No, it just didn’t help very much, did it? In the risk vs reward judgement, high risk low reward, usually means it shouldn’t be a strategy to rely on. akin to “my retirement plan is winning the lottery”- 28 replies

No way! TC would totally go feral on the Phanatic. The real question is scoop up the Phanatic bits out of TC’s poop, or mop up the puddle with a bucket

I had a noon meeting too. Even with lunch provided they suck

You don’t empty it at every stop you make?

If the Twins were looking to compete in the next 1-2 years, would they have gutted 40% of the roster for Jack-squat?

Twins TV and Radio Announcers. How do they Rank?

Provus have a Bremergasm?! Perish the thought! -
get him! Get the heretic! I would also add Hatch looks like he could be a decent reliever. what a dumpster fire of a season

They tanked last year, and year before, not eligible for the lotto edit: ninja’d

Most relievers do

Desperately searching for a silver lining… Hatch as a reliever looks like a decent major league pitcher. that’s all I got, and it’s pretty pathetic

Ponying up for a ticket today and one tomorrow?

The roster has changed too. You can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear, but you can make dog chews. Expecting Rocco to call an old school game with players who’ve never played an old school game since little league is a recipe for failure. Swap out some players who have a lower upside but better fundamentals because they were developed outside of the Twins will give any manager a different skill set to work with. all this being said, eff it, blow it all up, this team is a mess.

To your other point and this one, agreed wholeheartedly that Baldelli is a problem but not THE problem. i don’t really understand to what level Baldelli is responsible for organizational player development. Certainly the major league hitters are not developing under his management of the major league staff. Pitchers seem to be, evidenced by Ryan, SWR, and a whole bunch of relievers taking steps forward as major leaguers. he is clearly not a strong tactician, but also hasn’t hired strong tactical bench/pitching coaches. A good business manager knows his strengths and hires lieutenants that have complimentary skills. I hope a new manager might do this, but am fairly certain we’ll get another Baldelli for as long as Falvey is the GM

The Woonsocket Rocket has 6 years of experience as a major league manager. How long should a person do their job before they should be considered “experienced”?

To be fair, their 9 hitter has a better OPS than all but 4 Twins hitter

Second inning 10-2 my season ticket buddy looked at me, says “ill just throw it out there, that leaving now is an option”. we stuck it out and had a ton of fun watching a loser.

Richie the Rally Goat replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
How bad could the Marlins radio guys be to be ranked that much worse than Gladden? -
It may have been about developing Zebby. About 30% of the fans were wearing Yankees gear, they were really into the game for the first couple innings.
