    Fun idea. Have a great time with your guys.
  2. Linus
    I don’t know. This thought has crossed my mind with some of the blind defense of the Twins offered up here.
  3. 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.

    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.
  6. 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.

    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.
  8. Linus
    Not sure any Twin has performed at that level. Jeffers for a while but that’s about it.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

    Yea I had the misfortune to listen to a game on the radio. The guy never shuts up. He is really bad.

    The only thing I will say in the Twins defense is NY has had some real duck farts fall for hits in both games early. Of course some rockets as well. Their hitters sure look different than ours with two strikes on them. We continue to struggle in the field - it would be nice for our fielders to help a pitcher out once in a while instead of giving extra bases and outs to the Yanks
  13. Linus
    The Yankee at bats look much more competitive than our at bats. If the Twins are going to beat this lineup they can’t butcher plays in the field like Farmer and Margot in the first inning.
  14. Linus
    People are way overthinking this thing. The Twins made a complete mess of the TV situation. It’s literally their job to make this stuff work. It’s called customer engagement. It’s not my job to switch providers multiple times and pay exorbitant prices for that pleasure. It’s their job to bring the product to the customer. Anybody that says anything different is a shill for the Pohlads.
  15. Linus
    They’ve really been as advertised. Starting pitching has been pretty good but not as good as last year. Bullpen a little better and offense streaky. Adds up to a 88-90 win team. Our perspective is different because the Central isn’t a patsy this year. Royce and an easier schedule should make things a little better.
  16. Linus
    Because that’s not enough. Schobel is a marginal prospect and there are a lot of questions about Raya.
  17. Linus
    Absolutely the correct decision. Both for the Twins near term and Eddys long term.
  18. Linus
    Would definitely be interested but would not include Lee Em Rod or Jenkins. Would include Julien if they are interested and would also throw in one of Varland Festa or Raya.
  19. Linus
    It’s happening…….
  20. Linus
    So who televised the game? Came in to catch the last half the of the game only to discover the $120 per month I pay Direct Stream didn’t include this game. Unreal.
  21. Linus
    I remember him as a light hitting glove first guy that was a magician at turning the double play. He would receive the feed and the ball was on the way to first before you could blink an eye.
  22. Linus
    Want to know how valuable he has been this year? Imagine what we would be rolling out there if he wasn’t on the squad. He’s gonna get a nice bump in arbitration but if the Pohlads can’t pony up for that then just sell the damn team.
  23. Linus
    Actually the strong side of the platoons have stunk. Larnach is showing signs of life but Julien Kiriloff and Wallner have stunk and they get 75% of the at bats so the problem isn’t limited to Farmer Margot and Santana.
  24. Linus
    Julien or Kiriloff. And it’s not punishment like some people think. Both might be part of our future but both need to hit. I’m not sure letting their confidence get obliterated in the big leagues is helpful right now. One aspect of the platoon discussion is that it isn’t only the short side platoon players that have disappointed. Julien and Wallner have been really bad and Larnach only recently reviving himself.
  25. Linus
    This is my concern as well. I fear the Twins will move Keaschal around in the name of positional flexibility and he won’t get good anywhere. As we’ve seen with other players if you don’t end up being a good fielder and start sliding down the defensive spectrum it raises the bar for how well you have to hit. Plus you can only roster so many 1st base / DH types.
