    I won't be shocked if Baldelli and the hitting coach take the fall, but his is 90% on the FO. Taylor, Solano, Castro, Gallo are known backups. Kepler is also (or worse). They appear to be 100% wrong on Vazquez, and somehow CC has forgotten how to hit. That's, like, nearly every player that plays every day. Then there is Buxton not being a shell of himself. I'm not sure how Baldelli is supposed to fill out a lineup card, given ALL THREE OF on the roster are backups at best, the SS can't hit, the C they signed can't hit, and their DH is not good......

    You think no one sees that? CC and AK are very disappointing. No idea what to do there....but I'd suggest a change in hitting coaches and philosophy and see if that works miraculously. They 100% should DFA Gallo and Kepler at this point. They are what they are, and this team, as built, can't win playoffs. Start the "youth" movement now.
  3. Mike Sixel
    We have no idea what the locker room is like. But I'm hoping that something changes, because this is unwatchable.
  4. Mike Sixel
    And the FO does nothing..... Inexcusable that Vazquez was playing, let alone hitting with a runner on late in a game.
  5. Mike Sixel
    all 2? Really?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Now he pinch hits? With no one on base? Good golly miss molly.
  7. Mike Sixel
    The roster is on the FO, not the manager, correct. He can only play the guys he's given. doesn't excuse Vazquez batting there at all (or even being in the lineup, that's on Rocco).
  8. Mike Sixel
    Well, he's the worst hitter on the team....I don't know, maybe pinch hit?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Inexcusable.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Is Rocco even awake?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Vazquez is batting? W. T. H?
  12. Mike Sixel
    What would you realistically do with either if you were the manager? They aren't sitting all the time.
  13. Mike Sixel
    They are close to the best team in baseball, so I'm not sure they are making them look more "good than necessary." That said, Twins are closer to the worst team in baseball than the best, and it has been how long for this FO?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Truth. didn't see him being this effective. Nice bonus for sure.
  15. Mike Sixel
    hahahahahahahaha. Seriously, that was pathetically "funny". How anyone can continue to defend this FO is beyond me. And I'm done with Rocco at this point, unless Julien is hurt.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Two nil, is this game over? Maybe.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Ha, no. They have three "young" players on this roster. Three.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Lee's been good, just not dominant like many of us hoped. Would be nice to have one insanely fast riser, great player rise up under this FO.
  19. Mike Sixel
    A 6 ERA, and they look futile. But sure, the FO should stay while they do nothing to adjust....nothing. Nada. Nil. Zip.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Alcala, Stewart, Thielbar all hurt. Sands ineffective. Henriquez just back. De Leon hurt. That's 4 decent to good RPs hurt, and two that likely aren't that good, though Henriquez at least intrigues me. Look, we can look at all the anecdotes we want, but Gleeman has posted very compelling stats. Pagan has been the worst RP in baseball for four years when it comes to adding value in indiividual games and relative ERA. There is no reason to have him on the roster. He's PROVEN to be bad for four years now. I don't care which minor leaguer they call up to replace him. That person has not proven to be the worst in baseball. WInder and Balazovich should be in MN, either thriving or failing. This team is NOT a good team, so find out what those two have. Put them in positions of stress, and see what happens.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I must have misunderstood your post.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Where would you put him in AAA, given larnach, Wallner, Celestino, Stevenson, and Contreras are there? I mean, at the beginning of the year, when that's how the pecking order was, would you have put him in AAA?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Whe even come in the thread, then, if you aren't interested? Dude was hurt for two years, and the pandemic years didn't help.....he's healthy and playing very well. Good for him. I guess one can choose not to be happy for him.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Ya, but I've even reduced the game threads lately......I'm all in on the minor leagues and draft stuff right now, which I think tells one everything about what I think about THIS team.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I've given up on this year. My investment is in firing the FO, promoting the "kids", and starting over. I pay attention to the score, but I have no illusions that this team is good.
