    Falvey will be attaching the strings before the news conference to announce his hiring. He is probably the only one willing to take the job for the money. The organization is such a mess with a roster in flux as well as ownership. If they were looking to put butts in the seats this is not the way to do it.
  2. David Maro
    He could be on the trading block like many on this roster. If he remains on the roster take his mite away so he can work on hitting only. Just like Lee he has a big hole in his swing. Every pitcher knows fastballs in the upper zone will get him out. With Lee it's bounce a pitch in front of the plate. He should use a smaller leg kick and not think about hitting the ball 500 ft.

    First of all there is no trade or don't trade of Ryan. He would have been gone at the deadline. Because his fiance was pregnant they waited till now. He is not going to waste another year pitching for a last place team. He wants to win now not years from now. With his personality he would be another Sonny Gray in the dugout. He's preferred team is probably the Giants or the Padres because he is from California. And yes the organization can trade him to whom ever they want but he has been a team guy up to now.

    The FO needs to have a meeting with him and tell him to lose his mite. Then tell him he is the DH. After that Wallner needs to call Kyle Schwarber and see if he can meet with him. They could sit down and talk hitting. If he only has to work on hitting and not fielding he could have value. Being a good DH is a better option than a part time player.

    The biggest problem he has is he is a sucker for the pitch bounced in front of the plate. Every pitcher in the league knows it and throws it. The other thing is the manager and coaches only promoted swinging for the fences. If Falvey wants to keep his job then he needs to finish the job and fire all the coaches. All you ever heard was swing as hard as you can and again here you talking about the same thing. If you listen to retired players they say the pitcher is the one who generates the power to hit homeruns. If next years lineup is full of 200-220 hitters look for another 90+ loss season.

    The biggest problem here is that not everyone is a power hitter. There is other places to hit a baseball then over the fence. If you're lineup is hitting between 200-220 because they are all swinging for the fences you will loss games. With the infield shifts used there are big holes to get hits. Instead of swinging for the fences how about playing baseball and hit the other way. Watching this team leave bases loaded again and again without scoring was hard to watch. The worst thing to happen to Lewis was his 2023 grandslam run. He will never see again in his career. If you watched the Brewers loss to the Dodgers it's because they didn't play their game,they tried to play the Dodgers game and lost. The Yankees lost because they tried to beat the Jays by hitting more homeruns. Time to get back to playing baseball not just homerun.

