  1. Dump Clemmons, he doesn't hit. Kiersey and Gasper should be in AAA, Kiersey maybe you keep to pinch run. He doesn't seem instinctive. Not sure other than switch hitting why Gasper is here. Short, slow doesn't hit much, bad base runner.
  2. Yeah Julien they should try to trade. There other guys on roster that will pass him up. He doesn't really have position flexibility other than 2nd and 1st base. He isnt it, as the leadoff guy. Once Keaschell and Castro healthy I wouldn't expect Eddie to be on the roster.
  3. Need to move on from Rocco and get rid of the poor bench players. I know they have injuries but why are they insisting on filling roster of slow, short players with very little upside. Gasper and Clemmons need to be gone. You don't win many games with AAAA players starting games. Gasper breaking back the bag on Bader's hit, he doesn't belong in Big leagues. That dude's a jinx.
  4. Another 4 wasted at bat's on a no talent like Gasper. I would not sign him to play for the Saints. Gasper is a very limited hitter with low ceiling. Zero reason Gasper should be polluting 40 man roster beyond injuries. I rather have Jake Cave and he is old.
  5. Exactly, we need McCusker and Royce Lewis up and Gasper and Clemmons out if here.
  6. That's because Rocco sucks at strategy historically. None of the moves since last years collapse seem to click.
  7. Epitome of Varland in the 9th so far or late inning tight situations Twins are short a late inning bullpen arm. Thos has been an obvious shortcoming since last year. Sucks ownership hasn't let Twins address this weakness.
  8. I was at yesterday's game and tge first White Sox game. Not used to so few fans only on Vikings home games Sundays and bad weather days have I been where it is so empty. A lot of the food stands have been closed. Hard to staff when attendance low. They would improve attendence just announcing a tentative sales agreement I think.
  9. I rather have him than Gasper. The third catcher thing with him is super over-rated. Let him be gone back to AAA.
  10. I think Austin Martin is on DL but yeah he is better MLB hitter. I like Kiersey speed and defense, just wish he would get on base more.
  11. Nope, why waste at bats in St Paul, he would be better with the Twins then continuing to carry Bride, Gasper and new guy. Lewis is already better than those three combined.
  12. Kind of an indictment of roster management to have two DFA guys and a AAAA guy in Gasper he is no Mickey Hatcher on the roster. Well that and all of the injuries. Bring Royce back this week. Three games in St Paul is enough.
  13. Honestly would rather see Clemmons get a shot. Gasper batting 5th is a big reach. Messes the whole line-up flow up.
  14. Why is Gasper on this roster let alone batting 5th and DH'ing. He's not fast, he doesn't make contact and he doesn't really have a good infield position. I rather take a chance on someone else at AAA getting a hit than having Gasper up. Don't care what he does at AAA he doesn't hit at the big league level.
  15. I don't know about the rest of you but I enjoyed the win. Pitching kept the Twins in it just long enough, Jax and Varland were good. Duran did enough to get the job done. I think once it warms up a little more Duran will be back to his old self. Got to get the bats producing a little more offense.
  16. Was hoping the team would improve but so far doesn't look like it. Really not at all. Scoring only two or three runs a game isn't gonna win many baseball games. Bullpen has blown five or six games the Twins led in the 7th inning or later. So we have a really leaky bullpen and we go long stretches of games where the Twins generate almost zero offense. Not a recipe for winning Baseball. The sucking part, I think we as Twins fan's were hoping not to, but should have figured with ownership unwilling to invest in the roster.
  17. Chicken feet? Geez chicken feet barely makes soup. Surely a nice win over the Mets deserves some wings with Buffalo sauce or a nice two piece from KFC. HK post Chicken feet, that is worse than chicken jockey. That's like getting a re-gifted bread oven for your birthday. Nasty chicken feet, probably has tor nails even. I expect much better Chicken winners on Wednesday. Chicken feet is not much of an effort.
  18. I'm not trading Ober, Ryan, Lopez. They do need those parts to win games. What we need most is a line up boost that opens up at bats a and fastball for more guys. A right handed guy that fouls off pitches, works counts and drives pitches into the gaps and doesn't just pull the ball. That guy used to be Correa, now C4 seems to just rely on his defense as a contributor. It's still elite defense but we could use him hitting balls to the gaps again. You would think he would want a ring and ride with his guys. Right now he doesn't even look like a shadow or shell of that guy. Kicker is, he works hard and it is in there. Buck os streakey but when he is on one he is a lot of fun to watch. We need a healthy confident Royce Lewis back also. Could use another professional hitter to DH too. Not sure the source on that.
  19. If Rocco doesn't have a say in his line-ups or team or control then why is he even the manager. The GM's job is to aquire, scout and bring in talent, then trust his people to develop the talent. Not set line-up , make starting or bullpen pitching decisions or hame day calls. Advance scouts analytics and coaches help, but the manager has final say. I'm hoping at some point Rocco starts pushing the right buttons. I mean they hit the ball a lot harder than a last place team. At some point the dribbles and line drives should turn the Twins way some. At least statistically and modeling you would think so. I mean they are not without talent. Maybe we should wear the M caps more? Something needs to change, a stinky rally sausage, a holy striped tube sock, some sage. Something will break the current curse. Baseball is a game of doing the details and little stuff right. If Rocco doesn't turn it and pull the right strings he will not be here next year.
