    Arg, Grossman, he likes Twins pitching.
  2. RpR
    As much as I like J. Schoop, I hope he does not extend his hitting streak, but then with Alcala he might just get another home run.
  3. RpR
    Yep, fill the squad with rookies, they say, let them show their goods. Twins could set the record for second most losses in baseball history.
  4. RpR
    Ah, ball five, one more chance.
  5. RpR
    Well Larnach for Gordon, hmm, why didn't have Maeda pinch hit?
  6. RpR
    IF a pinch-hitter bats for the second time in an inning, is he still a pinch-hitter?
  7. RpR
    Maybe its the curse of Robbie Grossman and Schoop.

    Last time a Grand Slam put the Twins in a world of hurt Rogers was pitching. Happ usually gives one or two good inning, why don't they use him as an emergency closer? Hell Shoemaker would be better than Robles.

    Tie game, why does that not surprise me. Now why was Coulome pulled?
  10. RpR
    He will be OK if he only walks in 3 runs.
  11. RpR
    Why did they pull Coulome?
  12. RpR
    Good for Robbie for and Cabrera.

    LOL, no it is what a drummer does after a bad joke.

    Rim Shot.

    Snapping Turtle strikes again.

    We shall see; what is left of the Bomba group -- Garver, Sano, Kepler. Gone are C.J. Cron, Cruz and Schoop; had they remained perhaps the Twins would have put up enough runs to not look like 100 losses is possible. Cron as a 1st Base alternative to Sano would have been dozens of less strike outs and better fielding.; Schoop at either 2nd Base or 1st Base, would have been far better than Arraez's lack-lustre fielding ability or Sano. Astudillo as part time catcher would have been far, far, far better than a constant Rortvedt or even Jeffers, ( his ERA this year is 3.00 ?) So now they have Donaldson and Simmons both extremely good fielders, though Simmons bat is not what it should be but still far better than any thing else the Twins have -- Polanco is not bad at second base and his bat is coming on. If they can pick up some veterans to replace those they let go, leaving the Twins playing Minor League learning camp for rookies, next year , even if the pitching is not a great improvement, will be far better than this year.

    Really -- Arraez is at best a mediocre fielder. In the past three years: Home runs: Schoop 48 -- Arraez 5 RBI Schoop 142 -- Arraez 64 Batting Av. Schoop .274 -- Arraez .322 OPS Schoop .791 -- Arraez .796 Put Outs Schoop 767 -- Arraez 149

    Bringing Jonathan Schoop Back Could Help Stabilize the Twins https://zonecoverage.com/2021/mn-twins-news/bringing-jonathan-schoop-back-could-help-stabilize-the-twins/

    Jonathan Schoop Becoming the Odd Man Out The blah, blah, blah about Arraez turned out to be the same Pie-in-the-Sky wishful thinking that this area is full of. and Adrianza is also gone.
  20. RpR
    There has been enough posts on this site about bats not backing-up pitchers better games so if they dump what is left of the Bomba squad and replace them with crap-shoot rookies, this team, EVEN, with improved pitching, will stink worse next year than this. They should try like hell to get Nelson back, and hope and pray that Rooker was not just Cave type flash in the pan. Of course they could trade Larnach to Detroit for Grossman and then trade Arraez, whose fielding is not even average quality for Schoop whose numbers this year show how stupid Minnesota was for dropping him in favor of Arraez.
  21. RpR
    I often think had the 1970s Twins not traded away Craig Nettles.
  22. RpR
    In four years he has .280 batting average 12 home runs and 58 rbi According to Baseball Reference. In three years Arraez has .322 batting average 5 home runs and 64 rbi. As Willians only played in 8 games last year, those can be considered a 3 year average. What is your point?
  23. RpR
    Maybe they could trade Arraez and Larnach for Schoop?
  24. RpR
    Maybe because his batting average is 100 points higher than Rooker or Celestino?
  25. RpR
    Maybe the Twins could trade Cave for Grossman?
