Blewett Whose is next? Manny Walker ?
  22. It really is—the modern bullpen carousel is like playing Russian roulette with five loaded chambers. You might survive an inning or two, but eventually someone’s giving up a moonshot. Yesterday it was Jax turn...today or tomorrow...pick your poison. Rocco burned through seven relievers yesterday. That’s not strategy—that’s panic. And with each call to the ‘pen, the odds of someone blowing it increase.
  23. 2024 Twins finish 12-27...if that pace continues. 2025 team will finish 50-112. What's more probable? The collapse continues or they rebound and go 92-70?
  24. 1969 Twins started 0-4, then won their next 7 games...going on to win the division pennant. That team had Killebrew, Oliva, Carew, Tovar. Perry, Boswell, Kaat at the top of the rotation. Also had Billy Martin at the helm. 2025 Twins are closer to the 1988 Baltimore Orioles...who started the season 0-21
