    That's true. IIRC, they have 10 wins against those three teams and the Twins had every opportunity to take the two games at Target Field. On paper, the Guardians aren't anything special but it might just be one of those fluke seasons where everything goes right for them.
  2. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Popkins is too young. Maybe he'll be a good hitting coach one day. But he simply doesn't have the experience to be at the major league level. He was a questionable hire at best when it was made and it only looks worse with time.
  3. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Yeah, I'm not seeing it with this group. No fire or fight.
  4. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Is Cleveland ever going to lose?
  5. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Varland. Thielbar. Santana. Can't let these guys continue to get a shot.
  6. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I don't think age is the issue for Farmer. He wouldn't have gone from 2023 production to the worst hitter in the majors all in the span of an off season. This team is just completely lost at the plate.
  7. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Maybe when Correa and Lewis get back, they go a run. With Lopez, Ryan and Ober, there's enough starting pitching. But the tailspin may do more damage than they can overcome.
  8. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Twins jumped into a time machine and took us back to 2021. 8 games out already.
  9. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Wasn't pretty, but you have to start somewhere. Need Varland to step up and win the series. Do that and then onto the White Sox.

    Let's see if the lineup can wake up and put up a crooked number inning (or two)...
  11. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Weird rationale. So why do teams fire managers?
  12. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I think Thielbar is washed. Great teammate and local product but right now, he shouldn't be taking up a roster spot with Funderburk and Okert in the pen. Using him last night is on Rocco. But he shouldn't even have the option.
  13. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    With Lewis, they're probably at .500 or a game or two over. Baseball gods not just frowning in the Twins but also smiling on the Indians and Royals. I don't think anyone anticipated them playing this well. It's early but a 7 game hole isn't inconsequential and it is just looking like one of those years.
  14. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Baseball gods told us how this season was going to go when Lewis went down on opening day.
  15. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Yeah, it's not happening. Twins will be 10+ out by May 1st.
  16. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    This was the home stand to flip the switch. If they don't do it now, they're not going to.
  17. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    This season is 2021 all over again.
  18. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Divisions can be lost in April...
  19. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/#post-808286 Way too young. Remember him well during his stint with the Twins. RIP.
  20. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Has there been any word on Correa? Thought they were targeting end of the week for an update...
  21. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I wish they'd give Camargo a shot...
  22. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    And not sure what happened in Kansas City but Ober's rebounded nicely the last two starts.
  23. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Joe Ryan looks to be re-establishing himself as a potential #1 starter...
  24. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    This is an interesting point. I think the Twins have like 3 stolen bases on the season and Farmer has 2 of them! Buxton not running and Castro never being on base - certainly throws a wrench into small ball but the Twins rarely seem to do things to jumpstart the offense. Yesterday, they did send Margot and he with Watkins helped they were aggressive in pushing a run across. Need more of that. On the flip side, hard to manufacture runs when you're striking out 15 times a game and don't have guys on base.
  25. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    These next 16 games loom large. Presuming that Correa, Duran and Kepler return during that stretch and looking at the opponents, the Twins could position themselves to be at or slightly over .500 as the calendar turns to May and that's pretty much where they lived last year until the end of August when they got hot. How will Cleveland, Kansas City and Detroit play - and will a .500 Twins' team be within striking distance?
