This team sure knows how to follow up a couple decent games...with an absolute P.O.S. special! Ugh!!!

No doubt this was a major surprise. I never was much of a SWR fan, but maybe he should at least been given more of a chance in the pen. This "regime", and whomever is really calling the shots, definitely makes moves light years faster than the Falvey bunch.

I wish I knew the answer. I don't know if I'm ready to give up on him just yet, but I'm leaning that way more than I want to bring him back up here and put him back at 3rd. I'm just not crazy about his attitude and what he's been quoted on in the media. That's a bad sign. If he's traded, I'd bet he cuts open a vein and just dumps on his time here. He definitely has been through a lot with the injuries and the two knee surgeries. I kind of like the 1st base idea, but he was so opposed to moving to 2nd a couple years ago, that he might pull the same stuff about moving to 1st. He's got talent, I don't think there's any doubt about that. Yeah, he's doing well at StP, but let's see how it plays out for a few weeks and see if he comes back to Earth. He was doing absolutely nothing this season with the Twins. If the Twins turn out to be sellers later this summer, I'd shop him and see what happens.

I can't recall the name of the guy who was manager the last 7 years🤪, but Shelty is much better than that guy!

The talent level isn't the greatest, but we're making lemonade out of lemons. The manager is a HUGE upgrade, and that can't be disregarded.

Very nice comeback win. Great to see. Never thought they'd do it after that 1st inning. The defense is just horrendous though.

He needs to work on more than just his hitting and fielding...he needs a bit of an attitude adjustment too. I'm just fine with him spending plenty of time in StP. His quotes in the strib: “I think my talent speaks for itself, and I see it every day, honestly. It’s in the work that unfortunately you guys don’t get to see, so you think I suck, and whatever. That’s fine. You can judge me by [stats]. It’s real. It hasn’t happened yet. I hit balls hard that got caught. That’s all part of baseball. Royce Lewis (via Star Tribune) “The Twins wanted to go in a different direction to find some things,” Lewis said. “I fully listened and bought in. I’ve tried five different stances or styles. I’d love for people to watch how many times I’ve tried to change. It’s so hard. “People can say, ‘Oh, he didn’t try to change anything last year.’ OK, well, I tried stuff now, and it’s the same results. It’s hard no matter what you do, and even when you’re feeling at your best.” Royce Lewis (via Star Tribune) Then, with Doogie: Lewis: “[The demotion conversation] was relatively quick. [Shelton] said, ‘We’re going to option you. Do you have anything to say?’ And I was like, ‘Uh, there are no words’. Obviously, you’re upset. Anyone’s gonna be upset when they get demoted in their job. That’s life. You just gotta keep working hard and figure it out.” Wolfson: “Do you understand why they made the move they did?” Lewis: “I don’t think it’s my job to understand. I think it’s my job to work hard and enjoy the process.”

Let's face it...they're going nowhere. Not even close. It sure is nice to have a manager that has a clue though.

WOW! Went to see a wrestling match...and a baseball game broke out!

What???

This REALLY hurts.

The move with Lewis HAD to happen. He was doing zippo. Hopefully, he can get back on track in StP. Absolutely LOVE that they dumped Topa! My grandma could pitch better than he did...and she passed away in 1973. GET THOSE KIDS UP HERE!

Topa has to go!

Bout time! He was starting to make Lewis look good.

Another disappointing start by SWR.
