Castro has great value as a super utility player , I see his salary to high for the payroll so he will be traded and replaced with younger and cheaper players , the FO has no choice if they are to keep the payroll around 130 million ... Others have earned a raise , others have not , it's what to do with the have not that the FO needs to do with them ....

I agree with this ... STOP SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNNED MONEY ON YHE TWINS and hope they sell ... They already are losing money by suspending a fan from target field for displaying a sign , keep it up pohlads and even you won't be able to afford the price of admission ....

He did have a good half season , don't really know what to expect from him yet because of injuries ... I guess we'll just have to wait and see next year , won't we ????

Looking at wins and saying he is a good manager is crazy , 2019 the players had career years and Baldelli sat back and hardly had to manage for a 100 plus win season , the playoffs were different , he managed and it was awful and has been awful since , their game is not exciting unless they use a juiced ball ... win or lose , it's how you play the game , and the game isn't exciting , because Baldelli's technic is not exciting ... The players have no comfort in an ever changing unstable lineup ... Expect more of the same next year ..I'm done spending money on the twins , ( twinfest , spring training , target field games and apparel ) ...

But they hit more solo homeruns than 3 run homers because they can't get anyone on base ...

I'd be surprised if they move on from Levine but it could happen , this has always been a trio ( falvey , Levine and Rocco ), falvey has given the green light on Rocco to remain , the pohlads have given falvey the green light to remain , it's now up to falvey to either dismiss Levine or retain him ... The pohlads have always shown loyalty to their employees even when necessary changes should have been taken , they wait to long for changes ... It's up to falvey to make the call for a front office change , if I was to make a change in the front office , the pohlads shoʻuld dismiss Dave St Peter , he has been a detriment to the twins ownership in my opinion ...

What about Paul Molitor , hitting coach and running the bases instructor , we need help there as well and we could kill 2 birds with 1 stone ... Oh , you answered your own question , he is a stay at home dad ...

You see the ball , you hit the ball ... Adjust your swing to make contact for singles , doubles and triples , the homeruns will come without trying ... We are not a Homerun hitting team without a slugger capable of 40 plus honers a season ... Hit the ball and make it exciting baseball again ... They better get it right this time because I'm tired of them being wrong alot ...

Fan attendance .... Attendance will continue to fall until they do a better job at promoting the team , it has been awful for many years now ... It started with twins fest being a 1 day affair and reducing the twins caravan to just the state of Minnesota , THEY HAVE LOST FANS BECAUSE OF THIS ... They don't promote the history of the team with a killebrew , Oliva, carew , puckett , Blyleven ot kaat day , if they did , grandkids could be taken to the park and given a history lesson on how these player's impacted the game and made them HOF's ... GRANDPA , WHO WAS KILLEBREW , grandpa replies to granson that Harmon killebrew was the twins most prolific homerun hitter in it's history , he hit 573 homeuns in his career and he was feared by major league pitchers , I can just see the grandsons face now , eyes wide open with excitementy on what he just absorb from grandpa , he becomes a real fan of the twins ... We need to promote and honor these players for our youth to be loyal twins fans ... THIS WILL DRAW NEW AND OLD FANS TO THE GAMES ... Best game I ever saw at met stadium as a 10 year old was a LOSS , 2 outs bottom of the ninth down by a run against Oakland , second game of a doubleheader , Harmon killebrew at bat and roð carew at second , Harmon hits a towering fly ball to left center , Joe Rudy climbs the fence and pulls back a potential homerun to win the game , great catch by rudi , but also a great effort by Harmon who gave it his all that at bat but came up short of winning the game , we split the doubleheader ...

AMEN ....

Rest in peace Pete rose , please watch over our hitters .... It's a start , assistant coach Rudy hernandez should be Gone to , all new voices needed there ... Let's just clean house , 2 pukey season in the last 3 seasons is enough reason for changes .... already posted by a member , I agree with his displeasure that the higher Pay grade wasn't going with him ... Today I was thinking to myself , WHO WAS A WORSE OWNER ???? CALVIN OR TODAYS POHLADS , not Carl or Eloise ....

