  1. Believe that was the second game in a row where the only walk Festa gives up turns into the winning run. No margin for error with this team David.
  2. When I saw Julien hitting 4th , I thought it was a typo.... He did get an RBI double....but agreed, very unconventional move.
  3. And here I thought I was in the minority for not being a Rocco fan. Twins blew it when they fired Molly who played in more games (2683) than Rocco had at bats.(1910).
  4. Desperate teams do desperate things. It's one desperate move after another for this team.
  5. You forgot to mention Boushley, Blewett , Henrique, and Bowman. Four other pitchers who the Twins have let through the revolving door of futility. Why this FO can't field a half way decent bullpen from one year to the next has to be discouraging for the fan base. After the horrible trades for Lopez, Fulmer, and the likes, I imagine ownership won't allow Falvey to deal more of the Twins future away.
  6. Casting my + vote for AJ, not just yesterday, but for his full body of work, several other games I've heard him work. His career in broadcasting will continue to grow and expand.
  7. Correa has hit into 29 double plays so far....1 for every 16.3 at bats. To put things in perspective... 13.3 is the all-time worst DP per a bat... Something named Billy Hitchcock did it in 1950......30 double plays in 399 at bats..... Correa probably won't be able to pull it off.....breaking Billy's record,
  8. The ball was juiced in 2019, giving the Twins a huge advantage. The only way to compare which team is better (2019 Twins vs 2023 Braves) is to factor in how much they out performed the rest of the league. How do we know Ruth was the greatest home run hitter of all time? Because he out homered his peers by such a large margin. If a player out performed his peer as Ruth did his, they'd have to hit over 200 homers. (Based on Ruth's best season, 60 in 1927.) In 1927 Ruth out homered every team in MLB..
  9. If the Twins end up choking again, just like last year..... hopefully this signals the end of the ride for the Falvey/Lavine/Baldelli era.
  10. You know how you leave the room when somebody lets out a huge fart? When the Twins go to the bullpen, I leave the room. I just stop watching.
  11. Is the bullpen a priority now????? https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-free-agents-trade-rumors/falvey-says-bullpen-not-a-priority-r80/page/6/?tab=comments#comment-1313435
  12. Twins bullpen cough up two more games..... Is the bullpen a priority now?
  13. My father's job put him in contact with Tony Olivia for a time. As a gesture of friendship Tony gave him an authentic baseball signed by the entire 1969 Twins team. Been a fan since. Seen a lot over the years, including visiting over 21 stadiums, most of them as road games with the Twins playing. Top highlight was being at Kirby Puckett's first game in LA. He went 4 for 5 and stole the show vs the 1st place Angels. Next mornings paper said: KIRBY WHO?
  14. Not sure why it matters. "First place" Twins would be only good for last in the AL East...do we really want to endure more play off loses?
  15. Either I missed it, or there was no mention of the new pitch clock rule being a factor. Either way, The Kings of K from the Land of 10,000 ra-K-es are killing my love for baseball. I use drive 300+ miles to see the Twins play out of state, Now I won't even drive 30 miles to Target Field. This team is flat out boring.
  16. You nailed it. FO track record for trades is a D+ at best. Bullpen should have and could have been addressed in February....not now when the cost is far greater. I can't even watch this team anymore, The Kings of K from the Land of 10,000 K's is a boring brand of baseball.
  17. Molitor played in over 2000 MLB games, Rocco, didn't even get 2000 at bats in MLB. Twins commitment to Molitor pales in comparison to Rocco....the sooner Falvey and Levine are cut loose the better this organization will be.
  18. "Pa-Gone With The Wind" One day it will be the pitcher, but for now, it's the baseball.
