    And to think, the media led us to believe that the 2023 performance was a result of not liking the DH spot.

    Buxton is the Twins' outfield version of Javy Baez.
  3. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Suarez last pitched in the bigs in 2017. And his ERA was over 5. This is disgusting.
  4. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    If this showing doesn't get Popkins fired...

    I'm not as down on the FO as some other fans are. The reality is, they had nothing to work with in terms of a budget. Not sure what people were expecting the roster to look like after Joe P.'s comments. With that said, I do think both Falvey and Levine are the masters of spin and fluff.
  6. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    They've been masters of saying a ton of stuff without saying anything at all. Optics have long been a priority for the front office.

    Rudy Hernandez David Popkins Derek Shomon Something has to change. This is ridiculous.
  8. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    One of those deals where its pick your poison for the FO. What looks worse - dumping Santana in April or May, or keeping him on as dead weight for the entire season...
  9. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Martin - sigh...
  10. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    He's the prized acquisition of the off-season so he'll stick around for that reason only.

    Sadly, Buxton's entire career is more in theory than it is in practice. The injuries really did rob him on what could've been.
  12. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Okay, hopefully Pablo's on track now.
  13. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I give up. This team's broken. It's 2021 all over again.
  14. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    If they can't do anything against Suarez... It's like the adjustment was, well, we strike out too much so let's just go up there and swing at the first pitch!
  15. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    He's been Popkinized!
  16. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Buxton's a great dude by all accounts but he talks too much. In ST when he talked about 30 stolen bases, I just rolled my eyes. He's the not player he once was, which is fine. Injuries and age happen. But be more self aware.
  17. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Orioles' lineup is lethal but Pablo has to be an ace today. Get out of town at 7-10 with 6 winnable games coming up at home. Time to right the ship.
  18. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    No Santana - again. At least Rocco's acknowledging the problem.
  19. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    You see a team quitting on its manager.
  20. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    SMH. This game is over. Prove me wrong, Twins.
  21. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    7 pitches in the first? lol. Only the Twins.
  22. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
  23. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Bit envious of the Orioles. Talk about a pipeline of homegrown talent.
  24. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Hard-pressed to think the Twins score more than 2 runs tonight. Rodriguez could hit double digit K's before the 5th inning.
  25. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Rocco is hard to get a read on. As a player, he was so scrappy and intense. As a manager, he does seem to get fired up but it is usually directed to no one in particular. I don't think he holds anyone accountable and that's why mistakes, as you pointed out, are an on-going theme. Farmer's a good teammate and supposed to be a leader. The mistake he made against Detroit - it happens - but I wouldn't have played him last night. Even if it is a subtle message to everyone else, it is still at least a message. The other problem is there's no leadership on this team outside of Correa. If you have a manager like Rocco, you need players to police themselves and hold each other accountable. Where's that coming from? It's not Buxton. It's not Kepler, Vazquez or Farmer. The rest of the roster is too young or just a non-entity a la Santana or Margot. The front office seems to love Rocco and I often wonder if he has the final say on his coaches. If he does have a green light to dump Popkins - and hasn't - that's all I need to know and Rocco might be looking for work before long.
