  1. I sympathize with Zoll. Tough decisions. When the Twins are this close to a Wild Card, if you're competitive at all - and want to win back the fans, it must be tough not to go all in. There's a world in which the help they get is from what they already have - hang on to Ryan, Ober or by some miracle Abel comes back strong, and Paredes and Rojas strengthen the bullpen. It'd be fun to throw Jenkins into an already high run producing line-up too. It'll be a very interesting second half.
  2. A look at the buzzsaw schedule coming up and.....they're going to need a bigger bullpen. It's probably too late to fix. They could be 10 games under pretty soon and in clear "sell" territory. Everybody - fans, writers, baristas, Uber drivers, fans' pets knew this was an issue from before day 1 of the season, and they haven't done enough to address it.
  3. I guess I don't look at the short term priorities for this team and say "I wish the left fielder could catch the ball better." That's a concern for another season.
  4. Where there's smoke there's fire. If they add instead of subtract, they might consistently catch fire. The most encouraging thing IMO is Mr. Lewis. His improvement lengthens the line-up. Give them one or two more bullpen guys, and bring up some phenoms, and the fans can have some fun down the stretch.
  5. Calvin Griffith forgot more about baseball than any Pohlad will ever know, and ultimately he couldn't make a go of it here. It's concerning. In a losing year, die hard fans will still come out to see the star players from other teams and because they enjoy the game. But most fans here need a winner. Maybe a new baseball agreement will change the economics and help the cause.
  6. Just from a crazy fans' viewpoint (such as myself) I would love to see the PHENOM Jenkins in RF next to Buxton down the stretch. Might bring more fans out to the ballpark too. Now if Jenkins comes up and goes 0 for 30 - not such a good idea. But there's one way to find out. But I realize there are very sound baseball reasons not to do it and Roden would probably be the first choice.
  7. Usually I would agree with this. But Lewis said he thought the first basemens mit looks strange. The Twins aren't dealing with a "normal" type of baseball player with this guy.
  8. I'd like to be optimistic about Lewis. But from his comments, I really don't think he gets it. He thinks everything is "fixed". It feels increasingly like the Twins are trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. Maybe best case is that they make him look as good as possible in AAA and trade him.
  9. Remove Outman?? Now you're talking crazy!
  10. You pay $70 dollars for a ticket to see the team basically phone it in. With the brutal economy among other things, then they wonder why attendance isn't better. And it isn't just the Twins. Greed is strangling the game. Go watch the Saints.
  11. You make it sound so.... so dirty. As another commenter has said, the greatest value of this year is to find out what they have. The Twins' fate of Martin, Wallner, SWR, and Lewis among others is being decided. I've always liked Martin. He has that "intangible" that can't be measured by stats. I hope he ends up being at least a 4th outfielder.
  12. One game things look so bleak I wonder if the Twins will ever win another game. Next game they might still be playoff contenders. Shelton has them incredibly scrappy and resilient. Banda looks really good. But last time I said that about Taylor Rogers he immediately went in the tank - so never mind.