    First off Falvey is the one who extended Rocco,so take the money owed from him. The other thing is that at this time there is 27 teams better run than this one. This should be a wake up call to everyone that the organization put themselves here not the fans.
  8. David Maro
    Why are we beating a dead horse here. Looking at Ryan's personality it tells you everything you need to know. He will be traded because he is not happy and doesn't want to waste another year on a last place team. Looking at Lopez and Buxton their personality's are different,but maybe after meeting with the FO that could change as well. One more thing that has to be considered is who is going to come in as manager and coaches. If the Polhad's want to gut the team even more the pool of managers will be slim.
  9. David Maro
    This is what happens when you tear a team down to the studs. You end up throwing things against the wall to see what sticks. It will be hard to bring someone from the outside because there are 5-6 better jobs out there. At this time no one knows who will be left on this roster. Hunter was a good player,but does that make him a good manager. He may just become another yes man for Falvey. And when you look back at Molitor that was high on Falvey's reason to dismiss him. Molitor was not the yes man Falvey wanted. And watching a organization full of yes people you see a unwatchable team.
  10. David Maro
    If he is the end all be all for the job don't you think that other teams looking for a manager may want to talk as well. If that happens it could end up in a bidding war for his services. And a number of those teams have far better rosters and will probably offer more money and control.
  11. David Maro
    Polanco to Falvey,thank you so much for trading to the Mariners. As you probably have seen I'm 2 wins from playing in the WS. I'm not sure that this opportunity would be possible if I was still with the Twins. So again thank you so much!!
  12. David Maro
    Love all the wishful thinking here for a team that is a total mess right now. The FO blow the BP up at the deadline and dumped 3 players with expiring contracts along with the overpriced SS. The only thing this FO has tried to get is SP,as far as position players they have failed. They have had about 2 dozen LF,and how about 2nd and 3rd baseman. They wanted Lewis to move from 3rd to 2nd,but he said no thanks. Wallner is a liability with a mite on his hand anywhere you put him. Its time to move on from him using him as trade bait. With his approach at the plate he has too many holes in his swing. This is also a team with no manager and no one knows who that will be and if they will have any say on coaches or players. The best thing to happen is gut the FO and sell the team to someone that understands how to run a sports team.
  13. David Maro
    I did say weeks ago it was time to call Elon about getting one of his robots. He could program it to stand around and look at Falvey's spreadsheet. And the best thing its a one time expense for the Polhad's.
  14. David Maro
    Keep him and hope the SP can log more than 4-5 innings like 25. He seemed to be wore down in September and also may have thought he had to do more. At this point this team is in flux and the FO as well as the fans don't know what ST will look like. It could be the Saints in Twins uniforms as far as anyone knows.
  15. David Maro
    If there is a reason to compare this organization to the Pirates it's because of the FO. All the talk about payroll is getting old. The FO has made bad FA signings again and again. First was signing washed up pitchers to try and fill a rotation. Then the biggest mistake of all signing Donaldson who didn't fit the team. To add insult to injury signing Correa to a one year walk away deal. Then after he couldn't get a deal anywhere else sign him to a deal that couldn't be kept. And last but not least signing Lopez who lost half the season to injury. Then to make things really fall apart keeping a manager in 25 after the total collapse of 24. Looking at the Pirates they had seen enough of their manager and dismissed him early. And he of course was the bench coach for Rocco before taking the Pirate job.
  16. David Maro
    As the team stands with no manager and the coaching staff unknown the FO will be taken advantage of. With 5 other teams looking for a manager that are far better than this organization 26 looks bleak. We know one thing for sure ticket prices will be higher as well as concessions. Weather or not Lopez is traded or not,one thing is for sure Ryan will be traded. You can't have unhappy players in the dugout. He is in the prime of his career and wants to win not wasting another year with a losing organization.
  17. David Maro
    It will be a minor league team in Major League uniforms in 26 because of the lock out in 27. You for sure see Ryan gone wearing a California team uniform probably the Giants. You can't have a unhappy player in the dugout,just ask Sony Gray. The BP will be full of arms from St Paul that will want to be SP waiting for one or more SP to fail or get injured.
  18. David Maro
    In Falvey's statement to the fans he said we both failed,so why is he still there. He should have dismissed Rocco and been man enough to resign. When managers are changed more often than not they are dismissed,very few walk away. Rocco with his daily lineup shuffle and position changing with players turned this team into a losing team. For me please finish the job and relive Falvey of his job and sell the team.
  19. David Maro
    This team is in flux and is the FO going to blow up the roster even more before a manager is hired for input. And bringing Toby from St Paul is not a good idea. Looking at the prospects that have been brought up they all are showing to be weak in fundamentals. It seems like he is being told to ready the position players to play multiple positions,not working on the fundamentals. Looking at the list this job is just above the Rockies because of the roster issues being unknown.
  20. David Maro
    Fans won't pay major league prices for a minor league team. As of now no one knows what this team will look like 3 months from now. They have a number of players on the roster who either will want to leave or will be traded. With the team in flux who would want to come in as manager. This is what happens when you have people in charge who run a business into the ground. It's time to sell and give new ownership the opportunity to get this turned around.
  21. David Maro
    If a company has a FO in place for 7 years or 9 years and it's failing why would any owner give that person more responsibility. This organization is a train wreck getting worse by the day. If left the same you can only imagine who he will bring in as manager. And for that matter who in their right mind would want the job.
  22. David Maro
    All the talk about this that and the other thing. Falvey has had 7 years to do things his way and failed. Who here thinks any real manager is going to come here to manage this team. The team has become a shell of a team. In the business world he would have been shown the door a long time ago. And to all of you saying it's all about payroll look around there is teams in the playoffs with low payrolls.
  23. David Maro
    Who as a veteran manager would want to manager this team at this point. They will want to see where things stand with the roster. Looking at this roster they see one catcher no 1st baseman,questions at 2nd and who's playing the corner outfield. Then they look at SP rotation,who is staying and how about the BP doesn't look good at this point. At this time they have a better chance with the Braves,Giants.Angels,Orioles just to name a few.
  24. David Maro
    Can't fix broken with Falvey still there. He will bring in someone who will be the same same. This organization needs a clean sweep of the FO to get back to baseball. They have done ok with the pitching pipeline,but position players are put in positions to fail. As for the poor defense how can anyone get better when you come to play and find out you are playing a different position. It has been said defense starts up the middle. To start the year things looked ok there but changed fast. At 2nd base everyday was someone new. I imagine Correa was at wits end with here we go again Lee today gone tomorrow. You want fans to come back and care about the team Falvey has to go.
  25. David Maro
    In his letter to the fans Falvey said we didn't deliver,so why is he not gone as well. Knowing this organization they will probably put Tingler in Rocco's place. Maybe buy a robot from Tesla to be the manager so you can program it how you want. That way you save money on paying a human manager and have the same control in the dugout.
