  1. Unless this season completely bottoms out, and by that, I mean 90+ losses, I would be surprised if there's a major move with the FO or with Rocco. Their hands were already tied thanks to Joe P.'s cheapskate ways and now they have the added excuse of injuries to Lewis and Correa. A different franchise with different expectations, then yeah, seats would be getting warm right now. But, I don't think the Pohlad's care enough about winning to make sweeping changes.
  2. I'm always curious why people attribute FO philosophies to the horrible showing at the plate. To me, if there is a philosophy, it is being preached at all levels of the organization. We've seen in recent history, young players come up for AAA and appear to be better prepared and disciplined at the plate than the veteran players too. Whatever is that is being taught in St. Paul, seems to be contradictory to what's going on with the big club. My issue with Popkins has been spelled out at ad nauseum. But for the last time. He just doesn't have the resume or experience to be a hitting coach at the MLB level. When nearly everyone in the line-up is slumping, adjustments need to be made and there needs to be more attention to detail. Popkins doesn't give me confidence that he's up to the challenge. The strikeout numbers have been a problem each year he's been with the Twins. They desperately need a new voice and different set of eyes. Popkins would be better served going to Wichita and earning his stripes there before he's up with the Twins.
  3. Guess it depends. If Jax is shaking off other pitches and going with the changeup, then it's on him - both selection and location. If Jeffers is calling for it and Jax serves up a meatball, its on both of them.
  4. Just a bad team in every facet.
  5. Going to be such a long season.
  6. I would be surprised if Lewis is back before the ASB. Just a bad feeling....
  7. Come to think of it, Holiday would look perfect in the Twins' lineup. Fits right in...
  8. Always a risk of rushing guys up to the majors too soon and I think Baltimore did that with Holiday.
  9. Don't worry. Someone else in the lineup will get to Stewart.
  10. Buxton is another that is ridiculously overdue for a good at-bat.
  11. Terrible instincts in the outfield. He's a very good athlete so he'll be for the occasional web gem but he has a lot of work to do before he can be a everyday player in the OF.
  12. Santander barely hitting .200 on the season. SMH.
  13. This is a really bad baseball team right now.
  14. Good teammate and good dude. Deserves better luck. Hopefully this is the start of it.
  15. Farmer is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo due.
  16. No, he doesn't but look at Buxton - when you're a total liability at the plate, you become a net negative even with a few highlight reels in the field.
  17. He hasn't been Popkinized yet. Give it time...
  18. Wondering if that's it for Pablo. Great performance today. Too bad he pitches for the Twins.
  19. Through last night... Team batting average - .195 Team OPS - .620