My thoughts to , while reading the article , Correa has seen the twins flop twice now , 2022 and this year ... He just might opt out of his no trade clause , he's a normal human being and wants to win , just like everyone else ..

Yes thanks for the week in review reports , the past 6 weeks or so have been tough to re-live .... Now with the announcement of the return of FO and Rocco it is time for the fans to speak out ... Do not attend twinsfest ... Do not attend spring training games ... Do not attend target field games ... If you are a serious loyal ( old fart ) fan you can see my reasoning to not line the pockets of the pohlads ... Win or lose we just aren't getting any exciting competitive games with their plan of baseball .... Stop doing business with the pohlads , it reminds me of doing business with a used car salesman , YOU Constantly get SCREWED and never get KISSED ... IM BITCHING , IM DONE VENTING ...

And the fans shouldn't give a crap about the owners , if you àre a serious loyal twins fan you should boycott the stadium and not attend twins fest in the spring ... Find a stream and watch the games on TV or listen on radio , that's my plan , they get no more money from me ... I am not pleased with the owners , FO and the manager and coaches ..... I'm also not pleased with the OP 's reference to the total system failure of the decade , that total system failure in that decade was alot more exciting than the crap we are seeing today .... This regime is wasting our talent with their style of baseball , this regime is never going to bring us a world series ,( I've stated this many times since the 2019 playoffs against the Yankees ) ... The owners don't care about the fans , they continue to tell the FO to put together a team that is capable to win enough games to keep the fans interested in filling the seats ( its not how you win the game, , it's how you play the game that excites the fans , for me anyways , win or lose , a competitive game is ŵhat I want ) Then before the last game of the year they inform the fans with a slap in the face with their announcements of rocco and FO retaining their jobs , they keep quiet about informing the fans during the season about baseball matters ... they are a total system failure on how they play the game , yes they have had some success on winning the division , but as I stated above they are not motivated to win a world series .... Don't go to spring training , don't go to twins fest , don't go to the field to watch games .... I stopped venting , I'm bitching now because I want competitive baseball played the way it should be , they are not a Homerun hitting team or at least we don't have a slugger that hits 40 or more homeruns ... Did I already mention , don't do business with the pohlads, they remind me of used car salesman ...

Dreams die hard , this one hurt and disappointed , time to start a new one !!! ....

And you shouldn't feel bad in Italy , but thanks for checking in ... Have a good time ...

You forgot to mention blewett , he hasn't blown it in his small sample size , wait till next year though ...

I switched to bitching , venting was good to do but wasn't helping or being heard .... Now I'm bitching loud and clear , hold someone accountable for this season , it better not be the trainer this year like it was after 2022 season ... It's quite obvious that it's coaching and they are wasting the talent they have , Julien is an example as is Miranda collapse in the second half ( maybe injured ), Lewis , what has happened to his swing ... how do other teams beat us , they hit to other fields in situational hitting , they steal bases , they bunt , they do everything right to beat the twins because the twins players aren't trained for it .... I could go on and on , but will end with saying it is not fun baseball to watch , I almost watch the games now to see who will make the biggest blunder to blow the game , whether it coaching or players ...

ELIMMINATED .... This is our reward from the pohlads who have profited from a stadium we built for them and their business to make money this season and every season , except maybe covid .... We have been screwed and we won't get a kiss ...

The pain and misery continues ... Two homestands prior to this last homestand were not good , we are off to a bad start on this one...

The only positive so far is jeffers has thrown out some runners ...

I'm tempted to watch better ball , I'll wait until the playoffs to watch how the game is played ...

It just hasn't happened or won't happen with the coaches and manager that we have ... Sad but true ...

I just wish they would teach them something , like adjustments but doubles would be my game too ...

I wasn't expecting anything different , why break there regular routine...
