  1. Now Miranda makes a bone head move.
  2. That was a bone head move by Wallner.
  3. Zip, zip, zip three fast ball , three strikes.
  4. It is odd to see Alfred E. Neuman walking out to the pitchers mound.
  5. Yeah right people are going pay Major league prices to watch players they could have watched at Minor league prices. People do not go to Twins games to watch AAA players, the Saints are there for that.
  6. That is your opinion in an opinion forum, at the LOL.
  7. Sounds about right, as it was rookies being injured that brought up rookies to take their place. The incompetent fielding by so many rookies is why they do not bring them up sooner, a good bat does not make up for fielding snafu.
  8. Rocco just throws the bones.
  9. What analytics say Palacios' bat is better in the lineup than Cave, not even considering his glove over Gordon's at second.
  10. Palacios at second and Gordon in left ; pretty much proves Baldelli just throws the bones.
  11. 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,
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. So far, when either Hamilton has been pulled , it was pointless to embarrassing.
  19. Twins lost 2 games in this series on fielding stupidity, regardless of the blow out, they should have won 3.
  20. Hamiton, C. on my! Contreras pinch hitting, OH MY!
