    strikeouts ..strikeouts ..strikeouts.....did i mention the nauseating consistent strikeouts??
  2. MinnInPa
    you just pitch around him ..YES..its that simple. pitchers have made horrible pitchers to this hitter..you do not let that guy beat you..you dont even throw strikes ..every pitch should be off the plate
  3. MinnInPa
    they strike out way too much ..period.. put the ball in play..seeing eye singles..bloop hits..errors..put the darn ball in play and dont K !!
  4. MinnInPa
    Lopez and Gray will keep us in games....but this enemic K prone offense will be our doom....I'm hoping we do NOT see Buxton, Wallner or Larnach in the lineup often( i d rather see Solano, Farmer, Stevensen come up in a pressure situation than these 3)..and please please please...maybe consider moving a guy into scoring position with a bunt ..instead of seeing the never ending double play ball by Correa and company.. so many innings of single, single...K, double play..) 0 runs.. so exhausting watching these double digit K games
  5. MinnInPa
    so..framing..always been disgusted with the data..why? because the umpire is supposed to read the pitch as it crosses the plate..not when it hits the catchers glove...thus , framing should never come into analysis...IF , Umpires are doing their jobs correctly
  6. MinnInPa
    he may be # 3..but he will get rocked in playoffs against good hitting teams. he relies on a very avg fastball w no movement...and is too bullheaded to realize he doesn't have swing and miss stuff
  7. MinnInPa
    there is no reason whatsoever for Jax to throw that meatball pitch . totally inexcusable. right down the pike to a power hitter...that pitch should have been a slider outside..in the dirt..fastball off the plate ..anything but right down the middle. the guy has 10 losses as a reliever !! how is he still in the majors ??? i trust no one in this pen at all.
  8. MinnInPa
    Larnach and Wallner K too much to really be impactful on making this team a consistent playoff contender. Organization needs to start developing talent that puts the bat on the ball.. Lee, Kiersey will be more helpful than these two in the future ..to go with Lewis , Julien, Kirilloff,
  9. MinnInPa
    yes..Stevenson..why is there no talk about this guy ??? just think if he would be up all year instead of Gallo ??? I would rather have him playing in Sept than Buxton
  10. MinnInPa
    Yes..finally someone else mentioning Stevensen. why is he never talked about???? the kid can hit ....doesnt K like the others K Kings (Garlick, Larnach, Gallo, etc etc etc) this kid should have been called up months ago to replace Gallo
  11. MinnInPa
    Twins just dont have any bullpen guys to trust...and none of these AAA pitches they trot up here have the stuff to be relievers..Winder, no, Headrick, No, Sands, No, Balaz ??? , the guy id give a chance is Funderburk. current Pen is so scary ..every one of them cant be trusted.. even Duran is getting hit hard.. no lead is ever safe
  12. MinnInPa
    i just dont get it...why never any mention of Stevensen.?? i'd say Stevensen, Prato or Funderburk could help ..all others need not apply
  13. MinnInPa
    constant double digit K's is nauseating..especially called strike 3's..and Correa and Buxton..our supposed All star caliber players are mediocre at best. Such a shame because our starting pitching has been better than i can remember in a long time.. But we cannot rely on the bullpen .. Pagan, Jax, Theilber are scary when they enter a game..please never bring back Richardson..and what happened to Lopez..lights out at Baltimore..comes to Minny and is a dud??
  14. MinnInPa
    have to disagree ..i'd take a bunch of hitters hitting .250 plus and K-ing less than 20% of the time over our current guys hitting .225 and less and K-ing over 30% of the time. put the ball in play boys. todays game is sooooooo boring with all the K's. i've always been a fan of the high average guys .290 and better that drive in Runs and K less
  15. MinnInPa
    you beat me to it !! these 3 look like hitters...when we lost Arraez we lost our only true hitter..one that doesnt K at an unacceptable 30 % plus rate. it sickens me to watch these guys flail away at the plate..or take strike 3 looking
  16. MinnInPa
    nope sorry to be a downer .. but, core impact players need to be hitting closer to .300..knocking in more runs and not K'ing as much... Lopez and Duran ..maybe. right now this Twins team does not have the hitting to compete for a world Series
  17. MinnInPa
    this team is so nauseating to watch flailing away at the plate... K Kings again with double digit K's nightly. Hopefully the future brings guys that can put the bat on the ball
  18. MinnInPa
    sorry..cant get too excited about a player that only hits .250 in A ball...get back to us in 4 years or so and see how he progresses.. he may or may not pan out... may be a useful average MLBer.. we need All Star caliber players...time will tell if he is that
  19. MinnInPa
  20. MinnInPa
    agreed ..1st ballot... if they just elected Scott Rolen in ..Joe Mauer is a shoe in
  21. MinnInPa
    i hope you're right..but superstars dont hit .270 in low Ball.. they tear it up at each level
  22. MinnInPa
    all the attention to a guy thats only hitting .272 at A Ball (Rodriquez)??? Get back to us when you see a true star....power and average. we need All Star caliber player(s) hitting close to .300..and not K-ing over 25% of the time..we need more Arraez..he is the # 1 asset on the team right now.
  23. MinnInPa
    looks like candidate to replace Polanco in a couple years....pair him w Brooks Lee..whom i see on a very fast track to Majors.. Miranda, Julien, Lee, Lewis, Wallner, etc ..hopefully these youngsters can come up quick and hit for some power, Avg, and not K over 25% of the time
  24. MinnInPa
    awesome ..thanks... i knew they were pretty pathetic...last night..leadoff man on 2nd .....next guy up - K.. couldnt even move him over..seems like its been this way all year
  25. MinnInPa
    injuries were biggest factor..But, i believe Twins brass and all of us over rate the hitting of the Twins. Kepler , Polanco, Buxton, Jeffers, Sanchez,....you are just not going to win with sub .225 hitters making up most of your lineup. Arraez is special...Correa hasnt had a great year... Miranda, Gordon and Urshela were pleasant surprises. I'd luv to see a stat showing what twins batting avg is with runner in scoring position and no outs.. very sad batting with RISP.
