    Just a couple of notes: Twins won 6-3 The White Sox are an awful team The home plate umpire was awful. We shouldn't be surprised. It was Laz Diaz who's been awful for years. We hope the game doesn't get rained out Thursday. We are playing the White Soz. It'd guaranteed win day. We need to.get MLB to let Twins play the White Sox at least 10 games each month. The Twins are a bad baseball team. Thank you White Sox for helping us cover up the Twins weaknesses.

    Bottom line is Twi n s won 4-2. An ugly win perhaps but they won due to a great catch by Buxton and larnachs homerun and base running. The Twins slept through the first 8 innings and were aided by 2 big errors by the White Sox. Plus Larnach was hit by a thrown ball while clearly running inside the box. He could have easily been called out and the run wouldn't have scored. When blaming umpires throughout the season let's not forget that play that two umpires missed. Plus in the first inning the Sox missed a home run by inches as ball hit very top of fence. Twins only had 3 hits through seven and were outfit by 10- 5 for the game. Thanks to very poor defense by Sox and their inability to score it helped us until we woke up. But they won. Nice.

    Very nice article. Well done. I agree. I've been a long time and loyal Twins fan for over 60 years. I've seen plenty of games at the old Met in Bloomington and a ton at the Dome. I've seen plenty at beautiful Target Field as well. I remember very fondly as a kid going to games. I always cherished those memories. The past few years have been difficult for me asba Twins fan. Yes 2023 was fun. But we haven't made the playoffs 3 of the past 4 years even though Falvey and the Twins tell us they are in a winning window. They play boring and undisciplined baseball. They are void of the basic fundamentals. They are 19-42 in their last 61 games dating back to last years collapse. No one in the organization seems to take responsibility for this terrible brand of baseball and the continued losing. The Twins, from ownership on down don't seem to care.

    This isn't just the 7-15 2025 Twins. This goes back to last August. They are playing the same boring and listless ball. They are now like 19-42 going back to last year. They play like zombies. I expect Twins to maybe even sweep the Sox. However it won't change much. Twins sweep and then Rocco and the TV and radio Twins broadcasters will tell us how great they are. Then we will play a real major league of opponent instead of the White Sox. The schedule gets tougher in May. This is a bad baseball team managed and run by people who don't seem to care.

    Yes it's time for a change. I'm not a Baldelli fan at all but I surely don't place all the blame on him. Baldelli appears to have very little leadership qualities. He appears to stubbornly stick to his analytical pie chart not overly concerned about winning. And it shows. But if Baldelli goes so should Falvey. That's not likely since he just got a promotion by ownership. This team is a mess. None of the powers to be seem to care.

    Provus and Morneau were complaining, blaming the loss on those 2 missed calls by the home plate umpire. They swelled on it throughout the game. Yes the umpire wasn't that good for both teams. But why blame the loss on the umpiring? Very unprofessional.

    The Twins are 19-42 going back to last years collapse. They are playing like their record shows;

    Yes very demoralizing game last night. Richardson scratched rom starting tonight. Topa to start. What??? Nice article but I think the Twins skywhike not falling is getting close to that. Buxton physically looks good and plays solid defense. But like usual he's not hitting. Unless of course you consider a batting average just slightly above .200 good. Correa has been bad since the beginning of spring training but looks like he may be getting better. Way too many ifs. Way too many underperformed veterans. Way too many unproven young " prospects." Prove me wrong Twins. Just win baby.
  9. Whitey333
    The payroll total dollars isn't the problem. It's how they are dispersed. Buxton, Correa, and Lopez make $73 million between the three of them. That's half the total payroll.
  10. Whitey333
    Very frustrating. Some very nice performances from Keashall and Paddock but bottom line is another loss. We had a chance to build on that Mets series and blew it.
  11. Whitey333
    They need to play him a lot. I agree with other posters that the Twins do a poor job of handling prospects. To bring him up and have him ride the bench would do a great disservice to him and the team. Too many times our prospects come up and ride the bench and stuck in this strict platoon system. They play in the minors full time come up here and play half time. Not a great way to develop players. Bring him up. We want to see him play. Play him.

