    It was a win, they did not gut the team for wishful thinking.

    What promise I just watched the Cards game, 0,0,0. If being hit-less wonders is promise the Twins are on a roll. I don't assume, but unlike so many here, I do not believe wishful, (Oh gee this guy is so good in AA or AAA ) thinking is worth a plug nickle.

    Makes sense to a degree; back before the AL had the stupid designated hitter bs, they used to do similar things but usually not when the pitcher was doing well. But some pitchers were not bad with the bat either.
  4. RpR
    Why was Jax pulled.
  5. RpR
    Why so Kepler can stand there watch a third strike; at least Jax hit the ball.
  6. RpR
    Then the Twins should have picked up another veteran today as they are not ready for the big league unless more Sano style batting style is what the Twins want.
  7. RpR
    They are supposed learn and show their stuff in the minors, not be low average batters in the big show.
  8. RpR
    Well Jax did pretty good.
  9. RpR
    But they have been here for weeks; if this is what they do next year, it will be a long, long year. Why did Astudillo get sent down and not one of them?
  10. RpR
    Too many like to trash Astudillo while ignoring Rooker and Larnach, as of now look like rookies.
  11. RpR
    I see this umpire has a very wide strike zone.
  12. RpR
    Put Gant in he had 2 home runs in 2018.
  13. RpR
    BRAVO!!!

    The Twins are bad because the relief pitchers are a curse not a relief; dumping good bats, as a huge number of people here have suggested for rookies, is not going to make the Twins better. Keeping a solid defense and offense, is vital to winning but now the Twins just dumped there one decent pitcher and many want to dump the best of the rest for Pie-in-the-Sky rookies. Remember player in A league are rookies to professional baseball and they are rookies, not prospects each time they move up a league, people here talk like they are magic men whose deficiencies in the minors will magically disappear and make the Twins a winner. Refsnyder and Garlick were doing OK because they were minor league veterans, with one exception what came after them were raw rookies and play like them.

    Buxton, Sano , Hicks the future of the Minnesota Twins, was all I heard 10 years ago, then came Rosario, Cave, Berrios, hmmm , we have beaten the Yankees once this year due to veterans added recently , those future of the Twins rookies were meh, even the best of them. One of the TV announcers said during game a last week that the Twins not having a steady team is not good for them as people , especially children come to see their favorite players; kids are not going to become attached to a team where player are here today and gone tomorrow which is what is going on right now.

    Yah sure, they can move the Twins down to the AAA league, that is what it is starting to look like.

    Better than becoming a worse team a driving spectators away for the next ten years. From 1971 to 1984 the Twins has One Million or more spectators for 2 whole years with a whopping 600 some thousand in 1974, yep, bring on the rookies and drive away the people who make the team money, Brilliant.
  18. RpR
    He hit two home runs in 2018. Maybe he can pinch hit for the rookie outfielders the Twins are using now.
  19. RpR
    Depending on how the day ends, right now 2021 looks like the Twins management is fully committed to returning to the glory years of the 1970s, when mediocre plays came and went.? They can change their name to the Minnesota Rookies , 100 losses here we come.
  20. RpR
    I wonder how long it would have taken the pitching coach to remove his head from his buttocks if he had tried to do this to Jack Morris.
  21. RpR
    Yeah , what's his name that started a game for the Twins last year?
  22. RpR
    If you want to see Sano improve, best way is to trade him,?
  23. RpR
    LOL, I remember well when all the talk to put the Twins back in the play-offs were the wunder kindt of Buxton, Hicks and Sano. It seems talk of wunder kindt never stops, it just changes names. We need veterans for at least two full years, so years like 2019 last more than one year, then the dreamers will know if their wunder kindt panned out.

    Larnach is not as good as any one who came before him, slow afoot with a weak arm -- IF, if Kirilloff and Rooker do not turn into flash in the pan rookies as Cave did, they have a good future. Willie Mays Hays Gordon is Willie Mays Hays Gordon, they can use him as Kansas City did in the past, a quick base runner when needed. I do not know what happened to Simmons batting, but watch he lets SO MANY down the pipe go by without swinging makes me think he has vision problems but without his fielding ability the Tw(ins will be in a world of hurt and NO ONE they have is even close to as good at that. The more raw rookie the replacement outfielders were, the more like raw rookies the looked like; keep Refsnyder and Garlick and get rid of Cave. (Trade him to Detroit for Grossman.? Pitching, sell , trade or dump all but Maeda, keep Pineda and shoot craps, cannot be worse than this year.

    Well, compare the 1963 Twins to the 1965 Twins. The first won 91 games with a horde of home runs, where the latter won 102 games with far fewer home runs. The Devil is in the details which are fundamentals. Without the fielding ability of Donaldson and Simmons this year, the record would be even worse.
