  1. How many times have you seen a team score 10+ in a game and then come out flat the next game.Both Jeffers and Castro made Ragans job easy swing at pitches way out of the zone.Jeffers swung at pitches neck high and Castro at pitches in the dirt.The rest of the lineup wasn't much better swinging at the first pitch they saw.It makes the pitchers job easy when they swing at his pitch every at bat.Ragans hadn't thrown 50 pitches into the 5th inning.
  2. If Lewis is going to stay at third he should have stayed at AAA.You don't learn to play a position in the majors.He has the glove,but his throws are air mailed.With someone other than Santana playing 1st you would see many more errors.He would be better suited playing LF or 1st.The team does need his bat in the lineup,so he should be doing what is best for the team.
  3. There needs to be some concern about Lopez,still having blow up innings.It took 33 pitches to get out of the 2nd.Going into the 3rd he was at 47 pitches.The bats aren't going to give him 6 on the board every time he slips.Him and Ober are now the 2 veterans left as starters.Ober is doing his part,it is time for Lopez to step up. Singer is a bottom third of the zone pitcher,so the hitters figured him out the second time at bat. Logo is going to be lot harder to get and Matthews is going to need all the help they can give him.
  4. What happened to Lewis and Miranda,they disappeared with the bat.They were swinging at pitchers pitches and letting in the zone go. What are people watching Martin made play after play at 2nd all weekend.Who else would you want running the bases?Both Martin and Castro are on this roster because of their bat to ball and base running skills. The real problem is they are back to the same old Twins swinging for the fences.Fans doing backflips jumping up and down because Buxton hit 2 homeruns.Problem is they still lost the game.You win playing baseball,not homerun.
  5. Hitters looked like they had dinner dates and were running late.Why would you hitter after hitter swing at first pitch wasting an at bat. On the Jeffers out play at 3rd base where was the 3rd base coach,he has a view of the flight of the ball. On the good side of the game the infield played one of the best games all season.
  6. For some reason Varland and Vasquez were in love with the Knuckle curve.That pitch needed to be put on the shelf.The Cleveland hitters were all over that pitch.It is also time for Lewis to put in extra time working on throws to first.You can't give the other team extra outs.When that happens the pitcher ends up throwing more pitches and now has men on base.
  7. Ober has put himself in the running for the Cy.When he is pitching now he does with attitude.At this point he is the ace of the team.Maybe Lopez looks at Ober as competition and will get back on track.
  8. On the day Lopez is starting he was more worried about having the rookies go get coffee for the team.Its time for him to worry about pitching not being the event coordinator.Then Rocco gives the game away by putting Dobnak in so the Cubs can add on and put the game out of reach.
  9. Hopefully Festa watched how not to pitch.When you walk 15 hitters,6 by your team and 9 by their team its bad. Sorry but Dobnak is a St Paul Saint only.You can't go 3-2 to every hitter without getting into trouble.It does look like Topa will be ready for Cleveland,so Dobnak will be back to the Saints.
  10. Nice story about Dobnak,but if he wants to stay up he can't go 3-2 on every hitter.He looks more like a thrower than a pitcher.Him and Varland seem to think they are throwing a hot potato. Lopez did get bailed out by Larnach in the 1st inning.The game could of looked a lot different if not caught.As far as him being the ace,he has a ways to go to pass Ober at this time.
  11. You don't win any games walking 7 hitters.Umpire had two different zones that didn't help SWR.The lineup didn't help by swinging at pitches way out of the zone.This will be a long series if they don't stop helping the pitcher.
  12. Margot never fit the team,he was brought in by Baldelli who knew him in Tampa.If you do the same thing over and over again hoping for a different result that is the definition of insanity.We now hear that Correa is involved in who to trade for.We all remember his idea of trade for his friend Lopez.It is time to move on from Margot just like they did with Lopez.
  13. Why do people think Lewis,Paddock and or Topa are key.Lewis has shown only one thing he will be on the IL.Paddock can't stay on the mound,so who thinks he can come out of the BP.And Topa who even knows what he looks like.He has pitched in months. The team has hope Correa can make it back soon because Castro can't hold down SS.Watching him play there,you think he is Polanco with his side arm throws. We also need Miranda back for Right hand bat and ability to play 1st and 3rd base.
  14. SWR pitched his best game yet.It is to bad the offense let him down. Why Jeffers swung on 3-1 count with bases loaded is beyond me.Soto couldn't find the zone and needed to make 2 good pitches. With Wednesdays game now being a BP game it looks more like another loss.
  15. Don't look now but the Royals just tied the Twins for 2nd in the division.The manager is weak and the players can't stay healthy.Its time to look elsewhere because this team is headed south.
  16. Sorry Lewis but Lee is the 3rd baseman of the future.Unless Lee goes on the IL why would you move him.He is making every play with good throws to 1st,something both Lewis and Miranda seem to fight. As has been said many times before Buxton is far more dangerous on the bases versus trying to hit homeruns every at bat. Hopefully today was just a off day with the bats.I don't think they can win in San Francisco with only 5-6 hits in the game.
  17. I want to know who spoke to Buxton about contact hitting being better than swinging for the fences every at bat.He has become more dangerous on the bases and looks like he is having more fun. The other thing is Lee looks like the team's 3rd baseman,so Lewis if ever healthy may need to move to DH and some LF.If you watch Lee he looks at home at 3rd and makes really good throws to first,something Lewis has trouble with.
  18. It is time for everyone to realize Lopez is not a #1.He also needs to start working on pitching.He has spent time on Wheel of Fortune and Homerun vests and Hats as well as Pablo Day.Game after game he has a blow up inning as happened again tonight. Miranda kept the Twins in the game tonight with hit after hit.Lee followed with good at bats.Poor manager choices kept putting the game out of reach.
  19. Lewis needs to change his work out routine.He looks like he quit jacked and has probably shortened muscles in his body.Now he is lost until after the ASG and maybe longer.If that is the case it's time to get Lee up.
  20. This FO gets an F when it comes to trading for pitchers.More often then not the pitcher they get ends up on the IL with shoulder or arm issues.We now also have Topa who is on the IL all season with a bad knee.
  21. Garver was the catcher not the DH.This is why Rocco should think twice about having Jeffers DH.As for miscus in the infield,this is what happens when you change 3 of 4 infield players.One other thing,3rd base is becoming a problem because of throws to first.Both Miranda and Lewis seem to struggle to make good throws and Santana has to work to make plays more often then not.
  22. Hopefully Margot apologized to Festa about his lazy play in right.Yes the score was lopsided at the the time,but that was a can of corn.It cost Festa ERA and pitches.As a team mate you have to help a young pitcher when you can.
  23. Topa is on 60 day IL and wouldn't count on him pitching until August if at all this year.
  24. He has value because he is the only player to play every game this year.When availability is important he there and ready to play.
  25. Baseball is in the HR is the end all be all era.Well guess what you don't get to hit multiple run HR without runners on base and Arraez gives you that.With C4 this year,he is finally playing to his potential and contract.
