    Wish they would quit saying the Bally Contract is holding everything up. Every team that has renewed their contracts or found new providers have seen at least a 20% increase. So Twins know that whoever gets the the rights it will be more than the last contract. So quit with the Bally excuse!

    STOP with the excuse of the uncertain Bally contract. The Twins know that whoever gets the contract it will be more than the last contract. That is true with all the teams that have already renewed their deals. So that is a Non-Issue. Don't let the Pohlads hoodwink you again!

    Saying Morneau and Perkins provide "Stellar Content" is absurd!! Morneau feels he has to fill every second of every broadcast. Talks way too much. And when he is with Perkins all they do is talk Spin Rate and arm slot of every single pitch. Guys. We are watching on TV. We can see what kind of pitch it was. I turn on the other teams announcers. What a breath of fresh air. Almost none of them talk spin rate and arm slots!! Put Smalley on more. He talks Baseball!!

    Still think Lewis can be biggest asset in the outfield. Speed, good arm. Wallner showed poorly in the playoffs. May be another Larnach. Struggling to hit breaking ball. Lewis, Buxton/Martin, Kepler with Wallner filling in would be strong outfield. Find FA 3rd basement.

    Move him at any cost! His weak swings were just awful. Twins had to many holes in the line-up to be able to carry him. Garver looked good for Texas. At least makes contact!
  6. MGM4706
    No No No. We don't need another Buxton. Wait and see if Royce can play a full season!!

    With all due respect this is one of the dumbest articles in a long time. Correa is better than anything the Twins have ever had. With only a few exceptions his only errors were on balls that most shortstops don't get too! They would be through for hits. He knocks them down and gets penalized for errors.
  8. MGM4706
    By keeping the Batting Coach the Twins showed they are not really serious about taking the next step. Rocco gets to keep his Country Club together and the strike-out will just be shrugged off again.

    Could not disagree more! In this situation even if you are going with a bullpen game leave the guy that is in as long as he is doing well. First sign of trouble take him out. So Ryan was fine. Leave him in one or two more. Then Brock was fine. He should have stayed in one or two more. As AJ said on the broadcast if you go with 8 pitchers sooner or later you hit a Dud. Theilbar was the Dud!! He gives up big hits in the clutch. They are usually someone else's runners so his ERA looks good. He is not reliable in clutch situations!

    Odd. You forgot the biggest mistake of the series. Julien getting picked off 2nd with no outs. Lewis hits HR on next pitch an Julien's run would have eventually tied the score at 3-3! Frustrating part is it is a habit with Julien that has not been corrected. His head is not in the game when running. He got picked off first multiple times. Over slid 2nd twice. And ran on a fly out with one out getting doubled off. You can't give away runs like that in an elimination game and expect to win. He should be sent to Winter Ball to work on his fielding and his running. See if he can learn to take it more seriously!!

    Another Rocco bonehead move! Farmer should have been the Pinch hitter last night. He had homered the game before and was making good contact. Not some injured player that hadn't played for two months. Rocco was just afraid to tell Buxton No! That's part of the job Rocco!!
  12. MGM4706
    Buxton no. Paddock out when spot is needed
  13. MGM4706
    Pretty good article. But you are right. The Walks are the concern. People still think of an elite closer to be like Rivera was from the Yankees. Nobody worried about him walking people when he came in. It was Game Over! Duran is not there yet. But certainly headed that way
  14. MGM4706
    Jax? How can you even mention him and not Varland? Have you been watching games?
  15. MGM4706
    Some solid moves but ignoring the Pen could cost them big-time in the playoffs. Like Vikes ignoring the O-Line. If they plan on using Jax under pressure it could be over early. Varland may bail them out.
  16. MGM4706
    Poor timing on this article after last night. I think steal a game with Ober. Keep short (5) innings then 3 for Varland.
  17. MGM4706
    First off, start with his issue hitting off-speed. As soon as the league figured that out he was doomed. Might be the same now with Wallner .Also, Larnach is very average in the outfield. Doesn't play the wall very well. Next as a throw-in on a trade it shouldn't be for a Starter! It has to be for a Pen guy. Garland may be the answer but he wants to be a starter and may replace Gray. So the Pen is the #1 trade issue. Can't go another year with the AAA guys we have out there now. It is hard to watch when they come in.
  18. MGM4706
    Reminds me of Miranda. Young, exciting player for stretches. Thought we had our 3rd baseman for years to come. Then the league figured him out. Could be same situation.
  19. MGM4706
    Has to stay in AAA another year to increase his value to either come up to the Twins or to be a throw-in for Bullpen help at the deadline.
  20. MGM4706
    Ah, please stop saying his fielding has improved. Are you watching games? Last night Correa had to save him again on a double play because he got his feet tangled up and got the ball out of his glove late. Correa saved it with a rifle throw. He is not improving. Plus now he has had three 3 strike-out games out of the last 4. Teams may be on to him. Maybe another year in St. Paul next year would help.
  21. MGM4706
    There may be a reason Donaldson was not the most popular in Twins Clubhouse. He wanted to win and HATED to lose! Lots of Twins want to win.The difference? Many including Rocco don't seem to mind losing! Rocco is known as a "Players" Manager. Donaldson's last year here the Twins was a mess. Like the first half this year except with poor pitching. Rocco just went along staring at his cyber metric cards in the dugout. Donaldson hated that. This year Rocco waited half a year to have a team meeting. Why?
  22. MGM4706
    Castro comments are the most surprising. Just because a guy plays a position doesn't mean he is good at it. Castro has no clue on how to play an outfield wall. He is a " Fill-in" at every position but not great at any of them. Range is average everywhere and arm is average. And the comments on double plays. That is fully on Julien and on Gardenhire in St. Paul. The kid has just not been prepared to play MLB 2nd base. Definitely a DH for the Playoffs.
  23. MGM4706
    Polanco still has life left. Made 3 plays wed night that Julien would have just waved at. Him and Correa are the best DP combo. Julien is horrible on DP feeds and range is so limited. Lee may replace Polanco but not Julien. Julien was just 0-13 so pitchers may be figuring him out like they did with Miranda who we all thought would be at 3rd for next 10 years. And Julien getting picked off first twice in key situations shows his baseball instincts still need work.
  24. MGM4706
    Big concern is his control. Seems to always put a runner on now in one run games that means bringing winning run to the plate.
  25. MGM4706
    Wow! Some poor assumptions made in this take. You DO still need range at first. You need to field ground balls. And poor throws from Infielders. Julien can't do any of those things. But it may not matter. It appears the Pitching Reports may be catching up to him. 0-12? Same happened to Miranda. Bring up Brooks Lee Sept 1 and get him ready for for 2024 with Lewis. Lewis, Correa, Lee and Kiriloff. Julien can't even be a utility guy because he can't play one position and especially not 2 or 3. Might be a throw in on trade for bullpen help with Polanco.
