    Just like any job hire in any occupation, I'm sure there are many reasons why the FO chose Shelton as the most qualified to be the next manager. So rather than passing any judgment on either the FO or Shelton, let's give the guy a chance to see what he can do with the lowly Twins team. In spite of their successes with other teams, there is no guarantee that the other candidates would do a better job as Twins manager.

    (Still a Dobnak fan here) Yep. Poor defense will bite a pitcher in most cases. However, to his credit, Dobnak struck out the first five batters he faced; seven of the first nine. That disastrous fourth inning prevented a great overall performance. Obviously, he had trouble getting through the second go-around. But he recovered in the fifth inning not allowing a base runner. He appears to be pitching better since joining his new team. Perhaps the "change of scenery" is helping. Time will tell.

    Although it may seem immaterial to most of you, Dobnak is doing better at Toledo. And although it's just considered "small sample size" (3 starts), he has pitched 12 2/3 innings, giving up 4 runs, 13 hits, 5 BB, 16 K. His ERA is still high but has lowered from 7.31 to 6.38.

    Hurray for dogs!!! "Man's best friend". I have a refrigerator magnet which says " I prefer dogs over people". A dog is more respectful of another dog (most are, anyway). Maybe that is something humans can learn from them.

    Great letter Cody. It should gives all who read it pause to think. NO ONE deserves to receive death threats or hate mail. No one is perfect and no fan should expect perfection from any sports player. Players feel frustrations from their poor performances, just as anyone would in their jobs. Although people can feel remorse for spieling negative or hateful comments, (as in the case of a fan yelling a derogatory comment about Marte's mother,) they should be aware that the damage is already done. I was once told "words said in anger can never be taken back". It's true. The recipient of the angry comment may live with that comment forever. I mention that from experience. I hope Bailey Ober and his wife receive some necessary counseling to heal from this inhumane experience. (I know. Dumb post. But I just had to say this!)

    "Has there ever been anything good to say about him?" Sorry, but there are many people who don't display such negativity about him. And I guess there are some people who are just naturally negative.

    Hold on a minute, Bud! If any pitcher should be sent back to AA it should be Raya. It appears that some "prospects" are rushed through the system as soon as they show some inkling of potential. And BTW, have you EVER had ANYTHING good to say about Dobnak?! ☹️

    Due to his poor performance yesterday, I'd been wondering when the Dobnak naysayers would come flying out of the woodwork to comment on this board. I guess they're now starting. ☹️

    I don't watched the broadcasts, but if they were referring to the Twins bullpen, I wonder what was in the kook-aid they were drinking!

    I know what you mean. I don't have a computer and have to type on a phone also. In fact, looking at what I typed yesterday, I typed "Twos" team instead of "Twins" team. I should proof-read what I type before posting it. So, I guess we're "even". 🥴

    Who's Donna? No one in the Twins organization that I know of. I have a cousin named Donna but she's not on the Two s team. 😏

    "the Twins need a plan". Is there anyone of those top honchos smart enough to devise a smart plan?
  33. djm24
    What you said is spot on.

    It's too bad Baldelli wasn't fired after the Twins collapse and Francona wasn't then hired. "Tito" retired from the Guardians but then wanted to get back into managing a team. Too bad the Twins didn't hire him before the Reds got to him. IMO, he's a great manager. I don't profess to know if the Reds are better or worse than the Twins (but at this point it seems better). But at least the Reds won a game!!!

    Correction,: McCaughan, the "ace" reliever, was signed during the OFFseason, not "last season", as I originally posted. My mistake.
