    Gray is the poster boy for why Ws & Ls don't make any more sense for starting pitchers than they do for relief pitchers given the way starters are currently managed.

    And his name is fun to say 😁

    Why he should not be traded: it would be totally demoralizing to the one part of the team that is a high functioning, cohesive unit. Why he might be traded: it would be the spotlight, smartest person in the room move that is Falvey's speciality... "Who trades from the top 3 rated pitching staff on a first place team?"

    I think you are on to something. It sounds ludicrous, but the top 4-5 spots in the order seem to be decided by the marketing department via the FO!

    And Baldelli doesn't seem very pleased with Wallner being there.

    Let me go out on a limb here and say these 2 games have done far more to help this team become a cohesive unit in the second half of the season than a couple of blowouts would have. A double steal, home runs, bunts, Buck's battle for a run walked in run, and the bullpen holds are just what this team needed. Let's have another messy, all-hands-on-deck win and roll on to Seattle!

    That is literally what he did! In the post-game interview he said he didn't see the first fastball at all. So, he thought... just swing at the next pitch and see what happens!!

    That was a painful win to watch. But, it did reveal a few things... Buxton limpy visibly walking back to the dugout. The Twins can put together a passable offense when their best hitters are in the lineup at the same time! Poppins best value to the team is as designated ejectee!

    An Ohtani trade would fit Falvey's MO perfectly. Make a big news splash highlighting how smart he is, overpay and decimate the farm team! Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you view it) last year's deadline deals left the Twins with nothing much of value left to trade.

    From the topic I thought you were going to propose a massive trade of the entire staff. That’s likely the only way they will be playing in October 🥸 JK!

    That putrid performance in front of 90,000 last weekend might put a crimp in attendance for the rest of the season!
  12. NotAboutWinning
    Nobody goes to the plate trying to strike out. But somehow we have a team full of Gallos that have bought into the idea that a strike out is an acceptable outcome in pursuit of a HR... always. There is no nuanced thinking that some situations are better served by just putting the ball in play. Or hitting a sac fly. That is how you develop as a team. That is were coaching and game prep come into play.
  13. NotAboutWinning
    Ouch! True, but ouch!
  14. NotAboutWinning
    I wonder if the players got wind of Falvey's pregame interview on Bally. He essentially said they are satisfied with the team as they constructed it. Arrogant, obstinate and tone deaf!!!

    Friday, July 7, 2023. The day the Satire died 😰

    Expectations. RF is an offense first position. If the Twins had a screaming offense, we could say "yeah but he plays the Target Field RF like no one else". With a mediocre offense, missing that offensive piece is glaring.
  17. NotAboutWinning
    He learns... although somewhat slowly.
  18. NotAboutWinning
    Nice story. I hope he makes his way back… both for him and the Twins!
  19. NotAboutWinning
    Sadly, that is not how this FO and owners work. They have invested 3.5 million in him. He will be here for the duration 😕
  20. NotAboutWinning
    Jog the length of a football field 18 times, do several 20-30 yard sprints in various directions, add a couple of leaps at the wall. Do that on a knee that is obviously so bad that a stolen base requires a couple of minutes to get get back on your feet. Buxton is not healthy enough to be a viable in CF. He is not performing as a DH. He should be on the IL and figuring out how to get back to playing form 😔
  21. NotAboutWinning
    🫨😲🤯
  22. NotAboutWinning
    Please stop yelling... It makes my head hurt and scares the fish 😉
  23. NotAboutWinning
    We just saw the potential of this team.... and it was fun!!! Next step is realize that potential on a consistent basis!
  24. NotAboutWinning
    Correa is not the team’s biggest problem. His offensive production is below his career norms, but he is still providing outstanding defense. Sadly, Buxton is the biggest problem (on a long list of problems). DH is an offense only position and must produce. A DH batting .200 is not acceptable. And on top of that, batting 2, 3 or 4. Slot a .300 hitter into that position and how many of the 2-0 and 2-1 losses turn into wins?

    And they steal a lot, and they hit a ton of home runs, and they are a lot of fun to watch.
