Good lord... -
It wasn't all that long ago when Jeffers was on fire...
-
Stewart was really good but it was a little bit of fool's gold considering the injury concerns. There was zero excuse for not upgrading the pen. IYAM, it's worse now than it was in 2022 and that's hard to do.
-
If, and it is a huge if, Keuchel continues to pitch well, then Kenta in the bullpen - presuming the Twins actually make the post-season, makes a lot of sense.
-
I wouldn't say Kenta's a waste of a roster spot especially when you take a look at the Twins' bullpen. A couple of those guys - that's what a waste looks like.
-
Have a feeling Kenta won't make it out of the third...
-
Welp, they proved me wrong. More runs.
-
Julien isn't the fleetest of foot so combine that with not hustling - ugh.
-
Zero confidence in the Twins scoring more runs today. Prove me wrong.
-
I'm taking it at face value, and based on that, sitting Wallner makes no sense. Is there more to it? Potentially. But Rocco hasn't come close to earning the benefit of the doubt either this year or really any other season. He leaves himself open to criticism. That's not a 'scandal'.
-
I'm still pissed that Rocco pulled Ober last night. I'm sure it was discussed at length but I wasn't in the game thread yesterday and I need to vent.
-
There's no reason to sit Wallner today against a righty. It's Rocco being Rocco.
-
Rocco going with a Ouija board lineup. Typical.
-
Two seasons in a row where the bullpen has been horrific.
-
After Wallner's near miss, the game-ending double play seemed like it was bound to happen. Not Solano's best day.
-
Yes, he's been underwhelming at the plate. But watching that guy play short-stop on a nightly basis - it's an absolute joy. No real point to this thread other than to find a positive among a lot of the doubts and criticism that have been sent C4's way this season.

Where Do the Twins Fit All of the Youth
Twins_Fan_in_NJ replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Also, I'd be surprised if Kepler's NOT on the team next year. His salary isn't cost prohibitive at all, and unless the Twins want to go with Larnach as a starting outfielder - and I don't think they do, they'll probably pay more for a stopgap outfielder than they would be paying Kepler. -

Yeah, I'm not sure what to think about Julien. His biggest issue is that his bat is the only reason you would want him playing on a regular basis. If he can't make some counter-adjustments, then he might not be the long-term option that some thought he would be.- 76 replies

Oh, and the Tigers are just an annoying team. Vierling, Carpenter, Torkelson, McKinstry. Pesky and they don't go away. They also have a pretty good manager. Will be glad when the Twins are done with them for the season.

I'll eat an appetizer portion of crow on Wallner because I was ready to trade him at the deadline. He's showing that he could very well be a long-term fixture in the outfield.

If you want to apply the logic that losing 3 of 4 to the Tigers dooms the Twins, then you can flip the script and say winning the season series against the Astros elevates the Twins to World Series contender.
-
Pagan. Jax just doesn't have an 'out' pitch right now. Absolutely crazy to me that the front office didn't learn anything from last season.
-
This is why you can't trust Sonny Gray in a big spot. The box score will say quality start. But the reality is, he's too reliant on off speed stuff and is prone to meltdowns. That same pitching performance against a good team, and Sonny's line looks a lot different.
-
Based on what? The squaring up was almost simultaneous and Ramirez started the entire incident by jumping up and pointing in his face. If Anderson should get more than 6 games, so should Ramirez.

Max Kepler isn't good at anything anymore
Twins_Fan_in_NJ replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I'd be fine with Lewis in the outfield. IIRC, didn't he say he wouldn't play in the outfield and the Twins were going to oblige? Don't get me wrong. I think it is a foolish idea for the Twins to let Lewis dictate where he plays. Perhaps they sing a different tune as next season gets closer. Lewis in the outfield clears up a bit of the clutter.
