    One thing going for the Twins organization is that the Pohlad's are generally loyal and will give you a long leash (for better or worse). Does Falvey's uncertain future change that equation? Maybe, but not necessarily.
  2. LewFordLives
    Yeah, I don't see them spending anything this winter. If the trade deadline fire sale told us anything, it's that they are trimming payroll and they may not be done. They sure as hell aren't spending $15 million on a veteran first baseman for a team that's rebuilding.
  3. LewFordLives
    I get that people are upset with the Pohlads and Falvey (I am too), but I don't understand those who say we should boycott the team and not attend games. How does that help anything? Baseball is supposed to be fun. It will be a young team in transition next year. Embrace it for what it is. Win Twins!
  4. LewFordLives
    I get it. The Twins are not a major market and can't keep spending like they have the last few years. Therefore, they need to make smarter personnel and development decisions. Do I believe Falvey is the right person to be making those decisions?; NO!

    He's already had a stroke. As much as we all want to see him back in the dugout, you can never go home. Or as Rick Pitino would say, Tom Kelly is not walking through that door.
  6. LewFordLives
    You can't please everyone. But yeah, one would think that's a prerequisite.
  7. LewFordLives
    Not gonna happen, but they need someone like Doug Mientkiewicz to light a fire under these guys.
  8. LewFordLives
    Was thinking the exact same thing. Interesting though...I have relatives who are Pirates fans and their complaints about Shelton were similar to complaints about Rocco.....poor feel for the game....head scratching game decisions.... etc..

    Stewart had surgery and will miss the rest of the season, and yet I still think the Twins got the worst of that trade.

    Next season begins tomorrow.

    Nice throw by Outman......not

    I believe the current situation is more like the early 80s than the 90s. There is talent on this roster. They just need experience and time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
  13. LewFordLives
    In addition to stealing bases, the organization needs to come up with a plan to teach these guys how to bunt. They are not going to score a ton of runs and will be in a lot of close games. One run in a handful of games can make the difference in squeaking into the playoffs.
  14. LewFordLives
    If it's any consolation, if they had all the guys back that they traded at the deadline it probably would've only added a couple more wins. I'm not a fan of this front office or manager, but all is not lost. If Joe Ryan and Pablo are back next year it forms the nucleus of a serviceable rotation. There are young bats on the roster and on the way. Some will sink and hopefully a few will swim. Granted, the bullpen is a mess. Pulling a bullpen together with castoffs and rookies can sometimes work. They found guys like Coulombe and Stewart for cheap.
  15. LewFordLives
    They are not spending a dime this off-season. I expect there will be further cuts.
  16. LewFordLives
    I really don't see the point in ramping up Pablo to make a couple meaningless starts. If the goal is to move his contract, wouldn't it be better to come back 100 percent next season and then maybe trade him at the deadline? I don't think a couple late September starts are going to have much influence on another teams decision about whether to pursue him.

    Abel had no idea where the ball was going once it left his hand.
  18. LewFordLives
    Is Hardee's still in existence? I am firmly in the Arby's faction.
  19. LewFordLives
    Even by Twins standards that was an ugly game.
  20. LewFordLives
    Is TBD starting again?
  21. LewFordLives
    He's a hard guy to evaluate. Very inconsistent in both the minors and majors. I know injuries play a part in that, but that doesn't explain all of it.
  22. LewFordLives
    I disagree. Booing shows that people still care. The players need to hear it.
  23. LewFordLives
    Not sure I can answer that....
  24. LewFordLives
    I've lived through some dark periods of Twins in baseball, but this past year has been unwatchable.
  25. LewFordLives
    Why am I watching this? Has my self esteem dropped this low?
