    They also oved Arreaz from 2nd base to 1st base.
  2. Swing Batter-Batter
    Did you not see the interview with Falvey?
  3. Swing Batter-Batter
    Surely? Yet, he was the best option in 2023, as they could not do better. If someone emerges, great but, as of right now, I don't see that name.
  4. Swing Batter-Batter
    I agree 100%
  5. Swing Batter-Batter
    I agree completely. During the 2nd inning, I was thinking, give Ryan one more inning and then bring in Paddack to pitch 3 innings. Stewart, Jax and Duran after that.
  6. Swing Batter-Batter
    Agreed, all the way around. You can't score on a strikeout, put the ball in play, things do happen.
  7. Swing Batter-Batter
    His fault or Rocco for playing him?
  8. Swing Batter-Batter
    When the season started, and Twins management stated that Buxton would start the season at DH, I was skeptical, to say the least. By the time the season was 6 weeks old, it was becoming obvious that he was not going to play CF any time soon. At the all-star break, many people, including myself, said he would not play CF this season and maybe never again. At this point, I believe it is never again. The question is, with multiple years left on his contract, a no-trade clause and not much positive on the horizon, what do the Twins do with him?

    I can't believe the author was serious, when he said, drop two of these four........Gallo, Luplow, Farmer or Solano. Solano......are you kidding? Probably the most consistent player on the entire team all year.
  10. Swing Batter-Batter
    I was thinking the exact same thing about the Solano comment. Not too bad for a 35 year old hobbled player. I'd put Solano at 1st base the rest of the season.
  11. Swing Batter-Batter
    Especially, considering the opponent was KC.
  12. Swing Batter-Batter
    Management will be very proud of the new record they are about to establish.
  13. Swing Batter-Batter
    14 strikeouts........that is over 50%......and against Oakland on top of it. Speaking of strikeouts, has anyone ever seen another batter look as bad at the plate, as Buxton right now? The called 3rd strike was pathetic.
  14. Swing Batter-Batter
    On your last question. It sure feels that way to me.
  15. Swing Batter-Batter
    I guess we are doomed to being a .500 or less team, until Falvey is gone.
  16. Swing Batter-Batter
    Rocco does this all the time. Somebody goes 2-4 or 3-4 and they sit the next game. He's been doing it for multiple years.
  17. Swing Batter-Batter
    I agree. Not only are the Twins leading all of MLB in strikeouts, the percentage appears to be drifting up, as the season goes along. The last few series, the percentage has run between 40% and 45% of at bats ending in strikeouts. The aprroach has to change.
  18. Swing Batter-Batter
    I agree. The strikeouts that drive me nuts are the 3 called strikes. The batter never even swings. I have watched too many Twins take that approach.
  19. Swing Batter-Batter
    Oh, but they can be this incompetent. Rocco needs a new laptop and upper management won't approve the expenditure.
  20. Swing Batter-Batter
    I'm thinking that if they would actually play the same 3 guys in the outfield, even 2 or 3 games in a row, those mistakes might improve.
  21. Swing Batter-Batter
    Exactly. They are on pace to set a new MLB strikeout record and nobody even asks. How many Twins hitters start their at bat 0-2, watching the first 2 pitches go by. Buxton struck out on 3 pitches Saturday, never even took the bat off his shoulder. The team strikeout percentage against Detroit was 42.5%. Completely pathetic. Managements hitting philosophy apparently is, hit a home run or strikeout. It's not working. We need change and in a big hurry.
  22. Swing Batter-Batter
    It's not and it might even be a negative, given his performance.
  23. Swing Batter-Batter
    Agreed !! Over the winter, when the possible trade of Arraez came up, many said he had topped out, will never hit this well again, his knees are bad, he's a lousy fielder. trade him ASAP. Well, they were all wrong on all counts. Wish we still had him on the team..
  24. Swing Batter-Batter
    Batting Garlick period, is absurd.
  25. Swing Batter-Batter
    I agree on Gallo. Kepler was doing well before the injury. Give him a few more games.
