  1. Twins ownership ahould be fined bonus pool money or face a penalty for this. Two consecutive years of this crap.
  2. This game is ovah, unfortunately. Lifeless bunch.
  3. 5 pitches that inning to get three outs.Twins offense is a pumpkin in Twinsville. White Sox have 3 hits and look like they will win. Twins bats yelling uncle. Feels like we are down 3 runs or more. Three game losing streak gonna balloon to 5.
  4. Twins have been pure ass all season with RISP. 1 for 12 last year. Been a struggle for two years straight. We should bunt just to anno them
  5. Benintendi, I dislike thee. Twins offense and bullpen circling the bowl again. Benetendi now has 14 career home runs in Target field. Not even a bad pitch.
  6. No, I have been a big fan of Culpepper but his defense may he more suited for second base. I mean he did it last night too, biffed a routine grounder. Then strikes out. Rookies, you gotta live with midtakes I guess.
  7. Another bad at bat by Lewis. He is chasing low and outside again. Just trying to do too much.
  8. Another biffed play by the defense. Ugh, Culpepper blew another routine grounder. Now we know why Twins waited to call him up.
  9. If Byron Buxton needs offseason hip surgery, why not start now. Recovery process from hip unpingement is not a slow process. Very painful injury. The time to start planning for this is now. With labor strife on the horizon might not even be a 2027 season.
  10. This issue grinds a lot of fans gears. Every time Buxton or a front line guy is hurt the Twins probably more than any other franchise plays shorthanded, and keeps hoping the guy comes back. Now with carrying 2 extra catchers or 3 total. we have no speed on the bench. I hope the players associations in negotions doesn't allow teams to manipulate services time or play short. There needs to be a Salary floor in baseball and teeth to the agreement that teams are not allowed to go short of 26 healthy players. In what universe does it make sense for the Twins to carry Alex Jackson on the roster. He doesn't even qualify as a 26th man. Next time Tom Pohlad or Jeremy Zoll say the team is going for it or really trying to make the playoffs, have them take a bow and remind them ithat all they do is pay lip service to building a World Series contender. This team won World series with a shrewd General manager and talent that was taken or drafted with the Griffith regime at it's core, and an exceptional manager that drilled defense as a mindset. We have had some great players In 42 years of Pohlad ownership, Pucket, Krbek, Viola, then Radke, Santanna, Liriano, Morneau, Mauer, Hunter, some formidable plsyers as part of the Twins, but this ownership has never gone for it, or put their absolute best foot forwarx to win it all. Always half measures or talk. This franchise is below 500 and a very mediocre run organization IN RECENT memory. The rot starts at the top with the Pohlads. Long past due for them to sell controlling interest to owners that actually care about winning instead of the same old same old. After last years complete bullpen teardown, and this years lingering pitching and bullpen issues, and outfield awfulness we need a new leader at the top, I guess i'm just super frustrated watching the White Sox thrive, and Twins mired in mediocrity. Kind of PO'd they play Rodriguez in Center for Saints and do not call him up. 27 games left, time to cut bait on players that don't play. Been a very frustrating August.
  11. I don't disagree, just annoyed. Thought they would have Krieder in Center, Luke in Right tonight.
  12. Bullpen after being good last week has been awful in California. What did they do on the golf outing Thursday, smoke a bunch of weed? Really bad 6 days of baseballl this last week.
  13. Yes, but he was biffing up routine ground balls to fequently. They should option Keaschall to AAA and make him play in Arizonia fall league and find a defensive position he can finally play. He needs reps on defense wherever they put him. Another **** to bed play by Keaschall. No excuses.
  14. Now the bats swinging at first pitch and mailing it in late as usual. 3 up 3 down. Another winnable game this season, peed down the leg middle innings
  15. He is young 23. But it is Zoll and managemets fault for sticking Keaschall defensively in positions he isn't experienced or ready for.
  16. Yes Zoll sucks at roster construction and management. Stinks Twins play with a short bench. Luke Keaschall better not get handed a job next Spring. He has an OK bat but no reliable defensive position
  17. Can we be done with the Luke Keaschall experiment in Center Field. He turned a catchable ball into a triple. Announcers said Twins bench is thin, with Alex Jaclson and Buxton unavailable. Ridiculous that they brought Kackson back with little versatility.
  18. It is time to go on a 10 game winning streak. Starts with the starting pitching kicking it in gear. We need 9 more in a row.
  19. If Zoll had guts, the best roll of the dice right now is to bring up Jenkins. He looks more ready than Culpepper. I lije KC bat but hus defense isn't rock solid right now. I hated that decision he made last night to throw to 3rd base, just not risk worth taking that chance instead of throwing to first. Seemed like a panic choice.
  20. He didn't look healthy striking out on 6th inning either., Buxton should go on IL, he has zero power or speed in his swing because his right hip and backside are bothering him.
  21. Agreed, I would rather have Jenkins here than Roden watc hing Strike 3 and twice on Sunday.
