This team is a mess and we're talking about deck chairs -

I'm sorry but, who cares? -
I would like to bump this topic back to the top, now that the twins have been absolutely embarrassed by the tigers for two games. Anyone think this management group should still be around in two more years?
-
I just got on here to see if someone could explain to me why that was not recorded as an E4.
-
If the geniuses would have cut Pagan and Kepler before the season like any rational person I am absolutely certain they would have 5 more wins by now.

I propose setting the line at 1.5, assuming no dramatic improvement from the current lackluster pace, which now goes back basically 2.5 seasons. Injuries have been a disaster, both with their own players and identifying players from outside, they have swung big (for the Twins) on the trade market but that has mostly gone terribly (although I will grant them the quality starting rotation they put together at great expense largely through trade), the "pitching pipeline" has not materialized, they haven't hit a lick since 2020, and the ongoing roster mismanagement continues to be a head scratcher. 7 years in (already more than they gave Bill Smith), and you have to ask yourself, have they really made any strides success-wise? The deck chairs are all rearranged, but has this group really made any progress over what Terry Ryan got them in general?

I think if this season ends up largely a continuation of last season, and it certainly seems trending that way....the continued backfired trades and free agent signings, curious roster decisions, etc etc., I honestly think they might be in double secret probation territory. This group has completely shuffled the deck chairs around, probably to the point where they have a blind over-reliance on the odds and numbers at this point, and they have had no additional success whatsoever from what Terry Ryan was giving them. This team is flailing away not just at the plate but have given away a lot of pieces that have had success elsewhere, they have stubbornly refused to move on from mistakes, never saw an injured player they didn't like, they have had mostly terrible drafts, pitching is a bright spot currently but was not developed as promised and instead required trading away pieces at great expense...I just don't see what it is exactly after 7 years that this front office does well?

Yes, but he can.....actually hit? You know, in between the strikeouts?

Wallner is available

But he had a good April! And we will always have this

Week in Review: Mixed Feelings
I wish the twins were good replied to Nash Walker's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
It would be one thing if it was just the bad performance from Mr.-currently-sitting-at-a-77 OPS+, but he has acted like a complete primadonna on top of it when what he should be doing is anything he can to save his precarious roster spot: 1) refuses to play center field when doing so would allow them to have Wallner up and contributing something to this putrid offense - check 2) refuses to go on rehab assignments when again, it would allow them to get a halfway decent hitter up for at least a week and a half - check 3) refused to get vaccinated leaving them shorthanded when they had to play in Canada during the covid years - check This is just the stuff that's become public, but I think it paints enough of a picture you can fill in the rest of the blanks.... he's a PITA on and off the field.- 32 replies

Kepler: hey, why was my flight to Tampa rerouted through Frankfort? Anybody with functioning eyeballs: Auf wiedersehen, Kep!

Death by 100 singles

So you're saying he needs to eat more. I bet they haven't tried that one yet, why not.
-
Man I really hope they can get out of their own way with this. Just take one of the top 5 you aren't smarter than everybody else!
-
Tigers in the playoffs would be a fun story. I'm rooting against the Twins at this point.
-
This team about to get its butt kicked... Again
-
And now we could have potentially had Kirilloff up in a huge spot against a righty, but we get..... Castro.
-
I'm not usually one of these Rocco haters but he needs to stop pinch hitting Willi freaking Castro for any player that can actually hit. I don't care if he gives you some slight platoon advantage on paper. Kirilloff is a far better hitter and now you're stuck with Castro in the lineup for the rest of the game.
-
Yeah, he's never been a great hitter but this is just a black hole in the lineup and he has a surprising number of defensive miscues for a well regarded catching vet. I think I'd rather take my chances with Jeffers back there most nights at this point.
-
Maybe he can focus on making contact first.... Any contact
