  1. Julien has to go down to St Paul because he was caught between pitches.You can't stand in the box watching pitches in the zone.He should have watched Miranda's at bat the other night when he saw a dozen pitches.He needs to swing the bat at close pitches,not stand there watching strike three.As far as the Lewis situation he can play LF if needed,so Miranda is at third.
  2. Some players need to play more than one or two games a week to show their ability. You can see he is happy to play any where he is asked to play. Once Lewis is back he should get a break,so he doesn't wear down.
  3. He needs to step away for the rest of the year. His problems have gone from bad to worse. After he left the Twins which he requested,he had issues in Miami as well. He even went back to Baltimore where he was before being traded to the Twins. I don't think the language thing has anything to do with what is happening. It may help if MLB steps in and suspends him. The reason being is that there are team's probably looking at signing him. Like the saying goes you can never have too much pitching.
  4. We have a manager that lives and dies by Analytics. They tell everyone that Ober pitching against KC is not a good idea. His ERA is over 7 and climbing when pitching against KC. And now as of 4 innings today with the all RH bats in the lineup they are losing again. When you live and die by the numbers you over think what needs to happen.
  5. Varland has to hope for a visit to the IL by one of the SP to see another chance.SWR has pitched more than well enough to stay in the rotation.There is a problem at this time with Duran,he has been pretty shaky in closing out games.Hopefully Ober will have a better outing than the first time he faced KC.
  6. It doesn't matter who is calling what pitch if it is thrown in the hitters happy zone.Lopez is not a 1 he is at best a 3 and its time for them to realize it.The next 4 games will determine the season for this team.The Royals are not going away and Cleveland isn't either.
  7. Great win today,but need to be concerned about Julien.If the umpire is calling strikes a couple inches off the plate in your first at bat why stand there on strike three in 2nd or 3rd at bats.Maybe time to send him to St Paul for a lesson on his spot isn't a guarantee.
  8. SWR should of been aloud to get the 3rd out after pitching that well.It would of been a confidence builder to get the win.And Abrams is in a slump right now,let him pitch.As far as the rest of the team goes 2 solo homeruns and a late game double and single doesn't mean the team is back.
  9. I want to know who will have more fans in the stands Friday,the Wolves or Twins.If stats are so important for Rocco he would have seen Lopez has a losing record at the Nat's.And why is Kepler riding the bench,he has been hitting LP.You can't have Vasquez in the lineup because his whole game has been a disaster.What I see is a 4th place team who can start making golf reservations for October 1st.
  10. Throwing 86 mph meatballs in the middle of the zone has never worked.Why pitch Duran who throws 98-102 when the whole pen throws 82-87 meatballs.Then of course you decide to put Naylor on who is a free swinger can you say dumb. If people think it is going to be a cake walk in Washington they are in for a rude awaking.
  11. All I can say is this team has become unwatchable.I think it is time to blow up the whole thing,starting with the FO.I am so happy I didn't pay for the MLB TV.
  12. How many years now has Left field been a black hole.I have lost count of all the players that have been out there after Eddie left.He did seem to throw the ball to the wrong base,but he did catch the ball.Everyone knew Buxton would not be available to play Center the whole season,not resigned MAT was a mistake. Its time to throw out the sausage,the magic is gone.
  13. Same old Twins in awe of the Yankees.And Rocco putting together a AA outfield in the lineup.When you play the Yankees it has to be your best in the lineup.This lineup had too many automatic outs in it.I guess Rocco is OK with giving games away.
  14. How can anyone say the pen needs Topa.What he has done in the past may not be him today.This team started to play homerun again after the 3rd inning.When Sands threw a second fastball in the same location to Jansen that may have been the game.It is time to let Jackson go.The BP is showing a lot of problems and a shake up is needed.
  15. Here's a thought,pitching is hitting a target.And so far SWR is doing that,he is keeping the ball out of the middle of the zone.As for Varland his mentality is he can beat the hitter with his stuff.If you watch the two,one throws 93 and has kept the ball in the yard the other not so much at 98.
  16. I don't know what people are watching,he is 0-15 as a PH.When playing the outfield you hold your breath on fly balls hit his way.And yes Martin miss played the ball the other night,but even he gives you better at bats.It is time to cut bait and move on.
  17. As I stated before Pham was out there,but no they trade for Margot.Rocco needed to PH Martin over Margot.He looks totally lost at the plate and is 0 for 15 as PHer.When a team scores 6 in a game it should be a win,not a give away lose.
  18. Great game by SWR and the team needed it,so often after a winning streak teams go into a slump.It maybe time to sit Julien or send him to St Paul to regroup.He looks lost just like Wallner before they sent him down.I think Kirilloff may be in his head a little about not playing 1st anymore.That or he is hurt again and wants to play.They have to keep going because Cleveland will be without Kwan for at least a month.
  19. They played 12 games of baseball and then decided to play homerun again.This one was over after the 2nd inning.With bases loaded you have to put the ball in play not strike out.It is time for the FO and Rocco to release Margot,he is this years Gallo.How do you swing at the first pitch you see coming off the bench.Then make matters worse with the stone glove in the outfield.
  20. After watching Pham play in Chicago this week,he would have been a better signing than Margot.
  21. Isn't it amazing how when you play baseball not homerun you can win games.Someone had to have talked to the team about trying something different.You can still get the homerun,but there are so many other ways to score runs.Hopefully they keep this going because it is fun to watch.
  22. He needs to skip a turn,this blow up inning has happened 4 of 6 starts.It seems to be with 2 outs in the inning as well.Also you can see it coming and Maki should see it and go for visit.Maybe Rocco and Maki think its Pablo,he will get out of it.
  23. Its now a concern with Lopez,it's not the weather like people thought.We have seen 4 out of 6 starts with a blow up inning.It might be time to skip a start.If I was Washington,he needs to put Hicks in Right and move Adell to DH.He pretty much gave the Twins 2 games with his poor play.Hopefully we go to Chicago knowing they are a different team than last week.With Pham there he brings a attitude to the team.
  24. Need to be concerned about Paddock,after the 1st inning.His change up was right down the middle and getting hit all over the field.The White Sox made some changes and are now playing better,so the next series will be tougher.Lopez can't have another blow up inning today,because Detmers is a good pitcher.
  25. There needs to be some concern with Lopez and his 1 inning blow ups.This season it has happened in 3 of his 5 starts.And last night Rocco waits until the hole was already dug to even send Maki out to the mound.The White Sox only have a handful of players that are Major League players.Hopefully Ryan will pitch a strong game tonight and the team will back him up with some timely hitting.
