    Acquire a right-handed hitting outfielder solves this issue.
  2. William K Johnson
    Again, tell Larnac and/or Wallner to bring a first baseman's mitt to spring training.
  3. William K Johnson
    Anything is an improvement over the Pohlads.
  4. William K Johnson
    Why not, since we have this great surplus of pitching.
  5. William K Johnson
    NO

    Attended a series in Cleveland in 2020 where he hit everything on the screws. Contact sounded like a gun going off. I recall thinking how much fun it was going to be to watch him over the years. Beginning to think that this team is just jinxed.

    Any idea of moving Lewis to left field?
  8. William K Johnson
    Lewis will be in left, which frees up one of them for first.
  9. William K Johnson
    Either Wallner or Larnach needs to bring a first baseman's mitt to spring training.
  10. William K Johnson
    Apparently, his algorithm dictated the move.
  11. William K Johnson
    Rocco needs to understand that the game is played by humans, not computers.

    I guess we no longer need to discuss bringing Santana back. Congratulations on a gold glove, thanks for the effort, but don't let the door hit you in the a** on the way out.

    Why not look at Jake Berger with the Marlins. Inexpensive, decent glove, right-handed power. Throw Julien, Martin and Alcala at them to see it they will bite.

    This is on the front office for not acquiring a left-handed reliever. Jax has never pitched well in a second inning but what choice do you have at that point?
  15. William K Johnson
    I did not see the game, but the news that Farmer was at second was greeted with a sigh of relief. Farmer has been hitting better lately and when he is at second, I do not close my eyes when a ball is hit that way.
  16. William K Johnson
    Yes, next spring put him in left field and leave him there.

    Now the entire country knows that this team is a fraud. Incompetent manager, leaky bullpen and little league defense. I don't know what is worse, Brooks Lee's fielding or hitting? And who is that guy impersonating Royce Lewis? It's September, we are in a playoff hunt using the Saints outfield. Why didn't Farmer go to second and Julien to first? At least Julien has played first. The Kevin Cash pitching philosophy works in Tampa because they have a strong bullpen. We don't. I know I will get blasted for this statement, but perhaps it would be best if Boston or Seattle grabs the third playoff spot to avoid us being embarrassed against the Yankees or Baltimore.

    So great to have Louie back. Same guy he was in the spring. What a joke!!

    True story. I had an appointment with my cardiologist this morning who stated that as a seventy-year-old with a heart condition I should avoid situations that are stressful and raise my blood pressure. My wife then told him about my reaction to last night's game. He said if the games caused me to get that emotional, I should consider just reading the box scores the next day. I then asked him if I could just watch the games until we went to the bullpen. He laughed and said to do whatever to avoid the stress. So, from here on in, I will watch the game until the bullpen starts stirring and read later how the disaster unfolded after I quit watching.

    If we have to continue to run Martin and Margot out there on a daily basis, we might as well pack it up.
  21. William K Johnson
    Has anyone considered Myles Straw in centerfield for us? As I sit here watching the Cleveland-KC game, they were discussing him and what with Cleveland apparently done with him, he could help us. I know he is limited offensively, but he can catch and throw, something Margot and/or Martin cannot. And it is become highly apparent that Buxton cannot play an entire season. Just a thought, but this situation is getting highly frustrating.
  22. William K Johnson
    I still think his ultimate position is left field. He has the arm strength and athleticism to handle the position. Lee can play third, Castro at second, and Miranda at first or DH. Of course, all this is assuming that we get our shortstop back soon. While on the subject on outfield, it sure looks like both Wallner and Larnac are set to man the corners for several years. Now if we can only keep Buxton healthy. Castro and Martin can be backup centerfielders with Lewis moving to second when Castro is in center and Larnac in left.
  23. William K Johnson
    Just let them have this game. Save our pitching and we will see them again tomorrow night.
  24. William K Johnson
    It looks like Lee will be back today, most likely meaning that Julien is sent down, Castro back to second until CC gets back. The concern for both CC and Buxton is growing by the day. Kiriloff may be done as a Twin. We are way past the time that Farmer and Margot should have been DFA'd. I like the idea of Varland in the pen but not the rotation. Finally, maybe the best things to come out of this season will be the growth of both Larnac and Wallner and Festa and Matthews getting a feel of the major leagues. There is no longer any doubt that Kepler will be gone as both Larnac and Wallner appear ready to take his place. This winter the Twins need to not only acquire a top left-handed reliever but also a right-hand hitting outfielder.

    Polanco makes that play in his sleep. He probably makes the earlier play where Julien looked like a little leaguer. Rocco said afterwards that "Julien makes that play 99 times out of 100". If that is so, why do you replace him defensively in most games in late innings?
