    You had use the “A word”, didn’t you?! Cue the endless debate on semantics.

    I have two issues with the OP one is that prospects are the currency of trades. Trading major leaguers for major leaguers doesn’t happen very often, certainly not frequently for players of consequence. Trading major leaguers for prospects, then flipping those prospects for other major leaguers can happen, that’s a lot for one off-season. That’s likely a longer term rebuild that takes you outside the current window. The hitters are old, and feeble. Secondly, this team isn’t one hitter away, and with the ownership big money wasn’t coming… Aaron Judge wasn’t going to make this a good hitting team. the OP is correct, in that this team needed more done to it to succeed, but the prescription missed

    Is that really going to happen? DH, sure, but 1&2?
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    Castro and Lewis active, Gasper and Julien demoted. Clemens stuck on the roster over Julien. Lewis 3rd base Lee 2nd base Castro utility?
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    His .615 OPS ranks 11 on this team, one and two on the list are injured…. he can help for the time being, that’s plenty from him
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    What if Parfigliano has to take one for the team? Like a sacrice fly?

    Gary Gaetti

    Earned runs. The unearned ones don’t count. the offense is super pathetic, but so is the fielding

    Not me

    51%? He could be bound and gagged in the dugout, and all we’d hear is “put away your spreadsheet Rocco”. It was a stupid call that cost two runs. 2 runs should not be insurmountable. Rocco doesn’t throw a pitch, or swing a bat. the players gotta play, Falvey needs to get some players who can play. and yes, Rocco needs to manage like he knows what he’s doing.

    TOOTBLAN!
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Just the right amount of shabby not a single .800 OPS in the lineup, and the closest is a catcher
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Dont forget the Pohlads also want to keep managing the team that they’ve mismanaged into a sharp decline LOL some people’s kids…
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’ve been to two, my third is this week

    Here’s the thing with ERA, the runs have to be earned. Last year Twins pitchers were punished by ERA in part because the fielders behind them were statues. Lowest range metrics in MLB last year and lowest errors. They weren’t charged with errors because none of them could get to the dang ball. this year, Buxton and Bader in the outfield swings the range metrics quite a bit ranked 12 in MLB (way too early for sample sizes, but I’m going with it anyways). But man that infield… France is short, he’s scooping the digs OK, but a couple throws per week sail by a couple inches that 5’10” Carlos Santana would have stabbed. Lee and Correa are good, but that’s only two of the three, which brings us to the old school .981 fielding percentage, 25th in baseball with 21 errors tied for 7th most. last year ERA was ballooned by the crap fielding, this year buoyed by it.

    Well said Nick!

    Gotta pull that a little more Clem!
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    Or move Paddack to the pen and bring Festa/Mathews up to start
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    I think Jax comes back out
