Nice win,but why did Lee and Julien waste at bats against Morgan.It was first at bats for them and 1 pitch and done.And of course Rocco sending Margot up to hit into a DP was the norm for him.He has had 6 years to learn how to become a manager with nothing learned.Managers have to have a feel for each and every game.At the time Wallner was the only one who seemed to be putting good at bats together.

Should the Twins Bring Back Carlos Santana in 2025?
David Maro replied to Matt Braun's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
This FO only wants players who can play multiple positions.Because of this he will not be offered a contract and you can put Kepler in the same situation.Next year you will see the same thing happening at SS because C4 can't stay on the field.Every position is going to have a 2nd and a 3rd option because of injuries and a manager who changes lineups at the drop of a hat.- 95 replies

This team is being run poorly and needs new owners.After signing a one year deal did they think someone would come to them begging to sign a long term deal.The bigger problem now has become cable is dying everyone is changing to subscription apps.It is time to wakeup and get with the times.Also MLB and teams need to understand that fan bases live all across the country.That means they don't want to listen to the other team's broadcast.
-
This team is flat with a manager who has lost the team.They are now ready for the season to end.If you watch them hit they are in a hurry for the at bat to be over. You shouldn't need a sausage or a hat or a vest to play the game you all claim to love. This off season needs to have top to bottom changes made to shake the organization up.Many of the other teams have budgets in the same range and are looking for better than this team.
-
This team has become embarrassing to watch and listen to.The booth bragging about Wallner's arm,how about his inability to read the ball.Anyone who thinks Correa and Buxton will save the season need a wake up call. Detroit has a far better manager and a team with far better players.It also looks like KC will take 1st away from Cleveland. Time to check those golf reservations.

Nice win but have to go on a winning streak because the Royals and Tigers are winning as well.

Different day same problem,walk hitters and pay the price. Different day same problem,hitters swinging at pitches feet out of the zone. Looking for Buxton and Correa to save the season is wishful thinking.Correa hasn't played in 2 months and Buxton about a month. What happens tonight when Lopez hits 83 pitches,does Rocco say thanks but we're going to the BP.

Typical Twins trying to hit 3 run homeruns with no one on base.As I said before the Tigers deserve to be in and probably will be. It also shows that few players have interest in playing a different position each and every day.Because of this you are seeing mistakes all over the field.

The Positive Spin On Max Kepler's Impending Departure
David Maro replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
He is on the IL for a problem with the left knee.He took a foul ball off his right knee at the start of the season.He is and has been a hot and cold hitter his whole career.You really can't count 19 because that was a juiced ball year.You now have MLB happy with 90% of the league hitting 240 or less because the fans want homeruns and don't care about strike outs.They should of DFAed him because if and when he returns there will be only 10 or fewer games left.Almost everyday teams are DFAing players and he has no contract,so the money owed isn't a issue.- 26 replies

Week in Review: Coming Undone
David Maro replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
SWR looked good for 4 innings today,then walked into trouble again.This has been his bug a boo all year.With the bats going silent they have little chance of getting into the playoffs.Now the Tigers are in position to take the last spot and they deserve it over the Twins.It maybe time to move to the Vikings,because this team has run out of time.- 34 replies

If you look at the roster for next year,you have no Santana and no Kepler.Those spots will be filled by players under team control.Another player gone will be Farmer who has been a absolute bust this year.With those 3 gone it cuts payroll by 25 million and that doesn't even count the money in the BP that will be gone. Now everyone who thinks it would be a good thing to make the playoffs just to be one home game and be eliminated.I guess you're OK with giving your hard earned money to the Polhad's for a one and done.

The last time I looked 2-0 wins the game.Ober was cruising and had not even broke a sweat.He wanted this one more than any other game.He should be telling the FO to trade me this off season. Let's face it Rocco is not and will not ever be a manager.He doesn't pay attention to the way games are playing out.How can players get better and do better if being pulled as early as 3rd inning. The best thing to happen to this team is to miss the playoffs.Because it will be short lived.

