    IMO Rocco is not a good manager and needs to go. However Falvey needs to go even more so. If Rocco is fired Falvey will just replace him with a clone . Same philosophy same results. My guess is Rocco and Falvey stay next year and we endure more sloppy baseball with Rocco and more corporate doublespeak from Falvey telling us how great the prospects are and blaming poor attendance on the fans. It's the Twins way.

    Just another in a long line of bad baseball games played by the Twins. I take issue though with your analysis of Lee's play at short on that throw. First he had to make a good play very deep in the hole just to get to the ball. His throw was very strong and accurate. The base runner just did something most Twins players don't do. That is hustle to first base. Correa probably doesn't make that play but you never know. Fortunately he was traded. Also where was Royce Lewis on that play? He could perhaps have cut it off in front of Lee. Of all the dumb trade moves the Twins made trading Correa was by far their best move.

    It's been very strange how Rocco and tgr Twins have managed personnel and games since the fire sale... why waste time and player development by pitching a non pitcher? I understand, well sort of, the "strategy" of not using up the bullpen for an obvious loss. But at this point what is the difference? I hate when the Twins put position players in to pitch. It puts an already farcical game into another level of farce. Par for the course for a farce of an organization.

    Very good well thought out article. Interesting philosophies that are hard to disagree with.

    Yes it's very strange. But Miranda isn't the only one. This organization has a history of not developing their prospects. Many that are ok wind up regressing in their mid to upper twenties. The current batch of can't miss prospects in the minors leagues have a lot to prove. Twins organization needs a thorough house cleaning.

    Yes the 12-3 score is nice but it's very deceiving. 5 errors between the two teams. Lewis had a great game. This team is real bad and currently at least we as fans have no idea the direction this team is taking this off-season. Maybe because ownership and front office doesn't know either. They are decent though of giving us corporate lip service. Twins instead of being contenders are not even pretenders. They are a joke in baseball. It's so sad.

    Nice story on the game. It must be difficult to cover a AA team like the Twins posing as Major League.
  8. Whitey333
    Martin? Seriously? My we sure have fallen as a team and organization.
  9. Whitey333
    It's not going to get any better. We still have Falvey and Baldelli running this sh... show

    Tanking for a top draft pi k? Who cares? They will probably screw that one up too. Why all the hate on Lee? Sure he has a lot of work to do. He's a young inexperienced mlb player. IMO I think he actually shows some potential. Where is all the scrutiny on others? How about Matt Wallner just to name one. Sure he had 21 Homer's butb14 of them are solos. He only has like 36 RBIs. He lied out at a very high rate. He's a butcher for fielding and throwing. But I still want him. He shows potential. There's plenty on this team that have no business on a major league roster including Rocco as manager . .surd

    Oh my. Just when I think it couldn't get worse it does. That's what you get when you trade away your bullpen. The next new promotion for Twins should be No Doz night. Everyone entering the game be given a box of No Doz to stay awake. First time in 64 years that Twins have ever been swept in a 4 game series at home by the White Sox.
  12. Whitey333
    Nice article. The Rwins need to make changes. B I think Falvey and especially usually Baldelli have to go. You need a real spokes person for the team. Not someone like or Joe Pohlad who has a good knack for sticking his foot in his mouth. Bring back some fan friendly players from the past to help market the team and let them get hands on with the fans. Someone in this crazy organization needs to take responsibility for the state of the team. This isn't just another business it's cemented in the state and community. People have a vested interest in the team especially as it's related to some taxes being used to build it in the first place. People want to know that ownership actually cares about their fans and the product they put on the field.

