    Nice game by Matthew's. You never know ow which Matthew's you are getting. Very inconsistent. Twins played nice. The normal one or two wins a week.

    Twins look to be a total train wreck next year at this point. I am sure more trades are coming and the Twibs bs about all the great can't miss prospects they have. That's their marketing theme: hope and hype. That's all. Yes Martin deserved a starting spot next year. Many of the people you listed as outfield competition for outfield positions next year have shown little or no ability to play Major League Baseball.

    That's all there is hype and hope. These can't miss prospects ts almost always miss in Twins land. I e been duped too often by this Falvey/Baldelli regime. They both need to go. In any case unless something majorly good for the Twins in the off seasonlook for even .ore empty seats at Target field in 2026. If they let Baldelli go but keep Falvey you are going to get a clone of Baldelli. Get rid of them both!!

    It's always hope and hype for the Falvey/Baldelli lef organization. Now you throw the new can't miss prospects list at us. Very few of the can't miss prospects make and many who make it to the Twins team seem to take steps backward. The front office is best at spewing lies and false hope. Those projected big drops in attendance is deserved

    How sick is am of hearing it's the process not the results we care about. Too bad that Twins philosophy has reached such dire depths. What a disaster this team and organization is.
  6. Whitey333
    What a tragedy this team and organization have become. There really isn't much hope is there! You keep mentioning the deep farm system. That has been the Twins mantra for years. Especially during the Falvey regime. Sell hope and hype because there is very little else. Same old thing with the current can't miss prospects only the names have changed.

    Who cares about out the draft watch? Twins will screw that up too.

    Good article. If analytics are so great and helpful, why then do the Twins suck? There is very little talent on this team and has been like that for a couple of years. It's Falvey.
  9. Whitey333
    What a joke of a story. Baldelli amongst Twins best all time managers? Ridiculous. Now co.pare him with some of the worst. Must be a click bait story. Or one of those satire stories. It can't be real!!
  10. Whitey333
    Way over done. IMO this new analytics on every conceivable pitch, hit, etc is way over done. If for example, if the great analytics department and our field manager Mr. Baldelli were so good with the analytics shouldn't we have been in first place? Oh that's true maybe the players just aren't that good. Where's the analytics for that? For the people the drafted them, trained them, and managed them what analytics measurements are used for them? This new era of baseball is bringing the sport down.

    No way the Twins keep Lopez and his 22 million salary. Very unlikely they keep Ryan. He hasn't done much at all since the all star break. No way they will add anything significant. Very likely payroll will be slightly under 100 million total. These types of articles are almost as much of a joke as the ones telling us again about all the great can't miss prospects that usually miss.

    Interesting game. Nice comeback but almost a win is not a win. I knew we would be in trouble right away when you look at the lineup Baldelli threw out there. Both Lee and Keaschall not in lineup when they clearly could have helped. Not even used as pinch hitters or defensive replacements. Then to leave Matthew's in so long while he was getting hammered is disgraceful. It signaled to a nice crowd and the players that he had little intention on winning. The fact they came back proves all the runs Matthew's gave up mattered. What does it do for his confidence to let him hang out there to dry? Save the bullpen? What for there's only a week and a half left. Just another example of Baldelli having a huge part in the loss. Twins also just fired their entire remaining scouting department to save money. Baldelli may or may not survive the continued purge. Problem is they are keeping Falvey so even if Baldelli goes we will just get a clone of him.
  13. Whitey333
    Just another in a long line of what ifs. What if the players play up to and beyond their potential. What if the prospects come up and do great? Hope and over-hype. That's the Twiins philosophy. Don't sell good baseball. Just keep selling hope and hype. Why would you dump Lee after basically one season? For Kulpepper? Come on. There's several players that should be dumped before Lee including Royce Lewis. They are miles from contending anytime soon.
  14. Whitey333
    Yes indeed. Great game Twins. Probably the most thorough game they played all year. Yankees looked tired and totally disengaged from the first game. A series win or even a sweep would be great.
  15. Whitey333
    Not sure why Brooks Lee gets all the hate. Sure he has a long way to go. Sure he needs to improve on defense. Many players fall into that same category. Wallner either hits a solo home run or strikes out. Not too complicated there. This team is so bad that like always they over hype the prospects in the h e minors. We got several of them on the 26 man roster (oops 28) struggling. This organization needs a major overhaul.
  16. Whitey333
    Yes it's so unfortunate but hes not the only Twin with star caliber stats to play on poor teams or to be injured. Buxton has had a great season no doubt. But it's about time. It's taken him 10 years to get here. He should waive his no trade clause this off season so he can perhaps get traded to an organization that cares about winning.
  17. Whitey333
    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.
  18. Whitey333
    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.
  19. Whitey333
    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.
  20. Whitey333
    Very good well thought out article. Interesting philosophies that are hard to disagree with.
  21. Whitey333
    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.
  22. Whitey333
    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.
  23. Whitey333
    Nice story on the game. It must be difficult to cover a AA team like the Twins posing as Major League.
  24. Whitey333
    Martin? Seriously? My we sure have fallen as a team and organization.
  25. Whitey333
    It's not going to get any better. We still have Falvey and Baldelli running this sh... show
