    There is no universe where Ed Julien is a better fielder than Royce Lewis.

    This. There has been a lot of discussion about the whole left / right platoon debate. The real problem is that too many of our hitters have been bad no matter which box they stand in. Farmer has damn near been hung in effigy while the person who was getting 75% of the at bats was nearly as bad. The Twins just need more good hitters - period.

    Plus he’s probably worth $5 million a year so what we really are eating is DeSclafani like money. Makes no sense to get rid of him now.
  4. Linus
    I will give the guy credit for being durable. We are going on a year and a half of using two catchers which is unheard of.
  5. Linus
    Yea there is zero pressure on Vasquez. I can give you $10 million reasons.
  6. Linus
    Didn’t realize you are a moderator now.

    I think we are worried about the wrong players. I get the frustration with Farmer and Margot but they are a minor problem in that they are getting relatively few at bats. Look to the lefty’s that are supposed to be doing damage but aren’t. They are the ones getting the majority of the chances.

    And those are all good reasons to temper expectations.
  9. Linus
    Thanks for the look back. I too remembered him as being better.

    The Twins just don’t get enough offense out of the corner outfielders and first base. Those are three spots where you have some bats.
  11. Linus
    Yea but they will hire someone who will do the same thing. I’m not a Rocco fan or hater. He is doing exactly what Falvine wants.
  12. Linus
    Interesting. I stand corrected.

    Package deal. One goes all go.

    SWR with another well pitched game. The feast or famine offense is starving right now. This is not a recent phenomenon. I honestly think this roster is going to need to be blown up if things are going to change positively enough to win playoff games. And that really can’t happen until the off season.

    And what is the umpire scorecard based on? Certainly not the box mlb uses to grade the umpires. So I don’t think the data is reliable enough to make set conclusions.
  16. Linus
    Fun idea. Have a great time with your guys.
  17. Linus
    I don’t know. This thought has crossed my mind with some of the blind defense of the Twins offered up here.
  18. Linus
    It’s not complicated. The Twins thought they were going to end up with the same deal as the Padres and Diamondbacks which was going to be less money but no blackouts. This was the info given to Provus. Then Amazon bails out Ballys so Ballys put more money on the table but with the usual blackout rules. The Twins of course took the money and had to backpedal on the blackout info.

    Good to see only one walk for Festa.
  20. Linus
    I don’t think a trade at the deadline will do any good. This lineup needs a major shakeup. We are going on multiple years of boom or bust performance scoring runs. One guy ain’t changing that.
  21. Linus
    Random meaningless thoughts. A Twins hitting coach getting tossed because he thought the ump was bad at his job is deliciously ironic. I don’t care how many career strikeouts Joe Ryan has. There is more to pitching than striking guys out like not giving up home runs Blaming umpires after every loss is tiresome and pathetic.
  22. Linus
    The other problem the Twins have is their streakiness. They are going to need to win 90+ games. That can be done but not if you lose multiple games in a row with regularity. I fear their offense just isn’t good enough to avoid those bad streaks. Kind of like right now.
  23. Linus
    Not sure any Twin has performed at that level. Jeffers for a while but that’s about it.
  24. Linus
    The math gets to be a problem. If Cleveland plays 500 the rest of the season they are a 91 win team. That’s a high bar for the Twins.
  25. Linus
    I don’t see much happening either. They aren’t going to add payroll so that really restricts what they can do. If you are contending I don’t think you can trade Kepler because we have nobody to take his place. They could really use a big bat but don’t really see a path forward for this type of trade.
