    Runner on 2nd and nobody out. Now may be the time to dust off that old baseball strategy book on how to get a runner home from 2nd.

    80 pitches for Paddack. I don't understand why Rocco seems to be terrified of bringing in a pitcher in the middle of the inning. Is he getting a pace of play bonus if his games are in the top 10% of shortest timed games all year?
  3. Western SD Fan
    Another thing to consider as well is that players like Bader, Castro (when not hurt), Clemens, and others may see where the team is trending. If they perform well, maybe they will be traded to a winning team come deadline time.

    And all of this started from a hustle double from Larnach. Amazing what a little hustle does to an opposing defense.
  5. Western SD Fan
    Absolutely! And when you're refused, file under the ADA and at least you can get some money out of the Pohlads as well!

    As bad as the pitching is now, I'll take it over Kyle Gibson's 4 starts this year: 0-4, 12 1/3 IP, 16.78 ERA. But for you advanced metrics people, he has had some bad luck as his FIP is only 10.53 this year.

    Today was only 5 runs in the third. Improvement over yesterday's 6 runs in the third. But don't you worry! We will get to see at least another year of this now that Rocco has been extended and Falvey's excuse will be "Just wait until we are healthy!"
  8. Western SD Fan
    Whoa whoa whoa! You mean you can bunt for base hits?!? What sorcery! I thought this was a gentleman's game!

    Had to go back and watch that on the replay again. That ball was having supper and relations with the partner by the time Wallner swung the bat.
  10. Western SD Fan
    Whew! We just dodged a bullet. Whit Merrifield just announced his retirement. I'm sure if Falvey would have known he was still out there if FA land, he would have signed him already.
  11. Western SD Fan
    That is the saddest part of this announcement is it gives off the impression that the Pohlads may be pulling the team off the market.
  12. Western SD Fan
    I know Lovelady is. He asked and was granted a release by the Saints and already has signed with the Mets.
  13. Western SD Fan
    Apparently will be Your 2026 Minnesota Twins as well as it looks like there will be no substantial changes in upper management.
  14. Western SD Fan
    In principle I agree with you. With Correa discussing this with the FO without the manager, I don't see where Correa is going to respect any of the potential coaches that would be the interim replacement for a fired Rocco.
  15. Western SD Fan
    Look at the Seattle manager tonight. He took over for Scott Servais and went 21-13 the rest of 2024 and missed the playoffs by 1 game. Certainly better than how we finished 2024.
  16. Western SD Fan
    I'm reasonably certain that I screamed that very thing when the Reds hired Tito. We could have had Tito!!! AJ Hinch with the Tigers would be another manager that would have been nice to consider when he was available.
  17. Western SD Fan
    I agree, but I don't see them bringing anyone in from outside the organization in the middle of a season. That's more of an end of season change.
  18. Western SD Fan
    I've been on the Fire Rocco march for quite a while. With that being said, even if you fired him tomorrow, who do you replace him with? I think Tingler is worse than Rocco. Pete Maki? Tommy Watkins? We already want them replaced. Maybe you bring Toby Gardenhire up from St. Paul with the hope he'll bring his father in as an advisor. I just don't see any of the current group of coaches instilling any kind of fire in this team either.
  19. Western SD Fan
    Correct. I wouldn't expect any changes until either the team is sold or pulled off the market. The FO will sell off the expiring player's contracts for peanuts. Does MLB owners invest in Broadway plays anymore?
  20. Western SD Fan
    Nothing. This is Plouffe's 11th game called this season, and he has been consistent in his criticism in all 11 games so far and that's not including his weekly appearances on the Skor North Twins Show on YouTube.
  21. Western SD Fan
    Someone needs to explain to me why Tommy Watkins has a job. I don't even mean it from the perspective of he's terrible at sending the runners home. It just seems like the runners aren't even looking at him going from 1st to 3rd and it's causing them to slow down at 2nd and look for the ball and eventually stop instead of going from 1st to 3rd. I saw it yesterday with Ty France and tonight with Lee.
  22. Western SD Fan
    Think of the positives. At least Seattle missed the extra point!
  23. Western SD Fan
    Correct. I personally like listening to Dan Shulman with the Blue Jays, but a lot of people can't stand his partner, Buck Martinez.
  24. Western SD Fan
    I'm assuming you are at the game tonight from your earlier photo? I heard boos on the TV after the last home run. Just curious if that is what you heard at the game?
  25. Western SD Fan
    That seems to be a Twins pitching specialty, at least the pitchers developed by the farm system. None of them can seem to handle adversity and tighten it back up and try to control it.
