  1. Here's an idea Wallner and Lewis get a Uber to St Paul when this series is over. Lewis is now showing the same issue as Wallner striking out 50% of the time. He also has developed a 1 hand swing and losing his balance at the same time. This team needs a shake up soon and this would be a good start.
  2. At this point you can't bat Wallner in any spot in the lineup. Just watching him in the box you see he is lost. He walks back to the dugout totally frustrated after striking out again. Put him on the IL for 10 days and then to the Saints to see if he figure it out. The more you run him out there the worse it gets.
  3. The last thing a RP can do is come in and walk the leadoff hitter. This is a bad BP period and needs changes other than bringing in over the hill bodies. This game was lost by the inability to get the ball in play with bases loaded again. And again Buxton failed to do anything but swing for the fences hitting a can of corn to LF. He needs to think more about the game of baseball not about his stats.
  4. Plain and simple this is a bad baseball team period. Everyone saw and knew this before the season started. And looking at the attendance of the home games. And yes the weather has been a problem,but with them playing bad baseball that's a problem as well. It's time to cut bait on some of the under performers and bring up the youth. That would maybe help bring the attendance back to the stadium.
  5. Morris pitched 3 innings because of the score,if it was 4-2 he would have been done after 2 innings. In his first outing the score was lopsided as well and he was fine. In his second outing the score was close and he failed. Shelton is probably looking for opportunities like last night to build his confidence.
  6. This is what happens when you gut the BP last year. Now you have a BP of has been and cast offs. Watching Morris the last two outings show he is not ready.
  7. Watching Prielepp pitch last night it was easy to see he only had 2 pitches. He couldn't find the right zip code with his change up or curveball. Big league hitters will figure that out fast and sit on your fastball. Hopefully he can find a way to throw all 4 in his next start.
  8. Only thing I can say is I said yesterday they have to score 6 to win.
  9. Time to honest here the defense on this team is terrible. And adding to it by playing Bell at 1st makes it worse. Talk about a lazy attempt on the short hop throw. If C4 was still on the team how would anyone want Bell at 1st,with all the throws he made. This shows that they need to score 6 or more to win and that's not happening every game.
  10. The middle of the diamond showed its ugly face in this one today. When you have a slow to react player at SS and a player at 2nd who seems to be unable to play the position it's going cost games. SWR didn't help things either by walking hitters,it hurts him every time he does. Again you can't give teams extra outs because they will take advantage.
  11. This is a poor team defensively and that is all there is to it. Gray made a terrible throw to first as well as Wallner unable to make the catch in RF just adds to extra outs and extra pitches being thrown. And after the 110 MPH line drive past Buxton that should have been the end of SWR night. If the manager knew he was sick the BP should have been there to back him up.
  12. You can talk all the numbers you want,plus this or minus that Lee is not a SS. Watching him play is bad,he reacts after the ball is past him and when he does make a play in the hole he's too slow to 1st. And with Keashall at 2nd the pitcher is going to have to field their position better or the hits will just keep on coming.
  13. Good win for a team that could only muster 6 hits over the weekend. And the 1200 fans that attended the game,not 12,000 that someone said was nice for them. Looking and seeing all those empty seats behind home plate is a big problem. Maybe an idea to let a parent with a child to take a couple of those empty seats. You need fans to call out to the opposition from behind home plate.
  14. This team is beyond bad at this point and totally unwatchable. Wallner looks uninterested in the box swinging at pitches feet out of the zone. But he isn't the only one,pick a name they all are doing the same. Their SP pitched great and got zero support from his team mate's. They are now were they belong in last place as I said they would be weeks ago.
  15. The SP show what kind of game it is going to be in the 1st inning. When it takes 25 or more pitches to get out of the 1st inning. The BP will be spent by June if this doesn't change. Your SP are at 80 pitches after 4 innings witch means 5 innings of relief,not good.
  16. Isn't 13 a football score!! This has become can't watch at this time,even the ace looked bad.
  17. Watching Lee in the box is hard to watch. Every team tells the pitcher bounce the pitch because he will swing. This is who he is and looks like this is who he will be. It's time for Culpepper to get his chance and send Lee to St Paul to work on laying off those pitches.
  18. New manager same boring team!! They don't play baseball,it's all about the long ball. SWR was 3-2 on almost every hitter and Twins hitters were making first pitch outs. Watched the game on the radio and glad I couldn't get it on TV. Maybe time to watch the Bananas because they are more entertaining. Why is Cory still in the booth,tired of him talking about so and so going to go deep.
  19. Don't know what game people were watching but the score was 0-0 and Funderburk walked the leadoff hitter and Topa gave up a single up the middle putting men on first and third before Martin's mistake. Then Topa give up another single up the middle for the second run. Its time to get real about a pitcher who had a 19.00 ERA in ST. He should have been DFA'ed and another pitcher from St Paul given the opportunity.
  20. Watching the game looked like watching Rocco 2.0. How can you put Topa in a 0-0 game when he should have been DFA'ed. And then again Lewis is supposed to be the guy and you PH for him when he has shown to come up with the big hit. If this is the way Shelton is going to do things it will be a long season.
  21. Everyone saw him not looking good at the plate and instead of giving him another at bat they choose to pull him. If they would have given him a chance against a lesser pitcher he may have figured somethings out. They probably need to send him down after the first 3 series if things don't improve. He does have a ego that also gets in his way that may need to be humbled a bit.
  22. No matter who they keep this is a last place team in the central. The SP rotation is not good and the BP is even worse. Looking at Ryan who already had a issue in the ST and Ober's velocity way down will put pressure on a questionable BP. And looking at SWR,Abel and Bradley who haven't shown they will be able to go more than 4 to 5 innings again will put pressure on the BP. So that being said keeping one or the other who can't hit will be of no help.