    Interesting lineup on Tuesday. We had Jeffers, Julian, Keaschall, and Lewis as regular starters riding the bench. 4 regulars out at the same time?? What's with that? Anyway it was a typical post trade deadline game. Both Falvey and Rocco need to go at end of season but I doubt it will happen. Smallest September crowd at Target Field ever. 11, 721. Looked like half that in the stands. But it's ok this is the new Twins Way.
  14. Whitey333
    Same old thing every year. Always drooling over the next can't miss prospects. I admit the early returns have been good and he's only 20. But sorry I have to see him do it consistently at the major league level. The Twins have screwed up so many of their so called can't miss prospects that I am very skeptical. They come up here talented and then are stuck with baldelli. So many of them fizzle out in their mid to upper twenties. I hope Jenkins does great. We need him
  15. Whitey333
    Yes winning attracts fans. But it's been obvious this ownership group and front office doesn't care about winning. The " it's the process not the results" philosophy of Falvey and Baldelli that is ruining the franchise. And of course ownership full endorsement of them both. I always liked Aaraez. He got us a good starting pitcher in return in Lopez. He was good here but the Twins won't sign him and probably shouldn't. Play the young players and see what they can do.
  16. Whitey333
    Great game Twins. My goodness a disaster. But this is what happens when you trade 40% of your roster. A lot of ugly baseball. I'd like to think Twins will win with Ryan on Sunday. But he has pitched poorly his last couple of games. He needs a rebound game.
  17. Whitey333
    Nice article Eric. Well thought out. I think they will trade both too. But mainly to save money and if it works out that's fine. All the prospects you mention are just suspects until and IF they prove themselves. Every year it's the same: Way too much hype on totally unproven major league wannabes. This is what it comes down to. Hype and hope. Over hype the value and potential prospe ts and hope the fan base buys into it.
  18. Whitey333
    Adam's and Ohl have already shown they are not major league pitchers. They shouldn't even be in the conversation for next year's team. Entertaining game yesterday but overall not good baseball. Toronto looked very bad but has the talent to win. Not so with the Twins. Rocco? He should have been fired a long time ago. At the very least he and Falvey need to be replaced if the team is going to be taken seriously.
  19. Whitey333
    What possible difference does it make? The Twins are more likely to mess up their development than strengthen it. Way too many prospects that don't make it or Twins somehow get them stalled out.
  20. Whitey333
    Great article Nick. My sentiments exactly. This team overall has been a major disappointment during g the Falvey/Baldelli regime. It's already been nearly 10 years of mostly boring and poor baseball and the continual philosophy of selling hope and hype instead of good baseball. They have had only a couple of decent short and small successes relative to Falveys tenure. After following Twins baseball religiously for over 60 years this has to be about the lowest point in the franchise. They play the fans as idiots constantly trying to tell us how great the team is and selling the prospects as such a great future. Then they repeat the process while not developing their prospects as major league good players. It they are selling they have the number 2 best prospects in baseball. More hope and hype. More losing and no real direction. Falvey and Baldelli need to go as do the Pohlads.
  21. Whitey333
    Many Twins prospects Flames gave either burned out or are on a very low set. I doubt Roden is the answer. He sure didn't look it in his abbreviated time with Twins. So see what he can do next year. He may join the Twins prospect heap pole of guys in their mid to upper twenties that were supposed to be good major league players but have stalled out. We need to get rid of both Falvey and Rocco just for starters.
  22. Whitey333
    I am just so skeptical about the Twins ability to develop top prospects at the major league level. IMO the have ruined or hurt the careers of too many so called can't miss prospects. Jenkins and the other prospects deserve better. The clown show of Falve and Baldelli must be terminated for Jenkins and others to have a chance to achieve their true potential.
  23. Whitey333
    Great comments and opinions all! My opinion is when the prospects are i. The minors leagues and playing everyday in the minors the appear fine. But get to the majors and many of them are relegated to part time status due to Roccos platoon and strict unwavering spreadsheets. Plus Falvey spends a lot of time over hyping these prospects. So many failed or near failed prospects and yet we still have the Falvey/Rocco team running the show. It's a joke. They both need to go.
  24. Whitey333
    Abel was not good but this isn't unexpected. Keep sending him out there and hope he shows progress. Lopez, SWR, and Festa? We'll no guarantees there. SWR and Festa have at times done well and many times struggle. Lopez in all likelihood will be traded before or during next season. Hatch looks good so far. It's just auditioning the players for next season the rest of the way. So why are we auditioning Mickey Gasper? He definitely has shown he's not a major league player.
  25. Whitey333
    Im expecting more moves this off season. Im pretty confident Pablo Lopez and his 21.5 million owed him each of the next two years will be gone. I think Ryan gets traded as well as Jeffers and a few others mainly to dump salary and get cheaper players with more team control. Lewis? I'd he had a great night Friday but those are way too few and far between. But after all it took Buxton 10 years to regularly stay on the field and produce. Lots of questions this off season again. Yet we have the same failed leaders in Falvey and Baldelli in charge of this. Makes no sense.
