  1. Very good article. Bottom line is the Twins bullpen is, as predicted, a mess and looks to stay that way.
  2. When are we going to give more serious discussion about Royce Lewis? I'm sorry but he has turned into a flop. If he doesn't get and stay hot he needs to go. Wallner? They have been very patient with him. He's a strikeout machine, hits for a sub 200 average and produces very little. Both he and Lewis look totally lost at the plate and not good in the field either.
  3. It may go down as one of the worst trades Twins have ever made.
  4. There are a lot of times I miss the days of starting pitchers having complete games. Pitchers were expected to pitch the whole game. If they didn't go at least 7 innings it was considered a failed performance. Blyleven had 60 career shutouts.
  5. Lewis continues to struggle offensively and defensively. Wallner is getting unwatchable. He can't hit.
  6. I know there is a lot of negativity around Larnach and I understand that to a degree. But this lefty on lefty platooning involving him is interesting. They platoon him but what about Wallner? Why is he allowed to play regularly? He is an equal opportunity strikeout. He looks bad against both lefties and eighties. Yest he keeps batting against lefties. He surely can't be better than zlarnach against lefties. Can he?
  7. It may work out and it may not. Just another typical Twins low budget deal.
  8. Let's hope it is a short time on the dl and that the injury doesn't linger. I always worry when a pitcher is diagnosed with inflammation in his Pitching elbow.
  9. I still remember two years ago they won 12 straight and missed the playoffs. Last year they won 13 in a row and finished 20 games or so below .500. Just enjoy it while we can.
  10. The Twins had to dump Correa. Too expensive and surely didn't play to a superstar level. I blame Falvey for mis using the $35 million per year that they were allowed to pay Correa by the Ownership. Poor job of payroll management. Could have gotten 3 or 4 decent players for that amount.
  11. Yes the umps seem to umpires differently. It's amazing how the strike zone expands after a team or both teams are out of challenges.
  12. So how much is Heffers worth? With Scott Boras as his agent probably way too much for the Twins. I'd love to have him signed for a reasonable amount but I just don't see the spend thrift Twins committing to that. If that is the case they will need to trade him before losing him for nothing.
  13. Oh my. Another over done story about Byron Buxton. Can we get on to someone else? Its just another article explaining away long slumps by using all kinds of "analytics" to explain slumps. Byron, like everyone else goes through slumps. It looks like hes coming out of it. He will be fine. He always is.
