    Where is the gong for the gong show hitting coach? 2 for 22 this series with runners in scoring position. Twins are having brutal at bat's in all counts. No patience and everyone is trying hero ball. Baldelli doesn't make a change he may be out the door soon enough.

    2 for 22 this series with runners in scoring positions. Twins are more than sluggish or constipated, they have become irregular. Not sure there is any fiber in the entire system to unclog the at-bat's. Twins bat's look slow and geriatric. Time for fines and suspensions. I was right about Louie Vaarlamd not being a starter, could see the cracks last year.

    Margot doesn't have much of an arm does he. Man is that guy a bad fit for the Twins Not sure why Twins felt compelled to bring him in. Front office and ownership had one of the worst off-season decision making periods for the Twins. No wonder Lavine was trying to bail, Joe Pohlad is scrooge reincarnated.

    Twins are back in the sh!ther again. Wondering if this 2021 revived or if there is any chance to com e out of 2024 tailspin. Hard to be optimistic.

    Is it too soon to want a fire Rocco Baldelli poll. Can't fire all the players This entire team needs a swift kick in the rear. They are so apathetic and indifferent to how poorly they are playing. You can tell they are poor in all phases of baseball right now.

    What is over under on Ober runs given up. I say 5 before the bullpen will have to mop up.

    At least the Wolves play tomorrow so I can skip watching the Twins. I may decide to right size ticket purchases and not attend any games. I suggest other Twins fan's do the same. Signing Vazquez and Gallo last year should get you booted. Here's looking at you Lavine.

    12 strikeouts and counting. Sigh! Hitting approach so flawed.

    Thielbar needs to be released. He IS not pitching well, committing this pick off attempt and error was a crucial play that moved runner up. Manager Rocco, everything he touches seems to go to rot. He should just not do anything if he wants to make change. Do the opposite. Twice now Thielbar has let his team down against Tigers.

    My concern isn't just the Twins slump, the whole organization through minor leagues is struggling to hit, with exception of a few players. This is starting to resemble a system issue not just a few coaches. Is it the drafting, the coaching. I know Buehler was a good catch, outside of trades seems to be weakness from recent draft classes.

    Boring and seeing repeative, the same mistakes over the plate or chasing bad pitchrs is getting old. This is supposed to be a professional team but right now the jersey's are posing. I like the Twins but the lack of improvement is stunning. There seems to be acute lack of awareness of how poor the overall play has been. This is turning into the exact kind of season the Minnesota Wild just had. Current small sample size but could be getting worse.

    We need "Right Sized Roster T-shirts" to mock Joe Pohlad.

    There is clearly something gone amiss in hitting even if I got hitting coach name wrong. Twins team not just struggling to hit, or score runs, they are utterly tanking. They are struggling at all levels of organization. Hitting coach could just as well be Randy Dobnak in disguise.

    I know Baldelli is the manager but things seem really out of whack right now and it is more than the injury bug. This is more than a strike out issue or bad luck. The Twins hitting approach seems really flawed at least it appears so. Being last in all of baseball is more than poor. Team batting average of .195, before today, OBP .284, slugging .336 .For those totals we could have Joe Vavraa walk in the door and possibly do better coming in off his couch. Twins baseball has become unwatchable and it is the poor hitting approach(strategy) and execution as much as pitching. This isn't just this year either, this is carryover from last season. There really is a large enough sample size that there appears there is change needed. April is early but there are alarming things and trends happening daily. If the manager will not do it, make a change, then front office appears to need to do something. Are the Twins really this talent poor?

    Still think Varland is mote valuable as short inning reliever than 5th starter. His stuff suggest one inning guy for being effective.
  16. jaimedude
    Cueto can still go a little, if they could sign him to Milb deal that would be good.
  17. jaimedude
    Probably a little panic to the pitching injury news. Thought Clevinger might help is. Varland would be a really good 7th or 8th inning guy. Not sue he has stamina to be a long term starter for Twins
  18. jaimedude
    Would be nice to have another experienced arm in the rotation. Would allow them to work Varland out of the bullpen. Clevinger gives you innings and can pitch. Seems willing to accept one year deal now.
  19. jaimedude
    Any chance Twins would try to get multiple year deals done with Thielbar, Farmer, Alcala and Gordon rather than go to arbitration.
  20. jaimedude
    I would like to see Michael A Taylor back with the Twins. His defense was a welcome addition this season and saved us from having a merry go round in Center Field, and Jake Cave.

    I doubt the Twins want to go to one provider like Bally's again and have all eggs in one basket. Any chance Twins would try to put together a Midwest Sports or Victory together with other Sports teams in a regional Sports Network. Is there any chance with the collapse of Bally's Sports North and the end of the TV contract that the Twins would start up an LLC and see if they could build a regional Sports programing network to the upper Midwest. Try to develop parthnerships with the Wild, Wolves, MN FC the Loons, University of Minnesota, St Thomas, St Cloud State, Minnesota State-Mankato, UMD, Saint Paul Saints, maybe Horse racing through the local race tracks. Professional wrestling. The problem with Victory was cost and lack of programing. I know this is easier talking about it then actually doing something like this. To me the only way this works is if you build an upper Midwest Content sports developer that has multiple media rights, then negotiate a distribution rights deal to air with multiple platforms like Peacock, MAX, Apple, CBS Sports Network, Your probably going to have to offer tiered content where you have basic plans, that only get you so many games, and then a tier that gets you all of the games at a higher cost in order to make this work. Maybe offer smaller plans to the over the air networks for limited games. To me it makes sense, you want all the games you pay more, you only want weekend games you pay a little less, you want more viewing options you pay for a higher tier.

    I too am hoping for Farmer at 3B, Castro in Left, Taylor in Center. I would add I want to see Vasquez behind the plate calling this game. Lewis back to DH and Julien at 1B.
  23. jaimedude
    It's awesome that the AJ Pierzynski trade in 2003 still paid off dividends in 2018 with adding Johan Duran. I had forgotten the Eduardo Escobar trade in 2018 did that. That is a cool tidbit and bit of history for 2023.
  24. jaimedude
    Jax has like 10 losses but how many more losses has he had a dire t hand 8n. Seems like at least 20 games this season where he let inherited runners score or got himself in trouble by walking or hitting a guy. Jax is turning into th8s teams version of Brian Duensing another overused reliever.
  25. jaimedude
    You can pitch Jax in 6th or 7th, he doesn't handle the 9th inning well. Get's too wired.
