    Excellent article and comments. The previous two years the offense bailed out the pitching. It's disgraceful that they apparantly have no scouting skills. Seems as far as pitching goes we are always shopping for bargains. You get what what you pay for.

    Wow. Awesome article with a lot of great comments. I have mixed feelings regarding Donaldson. Personally I wish he would just keep his mouth shut, stay healthy, and keep playing well. I don't think he is amongst the top 5 most hated twins players. He may be the only player on the team with a pulse. Just tone it down please. We are already embarassed by the teams results. Let's not add to it.

    I'm not a Shoemaker fan either. Yes he should have been DFA a month or two ago. However, I am very frustrated with Baldelli. He should be ashamed of himself for leaving Shoemaker out there. It's an embarassment to the team. I actually felt sorry for the pitcher as Rocco left him out there. I would be irate if I was Shoemaker for letting him hang out to dry. Shoemaker should be gone, it is true. But I'm getting very frustrated with Rocco and how he's handling the team. Is anyone in control of the team?

    Interesting how the broadcasters keep saying Chicago got "soft" hits all night and that Maeda was unlucky. Also they your the Twins for coming back and making it close. They treat fans like idiots at times. We can see bad baseball for what it is. Stop trying to sugar coat a bad team and bad performances. They are a poorly put together team, with very little offense, no defense, and terrible pitching and play awful. Do we have a manager?

    The Twins FO got themselves into this mess by signing has been pitchers that other teams didn't want. Yes we have had a lot of injuries. So has everyone else. We need to sell at deadline. But please don't trade for suspects that may become prospects in 3 years. If that is all you can get it goes to show what other teams think of your lack of talent. We need good starting and bullpen pitchers

    Excellent article! Well done!!

    Very poor effort by the offense. With most of the regulars playing, minus Buxton of course, they were pathetic. Only mustering one run against a pitcher that entered the game with an era over 6. A major problem all year. It's time to break it up boys. And another strange performance by our beloved manager that continues to be out managed by the opponents. Lackluster,boring,and no life. Pretty sad performance. Way too many if those this year.

    Great comments by all!! Isn't it fun how we all play general manager and budget payroll dollars from ownership? I will join the group by saying yes we need to keep Berrios. No blank check though. Must be reasonable. If we spend to much on a guy who generally "works" once a week he won't have any good players around him. On the other hand wasting money like we did on Happ, Shoemaker, et al was foolish. Idk 5/75 sounds reasonable.

    WPA is not very useful. If kirilloffs WPA wasn't good yesterday what does it say about the many guys that went over yesterday. These "newly invented" stats the past few years are a joke. It among so many other things us what is driving true baseball fans away from the game. MLB is becoming increasingly unwatchable.
  10. Whitey333
    I can't believe all this love for Byron Buxton. Look at his career stats. He is hitting 247. He's only had one year with more than 100 hits. He has less than 1500 at bats in 7 seasons. He had a great April this year at .370. the fact remains he is a great defensive player but an average player at best. He is hurt way too often to invest long term with him. Get him back on the field then trade him.
  11. Whitey333
    Very well thought out article. I agree with most of it. It is a little tough to trade Big Mike because we need pitching so badly
  12. Whitey333
    I find it amusing how people dig up, invent, or otherwise use sometimes obscure analytics and stats to explain away poor play and try to convince us they aren't playing that poorly. They have a lot of injuries yes but they weren't playing well with a "full" team. The Twins problems to me seem simple:. No offense, no defense, no pitching. The fact that the FO keeps signing reclamation pitching with the hopes they may rebound compounds the problem.
  13. Whitey333
    This is ridiculous! Digging deep through totally obscure statcast b.s. most people realize wins and losses are what matters. Most of the analytic "statistics" are mainly used by agents to try and get more money for their agents. I am almost amused when I try and look up a new analytic stat and how they are supposedly so importantant. Doesnt batting average, on base percentage, home runs, RBIs, risp mean anything anymore? That's what used to be important. Apparantly not anymore
  14. Whitey333
    I don't understand these Sano lovers. His stats speak for themselves. He's terrible. Twins problems as a whole are simple:. No offense, no defense, and no pitching. Add in no enthusiasm, and lack of effort makes for boring baseball.
  15. Whitey333
    One of the most ridiculous articles I've ever read in sports. Sano has been babied by the Twins for way too long as it is. Simply put he has been one of the least productive twins in a long time. I don't think the writer watches him at all like the fans do. Most of us cringe when he comes up. It's strikeout time and rally killing time when he steps up to the plate. It's long time to move on Sano.
  16. Whitey333
    I'm sick and tired of the Twins apologists on here. How can anyone be so naive about baseball results to make Sano look good to average in his strikeouts. He needs to go. It's time to move the veterans. Bring in some younger players that actually appear to care. This group of "veterans" doesn't appear to.
  17. Whitey333
    it's time to let the kids play!! We are in last place, deserve to be there, and going nowhere. It's time to see what they can do. At this point wins and losses don't matter. Just ask the underperforming veterans in the lineup. Wins and losses doesn't seem to matter to them. Let's dump some of them and try something new. Maybe some younger players will bring some enthusiasm to the park. There isn't any there now anyway!!

    What happened to the guy they brought up to play outfield? Was his name rundfeldt? I don't even know. But he went 4 for 4 and I haven't seen him since. Is he hurt? Not saying he's the answer but what happened to him? Yesterday Baldelli had both Donaldson and Simmons out as "scheduled days off". Why do you take the whole left side of your infield out on a day you have a chance to take the series against first place club? Baldelli should remember this is a home game with fewer and fewer fans attending. If you have to do such stupid things do it on the road. This team is pathetic.
  19. Whitey333
    Just another twins pitching reclamation project. How boring and old is this? Younger what you invest in. Twins pitching is terrible. Shoemaker is just another example. He's probably doing the best he can. Are we surprised? Should we be?
  20. Whitey333
    Twins don't have much trade value. Twins put Cave on 60 day dl today. Sorry about his injury but he wouldn't even be on most MLB rosters.now all we will be hearing from Twins people is conveniently whining about the injuries as a way to explain their lot play. But check it out. The Twins were rotten when Kiriloff Buxton and cave in there anyway. They should plan every year for Buxton to be out 1 to 2 months.
  21. Whitey333
    I am not a Rocco apologist he has done a very poor job this season. But the guy who I believe won manager of the year in 2019 and won 2 division titles in his first 2 years isn't the only one that should be thrown under the bus. Put the blame squarely on the players and front office. Both of them are doing nothing. Rocco should put his computer and analytic approach on at temporary haitus and try MANAGING. It's too easy to fire the manager. It's time to move some of these " veteran" players. I surely don't know how the rookies and prospects could do any worse.

    And by the way, what about Byron Buxton? He is a very good player WHEN HE PLAYS. Seven years in and what do you have? Great defensive center fielder. Pretty good hitter but very streaky. And the worst thing is all the injuries. In his 7 year twins career he barely plays in half the games. What good is a good guy and decent player if you can't count on him to play.
  24. Whitey333
    Wow guys. My bad. I guess I sure am gullable! I sure fell for that satire. Still is inexcusable Twins have the worst record in baseball. Yes they have injuries but don't forget they weren't playing well with those players. They are getting very hard to watch. FO apparantly doesn't notice.
  25. Whitey333
    How low have the Twins gotten? They not only play boring listless baseball, now they hire a horse trainer. And one who has been caught cheating several times regarding horse doping. I can't believe where there neandrithal thinking will take them next. Where is MLB in this? Can't believe they would allow this and it's scandal possibilities. How about trying to win games? Worst record in baseball. Inexcusable.
