  1. Wally Karbo : “ there’s going to be fines there’s going to be suspensions”
  2. Or as Wally Karbo might say there’s going to be fine’s there’s going to be suspensions!
  3. I think most people could agree history is the best indicator of future performance, and based on that Chris Paddack is worth very very little. If you can trade him and get some salary, relief that you can actually roll into a serviceable role player iby all means, do so.
  4. Twins still have the best pitching staff in the AL Central. It will be interesting to see how the youngsters develop if Festa takes another step forward and we can bolster the bullpen with Louis Varland. We’re going to be a competitive team. I believe the biggest problem is that are core star positional players all have a consistent history injury. If someone like the Yankees are willing. To give a strong package and Carlos is willing to waive no trade that is a gamble I would make because it solves their self imposed payroll issues completely.
  5. Actually this season proves doubter’s we’re right. Second best season of his 10 year career and he knocks in 50 runs, scores 60 and steals nine bases. He is paid 12.5% of total payroll.
  6. I also have been following The Twins since the 60s played little league with Harmon Killebrews son Cam. I moved to Orange County 36 years ago but still have the childhood attachment to the twinkies. This was the most disappointing stretch I can remember. The Twins 3 best players all played about a hundred games and in all honesty, the rest of the every day lineup just isn’t that good. The injuries to the pitching staff, and the under performance of all but three of our relief pitchers in the last two months spelled doom. I’m sure some coaches will get the axe maybe even Rocco but with some luck with our young pitchers and positional prospects we may be competitive for 2025 and beyond.

  9. Don’t think Griffin Jax is losing sleep over Twins Daily headline describing how he went from the hero of the game to the goat. Relax Francis.
  10. Nice article. I imagine like most of the people who post on this site I played sports most of my life and virtually every time I competed in anything, I did the best I could because human nature is that I wanted to win plus it’s a lot more fun that way, the twins players are no different than the rest of us, except they also have the added incentive of playing for large sums of money. The gentleman who posted that it’s not very complicated, was correct we’re down to two competent starting pitchers, and a very weak bullpen. Three best position players one has been in a massive slump for the last six weeks, one has been injured for the last two months, and one is going to play less than 2/3 of the regular season games. What is surprising to me in all of this is that the twins actually have a better record this year than last. Of course it’s disappointing. The pohlads won’t spend any of their billions to improve the team when even Carlos Correa was going public about what we needed to do with the trade deadline but sometimes life just isn’t fair. The good news is that against all odds we may still make the playoffs and that we do have a significant group of high-level prospects that could make the next few seasons, competitive and fun.
  11. Even if the bullpen had performed well and won the game, it is still a bad decision in the context of how Bailey was performing,where we are in the season and the importance of winning the game. He had retired 15 hitters in a row was averaging about 11 pitches per inning. Unless he complained to Rocco and asked to be taken out for some reason we are unaware of. I can find no justification for removing him from the game.
  12. A long overdue inspiration to underrepresented meat products. Kudos.
