  1. Just give Wallner another chance since he was on base 8 times in a row when for some reason, only Rocco knows, he was sent down. Twins have nothing to lose since if he hits they will keep him and if he doesn't send him down. Twins really need hitters and base runners so why not bring Wallner up?
  2. When the 2 highest paid players go 0-8 and Buck strikes out 3 times the Twins will not win many games. Really sad watching the two high paid players not getting even 1 hit. Two good teams walked away from Correa, but Rocco wanted him back and that shows his lack of judgement.
  3. I think Gray should have been allowed to pitch another inning. If he has a bad start in the 5th inning then pull him. The Twins bullpen is not very good so give Gray a chance to win a game with a 3 run lead. Just when I was thinking Rocco was letting his starting pitchers pitch more than 4 or 5 innings he pulls Gray and Twins lose game. I keep wondering what our record would be with a manager that had a feel for the game.
  4. I can just not understand why Wallner is not playing for the Twins? He was on base 8 times in a row when they sent him down. He is not the best fielder, but how many balls get hit to right field every game? When the Twins have several outfielders batting below .200 it should be a easy choice to bring Wallner up. Teams just cannot be a winning team with starting players batting below .200.
  5. The Twins need better hitters so a trade is needed. With 7 possible starting pitchers we could trade one of them to get hitting help.
  6. When Williams came into the game I assumed it was over for the Twins. This was one of biggest wins this season. I think many Twins fans were thinking another lost game. Winder did a good job in his 2 innings to hold then scoreless so maybe the Twins have a RP that will not walk batters and throw strikes.
  7. If some of the starting pitchers return to pitch it appears we will have too many starters so a win win trade for a hitter would help the Twins. It appears we have 2 or 3 starting pitchers that could return to help Twins plus some rookies that could help. The Twins need some hitting help to score more runs since even the best starting pitcher gives up about 3 runs per game. The Twins have been just one hit away from winning numerous games.
  8. I like Max, but do not think he is one of the greatest outfielders for Twins. He really had one very good season.
  9. Don't keep throwing good money away on a bad choice. The Twins have already thrown good money away on Paddock who may never pitch again. Go with the young pitchers instead of throwing money away on pitchers that may never help you be a winning team.
  10. I have said several times that Rocco is a slow learner and putting Pagan into pitch just shows that. How many Twin's fans assumed the game was lost when Pagan came in to pitch? The Twins were probably going to win the game until Rocco decided to have Pagan come into the game. Does Rocco just have a short memory so he decided to pitch Pagan again? Pagan can just not pitch under pressure and that is a fact that most fans know, but for some reason Rocco gives him another try and Twins lose game.
  11. What a odd game where the winning team strikes out 17 times of the 27 outs, but still wins. The Twins hitters missed 17 time, but didn't miss 3 times.
  12. Glad the Twins won, but it was a close game. Still waiting for Wallner to be called up since we need hitters.
  13. Rocco who is the leader or is supposed to be the leader decided to send Wallner down even after Wallner was on base 8 times in a row. If the Twins really had a leader as manager they would not have a losing record.
  14. Without a change nothing will change. Now that the Twins have a losing record again why not change. I think there are some ex players out there that would jump at the chance to manager the Twins. We all know Rocco will not change so hire a leader that will help the Twins win.
  15. Really the same thing. Twins picked Larnach over Wallner. Larnach has went 0-15 since coming back.
  16. It is apparent that the Twins lack leadership. Rocco seems like a nice guy, but doesn't seem like a leader. Watching his interviews after games are almost always the same with him saying we have to play better. I just do not understand why the front office decided to extend him, it just doesn't make sense. The Twins have losing record in 1 run games, have losing record in extra inning games and lead baseball in strikeouts so front office rewards the manager by extending him.
  17. Rocco just can not manage a game. A bunt probably gets the run in and then Polo gets to hit. Rocco just has no feel for the game. Hiring him was one of the biggest mistakes the Twins have ever made and now the front office decided to extend him. I guess they were concerned some high school team would hire him, but even that probably would not happen.
  18. Wallner should be on the team. Either Rocco or front office should be replaced. They called up Larnach who is 0-12 since being called up.
  19. Just do not understand why Wallner is not being called up plus after being on base 8 times in a row when he was with the Twins he should have never been sent down. Larnach is 0-12 since being called up so Wallner could have not done any worst. Either Rocco or front office can not judge talent.
  20. WOW we do not need Wallner? He was on base 8 times in a row before someone decided to send him down and he continues to hit in the minors. We need hitters.
  21. I would take Terry any day over our current front office.
  22. Leadership and experience of playing the game. I seem to remember he did well managing in minors, but for some reason the Twins front office released him.
  23. How can the Saints be in the top 10 for runs per game and the Twins can't score runs like last night. Maybe we can IR Rocco down to Saints and call up their manager. He could not do any worse than Rocco.
