Miguel Sanó Finding Second Life in Los Angeles
John Belinski replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
It just seems that the Twin's coaching staff did not do a good job with him. He needed to lose weight and get in better shape, but isn't that what coaches are supposed to help with? Just not impressed with the Twin's coaching staff from Rocco on down. -

It doesn't appear that the Twins have many players that other teams would want except for a couple of starting pitchers. Twins need leadership or this season is over.

Week in Review: Searching for Answers
John Belinski replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
The biggest thing the Twins lack is leadership. They can't change all the players, but they can change team leadership. If they wait too long the season will be over. Rocco just doesn't have a feel for the game and needs to be replaced now, but that will probably not happen. Hard to be a Twin's fan when they are playing so poorly. Players are making mistakes that should not happen at this level of play and that will not change without a change in leadership. Even good starting pitchers can not pitch a shutout every game.- 35 replies

Guess the only bright side of the poor record is maybe Rocco will be replaced with a manager that knows baseball. I really wish we would have kept Paul as manager and think we would have been a better team this year and past several years. Rocco took Paul's team and won games during past several years.

Varland just doesn't look like he can pitch in the majors. Send him down so we don't keep over using the bullpen. He has no out pitch and his control is poor. He walks 3 batters in first inning. After the first inning the game was over with him pitching. Twins management looks like they can not judge talent. Terry Ryan was a person who could judge talent, but it appears the Twins have no one like him.

Just did not understand why Rocco had Farmer pinch hit? I think Farmer has had just 1 hit this season. Farmer was up again in a later inning and had a strikeout in a key at bat. I certainly would rather have a good hitter at bat than Farmer with just 1 hit this season. It was a good day for the Twins and the rookie pitcher really pitched a good game so gets hope he can continue pitching well.

Maybe the best pitched game of the season. The rookie really pitched well and certainly should get more starts..

The way they have been playing they are not going to regain much respect. I know it is early in the season, but as days go by they keep playing bad baseball and do not know when they will improve.- 49 replies

I am concerned about Wallner. Last year I was on his band wagon and wondered why they did not call him up sooner. Maybe the pitchers have figured out how to pitch to him, but he has really looked bad this season. I know it is still very early in the season, but is not getting any hits and has too many strikeouts. So far the 2 corner outfielders are not helping the Twins win games.

WOW Ricco certainly doesn't over manage! He just doesn't manage and doesn't have his batters move runners over. It doesn't appear he has a game plan and certainly never adjusts his game plan. Rocco will never change how he manages game. Swing for the fence and strikeout is his game plan even if he doesn't have players that are home run hitters. Who in his lineup is a real home run hitter? The answer is "NO ONE".

Have been a fan of Wallner, but he looks lost when batting this year. Guess pitchers have found his weakness since just can not get a hit this year.

No team will win many games with 15 strikeouts. It will be a long year if Twin's batters keep striking out so often. I know Rocco doesn't know what a bunt is or how to have his batters move runners over. Look back on the good old days when we had a manager who knew how to manage games. Wish we had kept Paul a few more years as manager since he knew how to play winning baseball. I think we all keep hoping Rocco will improve, but just do not think that will happen. We could have had at least 2 more runs if we had batters move runners over.
