    Just finished watching the Twins lose 7 to 3 to the Cardinals. The only Offience I saw tonight, which was a very little bit that I watched, was a home run by Wallner he’s been there only Offence for the last three games. Ryan looks cooked. Glad to know the upper management and rocky don’t think these bunch of deadbeats don’t need any help. I’d play Julian, Wallner,Lewis (when healthy,)kirriloff and Jeffers and that’s it. We have seen the prospects perform so I’d bring up a couple more. Larnach and Correa are necessary and bring up brooks lee now.

    This situation has been going on for years with the knee. So he can’t play centerfield how about dfa Joey gallo and put him in left? that could solve 2 problems, Buxton taking up the dh spot and open up a spot for another bat at dh.. Maybe Wallner or larnach. If Buxton can’t play left field, maybe time to shut him down for awhile and let the knee rest .

    Another one run game for the twins offense. I don’t care what color lipstick you put on this pig you can’t cover up the fact correa in Buxton are hurting this team. Every time solarno, Julian or Kirilloff (when he gets a chance to play)get things going it seems like either Buxton or correa come up and hit into double play or gallo strikes out to end a rally.Moving correa to lead off doesn’t make sense. He’s so inconsistent he should be batting 6th and Buxton should either be playing centerfield, or be put on the IL. He still continues to swing wildly at pitches hoping for another homer. I’m beginning to feel like I’m watching a replay. Today I turned the game off in the 4th inning. Welcome to second place in the worst division in baseball!!!

    I agree Kepler and popkins should go. I’m sad to see what max has become but wonder if a new hitting coach could save his career. We know what Joey gallo is and he should go also. listenining to Royce Lewis say he is going BACK to the way he was hitting seems to indicate he was instructed to do something different. After watching him strike out three times yesterday I’m worried that he and kirriloff and julian will be screwed up under this coach. I love Buxton as much as anyone but if he can’t play somewhere in the outfield he should be put on the Injury list until he is able to. It’s clear now he is hurting the team by wasting the dh spot to him. Carlos has no excuses. He should be moved down to 7th in the order until he remember not to swing at pitches a foot out of the zone. I hope it will wake up the self proclaimed leader of this team. I would bring up Wallner and larnach and also Camargo to catch and dfa vazgueze.

    Watching this team is depressing for a real twins fan. Everyday I look at the line up of the day and just don’t understand what the heck Rocco is thinking. Even the starters can’t be sure they will be in the game by the 3rd inning. Rocco’s decision's seem to be made by which crappy reliever the manager of the other team brings in to pitch. Then he’ll pull a Julian or Lewis or a kirriloff for Anyone who bats from the other side of the plate. I can remember Rocco pinch hitting for Lewis with a player with a .190 batting average. I understand the analytics but how are these young players ever going to improve if never given a chance in a pressure situation? I’m not so sure the players haven’t given up on Rocco. This team has the talent so one reason could be that he has lost the clubhouse. If that’s the case Rocco should be replaced before we fall farther behind Cleveland and soon Detroit and Chicago. The way we are going I really believe Kansas City is the only team we might finish ahead of. If that’s the case then Rocco would have to go anyway. I’ll continue to watch the twins until they fall into 3rd place, then turn my attention to anything else. I would love to ask the pollad ownership take a good look at what falvey has accomplished since taking over the twins and think about making some changes.

    I really believe we need to get rid of baldelli. His management relies on numbers to a fault. No sense in my going over all the poor decisions he’s made this year. I don’t think sonny gray will resign with the twins because of baldelli. I don’t believe he I’d the only current player getting disgusted with him and his analytics to decided who plays or not. Some of our young talent has to be discouraged every time they bench them for someone with a lesser batting average. If the owner was smart he’d replace falvey too. The club has been getting some great crowds lately but I can’t see that continuing once they dropout of first place in a league that is as bad as the central. I would also send reliever Lopez with roccco since he likes him so much. I feel I’ve wasted to much of my time watching this team and even more writing this review.

