  1. How many years have we been calling for a righthand hitter that plays outfield , even our FO has said so but they continue to give up on trying to find that thumper that hits against righties and lefties ... McCrusher wasn't given much of a chance except to sit on the bench and get rusty and he hasn't played the same since his return to AAA ( what did falvèys professionals do to him ) , they brought up a shortstop that they didn't play either and we have kiersey Jr who plays defense and pinch runner ... Makes no sense to bring up a player just to sit them , find the right player and if the FO ( do what they do best ) go dumpster diving and hope the get lucky ... I don't have the answers why we can't hit lefties , blame it on the hitters but the FO hasn't done enough to fill that righthanded need either ... Let's get some life in this team ...
  2. Last year the twins released cavaco and Houston claimed him ... Houston has converted him into a pitcher , no idea how that has translated for him ...
  3. Trades before or at the deadline : Castro and paddack from the list OP ,, Castro has plenty of value to a contending team as utilility player , paddack has value as a starting pitcher if he stays healthy can eat some innings as a back end starter and then in the playoffs move to the bullpen .. teams look for relief pitchers to strengthen their roster at the deadline , I don't think the twins will trade coloumbe , but there is a chance of the twins getting a offer for Stewart , Sands or Duran they may find hard to turn down ... France on cheap contract will stay but could be needed as a bench player for some team ... every team values defense in centerfield so Bader has a little value at deadline ... In my opinion on expiring contract candidates to be traded would be Castro and paddack , I also see Stewart, Duran and Sands as possible trade candidates with some team control ... We'll just have to wait and see how the team plays going forward , im sure we will be sellers or should be sellers ...
  4. No idea why they aren't hitting left handers and yes we saw plenty of lefthanders on this road trip , Martinez was given the qualifying offer last off season and he accepted , so he must of had a good 2024 ... What's Milwaukee throwing at us , lefthanders ???
  5. I missed watching the game and had to look at box score ... Incredible they got 17 hits and double digit runs , all starters plus Bader got at least 1 hit , homerun barrage, some with a runner on ( thats a step in the right direction )... I don't know what got into them ( hitters ) , I've watched through some pretty lousy games and then they have this great exciting game like this that I missed ... I'll take the win
  6. Buxton is the closest we have to a homerun hitter , he bats leadoff and isn't used properly to utilize his skills , if he gets on base they don't have him steal a base ( he hasnt been thrown out stealing a base yet this year ) , he can be a run producer if he bats 3rd in the order and others get on base in front of him , the construction of the batting order is mind boggling , your best hitter should be batting 3rd ... I wish we had a Judge type player to consistently hit homeruns but if we did he would only hit solo homeruns because nobody is getting on base , it's very hard to have any confidence in our offense ...
  7. As much as would like the twins to succeed , I just don't have any confidence they will ...
  8. Yes , all pitchers suck when they pitch against the twins , the pitchers should thank the twins players when they go for there big payday in free agency ...
  9. As much as I would like the players to succeed , I just don't have any confidence they will ... And we don't have a homerun hitter that you can predict a homer is coming , sure wish we had a judge type player , but he would just hit solo homeruns because nobody gets on ... Nobody knows the trouble I've seen ...
  10. 1 hit is to quiet , even if it was a homerun ...
  11. You trying to sound like Peter , please one is enough 😂
  12. Is anyone out there waiting for the game to start ... Has anyone heard if there is a start time ...
  13. At least he didn't throw the ball into the stands like cubs Milton Bradley did ... Yes , bad mistake ...
  14. That's hall of shame for Rocco ... Or I guess it can be wall of fame for biggest loser ...
  15. Has been since the beginning of the season ... Pathetic pitiful putrid piss poor played professional game
  16. Well at least it wasn't a walk off loss ...
  17. Moneyball ... He gets on base ... France does gets on base ...
  18. I've been laughing at it since 2021 .. A Little interruption in 2023 though ...
  19. Wallner had no reason to dive for that ball ...
  20. Has are luck changed with that Bader homerun ... Keep the momentum boys , keep it going , Bader has most of the 3 run Homer's we have hit this year ...
  21. I've been beating that drum since 2029 playoffs...
