    I personally think Correa’s comments were aimed mainly towards Kepler. Just a bunch of circumstantial evidence, reading between the lines—plus those two just feel like they mix worse than oil and water. No first hand knowledge.

    The Twins are still wondering what their everyday lineup should be. Five more game to figure it out.

    The Twins get one more mulligan. After that, it becomes a ‘win-out’ scenario and hope one of Detroit or KC loses their final series. Speaking of, the hurricane might have an impact. I can see the Braves and Royals possibly needing to play a doubleheader Saturday or Sunday. Crazy.

    Good point about managing egos. Another example of having the wrong voice in the clubhouse is the White Sox hiring Tony LaRussa a few years ago. That decision will set back the franchise for years. The ironic thing is that all the White Sox had to do is get an actual manager, keep their good players, make a few tweaks, and they would still be really good.

    Agree. I think it was easier to keep tabs when people had regular beats or regular days. There are only so many hours in a day to track down everyone’s podcasts.

    I have 100% observed the same thing, for a long time. It is called Access Journalism and it is alive and well in this town. You have to wait on the occasional commentary from someone like Reusse, Rand or Scoggins, or catch Barreiro on the radio or maybe the Skor North guys podcasts, don't know if they are coming around or not all the way, because I don't catch them much. Game threads have also been a good place for honest conversation lately. 🙂

    Sometime between 2022 and 2023, Lewis went from franchise cornerstone to utility infielder. The team has treated him as such, and it has been evident in his comments to the media and play on the field. He is playing exactly to expectations. I’m sure there is data that will either confirm or deny that. I think Lewis comes up big at least one more time in 2024. At some point, wouldn’t we want to see the team take a chance on one of their young guys and lock them up like KC did with Witt? Maybe Jenkins will be that guy once they have flexibility for that sort of thing again. I would have rolled the dice on Lewis.

    It’s always the offense’s fault. A late two-run lead is a two-run lead, regardless if the score is 3-1 or 7-5. I guess that applies more to the last Cleveland series than the Boston series. On the radio, Molitor mentioned the top of the sixth inning, when the score was 3-2. The Twins batters needed to work some counts there and not give Boston a quick inning to get back to the bat rack right away. Instead, the Twins did not take any strikes and saw a total of five pitches. A couple of hard hit balls that went for outs but that’s how it goes. More important is you need to make Bostons guys stand out in the field a bit and cool them off. “But that’s old fashioned thinking nowadays”, Molitor said.

    The Detroit Tigers story still feels too Cinderella-y yet they keep winning
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I guess this could be another thing that is directed from the executive suite. Either way, yuck.

    Pulling your best players out of a game when it’s only 8-1 after the sixth inning. Especially given where we are in the season and who we are playing. Only justification is I assume Buxton and Correa will be in the lineup for Game 2. Trigger warning: I have never seen a manager signal ‘Quit’ to his team like this manager does. Like Dan Gladden said recently, I think during the game Rocco pulled his starters out of the game they lost to the Reds, that Gladden never knew of a single player at any time who ever thought they were out of a baseball game in the middle innings, regardless the score.

    and bad coffee
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Vikings are 2-2 in converting third downs today already, which I think is the equivalent of the Twins batting with RISP
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Actually it coincides more with the football calendar here 🙂

    It’s a Sunday, but I am trying to get hold of someone in state government today, to verify my jinx-proof license was renewed
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You rarely see managers change umpires minds…
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Justifiably, yes
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No you don’t have that right. 🙂 Also Rocco blew up in a game against Toronto a couple years ago.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    lol Alex Cora knows he’s gone after this season
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Lineup this morning looks a lot like a postseason lineup: Buxton CF Larnach DH Correa SS Wallner RF Lewis3B Castro, W LF JeffersC Santana1B Farmer, 2B
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Heard a stat that the Twins are 7-1 in doubleheaders this year. bold prediction: Pablo dominates and Twins win Game 1, and between game Boston packs their suitcases and starts making restaurant reservations for next Monday, Twins win by double digits in the second game. Just don’t tell the state that I didnt renew my jinx-proof license this year.

    I honestly had a strong feeling Jarren Duran might try to steal home in the bottom of the 9th. Didn’t happen, though. Duran is one of the only players on the Red Sox who seems to have any passion left. (Caveat: did not watch last night’s game, followed it on MLB.com and radio) Both teams had already demonstrated their ineptitude by the 9th inning—if only Jarren Duran had known what was still to come in the 10th and 11th 🙂

    What I saw was Glen Perkins hurting his shoulder overthrowing in the 2015 All Star Game. Addison Reed, you are probably right. Ryan Pressly and Taylor Rogers did ok throughout the Molitor years. I was actually going to update this thread this morning--would people rather have Alex Cora or Rocco Baldelli as manager? undisciplined or dysfunctional? I would take Rocco & dysfunction any day. It looks like it's the inmates running the asylum in Boston. They have become just another completely mediocre baseball team since 2018, and it's been all under Cora and the new wave of players they are bringing in.

    Now, about the decision to walk Thomas ahead of Gimenez. While setting up the possibility for a double play makes sense, Thomas is strikeout prone and was 0-for-1 with a walk in his career against Thielbar. In fact, Thomas has struck out in 40.9% of his at-bats since being traded to Cleveland. Gimenez was 3-for-7 with a double and a triple lifetime against Thielbar and now he's 4-for-8. Baldelli clearly thought he was making the right decision and Thielbar was going to face Gimenez one way or another, but it might've lit a fire under Gimenez and he made Baldelli and the Twins pay. https://www.si.com/mlb/twins/minnesota-twins-news/thanks-rocco-new-video-shows-andres-gimenez-trolling-twins-manager-01j87qfxjvfm

    Manzardo in this series against the Twins: 6 for 9, with 2 HR, 2 walks, 4 RBI. Hit the game winner in game 1.