    I consider myself a great twins fan. Last night was the first time I turn the game off. After 3 innings . I stay tune in to watch the young stars like larnach, kiriloff Julian.. If anyone should have a pinch hitter it should be Correa! Drop him down to the 7 or 8 hole.! I saw the box score after the game and saw 16 strickouts. Unfrickinbelivabe!!!! You guys might want to consider a new hitting coach. The twins lead all of baseball with 474 strikeouts. Buxton and Correa half nearly 100 between the 2 of them. This is unacceptable. Hard to believe they extended Rocco’s contract.🤔

    Good god replace the hitting coach. As a fan I can not watch one strike out after the next.. the lineups Rocco sends out there is pathetic. He keeps shuffling players in and out of every game with his analytics.I’m sick of it. How can anyone get in a groove when they get 1 or 2 at bats because the other team sends in a lefty or visa versa. I would love to see Rocco replaced also.

    Ok. If the twins are fortunate and smart enough to draft Wyatt Langford from Florida I believe the fact that they were lucky enough to win the number 5 pick in this years draft, they will take him with there first pick. From the research I’ve done he could be a franchise type player. Time will tell. If they don’t draft him which would be a huge mistake, I think Brooks lee would be my next choice. I think Emmanuel Rodriguez will already be on the roster. The future looks very bright with Lewis, Rodriguez, lee,prielipp and hopefully Langford coming soon. I’m counting on kiriloff and larnach with BUCK and C4 to mentor the youngster to a WORLD SERIES by 2028. Sounds good huh?

    I don’t understand the Joey Gallo pick up at all. In my opinion I believe Max Kepler is going to have one of his best years. With the new rules intact and some changes with his swing, I believe we’ll see the best of Max this year. with all the outfielders that we have you would’ve thought the twins would’ve spent the money they invested in Gallo on pitching. Oh and by the way it’s still not too late to make another offer on Mr. Korea!
  11. Wilco1
    I don’t feel any player is worth that much money so I was relieved that he signed with the giants. Now my hope is the money the we’re prepared to spend on Carlos, could go towards both Swanson and Rodon. I would say that would be a greater value to the club than just Carlos. Now we know the management was willing to go that high, we should expect a concerted effort to go after them before they get signed elsewhere.
  12. Wilco1
    If the boss says he’s on board, you better sign him!! This would get more fans back in the seats. We want to see a team that can compete in the central. My guess 100 %?
  13. Wilco1
    WOW!! Do you think the brass tried to talk him down to 500 thousand before they signed him. I’m so feed up with this teams management and coaching decisions that after a lifetime twins fan I’m about to give up. I doubt they’ll sign Gio Urshela. They’ll want to save the money to sign a couple more hacks like garlick. Of course they could sign him,I doubt any other team was interested.Shows me what they think of their talent in the minors. If they don’t have a player that could be of more use than garlick we are in really bad shape. The 2023 season doesn’t look promising.I plan to find other things to spend my time and money on. The only thing that could draw me back is when they fire falvine and the ENTIRE coaching staff!!?

    Thank you Buck, it’s gonna be fun to watch twins games for the next 7 years. Win or lose, to be treated to watch you play baseball will bring joy to twins fans everywhere.??
  15. Wilco1
    Minnesota has a chance to have 1 superstar on each of its pro teams. Jefferson on the Vikings, ANT for the wolves, and BUCK for the twins. I could add Kaprizov with the wild. I believe every team needs that star power for the joy of looking forward to watching that player. I know I watch the twins game because I can’t wait to see him play. Each game he seems to make a run saving catch,or get a big hit. For myself and I imagine thousands of other Buxton fans, if he’s traded there will be no reason to go to the games or even watch them on tv. Please don’t let this one get away.

    Love the idea that pat reusse is able to determine bucks feelings. He’s one of player on this team with a positive future. Trading him would be the last straw for me with regard to supporting the twins.
