    Now the question is what happens when Polanco comes back? Do they send Wallner back down or do they pull the plug on Kepler or Gallo?
  2. LewFordLives
    "Jose Bravo"....that is an awesome name.

    Thanks (or no thanks) for the article. I do take issue with calling Mahle a "top-of-the-rotation starting pitcher". He never was. He had one decent season.
  4. LewFordLives
    Agreed. That Acuna HR was the death blow. If it was only a one run game then maybe the Twins send that runner home in the 8th on the fly to Rosario.

    Thanks for this article. The bigger question is what did they see that prompted the front office to sign him for $11 million??? This was a bizarre signing from day one. That's a lot of money for a reclamation project.

    If you click on the link for Carlos Silva it takes you to THAT Carlos Silva.

    It's only a minors deal, so I guess there's no harm, but I don't see him contributing in any way down the stretch.

    Lots of talk about Baldelli and I generally agree with all of it, but I put more blame on Falvey. He assembled this trainwreck. If this organization was able to develop pitching they wouldn't be forced into making trades. The Correa signing was ill advised. Many of us fans said so at the time and it's looking worse. Maybe he can still turn it around.

    The Golden Sombrero for Joey Gallo!!!

    In terms of bang for the buck, a short-term rental reliever would make the most impact. It's become clear they are going to be involved in a lot of close games. A decent 7th or 8th inning guy could help add a couple wins down the stretch. As the article points out, there won't be a lot of high impact bats available. Also, the Twins don't have a lot of trade chips.

    I wouldn't move on from Julien yet. Polanco is not guaranteed to be back next year. Even if Julien takes on a super-utility role like Arraez, there's value in that.
  12. LewFordLives
    Agree 100 percent on Kepler. When you have a lineup that struggles to score runs, it's hard to hide him. Decisions will have to be made. You can also add Pagan to "decision time". Although many of us would argue that decision should have been made at the end of last season.
  13. LewFordLives
    Every season will have losses like this. It's just especially frustrating because this team has let so many winnable games slip through their fingers.
  14. LewFordLives
    Good article, but let's not make him out to be more than he is. Throw out 2021 and he's been a rather mediocre pitcher. If he's willing to take a Paddack type deal, fine. Otherwise, let's move on.

    Klein: 11 K's in four innings?! Do we have any Osseo folks on this board that know anything about him? Is he legit?
  16. LewFordLives
    The Cruz-Ryan trade has worked out well for the Twins, but how much of that was luck? For the best trade I gotta go with Sonny Gray for Chase Petty. Any time you can get two years of a solid mid to top rotation starter for a #10 prospect, you do it. For worst, I'm going with Ryan Pressley. It was a dumb trade at the time and has only gotten worse with age. They threw in the towel on the season and gave up a quality arm that they still had under team control for another season. Alcala and Celestino were not top prospects.
  17. LewFordLives
    When the booing stops is when the Twins should be concerned. It means the fans have checked out and no longer care. Many of us still care, although I don't know how much more of this garbage I can take.
  18. LewFordLives
    This.
  19. LewFordLives
    Definitely time to start calling out Correa. Most players without his pedigree would have already been optioned or DFA'd by now. I have no illusions that he will ever live up to $33 million per year, but he's better than what he's given us so far. It's not fair to the fans who buy the tickets, hot dogs, jerseys, and TV packages that ultimately pay for his salary.
  20. LewFordLives
    I generally agree it should be Miranda that goes to St Paul. I always assumed Farmer was brought on board as insurance in case Correa didn't come back and/or Miranda struggled. Keeping Miranda on the bench does him no good. He needs to play every day and I think he needs to keep getting time at 3B. It's too early in his career to throw in the towel and put him at first.
  21. LewFordLives
    They need to start getting Brooks Lee some starts at 3B.

    Out of curiosity, is there one park you enjoyed over the others that you visited?
  23. LewFordLives
    At a minimum the league should have brought in Phil Cuzzi to help out the umpiring crew.
  24. LewFordLives
    Total B.S. Ober is a better pitcher than Maeda right now. This front office is losing me.
  25. LewFordLives
    Agreed on Kirilloff. I would add that he really hasn't done anything in his short career thus far to justify an automatic spot on the MLB roster. Make him force the issue. (Although with this lineup that shouldn't be difficult.)
