    Maybe Royce should burn his bats and start over with a complete new set of bats. Seriously.

    As I used to say when there was a shakeup in my law office, "Let the church roll on".

    I feel badly for Royce Lewis, but it is time to send him down so he can try to change this awful spiral. Keeping him playing at this level has got to be debilitating mentally for Lewis. He knows it, we know it, Shelton knows it. Who is keeping Lewis on the major league roster? Zoll? Pohlad?

    If I were pitching to Royce, he would only see low and outside. Every pitch.

    and Banda.
  6. tarheeltwinsfan
    Please, please, please get rid of Banda.

    Hooray for Zebby. I enjoyed seeing a North Carolina battery combo having success...just like the North Carolina battery combo of Ober and Jeffers two days ago. Now lets just bring up another North Carolinian, Walker Jenkins and a SS who played at a North Carolina university, Wake Forest. Yep, Marek Houston. Hopefully the Twins will draft my lefthanded pitching North Carolinian grandson in a few years. North Carolinians Jim Perry and Mark Davidson would be so proud.

    Did Bill Krueger have the fewest number of pitches in a Twins shutout at 85 in 1992 or Carlos Silva at 74 in 2005?

    Great post by a true baseball fan. Thanks Knothole.

    Varite Varitek and Wieters both had good solid hitting catching careers. I don't know how to rate their catching acumen or defense.

    As Twins fans, straws are all we have to grasp.

    I agree with you about the Bader deal. The Correa salary dump was the correct thing to do, but the article stated the deal "cleared" Correa's salary. I feel "cleared" means wiped clean. I was just reminding everyone that the Twins still owed Correa $33,000,000. I agree the C-4 deal substantially lowered the debt that the Twins owed to Correa, but to me, still owing $33,000,000 is not a clearing. It is more a smudging. LOL. I do appreciate your comments. They made good sense to me.

    The Twins did not need Roden, even at his best. He is another AAAA left-handed hitting corner OF and France was leaving any way. So it was basically Rojas for a team-controlled, fan favorite, Varland. It would have been an inexpensive benefit to have had Varland on today's ( and for years to come) Twins team. Last time I checked, the game of baseball is still 9 innings. Relief pitching wins and loses games, particularly when even the best starters only go 5-7 innings. Outman for Stewart was a predictable mistake. I'll give Falvey credit for trading a disgruntled Jax for Bradley. But all the other "deals" must have been learned from a flawed book, entitled. "The Art of the Deal".

    The Twins didn't fully "clear Correa's contract" by giving him to Houston. There remains the "small" matter of $33,000,000 still owed by the Twins to Carlos. This whole Correa matter did not turn out well for the Twins organization financially. It just kept getting worse and the Twins are still paying.

    I submit that 1B is Lee's best position and that he could be a gold glover at 1B. Ironically 1B has been the Twins biggest positional need. (This excludes pitching.)

    No

    There is no magic here. The Guardians are a better team and they want to win and will do what they must to achieve their goals. The Guardians walk the walk, while the Twins talk the talk.

    Outstanding article Matthew. I nominate it for best TD article of the month. It takes a real baseball mind to have written this. The analyses of numerous variables at play during each sequence was fascinating.. During games in high school when I wasn't pitching, our coach had me coach third base. But our team was so bad that I had little to do as the third base coach. I mainly just used my "superior intellect" to yell what I thought were funny things at the opposing pitcher. "Stick a fork in him, he's all done", and whenever one of the opposition fielders made an error, I might yell: "Yea, we've got your back pitcher." I even had a trick play where from the third base coach's box, I would fake a run toward home plate, hoping to distract the pitcher. I've never seen that ridiculous play of mine done anywhere else. I wonder why? Hmmmm.

    If I were an inexperienced rookie pitcher, I would throw exactly what a veteran catcher calls every time.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    Would Ober be a good reliever?
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    No.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Culpepper may need another month or two, but as a fan, I could sure use some help now.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    I don't understand your point?
