    Great game Byron!! Nice win Twins against a very bad team. Let's go for the sweep on Sunday. I hope Rocco never forgets there are fans in the stands. Im a little concerned what the lineup may look like today. When possible rest your players during road games not at home where people pay good money to watch their star players. Go Twins!

    Nice win against a very poor pirates team. The pitching match up was great but a bit of a letdown as they each only lasted 5 innings. Great crowd 40,100. Twins will sweep pirates then after all star break will sweep Rockies to make everyone temporarily happy.

    Common sense says to start tearing it down. But they need a different voice(s) leading them. It seems that all these great prospects are regressing. Twins are getting a reputation of hurting their own player development. Falvey, Baldelli, and probably Saints manager Gardenhire need to go. Trade Ryan? I don't think they will do much of anything significant at the trade deadline. Keep Ryan.

    Same old story. These players " when healthy" are supposedly good. It is the Twins philosophy and selling point for years. Hope and hype that's all.

    Nice series against the Rays. Cubs coming in next. They are hot and very good. Hope we can win at least one game. Co

    Nice win Twins. Let's finish the sweep on Sunday.

    I agree with a previous poster that this team just doesn't seem to care. It's been like this for nearly two seasons. They don't hustle, they play very boring station to station baseball and don't even have players good enough to drive them home. Poor coaching, poor manager, and a front office that is tuned out.

    The Twins appear stuck in the middle and it's of their own doing. Of course the big question is ownership and a possible sale. This team is going nowhere and is extremely boring to watch. With a huge drop in TV revenues and declining attendance I works expect a payroll dump. But who knows?

    Not too often we get to thank the umpires for aiding a victory. That umpire should have never been hit by it. Poor positioning and too damn slow to move. What a joke. But thanks because the Twins need a lot if help. Offense? What offense? Our last three games we have scored 0, 0, and 2. With the rays and cubs coming to town they better find some offense or they could lose all those games.

    Twins look awful again. The Twins have missed the playoffs 3 of the past 4 years. Likely to be 4 of 5 yet Falvey and Baldelli take no accountability or responsibility. I'm not surprised. It's the Twins way.

    Great article. Very truthful. The Tigers as a team and organization far outclass the Twins. We knew it was coming. Twins got embarrassed by a very good pitcher and team.

    Great comments all. I think just give him a rest. Team isn't going anywhere year. Bring him back after all star break. Do not send him down. That could make his confidence even less if he has any left. Those death threats I think really touched off a lot of this.

    The Twins for the most part in the Falvey Baldelli regime have been very boring playing station to station baseball. The are meh. I don't expect much to change except for possible payroll dump.
  14. Whitey333
    Nice article. Pure dominance by Skubal and Tigers. I didn't expect too much going into the game but it was embarrassing. Lewis has proven he's not the answer. I hope he does well but I'm not counting on it. This franchise isn't nearly lifted in the minors as they led us to believe. All hype and hope these Twins.

    Ɓuxton has been great. He should be named player of the month for June. It's sad that it literally took 10 years, yes 10 long years to see him both play regularly and produce. But the team as a whole is what we thought they were met.
  16. Whitey333
    The most logical one for me is Duran. He should bring in a good return. Plus we may not need him should we continue to nosedive. You won't get much for Lewis with his fragile body and his questionable performance. Besides we kept Buxton for 10 years using him part time due to the injuries. He's having a great year now looking like just his second full season in 10 years. I don't think the Twins will make that same mistake with Lewis. I hope not. I just don't see the Twins making any significant moves again this tradeline.

    Nice win Twins. Let's somehow take this ² game Windstream into Detroit and take 2 of 3 then go to Miami and take 2 of 3. Wishful thinking I knoŵ.
  18. Whitey333
    The Twins have consistently had the highest payroll in the Central division for quite sometime and at last check were 19th out of 30 in team payroll. Not great but not rotten. My contention has been more with how the Front Office allocates those payroll dollars which is awful. Yes the Pohlads could have done more. Yes they are totally checked out in the team in fans. This team does need new ownership and it needs to dump both Baldelli and Falvey. At least to get the stench out of the organization.

    Nice win Twins. It's sad when we get all giddy because they got their one win this week. I hope this team can turn it around and go on a prolong win streak. I just don't think they have the makeup to be a serios contender. Injuries? Just a sounding board to make excuses. Losing Lopez hurts no doubt. But he only plays once a week. Lewis is showing not much at all. Keashall looked good but definitely a small sample size. Their pipeline as such sprung major leaks. Their minor leagues isn't nearly as good as the hype. Just look at some of the players we have on the major league team. Many of them are not major leagues. I'm hoping it works out my summer is always Twins.

    Very curious about the timing. In the middle of a horrendous display of baseball. I've followed this team for 50 years and they are at about the lowest point I've seen in quite some time. They continue to play uninspiring boring baseball. Falvey and Rocco are a joke and both should be gone. But I understand that they ARE tied at the hip as someone said. It's becoming increasingly obvious that ownership doesn't care one way or the other on how the team is run. Fans? We don't matter. It pains me to say this but us fans need to stay away from Target field until they show us that they actually care about putting an entertaining product on the field.

    I'm not surprised to see another Buxton promotion article on TD. After all it's been several days. Buxton is having g a very good year. Without him the Twins would be 3-13 in their last 16 games. Oh that's right they are 3-13 with him playing and he's playing great. This will mark just the second year in his ten years with the Twins that he has played a full season and he's playing great. But he and the Twins earn their negative perceptions. Buxton I am sure will be named the Twins representative for the all star game and he deserves it. Who cares if fans vote him in or not? Does it really matter?
  22. Whitey333
    I totally agree. This team needs an overhaul and that includes the manager. Do I think much will happen? No. Twins are stuck in a rut of their own making. They will probably just wait for the injured players to come back and miraculously save the season. Royce Lewis save the season? He has mostly proven he can't hit his way out of a wet paper bag. Lopez is definitely missed. But let's be realistic. He only plays once every 5 days or so. Who's picking up the slack the other 4 days? Matthew's? He's on the injured list but his contributions have been mi small when out there. I could go on and on with injuries. My point is I think the injury issue is way overblown as losing excuse number one. It's time.for change and soon. Standing pat again at the trade deadline and the upcoming off season would be disastrous.
  23. Whitey333
    Oh hum! Just another in a series of boring baseball "produced" by our Twins. Good article. It describes what has bothered me most about the Rocco/ Falvey regime. Station to station ball waiting for a honer or a clutch hit from our "stars". Very poor fundamentals. No team speed and just average power. But they can blame it on the injuries. Their farm system isn't nearly as strong as they tell us. Oh well. Another loss perhaps on Sunday. Please at least look like you care and give an effort.

    Yucky baseball Friday night. It's the norm under Baldelli. Boring baseball
  25. Whitey333
    Its hard to judge mccuster on such a limited opportunity. One issue is that Rocco will not use a lot of players thr FO sends him. Several times in his tenure Baldelli hasn't used players at all even with games out of hand or the season out of hand. He's even not let guys get their major league debut in when the team is way out of contention and family has flown in to watch his debut and never, ever even get in a game during his stay.
