    Two AAA teams going at it. I don't know why anyone would expect a different result.

    They play baseball for a living. About 3 hours a day, most of that time they are sitting or standing around. Try working on an assembly line for 8+ hours a day and find out if they can get that "second wind".

    It's more than a little frustrating when the two guys drawing the biggest paychecks on the team only play for about half the games each season.

    Rocco will get most of the blame for this one, and he should definitely get a big share, but there's plenty of blame to go around. The bullpen choked.... again, and the lineup decided to take another night off. Five hits is usually not going to win many games. This has been such a frustrating season.
  5. LewFordLives
    Granted, Okert has not been good and should be on the bubble, but why DFA a guy who has been on the team all season when Richards has been just as bad and has only been with the team for a month?
  6. LewFordLives
    I have no complaints about the bullpen usage. A 2-1 game you gotta go with your horses. If it wasn't for the error all would be well.
  7. LewFordLives
    An ugly loss. They left the door open and the Cardinals walked through it. Really sucks. And Atlanta coming to town.
  8. LewFordLives
    I can see him being added to the 40-man after the season ends. Presumably Kepler and Margot won't be back, which would create an opportunity for an outfielder.
  9. LewFordLives
    They really needed a starter, and with Stewart's status up in the air they also needed an impact reliever. They got neither. Prices were high. I get it. However, the front office has known they needed a starter since Sonny Gray left and have had plenty of time to figure out a solution.

    If this trade had happened in January it would have been buried in the TD forums and explained as bringing in some competition for a roster spot.
  11. LewFordLives
    Who does he replace? Festa? I'm not sure he's better than anyone they currently have in the bullpen.
  12. LewFordLives
    They really need Correa, Lewis, and Miranda back. The current lineup is not gonna scare anyone.
  13. LewFordLives
    Good article, but I wouldn't do that deal. That's actually less than what the Twins got for Polanco, and I value Julien way more than Polanco because of his affordable team control.
  14. LewFordLives
    Two Giants runs today from crappy defense.
  15. LewFordLives
    Lot of missed opportunities tonight. Very frustrating.
  16. LewFordLives
    I hate it when Rocco plays righty lefty this early in the game.
  17. LewFordLives
    Agree 100 percent. A lot of teams will be looking for help and the Twins system isn't as deep as it once was.
  18. LewFordLives
    Other than the NY series coming up, the Twins have a soft schedule going into the all star break. Hopefully they can pile up some wins and put themselves in the driver's seat for a playoff spot.

    I wrote this on another page, but to me cutting ties with Santana makes the most sense. How can you have a 38 year old who provides almost zero offense occupying what has historically been an offense-first position? And if he's not getting time at first, then he has no value to this team. Do you really want him to just DH and pinch hit? Margot can at least kind of play the outfield. (Although he should be DFAd in favor of Keirsey.) As the playoff picture stands right now, the Twins are a bubble team. If they miss the playoffs by one game will Falvey be able to look in the mirror and say he put out the best team possible on a daily basis? If they keep giving guys like Santana and Margot at-bats the answer is "no".
  20. LewFordLives
    Thanks for the updates. Hopefully Wallner is getting things going. We all know what he's capable of.
  21. LewFordLives
    I don't think this is as difficult as it needs to be. Santana is 38 and is hitting at the Mendoza line. Release him and have Miranda and Kirilloff platoon at first.
  22. LewFordLives
    This probably won't happen, but they need to release Santana so Miranda can play first when Lewis comes back. His defense has been solid, but I don't know how they can justify keeping him in the lineup. A major league first baseman having trouble staying above the Mendoza line isn't going to cut it. He's had a good career, time to start thinking about the next phase of his life.
  23. LewFordLives
    And yet the Nats guaranteed him $5 million. Boras is a frickin magician.
  24. LewFordLives
    I enjoy watching Joey Gallo strikeout for someone else.
  25. LewFordLives
    Yeah, the bullpen has some issues, but 4 hits is usually not gonna get it done. There's been too many games where the offense takes the day off.
