  1. 100% agree with this. Not only would players know their roles better, it would improve the fan experience IMO. “Anyone can play anywhere……” is BS.
  2. I’m fine riding the rest of the season out with Lee somewhere in the lineup. I think trying to draw conclusions after 500 MLB plate appearances is being a little quick on the trigger. One thing I do like about his plate appearances is that he rarely seems to get fooled or be overmatched. He’s one of the few guys in the lineup who can spoil pitcher’s pitches. It’s almost like he’s got a clue up there although the regular hard contact isn’t there yet.
  3. Yeah, it’s almost like there’s no direction or expectation of accountability from the Manager. Hmmm….
  4. Even after his bat comes around, which I am really pulling for, I wonder what his highest and best use is in the field. I remember being excited after he was drafted thinking he might be a MLB shortstop. That was quickly revealed to not be the case, and the Twins were messing around with him in different spots, including CF. He didn’t appear to have instincts for that, and he’s lumbered his way to 3rd. I understand and am saddened by the fact that his once upper echelon athleticism has diminished due to injuries. At this point, I think with a lot of work he *might* be an average fielding 3B, but honestly is he best pictured as our future first baseman? Assume he can train up for that?
  5. Empty cliches. Non specific observations. You know, same as always.
  6. Awesome look coming out of the break. Methinks the question of “are we buyers or sellers “ will be settled pretty quickly.
  7. It’s a major factor in the perception that this organization doesn’t highly value good fundamental baseball. Few players on this team appear comfortable or consistent in the field.
  8. Please Twins do not be the first visiting team to be shut out at Colorado in 2025.
  9. Not a “Willi night” for sure
  10. Beating a (mostly) dead horse I know, but Wallner has been reduced to only being able to hit one pitch, in one location, at one speed. It’s the only swing he has.
  11. Wallner. Just flailing up there.
  12. I honestly don’t know what to make of the guy. I like his flexibility but I’ve never been comfortable relying on him as a regular player.
  13. I’ve seen about 3 or 4 questionable alignments tonight. Like why was Wallner protecting the line ?
  14. Wallner took a bad route to that base hit
  15. Wallner 167 AB, 9 HR, 15 RBI .205 AVG Hard to believe. I don’t expect that he’s going to reinvent himself and be a high average type hitter, but this isn’t going to keep him in the majors.
  16. Granted it’s a tough spot to come in for what might be a meaningless at bat, but I’m still not convinced Keirsey belongs on a ML roster.
  17. Great game all around. Enjoyed the guys in the booth. We’ll see if the bullpen holds up.
