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.

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.

After watching Pham play in Chicago this week,he would have been a better signing than Margot.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is what happens when the FO who are supposed to be the end all be all of pitching.They traded away pitching to bring in dead arm pitchers one after another.Now they get what they sew.They can only hope that the big 3 stay healthy and until Varland or SWR can become a #5 go BP game.

Varland is a batting practice pitcher at best.He is on the mound as a thrower not a pitcher.He seems to think the faster he releases his pitches the better.The team is so bad at this time they can't afford to just give games away.It is time to send him to St Paul and get SWR his opportunity.And people seem to forget Paddock has yet to show that he is a SP for this team.The next 2 weeks are the season for this team,they are already back 8 games in the division.

Santana and Margot need to DFA.Santana has 250 ft fly ball power and Margot is a shaky fielder.Was very surprised Buxton didn't stand at home admiring has line drive to left in the 2nd.Maybe someone had a talk with him.Other than that they finally played a game of baseball.

A real manager would have told Buxton to take a seat for not running.The way the ball came off the wall he may of gotten a inside the park HR.

This is not a team,80 percent of the homerun they have are solo.You only have to look at Julien all solo and triple that amount in SO.How many times have they started the inning with a double and was left there because of 2 SO and a pop-up.The organization is playing to the new generation of fans,all about the homerun.Its all baseballs problem.With players using PEDS in the 90s and then juicing the baseball.They needed to put the game clock on the pitcher and hitters years ago,but now they are stuck with a all or nothing game.

Orioles 4, Twins 2: Sweeping Away the Misery
David Maro replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News

After they lose the next 7,maybe people will know for sure this season is over.I don't know about you but I am tired of watching pitches thrown down the middle of the zone.I know yes now and again one will leak over.Varland needed to go with Wallner to St Paul and SWR should of been given the chance to stay for another start.Sometime a really big shakeup is needed.They can't let Chicago sweep or even take 2.

Varland is a batting practice pitcher,he has no control of his Cutter.If he throws 10 Cutters 7 are on a tee.Need to send him with Wallner to St Paul.There he can work on location and Wallner can work on putting the bat on the ball.This is the Major Leagues,produce or work on things at AAA.With the way this team is playing they will be out of it by May 1st.Even Lopez is having a blow up inning in every outing.
-
This one is on the manager,Theibar should not have been brought into the game.He needed to get settled before pitching in this game.And can someone tell me why Wallner is still not back in St.Paul.The only ball he hit was a 61 mph cookie in the middle of the zone.This is starting to look like a long season already,and it is April.

Any starter beyond Lopez is a question mark.Both Ryan and Ober had ups and downs all last season.And Paddock is a great unknown when it comes to a SP.The FO again has shown a inability to address SP.As of today this staff is going to put a strain on the BP.You need your SP to give you 5+ game after game,and I don't see it with this staff.

The Jorge Polanco Trade Fails the Simplest of Tests
David Maro replied to John Bonnes's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I love how people say it was time for Polanco to go because of injuries.What about the CFer that has been injured for 8+ years.Polanco was never going to bring a SP with a upside.I know this is going to sound like no way,but maybe the FO should have a talk with Trevor Bauer.And yes he has some very bad baggage.He also a bit of bulldog much like Sonny Gray.And FO could sign him to a contract with a lot of incentives for a year to prove himself. -
Here we go again talking about the Buxton problem,can he or can't he play.I put this situation on the FO.All off season everyone has talked about trading Kepler,and now move him to CF.If Buxton isn't in CF the first game of ST its time to move on.The wait and see on Buxton should be over.

What Defines Success for Byron Buxton in 2024?
David Maro replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
If he is not in CF game 1 of ST its time to cut bait.Can't wait for him to be healthy again for another year.His body isn't built to play baseball.It will be time for the FO to draw up retirement plans for him.They can make him a minor league coach,so at least the money he's owed they get something in return. -
Offseason Status Update: Attrition By Subtraction
David Maro replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Same problem different year!!Can Buxton play or not.Just like last year no one knows if he will be ready to play the 1st game of ST.I think it is long past time to move on if he isn't ready.Everyone knows they need pitching and Polanco will not get them a SP pitcher they need.May get a BP arm at best.Looking at the Tigers and the Royals the Twins will need to be better this year than last.- 43 replies

Twins record against the Tigers in 23 was 5-8 with the Tigers weak SP.They will win the Central if they stay healthy with the SP.
