    Buxton 7 times. Corrected.

    Part of the reason I think why it always seems like the Twins are in an uphill battle coming into today our lead off batters are 17 for 85 (.200 avg) with 4 BB and 23 Ks. Kepler has led off 6 times, Buxton 5, Solano and Julien 3 and Larnach 1. Will be interesting to see if this team develops a “real” lead off hitter or if Rocco keeps ignoring it.
  3. OvertheHill
    I sure hope so. He’s the closest thing to a “professional hitter” on the roster.
  4. OvertheHill
    Polo showing up today.

    Going to begrudgingly have to admit that this is an unserious team with an unserious manager, chasing the Bomba Squad secret sauce from 2019. They’re built for the juiced ball game, and they’re getting schooled at the moment by a AAA talent team that hasn’t eschewed basic baseball fundamentals.
  6. OvertheHill
    Bad math sorry K per innings. You get the point.
  7. OvertheHill
    Corbin 0.65 K/9 coming into this game. Corbin 1.67 K/9 today.
  8. OvertheHill
    And there is your 2023 Twins season in a microcosm.

    Super insightful Rocco post game presser. No urgency. No pressure. No expectation.
  10. OvertheHill
    I hear Sano is still available.
  11. OvertheHill
    And I do realize that by saying that I’ve become the equivalent of the old guy yelling at the kids to get off his lawn.
  12. OvertheHill
    I think the Bomba Squad thing ruined this franchise for multiple years. Problem is there’s a whole generation of baseball players now who believe that’s the way to play the game.
  13. OvertheHill
    I fear the mediocrity of the AL Central will trick people into thinking this is a serious team. I really hope I’m wrong; I’m a diehard fan but this just looks like a very slow developing train wreck.
  14. OvertheHill
    Well there went 3 consecutive awful ABs.
  15. OvertheHill
    Amazing how an essentially 1-pitch pitcher like Kuhl baffles the Twins hitters.
  16. OvertheHill
    The body language of this team has suggested as much for the past few seasons.
  17. OvertheHill
    Forgettable game for Taylor for sure. Cold or not that was a medium shallow fly to center, should be a play at the plate. Maybe he’ll pick up a hit or something later.
  18. OvertheHill
    Credit due to Kepler for that good 2 strike hit.
  19. OvertheHill
    Looking forward to Pagan pitching in the 5th inning.
  20. OvertheHill
    Sadly 3-0 feels insurmountable. Check that 4-0.
  21. OvertheHill
    Neither Kepler nor Miranda should be in a Twins starting lineup right now.
  22. OvertheHill
    Agree with the suggestion that Miranda work on his craft at AAA
  23. OvertheHill
    What could really restore some faith would be a solid, well played (and managed) game against a clearly inferior opponent. The score will take care of itself.
  24. OvertheHill
    Maybe not a Broadway show, but it’s supposed to be entertainment nonetheless. Im not alone in finding this brand of Twins baseball painful to watch. Rocco hasn’t shown any feel for the “moment”; his in-game decisions are uninspiring to say the least. That Gordon AB was classic.
  25. OvertheHill
    Roy Smalley wasn’t even trying to be subtle when pointing out the Twins hitters having no plan or preparation at the plate. Easy outs, up and down the lineup.