    They are pretty unwatchable but being a life long Twins fan I still watch. They are a boring baseball team. They don't hit many Homer's. They don't steal that many bases or run the bases well in general. They play poor fundamental baseball. Their defense is bad. Their starting pitchers in general are OK but the bullpen is way overrated. They seem to have very little enthusiasm or sense of urgency. They have a very poor manager surrounded by mediocre players. They have way too many injuries. Their "superstar" players are grossly overpaid and very underperformed. Their young core players they keep hyping are just that: over-hyped proving only that they are not good enough to take the team to the next level. Other than that, they are fine. And yes I will be watching them today. I'm still a Twins fan at heart. It just kills me to see how awful they have become.
  13. Whitey333
    IMO. Most fired managers are used as scapegoats by their organization. So thus would be nothing new. I've never been a fan of Baldelli. I don't think he is a very good manager. But it's becoming more and more obvious he's only part of the problem. The Front office must go.
  14. Whitey333
    Hopefully both Correa and wallner are OK. IMO Wallner is much tougher to replace. Correa? He hasn't contributed much and I think he is a huge part of the Twins problem and not part of the solution to the malaise on this team. And in general all these injuries just mask the deep rooted problems with this team. They just give the organization an easy excuse for their putrid play.

    Twins continue to show they aren't serious about fielding a winning team. Their payroll is way too high for a team that is just plain unwatchable. Only 10,240 showed up Monday against a good Mets team. The smallest no covid crowd at Target Field history. I fully expect a salary dump coming this spring or summer.

    I think you would be hard pressed to get a batboy in a Miranda trade lol. Miranda blew it at second base. That's inexcusable. Unfortunately it seems people are putting most of the Twins problems pinned on Miranda. There is plenty on this team to share the blame.
  18. Whitey333
    Well at this pace we should continue to be winning one of every three games. We are in a neck and neck race with the White Sox for last place. Good game today though! Only negative I really saw today was having to use the bullpen so much again today to try and nail down a win. That isn't sustainable. Go Twins
  19. Whitey333
    This team is a trainwreck. We need to let the young players play and see IF they can play. The "veterans" are a joke just like the manager. I guess I am a joke too for buying this Twins team the past couple of years.
  20. Whitey333
    Interesting article Nick. You sure bash Miranda. And understandably and perhaps rightfully so. But Miranda situation is typical of so many of these young twins on the roster. They are fundamentally unsoun̈d and just not ready fir prime time. I don't think many of them will ever be. Exchanging Miranda for Lee is ok but it certainly doesn't move the needle. What has Lee done at the major league level? Nut much.
  21. Whitey333
    Wow. I just love everyone's comments. They are so spot on. Baldelli ball? I love it. The comment, not the manager. He continues to show why he is one of the poorest managers in baseball and maybe the worst manager in Twins history. It would be comical if it wasn't so sad. Only 12,000 people there. How long will it take to start dumping payroll dollars?
  22. Whitey333
    I'm so glad you have Baldellis back. I'm not sure if it was right or wrong. All I can say is when he left the game after only 73 pitches and doing well I knew disaster would happen. Isn't this the same Baldelli who had Ober pitch the first game after Ober was sick and was on an IV the day before? Isn't this the same Baldelli that let Ober pitch after losing 8 pounds and was weak? Weak? That's Baldelli.

    The boring, uninspiring, Twins brand goes on and on and on.
  24. Whitey333
    Attendance will bottom out at around 1.6 to 1.7 this year. There could also be a significant payroll dump by the trade deadline. I think the Pohlads have done a decent job providing payroll dollars but a lousy job of supervising it's usage. Falvey does a lousy job of budgeting payroll given to him. Baldelli does a poor job of managing and playing sound and entertaining baseball. A true organizational failure.
