    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.
  4. LewFordLives
    They're a good team, but I don't understand how they won 101 games with that rotation. Reminiscent of the 2019 Twins.
  5. 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.

    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.

    That series still breaks my heart. We had em on the ropes and then it all went to hell.

    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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/09/twins-to-select-andrew-stevenson.html MLB Trade Rumors (via Do Hyoung-Park of MLB.com) are reporting Andrew Stevenson is being selected. I know he's had a great year, but this seems odd given the guys they presumably have returning to the MLB roster. Something must be up......
  17. LewFordLives
    No way should this happen. Of course, the Twins FO doesn't seem to shy away from players with questionable medicals, which is probably why he will sign a record contract with the Twins.
  18. LewFordLives
    If memory serves me, the Twins gave up a PTBNL for Boone. I don't think anyone was ever named. Do we still owe the Mariners a player, or do they owe the Twins?
  19. LewFordLives
    Julien has been a revelation, but let's not jump the gun. Once the calendar turned to August his bat cooled off. His overall K rate is also troubling. The league may be figuring him out. The question is, can he make the necessary adjustments? Remember last year when everyone was wondering how they were going to accommodate Miranda? The situation will sort itself out. There will be injuries and performance issues.

    Was listening to the game on MLB Radio with the Phillies broadcast team. The way they described it, you'd think that 3-2 pitch to Bohm was about a foot inside. I later saw the replay and laughed when I saw how close it was. Could it have justifiably been called a ball???…...sure. But it was close.
  21. LewFordLives
    Can we all finally agree that Keuchel has no business being on a major league roster?
  22. LewFordLives
    Is it just me, or does his swing remind anyone else of Joe Mauer. Quick hands....waits as long as possible. Mauer never seemed willing to change to unlock the power. That worked ok for him.
  23. LewFordLives
    Can Julien play first? That way Polanco can move back to second once Lewis is back. Joey Gallo has a had a decent career. He has achieved things that most of us can only dream about, but it is seriously in the best interest of the Twins to move on. He has become a black hole in the lineup. I mean c'mon.....
  24. LewFordLives
    I hope the Twins win again today (Saturday). Sunday is Gallen vs. Keuchel. Just sayin ...
  25. LewFordLives
    Terry Ryan didn't have nearly the payroll that Falvey has. Yet the results have been about the same. I don't have any confidence in this regime. Some of the moves have been infuriating (Berrios) and others downright baffling (Gallo). They continue to try and build a bullpen on the fly, even though history shows it just doesn't work. Every large contract has blown up in their faces.
