  1. It should be noted that the Pohlad regime has never hired a person in this role who managed previously at the MLB level..Miller, Kelly, Gardy, Molitor, and Baldelli...first time for each one...
  2. ...and what about Twins bench coach and former SD manager Tingler....naahhh..never mind.
  3. I respect Joe M., but he will be 72 shortly. I worry that it might be a repeat of the Tony La Russa White Sox experiment.
  4. SONG BY THE KINGSMEN.......LOUIE LOUIE...IN MEMORIUM
  5. Wow...thanks....doubt it would have been close to that number if not for the July trades
  6. You know the staff is having a tough time coming up with topics when they find a need to write an article on a player who has an ERA of this nature. I am a bit curious if somebody could list the number of relievers who appeared for the Twins this year. It simply must be a team record. Am I correct?
  7. Funderburk had a 3.51 ERA and should get competition for the closer role next year. He also needs to complete a full year at this level. I guess he deserves honorable mention. Hopefully, he and Sands can improve. There is going to be competition during spring training. This "Revolving Reliever" tradition of claiming castoffs and letting them go has to stop. Finally....Joe rocked this year...hope he and Lopez are not given the " Pohlad Push" out the door to save $.
  8. ..he has done well in Philly after he left.....Sportwriters predict that he will double his 2025 salary next season
  9. Inspiration is on its way.....2026 season 🙌
  10. ????? Varland was traded for Rhoden and Rojas.....I was referring to the loss of a player....
  11. I still have to scratch my head at the influx of stolen bases during the 2nd half of the season. This rationale that it wasn't done earlier due to the slow players (e.g. France) being traded just doesn't pan out. Many of the players (believe a team record was tied or set) were in place the 1st half....just started to steal bases.
  12. I fully agree about Clemens, but would consider Martin if it was the last month or so of the season. Varland....still would be considered the WORST trade of 2025. If one looks back at Clemens....he hustled and put forth an effort at 1st base.
  13. Lee OR Lewis may not be around after next year if Culpepper works out in AAA. He can play 3rd or SS. Lee is somewhat flexible at these positions. I am unaware if Lewis can play SS.
  14. I am uncertain if this post was put forth simply to was up dander on fans. The owners and FO raised many of the challenges......but it was time for Roccomania to end. His decisions during games were frequently questionable. There is so much to support that point...it useless to analyze them at this point. He is being paid through 2026 and will land on his feet as a bench coach in my view.
  15. I like Hunter, but I also feel that Nelson Cruz may be great. I do not agree that hiring a manager who has been one in the past is the best option despite it being something they did with Baldelli. IN FACT, the last 4 managers the Twins had were 1st term managers. The owners need to create fan interest. Bringing back Hunter or Cruz would help fan indpirstion. Cruz speaks Spanish which would be a plus. At this point, nurturing young players on a team may be the most important issue for the manager. The owner and FO issues are outside of his parameters.
  16. Hunter will be available in my view. LA is pushing heavily towards Pujols as their next manager.
  17. I do believe that it may be time to hire a good bilingual manager if one is available.
  18. The quality of the concerts makes a difference. Does Falvey sing?
  19. Padres v. Mariners.....in WS. Both teams are after a title for the first time.
  20. Did not want to upset..Buxton.....flexible with new team ;)
