    What if he goes to the Field of Dreams and convinces Killebrew and Puckett to come out of the cornfield and play for us? ?
  2. rwilfong86
    Looks like he could have a promising future as the Twins starting left fielder, would like to see him lower that strikeout % and get more hits with RISP.

    As bad as this week has gone, they've still got a 4.5 game lead over Cleveland right now and 5 over the White Sox. It's pretty bad when you have a 3-7 stretch and haven't really lost any ground in the division.
  4. rwilfong86
    Top of the order (2,3,4) I can understand, but leadoff? That's entirely different. Especially when Buxton and Arraez are both options. And even Larnach would be a better option IMO. I knew it was gonna be a disaster before the game even started.

    His unwillingness to adjust is super frustrating.

    Yep, Jim Kaat specifically mentioned that yesterday, it messes with guys when they don't know if or where they will be playing or hitting in the lineup. Rocco needs to set a lineup and stick with it because his incompetence is killing this team again.
  8. rwilfong86
    Alright Rocco defenders, how do you justify a lineup where Garlick is hitting leadoff? Wait. You can't. The guy is clueless.
  9. rwilfong86
    Arraez no doubt. Vamos regadera!
  10. rwilfong86
    No but you can be active in making calls.
  11. rwilfong86
    I think he may be the real deal.
  12. rwilfong86
    I tried to tell someone this on another page and they weren't comprehending that you can't wait until the wheels fall off to make moves.
  13. rwilfong86
    Even with a soon, the Twins may still be in first place because the rest of the division doesn't seem to wanna win gain any ground. And with TA out for the White Sox definitely impacts their chances.
  14. rwilfong86
    Agreed, Miranda needs to just hold onto that ball and not try to get too cute. As far as Correa and Buxton, Rocco strikes again.
  15. rwilfong86
    Blunderfest today, on the bases and in the field.
  16. rwilfong86
    Hopefully Sonny is okay, pitched a gem yesterday and was hoping he could have went another inning at least to rest the bullpen.
  17. rwilfong86
    Hopefully Royce will bounce back and not have any hesitancy about playing center and chasing balls near the wall. I've seen guys do things like that and never be aggressive going near the wall again.
  18. rwilfong86
    Should have been a 3-1 series victory, but I'll take a split over a series loss
  19. rwilfong86
    I think you are absolutely right. They overachieved and got lucky with an easy schedule and now we may be seeing who the real Twins are, which could very well be the team we saw last season.
  20. rwilfong86
    One bright spot is with his 3 hits, Arraez has brought his average to .359 and his OBP to .455. It will be fun to see him chase a batting title for the rest of the season.

    Sanchez has been solid, and with the issues the Yankees are having with Donaldson and now with him being out and Rortvedts injury it seems more and more the Twins are gonna end up winning that trade.
  23. rwilfong86
    Watching him play third is a thing of beauty.
  24. rwilfong86
    Working counts, do you mean last night when they swung at the first pitch 5 consecutive at bats after a 5 pitch walk? That sure was a great example. The Twins 6 batters saw a total of 10 pitches. Great job of running up the pitch count wasn't it? Analytics is neutral, but it's what a team does with the data that determines success or failure. And the overemphasis on letting the "computer" determine what happens is gonna lead to failure if they don't adapt to be more situational rather than "by the book". Rocco has made some pretty horrible management decisions based on the data and last night was a golden example of that.
  25. rwilfong86
    The Twins are in first place because they've had a stretch of great starting pitching, timely hitting, a few lucky bounces, and the White Sox have been trash. I'm not sure what analytics has to do with any of those things. I would guess probably at least half of their losses can be blamed on analytics and Rocco's inability to use his brain but I'm not sure any rational person could give credit to analytics for their success. They're winning in spite of analytics, not because of it.
