    Rocco just throws the bones.

    What analytics say Palacios' bat is better in the lineup than Cave, not even considering his glove over Gordon's at second.
  3. RpR
    Twins problems, hmm, unless Baldelli has decided the season is over and it makes no difference who he puts on the field, in tonight game, Sept.21, he is putting Palacios at second and Gordon in left field. Palacios is NOT a good Second baseman and Gordon is not a good out fielder; Gordon is pretty competent, (except when the ghost of Willie Mays Hays over comes him) at second base and at his worst still better than Palacios. Cave is a good Left Fielder, and better bat than Palacios; the teams Baldelli fields at time make no sense or he is so addicted to analytics, he ignores reality,

    22 errors in 3 years in the Minors; put him in Triple A next year so he can learn BASIC BASEBALL SKILLS, some thing many here say the Twins rookies are lacking. We lost two games to Cleveland due to fielding errors, we do not need bats as much as fielders who are not incompetent.

    If Jake Cave can get his batting average up to .250 he will be on the 40 man next year, he is the best left fielder they have; his perfect relay to Correa and then Correa to home is what the twins need, not bouncing throws. IF,, a big IF, Wallner can improve his fielding he may be around a long time, he has a cannon arm. The pitchers have figured out Miranda and now he is in a race to catch Urshela for most hits into a double play.; if he can improve his still shaky fielding skills, he will be around for awhile, at DH if nothing else. Celestino is turning into another Willie May Hays Gordon but Gordon has a good bat. If they lose Correa they will have a big hole at SS, and lose games because of it; they have had two of the best fielding SS for two years and there is nothing to replace that skill set.

    Jake Cave in his first year up with fewer at bats was the same wonder boy type player Miranda is; next year wil determine Miranda's future, regardless of how good this year went. Celestino is in a shallow but continual decline with the bat, but does seem to have improved his fielding skills.
  7. RpR
    None of those players are a shoo-in next year (Wallner will be in AAA until he learns how field a ball) Nothing is written in stone for next year except maybe Buxton, Polanco and Kepler; hopefully Correa comes and and ditto for Urshela. Twins fielding with the rookies is a Chinese Fire Drill too often. Any Twin , and I mean any, from this team that want to give the Twins a try will be in Spring Training; the only flier here is if the fron office brings in some veterans as they did in 2019.

    The team went through that in the seventies, Twins fans do not want to see that again and Pohlad's know that will bring the same level attendance the seventies had; it went from a million and quater down to three-quarter of a million. As they are in it for the money, it will not happen.
  9. RpR
    That, just as much, or to me, even more than poor pitching is the problem that MUST be addressed or they are going to be the same incompetent team they are now, next year.
  10. RpR
    Twins lost 2 games in this series on fielding stupidity, regardless of the blow out, they should have won 3.
  11. RpR
    The Twins lost due to poor fielding by the SS, that Palacios was at SS in a very important game says a lot about whey the Twins have fallen. Rodriguez did a good job pitching and now he is gone, that, says a lot also.
  12. RpR
    Next spring/early summer will determine Larnach's future, nothing this year matters.
  13. RpR
    Jeffers also struck out with the bases loaded in the Ninth, no outs.
  14. RpR
    I watched the end of that game on MilB's version of Gamecast; bases loaded , all he had to do was hit a fly ball or a grounder any where to right and game over but it was zip, zip, zip.
  15. RpR
    For what it is worth Jeffers hit a three run home run a bit back to tie the game at 5-5 against LOU.
  16. RpR
    22 errors in 3 Minor League years; the much loathed B. Hamilton has 10 errors in ten Major League years. Twins cannot afford to ply drop-catch-drop-catch-drop-catch.... Jake Cave seems to be in a slump again but he is good with a glove and has a strong arm.
  17. RpR
    B. Hamilton is a VERY good outfielder and the last time he held a bat, came very close to a dinger.
  18. RpR
    OF course they have a chance, will they, depends on bats coming alive as much as pitching as last few games showed.
  19. RpR
    Maybe the Twins coaching staff is the problem?
  20. RpR
    He is not ready for prime time while the Twins cannot afford to baby sit him while they still have a chance.
  21. RpR
    Getting hammered based on what? He gave up 4 hits, 2 Ks and no walks, for 2 runs. If that is hammerd then the bar is very, very low.
  22. RpR
    It will depend on what function as a player the Twins see most valuable whether hitting, fielding, speed afoot etc. Twins will look at all the options next spring, veterans and rookies, and who starts the season in the Majors will have the most of what the Twins want.
  23. RpR
    The fans benefit the most.
  24. RpR
    How many of Twins past pitchers quit because they blew their arm out, there were dozens of pitchers so name some.
  25. RpR
    n 8 Minors years, Kepler had 15 errors; in 3 minors years Wallner has 22. Just what is needed a fielder who has trouble getting the ball out of the outfield.
