    The lack of additions during the off season spoke volumes as to what to expect this season. The bullpen they started the season with wasn’t good enough for double A. Taking Morris out of the rotation has left them one more starter short as injuries have piled up. Taking a shot at Kremer was worth a chance but lottery tickets like him seldom are enough band aid enough to stop the bleeding. He hasn’t been able to go deep enough in games to say it worked out.

    Nice to see Zebby showing some real confidence. The front office needs to make some moves this off season. It’s time to move this franchise in a winning direction. Example trade two left handed hitting outfielders for a solid mid to late inning reliever. What they did last offseason is not going to work.

    Stick a fork in em they are done. Time to call up the prospects and find out what you have for next year. I am not disappointed with what they did at the deadline but it’s time to evaluate what you have and make a plan for the future. They need to make some real moves this offseason to address there shortcomings. Any player on this roster is tradeable if the right deal comes along.

    Comparing the last two seasons is really silly. Some of the bonehead decisions from last year are being lived out this year aka Varland trade. Example of this is Andrew Morris being used as a set up reliever. While he has had a good season as a whole his best use still may be a starter. The hole they dug last year will not be fixed in a single season.

    I would say Buck is about 55%. Time to let the youth have a crack. If that means IL then so be it. The bullpen was bound to have a set back or two.
  6. Glorybound
    He is young. Should be good to go next year.
  7. Glorybound
    Patience will be rewarded I feel. This season is becoming the proving ground for a solid team. I still don’t think they make the playoffs but I have to give them credit for a team that while is often frustrating, are fun to watch.

    I have to give Zoll some real credit for the deadline deals that they made. This bullpen is decent since the deadline. I think back to all the deadlines that came and went with Falvley and not much positive was ever accomplished. The defense is borderline horrible yet here we are.
  9. Glorybound
    I think they have painted themselves into a corner in this one. I guess we will have to see how it plays out. Going all in has consequences as they are about to find out.

    With Joe Ryan and Buck on the shelf this team is going to have to rediscover itself. It’s a long way to the top. The next ten games are going to tell a lot whether this team can hang with the top of the division.
  11. Glorybound
    Without Buck this offense is toothless. Hard to play meaningful games in September if you are out of it August.
  12. Glorybound
    Lewis won’t make that mistake again. It’s just one of those things that happens and experience is a better teacher than any coach.
  13. Glorybound
    Amazing ending for sure. With the exception of two swings of the bat the Twins were completely outplayed this series. Time to wake the rest of the bats up.
  14. Glorybound
    I am not getting the feeling that this team is playoff bound. Buck’s hip hasn’t been right for a while and his performance shows it.
  15. Glorybound
    I still don’t think this is a playoff team. I think trading for rental starting pitching is more than a bit foolish. If they can’t get Buck healthy they for sure won’t make the playoffs.
  16. Glorybound
    The 26 Twins don’t have enough bullpen to win close games down the stretch. The time to trade Ryan is now when his value is the greatest. If they still had Varland and a healthy Banda then I might think differently. At this point it’s the hand they have been dealt time to recognize it for what it is.
  17. Glorybound
    It’s not about winning or losing a trade that makes this deal just down right stupid. It’s the fact that the Twins were going to need a closer after trading away Duran. Varland was cheap and controllable, both of what the Twins need. Not having a closer this season is very telling how serious they are about winning in 26. Any one with a bit of foresight could see Varland was capable of some high leverage late inning possibilities. Those guys don’t grow on trees by the way. You can’t fix stupid.
  18. Glorybound
    Is he healthy enough to turn loose? He is relatively young yet so I think they are trying to be careful not to compromise his future. It’s not like his team is in first place and he is needed to keep his team on top of the division.
  19. Glorybound
    I am for upgrading the roster anyway possible. Having Varland on this years team might very well have them in first place in their division today. So with that said there has to be a plan or all the trades in the world will likely put you back to square one. I think last years trade deadline plan was written on a napkin and it got so smudged no one could read it. Have a plan and execute it.

    The grittiness of Shelton’s team is quite evident. I would give Buck some of the credit for positive leadership also. Things that have been lacking the last couple of seasons. The Abel injury sounds serious.
  21. Glorybound
    So we have a crappy bullpen and now we are considering trading the one guy who has consistently been able to close games? This is the most absurd article I have ever read on TD. Simply makes zero sense.
  22. Glorybound
    Ever since he said he didn’t do slumps he has struggled up until his last ten games. It’s like the mental part of the game is the hardest for him. Recently in an interview he did when he was in St Paul he mentioned once again that he was the first player taken in his draft. If he still has to tell us that he is special then all hope might be lost. He needs to just focus on the next pitch, the next at bat, the next game and quit the crap about where he was drafted. True superstars live for their next chance and don’t worry about the last game or what happened yesterday. There is reason to believe he can still be an all star but he needs to quit looking backward. I believe his problems are 100% mental.
  23. Glorybound
    This bullpen misses few bats. Hard to see this changing much without some talent infusion of some sort.
  24. Glorybound
    I was never on board that this was a .500 team. Might as well continue with the rebuild at the trade deadline. Once you start a rebuild as they clearly did last season you have to continue the process. There is a chance that they have some future stars in the young players but one never knows for sure. The mental makeup of some of the developing players might need some refining. Royce Lewis comes to mind and maybe a couple of pitchers fall into this category as well.
  25. Glorybound
    Momma said there would be days I mean seasons like this. Hopefully Lewis is ready to roll from this point forward. His team needs him to be a lot more than he has been this season.
