    No doubt… and their scouting department while we are at it.

    I just can’t take listening to how great these offenses we are facing are, whether it’s the A’s, White Sox, Jays… they are all great…. Should be able to easily get a lineup put together, seems everyone else has.

    Looking good! This is a team that has quit. The ace tuned out a month and a half ago.
  4. hitterscount
    Making Scherzer work pretty hard there. If they get up the game will be over.

    80's 90's.... players are players. This is about manipulation and money.... which is wise if you have a real MLB roster and there isn't room for high performing minor league players. This isn't the case for this team. We have 3-4 MLB players (if that) in our lineup. When you have a real FO that can field a real team, that can stockpile talent, than options are there to manipulate team control, eg... holding a player back as a replacement for a player that the team plans on moving on from or using the minor leaguer as trade capital. None of this is the case for this FO... If Jenkins, Culpepper can play they should be up here next year. But this FO and manager are clueless without a plan.

    I get what you’re saying, and by no means do I think he’s dogging, but it does make me question if winning is important to him. There aren’t many competitors with his talent that would want to play on this team given the choice to leave.

    Another gritty performance from Rocco's guys. You cannot question the effort. Martin, Julien, Clemens battling every AB. Loved Clemens bat flip yesterday on a team down 6 and 10 games under .500. Think you need to get the players that you are counting on next season out of here if they have options left, for sure Keaschall. St. Paul should provide the needed cover. This is a joke and watching you can almost feel how toxic the clubhouse is. I cannot for the world understand why Buxton wouldn't want out. You're at the backend of of your career, this is worth sticking around? Makes me question if he is part of the solution... not that he's going anywhere... but if you are committed to playing on a winning team and in the postseason you would drop the no trade clause without a second thought. His body language after his many strikeouts is not great. Cancelled MLB TV for the second time this year, and can guarantee it will not be picked up until next season. My expertise will have to rely on gamecast and box scores.... just to save 30$ a month, that's how unenjoyable this team is.

    Plenty of examples of 22-22 year olds playing in the big leagues. I know, you think Falvey and Rocco are the duo to get things turned around…. However, from my perspective they both are the biggest problem.
  9. hitterscount
    If you value team control over player performance you are not a serious organization. This team needs to fill several positions; both corner outfielders, 1st base, is Lewis viable at 3rd. Lee has shown enough at SS that I am alright with him if Culpepper is not ready. If Jenkins and any other high prospect is the best option, bring them up. Waiting until they're 26-27 hasn't really worked for Falvey.

    I have no clue what he is making, obviously the 10 million is ridiculous. Saw 2.4 million on a different site, but am beginning to think that was the total between 23-25 because in another google search I see 750,000 salary in 2024. So it looks like he isn’t overpaid….. but I still don’t like what I see on the field or what some of the current and former players are saying about the culture.
  11. hitterscount
    Looks like a 65 win team... Hard to figure why attendance is plummeting.
  12. hitterscount
    Analytic guy didn't believe Rocco was making 10 mil/year. Digger deepiing it appears it is more like 2.4 million. AI let me down and cannot be trusted. With that I withdraw my offer. I need a roster with MLB talent to right this ship.
  13. hitterscount
    I googled what he's making, it said he signed a 3/30 million $ contract in 2022. It didn't mention a option , but if there was I'm guessing it wouldn't be a paycut.
  14. hitterscount
    I'll save the Pohlands 8 million. Dump Rocco and I will manage the team for 2 mil....1 million if you keep Lopez, Ryan and bring up Abel next year. That's the offer, waiting by the phone.
  15. hitterscount
    Exactly my point, it's mid-August, and he finally gets we need to be better and more aggressive on the base paths..... kind of think these are supposedly MLB caliber players, how about being smart on the bases and operate within your limits. This isn't rocket science.
  16. hitterscount
    From what I'm watching, he could work on that up here and still be more effective than TBD. Also listening to the game, Rocco thinks we need to start being better at baserunning, which includes going home with no outs on contact only to be thrown out. Sorry , that guy has no business being in a MLB dugout making the decisions.
  17. hitterscount
    A absolutely gorgeous day for a ball game. Then you notice it's another BP game. Sorry, not what I will spend my money on. Than there's the nonexistent offense that only needs to see 6 pitches for their 3 outs. This is not a serious organization. Mr. Pessimistic
  18. hitterscount
    I just can’t do it anymore tonight, it’s an absolutely disgusting display of ineptness at the plate and the managers approach is just as awful.
  19. hitterscount
    Only the Twins… we finally get a hit with RISP, but can’t get the runner home and to add insult as we probably won’t score with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. Another chance for Wallner to fail and he doesn’t disappoint, Rocco has to go.
  20. hitterscount
    Power sinker. Turbo sinker, other than a 2-5 record and an ERA around 5, he just might be in the Cy Young running …no it’s just an inept offense yet again
  21. hitterscount
    Not that it matters with the deep fly…. But I just don’t understand why you bring in the infield in the second inning.
  22. hitterscount
    No, other than he didn’t get what the plan was at the trade deadline and him and the remaining veterans will try to rebuild the clubhouse culture (paraphrasing). Believe a couple of guys were sent packing for speaking out and saying less. As I have stated, I hope he and Ryan are here next year..
  23. hitterscount
    That was a Twin move, does anyone understand the fundamentals anymore? Those types of decisions cost runs… if you had MLB hitting.
  24. hitterscount
    2 + 2=4, we have had no culture here for over 2 years, I guess they have a plan for what they’re doing… Pablo Lopez take away after his meeting with Falvey. I think it’s safe to assume he will be pitching somewhere else next season. Also this BP crap is getting old in a hurry.
  25. hitterscount
    Making Mize really work. Matthews might give them 4, Wallner doing what he does best. It's all I need to see.
