    Great win Twins. A sign of a good team is when different people contribute. Such as Vazqueź. Let's beat up on White Sox this week. I sure hope Correa won't be out too long. He is needed badly. Man if Lopez could get back to his 2023 form Twins could really go far

    It's always difficult to evaluate a player when he's very hot. Miranda has done great. Let's appreciate what he's done but then also realize it will end soon. The Twins will need to upgrade their bullpen. It's scary when relying on the likes of Winder and Funderburk. Twins improved their record Saturday against teams with winning records. They are now 18-26 against teams above .500.

    Nice win Twins! Congrats Miranda. We'll done. Gotta love Brooks Lee. He looks like the real deal. Maybe this trade deadline it's time to think about trading a veteran or two as it appears some of our prospects look ready to stay. Let's win on Sunday and take the series before heading to Chicago to takeon the white sox.

    It's always interestin̈g to me to listen to the pro Rocco group. They can't take any criticism of this "great" manager. The Twins are doing OK. I agree with that and am happy about it. But I'm of the belief they should have a better record if we actually had a game manager. In my opinion he does a poor job during g the game. Making and not making prudent pitching decisions is important. Leaving Winder and Funderburk in way too long in a two run game at the time shows he had given up. Also the Twins do a great job of beating up on poorer teams. Their record is 17-26 against teams with winning records. Winder and Funderburk shouldn't even be on the team. I just wish Rocco would mix in some baseball sense with all the analytics. After all he keeps pinch hitting Margo for guys like Larnach. Margo is 0 for 20 pinch hitting . Besides how do you know the lefties can't hit lefties if you never let them do it?

    Weird game. Weird manager but we should be used to that. When the game was relatively close at 7-5 he seemed to be throwing in the towel with Winder and Funderburk. At least they both keep showing the don't belong in the majors. At least not with the Twins. Keep sending Margo to pinch hit for viable left handed batter in Larnach. Margo is 0 for 20 pinch hitting yet our great manager keeps sending him up there. That's 0 for 20. Plus he butchered a ball in left field that most would have caught. The Twibs are now 17-26 against teams with winning records. People say what a comeback. Yes scoring 7 runs in the 9th was good. But they still lost. This isn't the NHL where you get points for just showing up. Pinch hitting for Miranda when he's hit 10 in a row? Absolute insanity. That is what is Rocco ball. It stinks. People say well the team has a winning record. But perhaps it could be better if we had a manager that used common sense mixed In with his analytical playbook.

    Way to go Twins. That's the way to take series against poor teams. I'm hoping we can do well against the red hot Astros as our record against winning teams continues to be atrocious. Go Twins.

    Good article. Well researched and thought out. Falvey needs to do much better in the trade department.

    Festa doesn't look quite ready for the big show. Maybe one more try. After all in a pennant race, yes we are over half the season, you can't afford to have such a weakness in your rotation. Great job Brooks Lee. Nice MLB debut. Twins attendance continues to lag. Mostly through their own fault for many poor decisions this past year and poorly handled in public relations. As of Wednesday the Twins ranked 24th out of 30 MLB teams in attendance. In fact all of the American League Central are in the bottom 8 in attendance. N

    Nice article. Injury prone is better determination than dumb luck. Your comment about people not understanding the muscle skeletal system is probably quite true as most of us are not doctors. So why then do most players on most teams play most of the year without the major injuries. Yes there has been a plethora of injuries throughout MLB. But most still play most of the time. We have put up with all the nonsense and mostly non playing career of Buxton. Lewis appears tge same. We should be used to it.
  10. Whitey333
    I agree with the masses. No need to trade for offense. We have enough in the system. We need to see if they can play MLB. A team can always use pitching but not at the expense of top prospects. I truly believe the payroll will be stagnant for next year or more likely will be cut again. But if our ready an̈d near ready prospects are as good as they are hyped up to be we should be in great shape. Go Twins.

    Over the past few years I've learned to take Doogies rumors with a huge grain of salt.
  12. Whitey333
    Correa has been good for the Twins. Is he worth 35 million per year? In my view no. Not at this point. But after much early consternation I admit he's been very steady. Well, his salary and with the ownership tightening up payroll may make it difficult to add to the team. But his salary is very palatable when you consider the NBA is now paying it's top players in the 50-65 million per year while only playing half the number of games as major league baseball. I bet the next negotiating session between owners and players in MLB will be very difficult.
  13. Whitey333
    Nice win Twins. Too bad about Lewis. Looks like we have another Buxton situation where you can't depend on him to play. For being such a great athlete he sure is hurt alot. He's been in a terrible slump. Oh that's right he doesn't do slumps. We'll whatever a 2 for like 32 stretch is now called that is what he's been doing. If he's down for another extended period it's time to give Lee a look see.
  14. Whitey333
    Ryan has been very good. An ace? Not yet. He needs to do this for the whole season. But he has been their best starter this season. Lopez has been a disappointment so far. The Twins definitely need Lopez from last year if we are to be serious playoff contenders.
  15. Whitey333
    Another Buxton gloating, and over- hyped and excessively dramatized story. I'm sorry for him that he's been injured so much. We never got to see him full time. We will never know him in that way because his biggest statistic in 9 years is games missed. Yes he's oʻn a hot streak right now. It's about time! But we all k ow that he is close to another 2 for 25 stretch that will highlight his ability to flail away at pitches low and away. He sure gets a lot of kudos for such a part time player. Twins Daily could do better by being a little more authentic and honest about Buck.
  16. Whitey333
    No to all of them.
  17. Whitey333
    Nice win Twins. They pulled it out even with another strange lineup and managerial decisions by the great Rocco. Go Twins!
  18. Whitey333
    Nice win Twins. Let's take the series with a win Su n day. Go Twins!
  19. Whitey333
    A prudent FO knows that most anyone is tradable for the right return. Kepler is a good player that could help push a playoff run. He's also very tradeable. I'm betting he's not traded.
  20. Whitey333
    Very questionable le managing again by one of the poorest managers the Twins have ever had. His 10th inning decisions alone qualify him for that. As I've said many times his stick with the process and not worry about the results costs the Twins several games each year. Ot pinch hitting for Vazquez in the 10th is sheer lunacy. But I'm not surprised. He gets out managed a lot.
  21. Whitey333
    Nice win. Twins continue to beat up on sub .500 teams. Hope we can beat seattle at least 2 of 3 this weekend. We are only 12-21 against teams with winning records. Buxton is hot. Let's enjoy it. His long part time career with the Twins indicate he's about to go into a 2 for 25 slump. Go Twins!! E

    Great satire article. The posts were even better. Two of this column in one week? What's happening???
  23. Whitey333
    I love Lewis and his potential as a full time player. But I would not extend him at this point. We already have a part time " superstar" in Buxton. Lewis needs to prove he can stay on the field and produce. It would be prudent fir the Twins to wait. Tying up too much money on a part time player could hamstring the team.
  24. Whitey333
    It's sad what happened to Buck with all the injuries. It's just as sad to piece together the many fragmented seasons and declare him one of the best Twins ever. That does a great disservice to the many Twins players throughout the years that actually played full seasons. It's also sad that we will never know if he would be a career great player without the injuries.

    Welcome aboard Festa. Good luck in your debut Thursday.
