    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.

    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.

    Looks like a 65 win team... Hard to figure why attendance is plummeting.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.

    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

    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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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..
  16. hitterscount
    That was a Twin move, does anyone understand the fundamentals anymore? Those types of decisions cost runs… if you had MLB hitting.
  17. 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.
  18. hitterscount
    Making Mize really work. Matthews might give them 4, Wallner doing what he does best. It's all I need to see.
  19. hitterscount
    Agree 100%. Questions or problems could be BP, specifically a closer in high pressure situations. The other thing I see, and just my opinion, Wallner is not a great hitter. He either transitions to first or he is mainly a bench guy that could DH against RH pitching. To me, Lewis and Keaschall are critical. If Keaschall can continue anywhere near what he has been doing that fills a huge need at second base, good plate approach and solid enough defensively. Lewis’ defense is above average, he needs to get back to better plate approaches (2023) and stay healthy. if those things can happen, Cullpepper and another outfielder develops by next spring they are not that far off from having a competitive roster.

    I just don’t know where they go. They could have one of the better starting rotations in all of baseball if they keep Lopez and Ryan. The issue is the BP is a complete disaster and will need a legit closer and 3-4 more reliable arms. Trading everyone was shortsighted unless they are going full tear down this offseason and plan on moving both Lopez and Ryan. Than we go to the everyday lineup. What do we really have? I believe you need both corner OF positions filled. 1st base is s big need, don’t want to hear Clemens or Julien are the answer. Is Lee a MLB starting SS? I am in the camp he’s not. Will Lewis stay healthy and can he return to anywhere near his 23 production? So you have a core of Buxton, Keaschall and Jeffers. I just don’t get keeping Outman down at St.Paul, let’s see if a change of scenery helps. Abel and Bradley should be up… another BO game today, just idiotic. Need Cullpepper and a couple other minor league players to be ready next spring or you are definitely moving Ryan and Lopez at next year’s trading deadline…. they will still have a ton of value.

    If it’s possible the CWS just might be more incompetent and poorly run than us. They traded Crochet and still suck.
  22. hitterscount
    Several articles on doing it the Milwaukee way the past few days…. It’s like they do a rebuild every other year. Since 2016, they have had one bad season (throw out the covid year) otherwise they will hit their 5th 90 win season since then and the other years they have been in the mid to upper 80’s in win totals. The difference is with similar payrolls they have the FO with a strategy or philosophy that puts those types of players on the field and a manager (Counsell & now Murphy) that understands how to hold players accountable while being respected and players buying in. Milwaukee has some bigger contracts, Yelich, and to a smaller degree Contreas, Woodruff. They know how to identify the players they want to be on the field and. They draft well and have an uncanny ability to know when to move on from players. Burnes, Williams, Hader… i just don’t get the need to move Looez and Ryan this offseason. 20 million for a quality starting pitcher is a steal in today’s market. If you don’t have quality starters nothing else matters because you’re not winning.

    Is Ober part of the future rotation.... This HR thing is getting to be problematic
  24. hitterscount
    No worries, it's a forum with a lot of disgruntled fans, me being one of the biggest....I may disagree with some opinions, but respect everyone's views.
  25. hitterscount
    Hader was in the middle of a meltdown, I'm surprised they got anything in return... a sack of potatoes seemed high. . He absolutely sucked , even in SD for a while, usually players don't comeback from that. You are correct on Burnes, they made the playoffs that season and Woodruff went down with a shoulder issue right before the playoffs. Burnes lost game one and they were swept at home in a wildcard series. With Woodruff out the entire next season they traded Burnes, thoughyit was a deadline.... My bad.
