  1. Farmer used to be a guy who could poke a ball into RF for a hit. Now he's trying to pull on everything. So maybe he's not K'ing but they're easy outs
  2. To me it's one of the most important stats that has been devalued by the metrics guru's
  3. To bad Farmer couldn't mimic that result.
  4. Rocco isnt obligated. That is true. But is he the dutiful soldier?
  5. Not really controversial. But I don't think Rocco wants to get 27 outs from his bullpen either
  6. Rota? Why would he be sent to Spain? Is he joining the Navy?
  7. Bailing is not an option. The inequity of just thinking like that. I saw a post the other day comparing the Twins to the Titanic. In this case. If there is to be any bailing. Women and children are 1st to the lifeboats. Cmon Chief. You know the rules
  8. Question. Where do you think the 6-12 Twins would be with Lewis? 3 games better? Playing .500 baseball. That's kinda what they hovered around last year until they pulled away at seasons end
  9. Rocco after a loss. Twisting the night away
  10. Twins working like a chain gang to get out of a jam. Ugh agh
  11. Trips mckiriloff 3 straight games
  12. Here's my take for what it's worth. And it's not unique to just the Twins. The 2024 projections were based on a lot of "ifs". If Lewis could stay healthy and build off his successful 2023 campaign. If Correa could return to form. Being hobbled for most of 2023. If Buxton who was finally healthy could play X amount of games and put up mvp like numbers. If Kepler produced what he did in the 2nd half last year. If Julien and Wallner don't have the dreaded sophomore slump. And maintained what they did with a " slight" drop-off. If Jeffers could match last year. If Vasquez could improve his poor hitting season and continue his solid catching. If Varland, Paddack, and or DeSclafani could replace Maeda and Gray's innings with similar results. Super utility man Castro would cover the diamond and contribute offensively. Santana was going to push Kirilloff aside with his defense and his ability to hit left handers. Margot was going to help as a defensive plug and add offense against lefties. The bullpen was going to be one of the best in baseball. Farmer being a solid infield backup with good numbers vs lefthanders. And Martin and Lee were knocking on the door. Sure it's only 17 games. But at this point, MOST of those "ifs" haven't delivered. I just believe that perhaps it may have been too large an ask for all those to fall into place and run away with another division crown in a cakewalk.
  13. Duran as a starter. Nope. I don't even like him going multiple innings. He has and he can do it. But it sure seems as if there is a big drop-off in performance when he does so. Let's get him healthy so he can close games if the Twins can ever get the lead.
  14. Randy, David, Popke, Bobke, Popkins, Pop-in, pumpkin. It's one of those. Dammit
  15. Twins Daily game thread used to be pretty insightful and entertaining. Now, not so much. I'm out. He might get Popkinized.
  16. With the runner on 1st running on that pitch Castro went to cover 2nd and was slow to react. He's not getting there. Not on Martin. Unless he got Popkinized 😏
  17. Popkins doesn't have anything to do with outfield play.
  18. Austin Martin. Perhaps he can play CF. Nice play
  19. With today's game being an early start. I am surprised Buxton is DHing. Especially after all the running he did last night, as well as banging off the wall. That's a good sign.
  20. And don't forget that BAM money
  21. Here's what's funny. When he was sent down last year he was leading the team in RBIs so it wasn't just he was struggling, but he had options. Did he deserve to get sent down last year? Less than Wallner does now. Wallner has done nothing. Right now he has too many people in his ear. The best thing he can do is go down and get some confidence.