This team is now pushing for October golf reservations.When you have a rookie pitchers going you need to score 4 or more to help.Rocco didn't help either with the score 2-0 and Zebby getting into trouble in the the 5th.It was time to pull him,but no let's him pitch to Renfoe and now 4-0. Now they have to hope that Ober has figured out what the Royals have on him Saturday night.And someone on the team has to step up and do something.If they don't the Cleveland series will mean nothing.

He has no contract for next year,so DFA him.If the team had interest in him after this season they would be talking to his agent.It is known by everyone that they cutting payroll.All the younger players under team control will be in the outfield. It is time to cut bait with the medical and training staffs.This team has far too many injuries and lost time on the field.The training staff needs to be less focused on body building and more on flexibility.And the medical staff seems to let injuries go to long before putting the player on IL. The Buxton situation is a problem all its own.The FO signed him to a so called club friendly deal.It is now become a huge issue because center field is a musical chairs problem.The teams that will be making noise in the playoffs don't use 6 or 7 different players in the outfield.
-
Rocco and his musical chairs is getting old.Everyday they come in to a different position and now it has caught up to them. Did anyone see Farmer's face after Julien wasted an at bat PHing and striking out on 3 pitches.He looked like he was mad as HE double tooth picks. This team is falling apart at the seams and if they stay in the playoff picture it will be short lived. Now we all can see why it took until the end of the season for Varland to be called up.He is and may never be ready for the major league.He still is and may always be a thrower not a pitcher.

This will not be a soft month for a team that gets 4 hits against a team that is out of the playoff picture.They have been up and down all year and are now hoping that 3 rookie SP can keep them in the playoff run. Where are Correa,Buxton and now Lewis when the team needs a boost.And anyone who thinks Varland and Lee will be the saving grace has wishful thinking.
-
Margot running into the out at home is on him not Watkins this time.Jeffers single was right in front of him and he went back to second to tag up.He had to see that it wasn't going to be caught and needed to run.Yes Watkins has been a bad 3rd base coach,but the runner should be able to read the ball right in front of him. What I see is a team that is going back to the homerun or strike out mentality.Every time Lewis steps into the box all everyone wants including Lewis is a homerun.With bases loaded and no outs Miranda and Castro strike out and Vasquez hits a ball to short.This looked like the 2023 team.

Why did Duran throw a hanging curveball to Ozuna?He threw a 101 fastball right by him and Ozuna looked like the guy in Major League 2.Everyone thinks Buxton would have caught the ball Martin missed,but he probably would have missed the rest of the season. Where did the offense go,they had ducks on the pond almost every inning and the pitcher on the ropes.He was over 100 pitches before the end of the 5th inning.If they don't figure it out soon they will be playing golf in October.

Watched 1st inning only and saw Ober having problems with grip of the ball.He was wiping hand on pant leg and jersey.His pitches were way out of the zone or right down the middle.Let's be honest this one was over before the rain came.The thing that came out of the game was Blewett showed something. Again as I stated before don't look for Correa or Buxton until KC or Cleveland series.

Great news the Braves are going with a LP so Rocco will have Margot and Farmer in the lineup tonight.That means Ober will need his best stuff.Don't look for Buxton or Correa until KC or Cleveland series.

Complaining about the BP in this game is crazy.Sands and Jax were solid and Duran got a double play ground ball to second.Julien was bad the whole game and needed to be replaced way before the 9th.Hopefully Lee will replaced him on the roster today.Rocco thinks he is playing chess and the other manager is playing checkers.But time and time again he loses that game. Why on earth would Farmer jump the first pitch.He was PHing and a new pitcher,take one to see what he has.He needed to get the ball in play to the right side or outfield only.That run is and was important.

As I have brought up before how many times after scoring 10+ does a team come out flat.What was Wallner thinking two at bats 2 pitches.Lewis more interested in talking to Apple TV. Festa was only OK in the 1st and 2nd inning after that he spiked pitch after pitch getting his pitch count to climb. Where was Rocco when all this was happening,in the clubhouse taking a nap.As you see KC is now ahead of the Twins and yes they have a tuff road ahead but they are playing far better at this time.
