    Casting about desperately for something positive for next year, a line-up with Buxton, Keaschall, and Martin at the top gives them some dynamic, speedy players to work with.

    The entire franchise has become impervious to embarrassment.

    These Twins games have been a nice segue into the Fall horror movie genre.

    Pereda - first impression pretty good. Pereda: " No, let me show you who I really am".

    It's easy to say "fire Rocco" - but who is the promising prospective manager who is next in line? It's better to be running toward something better than just running away from a disaster. IMO the managers are often the convenient scapegoat, and the real issue is the weak performing roster of players they're handed by the GM. As Tom Kelly said "Kirby Puckett made me a smarter manager". That being said, Falvey and Baldelli seem to be an inseparable package, so they both probably need to go.

    They went from worst to World Champions in 1991, so I guess anything is possible. But my expectations are down to the point that I'm not thinking they will contend. All I ask for 2026 is that when I go to the ballpark I'll see the home team play with some spark and at a Major League level. Best that can be hoped for.

    Baldelli has shown some flexibility to his game approach in the second half of the year, which I didn't think he had the capacity to do. He's given the green light to the speed game, which I'm a big fan of. But he drives me nuts with his alphabet soup line-ups and trying to force too many players into utility roles, among other things. Maybe that'll change too if he can get stronger players to work with.

    "If the Twins don't fully trust Edouard Julien at second base." Ha, ha, ha, ha, gasp, snort. Oh sorry, you were actually serious.

    I think Matthews will be a good pitcher, but right now he's going through the gauntlet that some (most) of them do. And once he figures it out, we trade him over to the Yankees or Red Sox!

    Must be another new statistic.

    That might have been the Twins' best game all season. They seemed totally locked in and playing hard. I have no idea where that came from. Maybe they see it as their play-off series. Woods-Richardson was an absolute beast.
  12. Nshore
    The Twins hitters must lead the league in watching pitches go by in wide eyed wonder for strikes - right down the middle of the plate. There must be a stat - there is for everything else.

    With their various weaknesses, Wallner and Larnach are both very mediocre to poor baseball players. Wallner should be fighting for his job, and he had to be woken up from a nap and was picked off 2B yesterday. The Twins should jettison them for whatever they can get and bring up some new guys.

    Molitor: "How do you like me now" ?
  15. Nshore
    Terry Ryan was fired for what Pohlad called "total system failure". I really don't see how this current operation is any different. I'm not buying the "highly rated farm system" hype. They've come full circle. Except as an added "bonus", this time they've managed to almost completely alienate the fan base in the process. Hard to see why any of them would register a heartbeat on a fan poll.
  16. Nshore
    For the most part, Falvey only wants to draft and accumulate barely competent left handed hitting outfielders, and shortstops. Causes some problems.
  17. Nshore
    I think they'd rather do something like take the "Bark at the Park" night idea and run with it. Turn the whole stadium into a pricey dog park between home stands. Fans and players will have to be very careful where they step.
  18. Nshore
    Plus Martin is smaller than Wallner and doesn't cost as much to feed. The Pohlads like that.
  19. Nshore
    I'm starting to see some resemblance between Derek Falvey and Alfred E. Neuman in Mad Magazine.
  20. Nshore
    Many commenters seem to dislike Martin, but love Wallner. I would bet my next mortgage payment that Wallner falls below the Mendoza Line by the end of the season, while Martin is currently hitting over .300. It's baseball player analysis distortion run wild!
  21. Nshore
    The Pohlads desperately need someone to step forward to be the spokesperson and articulate to the fans (and players apparently) what the heck it is that's going on. It can't be Joe Pohlad because he's probably not capable, and it's probably not "corporate word salad speak" Falvey. Without clear communication, players and fans are going to run amok and think the worst.
  22. Nshore
    Regardless of what happened to Miranda, he's not performing. And if he's slamming helmets and such when he makes outs, tantrums are pretty toxic for a team, and he needs to be shown the door.
  23. Nshore
    John Klein is the urgently sought after replacement for undrafted free agent Randy Dobnak.
  24. Nshore
    Gray's departure is water under the bridge now - but it gives them a good template for the future. If, and it's a big IF, the Twins hang on to Lopez and Ryan and sign a quality free agent starting pitcher, all of a sudden they look pretty good there with Ober and other candidates rounding out the rotation. I get lost in the doom and gloom sometimes - but really they aren't that far away from a strong rotation. Also - if the Twins fail to retain Lopez and Ryan, they probably won't be able to be taken seriously for 3 or 4 years minimum.
  25. Nshore
    Mike Veeck and Bill Murray would probably have some pretty good ideas.
