    I saw some earlier comments about how the Twins need more veteran hitters. Today they had only two rookies in the lineup (Julien and Lewis). Those two combined for 3 hits (including 2 hrs) and 2 walks. That was the entirety of the Twins offense. None of the veterans reached base.
  2. LewFordLives
    Especially when you consider he was throwing that change every other pitch. They were constantly out front and couldn't make the adjustments.
  3. LewFordLives
    Agreed, but that's going to be the challenge. They need to resign/replace Sonny Gray, and I don't know how how that's gonna happen. Not many options out there and maybe not as much payroll room as people think.

    The really sad thing is everything was lining up well for the Twins. We owned Texas in the regular season, and that was before they lost Scherzer.
  5. LewFordLives
    Is it just me, or does it seem like every time there's a big crowd at Target Field the Twins just don't show up
  6. LewFordLives
    His last two at bats he was trying to get walk. Just a mess at the plate, as were many of the Twins hitters

    Another pat on the head and participation trophy for the Twins.

    Rocco can't resist a chance to over manage. Going to the pen in the 3rd? The more pitchers they use, the more chance that at least one of them won't be that sharp today.
  9. LewFordLives
    They're a good team, but I don't understand how they won 101 games with that rotation. Reminiscent of the 2019 Twins.
  10. LewFordLives
    They needed a better start from Ober. He was up in the zone the entire time he was pitching. He has to utilize the entire strike zone.

    A tough task ahead, but it's the playoffs. There are no easy series left.

    I don't think Paddock has shown enough to be on the playoffs roster. He showed some encouraging signs yesterday, but he did give up three runs to a really bad lineup. Also, do the Twins want to risk him overdoing it just coming off elbow surgery? He's a part of their plans going forward. Why risk it if he hasn't proven he can be a difference maker at this point in the season.

    At this point there's really no reason to play Correa these last two weeks. Let him sit and hope his foot improves at least somewhat by October.
  14. LewFordLives
    Odd that it's Luplow and not Stevenson.
  15. LewFordLives
    I like Arraez, and I think the Twins have missed him, but it's a trade they almost had to make. I thought the comment in the article from Mr. Sussman about how the Marlins have more success developing pitching than hitting is interesting. The Twins organization is the exact opposite. If Balazovic, Woods-Richardson, Dobnak,,,etc,,, had been knocking on the door this year, or if Paddock hadn't had TJ surgery, then maybe the Twins don't have to make that trade. The trade became even more necessary when you consider both Gray and Maeda are pending free agents.

    It's interesting how many comments this generated in less than two days.

    That series still breaks my heart. We had em on the ropes and then it all went to hell.
  18. LewFordLives
    Other than Lopez and Ryan, every pitcher on that list has question marks. If the Twins have such great pitching depth, then why was Dallas Keuchel starting today? They need to replace Sonny Gray (maybe with Gray), and that won't be cheap in terms of dollars or trade capital. And I agree with some of the other posts that say it would take a lot more than Larnach to land a quality pitcher. It's gonna hurt.
  19. LewFordLives
    Can we please end the Keuchel experiment? It's been a heartwarming story, and he's had some good moments, but he shouldn't be starting for a team that's trying to make it to the post-season. Ober is the better pitcher.
  20. LewFordLives
    The Twins will need to acquire a starter in the off-season, and maybe that involves trading some of the younger guys. As of now, it would make sense for the Twins to pick up the options for both Kepler and Polanco, and that doesn't leave enough spots for all of the younger guys to get regular playing time.
  21. LewFordLives
    I'm not a member of the Rocco fan club, but I thought his decision to let Gray work out of that jam in the 6th was the turning point. Gray showed a real fighters mentality and that the Twins were gonna battle to the end no matter what.
  22. LewFordLives
    They might really win this division. Holy crap!
  23. LewFordLives
    Is something wrong with Duran? You go for the knockout punch.
  24. LewFordLives
    I concur. I understand him not wanting to burn up his bullpen, but don't they have at least one long -guy they could have run out there to get through at least a couple more innings? MLB needs to revisit this issue. Maybe allow a team to forfeit under certain circumstances. Fans don't want to watch it, and you don't want any players getting hurt for no reason.
  25. LewFordLives
    2 out of 3 ain't bad, but lots of missed chances today.
