This whole operation gets a F- because both the Tigers and the Royals are moving on in the playoffs.And all the Twins are moving on to the back 9 at the golf course.

Ripple Effects: Cities Disconnect
David Maro replied to Eric Blonigen's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
All this shows is this is a minor league organization trying to be something they aren't.And the pajama looking city connect uniforms need to be put in the trash,they are bad luck. -
Prime example is Lee who came up tearing the cover off the ball.Then after a couple of weeks was lost at the plate.This team will not be any better next year with no changes in management.You have half the team that should be table setters who think they're homerun hitters.Everyone gets all excited to see Buxton come up to pull the ball into the seats,but strikes out instead.He is far more dangerous when he is on base.This team refuses to play baseball,only wants to play homerun.

This is what happens when you sign part time players to big dollar contracts.It is not as bad as the really dumb signing of Donaldson who didn't fit the team.When you spend 40% of your payroll on 2 players you end up with the 2024 Twins.Ok Buxton played 100+ games this year for the first time since 2017.If you need a backup SS and CF for 60 to 80 games it becomes a problem.Problems cost money that now takes away from other needs.This organization is not being run in a manner that can or will ever see a championship.

Every position player on the team but Buxton and Correa played multiple positions.Why didn't they,how about Buxton at SS and Correa in CF.This team is a mess and probably will be next year as well.They went from 17 games over 500 to 1 game over in a month.Clean house or suffer the consequences next year.But we all know ticket prices will be going up next year.

Max Kepler Deserves a Minnesota Goodbye
David Maro replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
They now have RF open for the revolving door position that they want.As long as the FO and Rocco are there they will have a team of chess pieces.It is a team that is unwatchable at this.It makes me sad because I have been a fan since day one.I have lived in 7 different states but still find a way to watch.Max is a team player who covered RF very well and had some big games just not enough.We will now see 3-6 different RF play the position next year and beyond if Rocco is the manager. -
Twins 2, Orioles 7: Stick a Fork in Them
David Maro replied to Matt Braun's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Hard to work on fielding when you come to work not knowing what position you will be playing that day.Rocco believes he has 10 utility players on the bench.I remember him not being happy because Kepler told him he wanted to play only RF.If this organization stays pat with this FO and manager 2025 will be more of the same.Players have routines they work on every day and don't like changing.All the team's left in the playoffs don't move players like chess pieces.- 134 replies

Hard to know how to run the bases when the plan is hit a homerun.They are coached to swing for the fences and that is all the fans want to see.Then of course just listen to the Clowns in the booth talk about this guy or that guy is he going to be the one hit the homerun.

We are talking about the Twins here,with Kepler gone all but CF and SS are open positions.With Correa and Buxton more likely to be on IL a good part of the season those positions will be open as well.Both Julien and Lee need to play winter ball and work on their game.This season got away from the team because of far too many wasted at bats.At this point they are unwatchable and time for changes across the board.On Sunday night the hitting coach gone and all of his plan thrown in the trash.That includes the homerun or bust idea.All of the rookies come up with good approach but then fall into the homerun or nothing.Julien,Lee and Martin should be working to become ducks on the pond not swinging for the fences.Again it's called baseball not homerun.

I told anyone who would listen at the start of the season this team would finish in 4th in the division.I know people think it's easy to say that now.A team that cuts payroll and thinks they can compete is dreaming.Everyone of the young players fell off a cliff.Both of the big dollar players spent close to half the season on the IL.The starting pitching had 2 of the 5 unproven because of a rebuilt arm and a thrower not a pitcher. It is time for major changes to take place starting with the upper management and and the fans need make their voices heard.After all the taxpayers paid for a large percentage of Target Field.
-
Time to be honest here,this team has given up and are ready to hit the Links.They can't hit and the so called leaders on the team look even worse than the rookies.Just look at Buxton who struck out time and time again this weekend.And Correa surely didn't look any better.And to make matters worse a manager who's moves blew up in his face again and again.We at least can now move on to the Vikings who are giving the fans something to cheer for.

Rocco made sure this one went extra innings with his poor decisions earlier.Miranda looked blind at the plate and should of been PH for sooner.He started swinging at pitches coming out of the dugout.After all the talk about Farmer's speech and the way he has been swinging the bat he may have been able to get the ball in play.With men on 2nd and 3rd Miranda swung at 3 pitches not even close to the zone.And of course the Margot for Vasquez PH why what more does he need to see.Because of these decisions he had to basically use the whole BP.Now Lopez will have the pressure of needing to go deep into the game Saturday.

As I said before where's Topa?Everyone said the team needed BP help to start the season.The trade of Polanco did bring Santana not BP help.It also got the team 2 pitchers that won't see the mound until next year.And 1 of those maybe not until 2026.If the FO was brought in to build a pipeline of pitching they have failed badly.The pitching coach is never talked about and should be.He has 3 rookie pitchers who don't seem to be making progress.SWR still has a problem walking way too many hitters.Festa pitches like he is a BP arm that runs out of gas after 3 innings.And of Varland who thinks he a SP in his mind believes he can blow every hitter away.With any luck Zebby will stay close to Lopez and Ober and let them guide him.

There are zero teams lining up to trade for Correa.With his feet not foot issues the team is stuck with him.They now have 2 big hits to the payroll in Correa and Buxton.Both give them a half season or a little more.And don't forget about Lewis who is waiting in the wings for his money.He himself has not shown he can't stay on the field.And on top of that has a manager who is giving him days off regularly.

Carl Willis has been and is the best pitching coach in baseball.Cleveland has a totally different starting 5 from the start of the season.He had the Twins looking like little leaguers at the plate.When a starter starts to show signs of breaking down they trade them.They also have the best BP with half of that staff on the IL that started the season.

I don't know what people have been watching.If there is no changes made with the FO or the manager you will not see everyday position players.Every position but 1st base and catcher has had 4 or more players play there.We now have a team of utility players over all.So I would say Castro has lost the label.

I don't think anyone on this site would be crying the blues if they had invested 44 million and turned it into 900 million. And much of that on the taxpayers back with them paying a large amount for Target Field.
