    I can probably throw the ball all the way to the catcher from the pitchers mound. For $500,000 I’ll be the new closer.

    Well they tried their best, but they still emerged victorious.

    Taj Bradley. Baseballs new best pitcher.

    Don’t see why Culpepper or any of the other Saints ringers should be any different. The problem seems to be in player development, more so than in the players. Buxton has been the only prospect since Buxton to make it work in the majors.

    Pagán. There. Fixed it. A gimmick would be helpful to make the games more interesting though.
  7. Muppet
    The second year I’m thinking of Pagan had an ERA just south of 3, but it was closer to 6 at the all star break. Yes to ERAs, but they might go up with horrible defense behind the pitchers.

    This bullpen reminds me of a few years back when Emilio Pagan seemed to sour the entire 2023-4 bullpen. Seemed that everytime he pitched he blew a lead or walked 3 batters in a row. This year the bullpen is made up of all Pagans. Even if he has a good outing once in ahwile, his replacement is another Pagan. Let's hope the offence is somehow really really good this year.
  9. Muppet
    Well at least they won’t blow leads they don’t have.

    Oh wow this is depressing. Can we not bring any of them up north this year? Hopefully Brooks Lee plays better than the backup options this year.
  11. Muppet
    Can’t wait for Brooks Lee and Royce Lewis to battle it out for AL MVP. Gotta have something to be overly optimistic about during spring training.

    I’m selling turd polish. Dm me if you need some.

    Tommy Watkins. He'll be universally hated and surprisingly good. And he'll take the fall next year for failing to lead a bunch of terrible players that would be lucky to beat an AA team to the playoffs.
  14. Muppet
    Congrats Rocco. You’re free. I predict he is hired by the Rockies and leads them into the playoffs next year.

    I'd normally stop after Julien, but I'd imagine that if the Twins system could produce decent players among those five than at least one or two of the others (Kiersey, Gasper, McCusker, etc.) would also have a decent chance at becoming a good player in the majors.

    Find out whatever it is that is causing talent to plateau at the AAA level and change that. No amount of next big things can come up if they just flop after a few weeks at MLB. This team would have looked much better if Julien Miranda, Larnach, Martin, Lewis, Kiersey Jr, Gasper, McCusker, (which others?) would have kept progressing instead of falling flat. Something there looks really really not right.

    Watching this game in person and I can say this much… while they have the same problems with risp, at least they are getting into scoring position a lot, so that is an improvement.
  18. Muppet
    If Lewis is up again with someone on 3rd and 2 outs, they should steal home. Worst case is you get out anyway.

    I’m not sad. This team was awful. They sold high on the only two good players they traded, Varland and Duran. Hopefully they got something good in return. No way this team competes for anything next year except for last place with the White Sox. Relief pitchers are notoriously finicky. Duran might end up a hall of famer or might end up throwing his arm out next year. Jax was losing it in the end, Columbe was good but only pitched when a left handed was up, Stewart is on the way down, Varland was promising, but who knows… so was Tyler Rogers, but he stunk when he left too. The pitching on this team was good, but nowhere near enough to compete. They traded away their strength for the future. And I’m glad they did. Their AAA squad also sucks. If there is a next owner, they’ll get to buy all the pieces they want next year unhampered by 3 years of no trade clauses. Then Falvey will get fired anyway. As terrible as this team has been it’s amazing people are so upset they broke it up. The twins kept their only good players. Buxton, Lopez, and Ryan. Go from there. Onward. They might not compete next year, but they have a better chance than they did this year. If this is too much, I’d suggest finding a new team to follow. I’d suggest the Mariners… pretty good team, perennial underdogs, and they’ve never made the WS. Go Ms. I’ll stick with the twins.

    I'm sure Dobby will be just fine. Toledo is probably a great city.

    No worries about this from me. This team was terrible. Without the White Sox being all-time terrible, the Twins were battling for worst in the AL. This core was not going to compete next year either. It is a bummer to lose Varland, but I'm not getting all worked up about it. Duran was the best player to get traded, hopefully they got more than they gave up. Most of the rest were leaving after this year, overrated (Jax), or dragging the team down (Correa). I am in no position to have an opinion on the haul they brought in, so I'm not going to try. Sure I don't know whether I'd trust the front office to do a great job, but just in executing this fire sale they did better than they could have. To me this is a fresh start. If the 2026 team is going to suck, at least it will be with young hopefuls rather than old has-beens. Now if the team is sold, the new owners, presuming they will spend money, have a blank slate to play with... and hopefully a larger pool of quality prospects to develop. They burned it to the ground, and for that I am happy.

    Not sad or embittered about this at all. Great way to get out of what turned out to be a terrible signing.
  23. Muppet
    Zebulon? I always figured it was Zebbadiah.
  24. Muppet
    Minor leagues need warm bodies to pitch in blowout games too.
  25. Muppet
    I'm not necessarily concerned about him. A lot of players fall into sophomore slumps and emerge out the other side. What IS concerning is that this seems to be a trend for the Twins. Prospects tear up the minor leagues or have flashes of brilliance for a while, then become unplayable. On any other team we might expect him to figure it out and start destroying MLB pitching again. But for the Twins it seems we can add him to the pile that includes Wallner, Miranda, Julien, Larnach, and probably Brooks Lee (who is OK, but only really in comparison to those with whom he shares the diamond. Maybe it's the curse of Miguel Sano. Something is broken somewhere. Bringing back an old hitting coach didn't seem to help. Something stinks and I don't know enough about player development, the minor leagues, or insider baseball to identify the smell.
