Why would you eliminate your pro scouting staff? Are they not the one's that do advanced scouting for analytics. Some things cannot be automated or AI generated from analytics software or video. Tendencies like batters eye, backdrops, bats use of bench guys and in stadium viewing when each stadium has different dimensions, lighting, wind direction, some things just require human intelligence to catch minut and individual details and things that a pro scouting department does. This is just short sighted by the Pohlads to just dump their pto scouting staff. Some things can be freelanced but not the same as having your own team gathering intelligence and information. Small details matter in pro sports, things not so obvious can make a difference to a manager or coach in preventing 1 run or gaining 1 run, like a timed pick off move, or time from a pitchers release to a catchers throw. Self scouting your own team and opponent matters. This isn't a great look by Joe Pohlad to just discard the pro scouting staff like they are not making contributions. It is more than cheap it is impetueous, even with changes to the game. They even gather data on minor league call ups, and scout potential talent ads like Cody Clemmons off waivers, that is part of a pro and advanced scouts job. Joe Pohlads craps on everything he does with the Twins. This is beyond being cheap and saving money, it is arrogance. Way to go Discount Joe. This is like not offering condiments with your food offerings level cheap.

Twins win!

How about just dump some of these guys on the 40 man that are out of options, that will not be here next year and give Jenkins and Gozalez a shot to close out year. You know guys slike Eduard Juliene, Jose Miranda, Fitzgerald, Outman etc....

Blind squirrels find a nut some times. Only his 5th hit as a Twin. How many stolen bases has Gasper given up catching, seems like infinity.

Mickey Gasper better not be any where near Twins roster next year or they are not even trying to win. He has no defensive position in MLB., nor is he a good hitter.

I'm gonna say it, after she called Pareda out on a clearly ball 4 count, this Umpire sucks. That call, this umpire doesn't know a strike zone.

Eduard Juliene has about three plays he could have adequately fielded at 1st base tonight he completely whiffed on. Wow this ump doesn't call anything on corners or the black of the plate a strike. Not a fan of this strike zone. Kuechal back to committing errors that flipone at bat into big inning . I don't kniw if he can be counted on to play second base next year.

Am I the only one that want's the Twins to sign Josh Naylor as a free agent to play first base next year. I've always thought he plays a decent first base, and has hit well as an opponent in Target Field. I'm not saying it will happen but Naylor is on my wish list to start at first base for the Twins next year. Hoping Twins go for a quick rebuild and compete for Division and playoffs next year. If we keep Ober, Lopez, Ryan, Matthews and Woods Richardson I thinks Twins already have a competitive rotation. Keep them all healthy and add to the offense a first basemen and rebuild the bullpen and I think Twins could return to competitiveness next year.

I like our rotation next year if Lopez, Ryan, Ober, and Matthews can all stay healthy. Build a bullpen, better back up catcher and a first basemen and things could get better next year.

Gasper is the reason teams run on the Twins. He just simply is not a MLB catcher.

Oh hell, why is Cabrera in the game?

Feckless Falvey will not dump Hatch or Cabrera because that would be admitting his waiver claims blow and he needs to DFA those two. You could throw retired Glen Perkins on the mound and he would pitch better than Hatch and Cabrera. Hatch is stinko Malenko.

This game is in the turlet already. Time to change the channel.

Cabrera and Davis seem like no brainer DFA's to me.

Would much rather see Morris and Raya be given chances I n bullpen to close out year than some of the current cast of characters in the major league bullpen.

We for sure have 4 relievers that should be DFA candidates, Davis, Cabrera, Hatch, Kriske. Are there any i am missing?

Can we please stop sending out the relievers that keep getting pounded and try some different people?Or is Falvey purposely trying to torment Twins fans. There are three guys Davis, Cabrera and Hatch that have shown they are neither part of the answer or the future.

Twins look like a 100 loss teams now.

This Cabrera seems like a lost cause. Adam's not very good either. He hasn't been able to throw a strike.

Crud on the caught stealing.

Larnach still hitting well.

Let's facts the Twins are not very good at baseball right now. The Twins have a bunch of players that are not Major league caliber players.

If Rocco is back next year there will be even less fans in stands than now. A lot of Twins fans have tired of his bullpen usage and blown saves. I mean it is the pitchers fault but Rocco picks who pitches the 9th. Rocco has had a really bad year with bullpen blown saves and memorable losses that resulted from key mistakes.

I would like to see Fedko given a shot. He would bring better energy and effort than Outman has been lately. Festa could go on 60 day IL as an option.

I think Festa, Bradley and Abel all have the stuff to be either a closer or too set up guy in the glimpses we have gotten. Bradley seems like the guy with strike out stuff. I thought Festa had the stuff and make up to be a closer before the shoulder injury. Funderburk has stuff but o don't know if he has a closers mindset to go after people.
