    Maybe they are good and doing what good teams do?

    Really cannot afford to get swept this time of the year when in a tight playoff race…. big game today, lose and you’re lose 3 games versus only losing 1 game with a win. Now 6.5 out of first in the division, tied for 2nd in the WC, with KC and Boston, Houston and Tampa bearing down on a spot. The team doing nothing at the trade deadline while the other contenders made moves to improve will make this race really difficult… no room for sweeps, no margin for error need to play the best ball the last 8 weeks of the season to make the playoffs. My enthusiasm took a gut punch yesterday with lack of urgency in getting some much needed help.

    Trevor Richard’s?? This is the winning move? Yikes
  4. hitterscount
    You are spot on. They will be lucky to hold on to a wildcard spot. Doing nothing to improve the current roster since last winter is inexcusable and insulting to the fan base. The cheap ass owners sign Correa and then wash their hands and are comfortable with slashing the payroll. Not real sold on the BP, but another starter is badly needed to. make the playoffs, Rogers does nothing to address this area,

    After getting outclassed by Milwaukee they better pull one game out. There are a few teams coming at them for a wildcard spot.

    Rocco completely out coached by first year coach Pat Murphy. Should have taken both games and terrible decisions yet again cost the team both. This team is better than their record… the coach is holding them back.
  7. hitterscount
    No to any of them... If you're going after a starter it needs to be one that improves the rotation, he may cost some really good propects, but with the Cubs stinking it up I would look at Justin Steele, a much needed lefty that comes with a small salary. Not sure if he is under team control in 25, but would be a nice addition.
  8. hitterscount
    Don't think you could ask for a better left side of the infield of Correa and Lewis. Correa is a gamer. Now let's get Lee up to anchor 2nd.
  9. hitterscount
    Doesn’t every team play with the Sam rules? We just suck in extras and have since the new rules
  10. hitterscount
    Stop reading… seriously , do they make the playoffs in any other division? No… big part of that was “give away “ games and marginal managing decisions the first 3 -4 months of the season. Keep the Rocco glasses on… he is not a manager.

    I believe you need to remove Baldelli, like yesterday, to get an understanding if the whole thing needs to be blown up. I honestly believe there is talent and Rocco's approach has ruined the season. His rigid approach and I'm smarter than anyone else needs to go. It would be helpful to see if a different manager could get more out of this lineup.
  12. hitterscount
    I just cannot understand how anyone can defend Baldelli. The team has disappointed for three years, he mismanages the lineup, pitching, refuses to play small ball when the team is in their offensive offensive scoring droughts, constantly pushes the wrong buttons. They play like admiring grade schoolers when facing the Yankees and Guardians. It is beyond disappointing. I have to look no farther then to the team immediately to our East. Living in Wisconsin I end up watching plenty of Brewer games. The entire approach, from batting to handling the bullpen, is a night and day difference. Advancing runners, stealing, solid defense, bullpen roles identified... First year coack Pat Murphy is head and shoulders a better manager then our guy... and the players like and respect him while having fun. I could argue the Twins have better talent across the board, yet look like sh** way to often for way to long of stretches. So you cannot convince me the manager doesn't make a huge difference in players approaches and attitudes.
  13. hitterscount
    Yeah , I know... Couldn't agree more.... Just cannot stand fans that place blame on the umps and not where it belongs...
  14. hitterscount
    We are the only team suffering from the moving strike zone.... Please just stop the nonsense! We are playing terrible baseball, it's not the umps!
  15. hitterscount
    Blaming the HP ump could be a new low for the diehard Twins fans.... It happens way to often and is a unflattering excuse. The team cannot hit with RISP, fails at basic execution and is lead by a manager that just hasn't brought me any hope... Horrible decisions and lineups for 3 years. Cleveland is running away with the division,? only hope is they find some offense and nab a WC spot... Looking doubtful at this point
  16. hitterscount
    The first move should be the manager.... That's not happening so any other coaching staff move is pretty much irrelevant. This team is an offensive train wreck.
  17. hitterscount
    Just feel like this is a big win to pick up 2 games on the Royals versus the split, especially after winning the first two. Play your best players, regardless of the LHP matchup... and lets get Lewis up..
  18. hitterscount
    We won’t catch Cleveland playing.500 ball the remainder of the season. We most likely don’t catch KC playing.500 ball the remainder of the season. It’s early but today seems like an important game… make up two games on KC or end where we started on Monday.
  19. hitterscount
    Lose tomorrow and it is basically a lost series. Cannot make up ground playing.500 baseball… the way Cleveland is playing they will need to do win these type of series to be a wild card team. It appears Cleveland is the best team in this division.
  20. hitterscount
    My bad... you're correct, 3 WC teams, they would play Seattle in Seattle. Still a lot of work to do, starting with taking 2 of the remaining 3.
  21. hitterscount
    As of now they are not making the playoffs. The pitching staff has been pretty good, the bats are more concerning. You are correct, if they were able to make the playoffs it will probably be as a wildcard team, another starter may not be needed in that series... Howver they are one starter injury away from being in big trouble.
  22. hitterscount
    I would explain it to the level of competition. Texas is not the same team, at least currently, than they were last season. Still 12 wins in a row, regardless of who they were against is not easy. The seven losses took away my increasing optimism . They just don't compete against the Yankees or Guardians, which is an issue if they make the playoffs.
  23. hitterscount
    That’s it right there. You’re one out from at least qualifying for the win. Give him the opportunity. SWR could be a key factor if they have any chance to make the playoffs. Build the confidence!
  24. hitterscount
    I’ve said it many times, been told to crawl back under my rock… Rocco a nice guy, terrible manager.
  25. hitterscount
    Trade for what? This team is flawed beyond repair.
