  1. I doubt it. Probably lose 2/3 vs. Brewers, puts them 5 games under.
  2. Rushing is hitting .328. Don't think they would start Jeffers, either. If their utility fielder is not as good as Gray, that might be accurate? But does that really matter? Are they trading for Gray? No, why bother. I simply don't remember a situation in MLB where one team beats the other in 25 or 26 or their respective roster spots. By a LOT. That is sickening.
  3. I was looking at the Dodgers roster this year and comparing it to the Twins. There are exactly ZERO Twins who would make the Dodgers roster at this point in time. Pages is playing CF at a 2.6 War clip this year so no to Buxton. Joe Ryan---maaayyybbeee if he were healthy. Otherwise none. How crazy is that? Just think about that. Their entire roster is better than the Twins entire roster. Parity? What a joke.
  4. Twins continue on a ~.400 pace, as expected. They simply are not very good. Boy, this new CBA better make some real changes to competitiveness. Twins have no hope vs. the Dodgers, Yankees, etc. Simply don't have the horses.
  5. Don't the Twins have a position player that wants to try? These guys we are putting out there are not worth a darn.....
  6. Bullet. Dodged. Very happy for him. Very happy for the Twins. Still think he needs to be either extended or traded.
  7. Many of us, including me, advocating finishing the tear down and accelerate the re-build by dealing Ryan and Jeffers and possibly Lopez this off-season. Tragically, we were right. The Twins tried to straddle by trading some pieces and retaining others and it now has killed their chances for a solid rebuild. Back to square one. Hope the new CBA can make smaller market teams relevant again in this wonderful sport. Otherwise, might as well adopt a second team that actually gets to play in October....
  8. If the Twins bullpen blows this game, too, the 14 fans in attendance might try and burn the place down.....
  9. I hope and pray Tom Pohlad is in attendance at this game. I also hope he throws up, because that is what all the real fans want to do watching this debacle of a team. Feel sorry for Preilipp, and also feel sorry for Shelton having to manage this pile of ****. Sell the damn team and begin a total rebuild. Rather watch young players lose than 39 year olds.
  10. Let me see if I have this straight. The Mets are the worst team in Baseball so far in 2026. The Twins are putting a 39 year old relief pitcher out there in a 1 run game that the METS dumped. Color me shocked that he is getting shelled.
  11. I think it is fair to criticize Tom Pohlad for declaring that the team is competitive. Either he is lying, or he is ignorant. Neither is a good quality for an ownership head.
  12. They are who we thought they were. Nothing more, nothing less. Give it a couple more weeks to simmer, then start the rebuild aggressively.
  13. I would send Wallner down to AAA, outright Outman, Banda, trade Ryan, Jeffers and everyone else they have no real intention to re-sign and start the rebuild.
  14. Let this play out to its inevitable conclusion for the next 3-5 weeks. When they are 15 games under .500, start the rest of the rebuild by trading anyone and everything older than 25 and bring up the youngsters and let them sink or swim. I guarantee you Twins' fans--the few that are not completely alienated by this ownership family--would rather watch ERod, Gonzo, Jenkins, etc. lose games than this current collection of misfit toys.
  15. Continue to bang the drum to bring up all the youngsters and let them learn to play at the MLB level....or not. But then we know. Playing this bunch of never-have-beens, never-will-be's is a waste of time for everyone. Tore down the bullpen last trade deadline, tear the rest down now and get on with the rebuild.
  16. I wanted the youth movement from the get-go. Can't come soon enough. Move all the tradeable vets and let the youngsters come up and sink or swim.
  17. Yikes. Keaschall stung that to the wrong place. I disagree with 1st pitch swinging in 2 consecutive at bats when the pitcher has walked the bases loaded with no outs.
  18. If you are fans of Ted Lasso, think of the press conference scene where the assistant coach is explaining the reasons behind the bad behavior of their fullback after interaction with fans. Spot on.
  19. This is what a playoff caliber lineup looks like, Mr. Tom Pohlad, in case you were wondering.....
  20. Man, I would not bet any amount of money the Twins would beat Skubal and Valdez on 4.5/1 odds. That is ridiculously low. I mean, assuming for a minute the teams were equally matched, you should get about 3/1 odds of beating any team twice in a row, much less that caliber of pitchers.
  21. I wonder what odds you could have received for a parley of the Twins beating Skubal and Valdez back to back, much less sweeping a 4 game series?
  22. So happy for Lee. What a GIGANTIC monkey off his back. Maybe this lets him relax a bit and get going.
