  1. this team... just plain and simple ....can not hit ... starting pitching really isnt all that bad..but oh boy those relievers. Sad what has happened to Lewis, Jeffers, Miranda, Larnach and Wallner ..not a clutch player on this team at all..Julien still just flails away or lets strike 3 go by..and Lee just seems lost now. Castro has peaked also...OMG where did it all go ????
  2. IMO ..Kiersey will be a better replacement for Kepler next year..if they give him a chance.
  3. played SS myself for many years ..i know the drill... i think i'd still shy towards the 3rd base side whenever Duran is pitching ..that was a routing hopper
  4. why was Castro paying so far up the middle on those game winning RBI's. youve got a flame throwing Pitcherin Duran..and you think he's gonna pull something to the left side?? Castro should have been playing straight up position. i know he was trying to keep runner close to second..but he should have shifted back to his right when Duran started his motion to the plate. weak chopper got through that should have been out # 3. BUT...more so, Julien cost us this one..and the lack of hitting
  5. these base running blunders are happening way too often..guys getting thrown out at 2nd trying to stretch a single.....getting picked off....running on contact from 3rd and thrown out by a mile.... potential big innings are being wasted by little league mistakes
  6. kid doesnt deserve this bashing..only gave up 5 hits ..only got 3 runs for support... this team cannot expect the pitchers on this staff to go out there and only give up 2-3 runs a game. These guys gotta hit and score more ... they lost Sundays game after being up 4-0 most of the game ...couldnt add on and it cost them...and of course Alcala imploding ...whish was bound to happen sooner or later... he cant be trusted
  7. inexcusable to give up that double on a 0-2 count... insane how so many major league pitchers give up hard hit balls when ahead 0-2 in the count
  8. not Alcala related ..but, is anyone else frustrated/annoyed by the run on contact when we have runners at 3rd base. numerous times this year the runner is pegged out easily at home when the ball is hit to a drawn in infielder.. i know there would be an easy out at first..but , id still rather have the guy on 3rd base
  9. again ..as i've said before..Twins pitchers live in the middle of the plate too often.. dont seem to get a lot of swing and misses with chase pitches..so their pitches must be easy to pick up ..Our hitters swing often at pitches in the dirt or way outside ..or just watch perfect pitches down the middle go by like Julien and Wallner. I dont have any trust in Alcala..never have..or any reliever for that matter besides Duran
  10. still say bull...... pitch is supposed to be called as it crosses the plate..not where it hits catchers mit..
  11. Correa will be back soon .. Martin will be sent down.. Roster set then unless injuries... tough lineup decisions will have to be made...Castro will Prob be at 2nd, Larnach LF, Correa SS, Lewis 3B, Buxton CF, Santana 1B, Kepler Rf, Miranda DH, Jeffers C. Bench - Lee, Wallner, Margot, there will be Sept callups ..but no one that really helps..maybe Kiersey for speed on the pads.
  12. in last 15 games he is still K-ing .. 19 times in 44 ab'S... YES,the avg is very good ..but we already have enough KKings inthe lineup ..we needs guys King under 20%..then we'll have a ball team
  13. if we get Correa back..Lewis clickin ..and Miranda ..this Offense if fine.. it's the woeful Bullpen that is the problem.. only one i trust is Duran..and even he has been strugglin a bit. Jax, Thielbar, Alcala, Staumant, Okert etc can never be trusted
  14. agreed ...NO to all of these potential trade targets
  15. i see Dobnak in Twins future plans.. best plans would be a trade to a team that needs a # 5 starter due to injuries.. i just dont think he'd bring anything promising in return
  16. Just get Correa, Lewis and Miranda back..offense will start clickin again.. be great if we can get Lefty starter and lefty reliever..but dont sell the Farm
  17. nope on wallner..just K's too much . he's your typical AAAA player.. success against AAA pitching ..but just cant get it done in the bigs. Getting Correa, Lewis and Miranda back..+ Stewart in the Pen will be huge..and I do See Lopez dominating in the 2nd half....
  18. the way this pitching staff resides in the middle of the plate..i fear this series is gonna be a slaughter by Phils.. Schwarber will probably jack at least 2, Harper 3, Castelanos 3, + others.
  19. no excuse in the world for Jax to give up an 0-2 HR..never ever ever ever
  20. no to Varland..his time has passed...having trouble getting AAA batters out
  21. Aaron Judge only has a 1.103 are you sure??? All i care about is Avg, RBI and K ratio, OBP ..i dont even look/consider all those analytic stats
  22. Wallner ? really ??? he's K'd 27 times in 47 AB and is hitting .213.. ..he'd have to do a complete turnaround to ever change my opinion
