    I still can’t understand the negativity towards Lewis. Contrary to the article writers opinion I believe he is playing a darn good 1st base for the little time he has had a chance to learn it. In addition, two weeks ago we kept hearing that Lewis was the man to put the team on his back yet now he’s a bust. Give the guy a break. Since being called up from the minors his batting average is on par with the rest of the team. Put him between two good hitters so the pitcher has to pitch to him and you will see his average rise. Way too early to give up on him.

    Phenom? Really? I hope he becomes a great player but it’s a little too early to call him a phenom.

    Why bother trading them - it would just end up being another trade where we are on the losing end. What are the number of good trades we have made in the past few years - perhaps 1 out of 10.

    Here's a novel idea. Keashall couldn't play 2nd base because he lacked range going to his right. He obviously is not fit to play CF. Why don't you move him to 3rd and move Lee to 2nd. There is no real need for Keashall to have a lot of range to his right playing 3rd base. Lee has range in both directions. Thoughts?

    You said the same thing about Lewis.
  26. Maybe Next Year
    Where are all the experts on Twins Daily who said Lewis and Lee are total busts who can’t hit and can’t play a position? Just asking.

    Just another trade for an average to mediocre pitcher and giving up way too much in prospects. As long as the current Twins management team, including Shelton, is in control put your head between your legs and kiss any future World Series goodbye. Let’s trade top 100 prospects for broken down washed up veterans when we could just as well bring up youngsters who will do no worse and yet get some big league experience. No way in hell we are going to the World Series this year but what the hell - let’s trade great prospects for has beens simply to perhaps make the playoffs! I can’t wait for those of you that disagree to share your opinions.

    Stupid, absolutely stupid manager! Bottom of 9, 1 out and men on 2nd and 3rd. 1st base open. Does Shelton walk the bases loaded to force an out at any base? Hell no! Does Shelton walk the bases loaded to create a potential inning ending double play? Hell no! Instead he leaves 1st open, and pulls the infield in to prevent the bunt which is ok. However, if a bunt is fielded cleanly, without the bases loaded there is no force out at home making a perfect throw to the plate necessary. With the bases loaded the bunt isn’t as much of a weapon. Had the bases been loaded and the batter has two strikes lowering the chance of a bunt you could pull the infield back and try for a force out at home or a dp. Way more options with the sacks full. Just really stupid to leave 1st open.

    If the CBA gets approved for the 2027 season with a minimum payroll of $171 million the $8 m for Larnach won’t matter. The Twins will need to spend $60 million more than they are this year.

    Why would you trade Larnach? He’s only 29 and is now just coming into his prime years. It has taken a few years to find his groove but he seems to have found it. He hit .259 in 2024 and .250 in 2025 which aren’t horrible numbers. This year he leads the Twins with a .284 average. Not too shabby. In addition he won’t become a free agent until 2028. Contrary to the belief of many I don’t believe the Twins have an abundance of major league ready outfielders. Yes, some are ok defensively but how many can perform at the plate. I don’t believe Larnach will bring a top notch veteran pitcher in a trade. Call me stupid but to trade Larnach for a pitcher on the downside of his career doesn’t make sense to me. We will need Larnach’s bat more than a mediocre/ average pitcher if we want to make a run at the playoffs.

    “ most teams don’t run a six man rotation for a reason: they don’t have 6 good enough starters” Even if a team had 6 good starters, or 7, or maybe even 8 I would never want a 6, 7, or 8 man rotation. Way too much time between starts. They would need not 1 but perhaps 2 or 3 bullpen sessions between starts to remain halfway sharp. They would still be throwing a ton of pitches in order to accomplish this thus diminishing any so call advantage of extra rest between starts. In addition, the mental impact of that much time between starts would be questionable. Sorry but I just can’t get behind a 6 man rotation. Spoken as a former Division 1-college pitcher.

    So the Twins allegedly have one of the top 5 minor league farm systems in baseball and we are going to trade one of the best catchers in the league for even more prospects when we desperately need major league pitching? I don't get it.
  33. Maybe Next Year
    Sorry but I am sick and tired of trade Ryan, trade Jeffers, trade Buxton , trade Lee, trade Lewis! For what! Lee has improved at 3rd and is playing pretty well there. The same with Lewis at 1st. Let these kids settle in and let’s see what happens in the next year . Let the youngsters play and develop, keep Jeffers, Larnach and Buxton to lead and teach the youngsters. Good grief, Buxton and Larnach were mediocre at best their first 3-4 years in the bigs. Currently, have the most runs scored in the league. Our pitching is lacking. Bring up the youngster pitchers in the minors for the last half of the season to get them experience. Good grief - we aren’t gonna win the World Series this year anyway. So you trade away your hitting for pitching and now you need hitting. Absolutely stupid!
  34. Maybe Next Year
    I did the same thing!
  35. Maybe Next Year
    I absolutely loved the broadcasts! The stories and good-natured ribbing was fun to hear. There was also a lot of insight as to what they thought the pitcher would throw, the batters thought process, base stealing, hit and run etc... As for not knowing what was going on in the game all you had to do was watch your television screen. Baseball isn't that difficult to understand.
