    Good to win but there has to be concern about the 50 million spent on the 2 leaders. Don't think the FO thought they were paying for their gloves only. As of today they are well under the Mendoza line combined.

    This is carry over from last year and they look like they aren't interested in playing baseball. The games are one sided with them on the wrong side. It is hard to watch a listless team when they are losing by multiple runs after 1 inning. This needs to be addressed now not later or the season is in trouble. I know it is easy to put this on Rocco,but that is were it belongs.

    The team looked flat and over matched all weekend. Castro was the only one who showed up to play. To be a clutch hitter you need to have other people's help by getting on base. The pitching didn't help either by walking and hitting hitters. Guess we'll see if things change in Chicago.

    Yep a 27.00 era will put you in the running for a CY.

    Time for a reality check,the team has 70 million go to 3 part time players. Why on earth would they sign another one to big money. This team is operating on a limited payroll and will need to start paying players who play. This year Lopez is at 21 million adding him to the Correa and Buxton payroll. And saying Vasquez catch Lopez last night would have made a difference is silly. When you throw a pitch in the middle of the zone it is going to get hit no matter who the catcher is.

    Spoke to family members about having to put out $100.00 for the games and they said not interested. It's time to say enough is enough when it comes to having to pay for another channel. It is starting to look like everyone is going to have a dozen or more apps to pay for watch anything. To think this team will have millions buy in is dreaming.

    Being a ball player with a back issue is a big problem. You're bending down for ground balls and then swinging a bat as well. This maybe a AK situation that Lee will need to retire before proving himself. It looks like Martin will be on the Opening day roster to help cover the infield.
  8. David Maro
    Let's be honest here this team is not equal to or better than the Tigers or Royals. They have a SS and CFer who will miss a number of games. The catcher position is a 50-50 position that is just OK not good. All other positions are up in the air with Rocco rotating players here there and every where. Yes pitching seems to be pretty good,but bad defense will hurt that as well. It kinda looks like they will be fighting Cleveland for 3rd place in the central.

    Here we go again with a Lewis injury,the FO did the right thing by not signing him to a extension. The team now will be playing musical chairs at 3rd just like last year. The FO had the off season to do something about the infield problems and didn't. Starting the season with questions at 1st,2nd and now 3rd again is a big deal. Looks like the so called infield defense improvement is on hold to start the season.
  10. David Maro
    Let's be honest here the infield is a mess. You have no clue who will be playing 1st 2nd or 3rd. Everyone knows C4 has SS covered if healthy. The FO has allowed the infield to become a real problem as they did with LF. They have numerous players who have defensive issues at what ever position they play or weak offensively.
  11. David Maro
    Short and Sweet can't read the ball,can't catch the ball!!
  12. David Maro
    The bigger problem with a poor infield defense is giving teams extra outs. And extra outs means extra pitches thrown. If Lewis is playing 3rd he needs to stop imitating Correa with the 90 mile hr. throws. With most teams having heavy LH hitting lineups 1st and 2nd base really looks problematic. ST needs to spend hours working to find who will man those two positions.
  13. David Maro
    Louie's biggest problem is he is a thrower not a pitcher. His mentality is he can blow pitches by hitters. He needs to work this ST on pitch location and movement. Why everyone thinks pitchers need to throw 100+ to get hitters out. Looking across the league the pitchers doing that seem to end up with shoulder or arm issues. Just look at Stewart as one example for the Twins.
  14. David Maro
    The only good thing about this signing is they didn't overpay like they did with Gallo.
  15. David Maro
    Ace pitchers control their pitch count that is how they go innings. All the Twins starters seem to be approaching 80-100 pitches in 4-5 innings. To be an Ace you need to go after hitters,not nibble around the zone. If Joe lowers his walk rate that would help his pitch count and get him more innings.
  16. David Maro
    Sorry but Bader is a Donaldson personality and doesn't fit the team. He believes he is a power hitter when they need the ball put in play. Probably could of given the spot to Keirsey.
  17. David Maro
    The biggest problem is health of the team. You have way to many players that seem to find their way to the IL. The biggest concern should be the players with back issues. Those can come out of the blue and are hard to recover from. When bending down to field ground balls and swinging the bat can aggravate back problems. The one example is Kirilloff who chose to retire at a young age.
  18. David Maro
    Jax has become a pitcher in 24 and Duran is still a thrower. Just because you can throw 100+ doesn't mean you can get outs. Most hitters can catch up now and throwing pitches in the middle of the zone get hit hard. We will see how the rest of the BP fairs with no Lefty as of now. And the health of Stewart and Alcala and Topa is key.
  19. David Maro
    Probably the reason no one wants to talk about making a deal. The organization is showing just how CHEAP they really are.
  20. David Maro
    The biggest problem with the deals made on the pitching side is and has been too many dead arm pitchers. It all started with Big Mike and kept going on from there. It needs to change or they will have problems like last year finding arms to finish the season.
  21. David Maro
    The organization is not going to do anything to devalue the team at this time. When selling the team with the Polhad's they will put major deals on hold. Everyone will have to wait until a new ownership comes in. This is why the only deals made this off season has been minor league deals. The FO is also going to protect their jobs,hoping to save them.
  22. David Maro
    With new ownership coming in hopefully in the future, Rocco is trying to save his job. He has had plenty of time as manager to make changes but is set in his ways. Playing baseball is and has been the way to go since forever. If you look around the league you can count on one hand players with 50 homeruns. That is why hit and run and hitting behind runners is and will be forever.
  23. David Maro
    Pablo needs to be more aggressive on the mound. At times he has shown to be a little timid. When he bears down and becomes a bit of a bulldog he is a better pitcher. Watching Ober pitch he seems to already have that mentality. Varland has the mentality,but is a thrower not a pitcher. It is time the pitching coach work to improve that aspect.
  24. David Maro
    First off the manager seems to like not having a true 2nd or 3rd baseman. It gives him the opportunity to platoon players at those positions. Now he also has the same situation at 1st base. As far as Lewis goes he hasn't looked good at 3rd base and looked uncomfortable at 2nd base for the short time he played there. He may be a good trade chip if he is going to tell the organization where he is going to play. He could be a everyday LF'er that the team hasn't had since Rosario.
  25. David Maro
    Why is it so important to get rid of a 6+ million dollar player who plays everyday. We have a pitcher making 7.5 million and a catcher making 10 million who can't. It's time to get real and move on from players who spend more time on the bench than on the field. If the team is out of contention in July then you make a deal with Castro.
