    TWINS WIN!!!!!!!!!! I don't care how the season has been going (okay, I do), but that was badly needed for fans, coaches, and most importantly players. Let's try to build off of it. Nice to see Miggy come through in a huge spot.

    OH MY GOD. ARE GOOD THINGS hAPPENING!!! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

    JFC. this is like watching a train wreck that you can’t look away from.

    Probability in that situation of scoring 0 runs is 14 percent, with an expected runs of 1.74.

    I have never, ever seen a more frustrating team in my lifetime. It’s one thing to be bad when you expect to be bad. You come into the year with no expectations and just enjoy the season and evaluation phase where you’re hoping for the future. This surely isn’t that. This team was supposed to be good. This team SHOUOD be good. Take TSF 1.0 and multiple it by 10, and this is what the 2021 version of the Twins are. 6 wins over the past 34 days. Think about how bad that is!

    Garver has an OPS+ of 105, so better than league average. I think he’s hitting fine with room to grow. Sano has obviously been horrible. I agree on Donaldson as I’ve previously stated. I think twins fans undervalue Simmons on the market, but that’s just a personal opinion. There’s a good chance we’ll find out. I strongly disagree that berrios and buxton are behind those three you listed at the top of your message. Buxton has been a top 5 hitter in all of baseball this year and would get a HUGE return. Polanco would get a good return if he stays hitting the way he has the past 15 games, but clubs will want a bigger sample. Berrios easily has more value than Rogers, and it’s not even close. Jose is a top 40 starter and young to be on the trade market. Relievers just aren’t worth that much prospect wise unless you’re a Josh hader or Aroldis Chapman. Rogers is very good, but he isn’t that. As for Arraez, he wasn’t featured in this series as I see absolutely no avenue where he is traded. He I were to rank him, I think I would have him ranked 4th behind Kenta. He’s a very good hitter with a unique skillset in today’s game, but he doesn’t really have a defensive position (he’s bad at 2nd and bad in the OF), and doesn’t have the power most teams want out of a DH. I personally think the value of having Arraez on the team would outweigh whatever you were to get back for him.

    This is a good point and something that could surely happen. I just don’t think the front office is ready to tear down and give up on this year yet, which was stated in an article on the Athletic by Aaron Gleeman a few days ago. I doubt it changed this quickly, but if the Yankees blow your socks off with an offer, I think you have to take it. Just for fun, a few players I could see potentially headlining a deal are Luis Medina, Austin Wells, or Luis Gil (former Twin sent in the Jake Cave deal)

    His defense hasn’t been the gold glove caliber that we’ve seen in the past, no, but it’s still above major league average. He also has the reputation for being a very good defender which definitely holds weight around the league. Personally, out of all the expiring deals (Happ, Pineda, Simmons, Cruz, Robles, Colome), I think the best prospect return you see is for Simmons. Big Mike could fetch a better return, but right now I lean Simmons on that group of players.
  9. Mill1634
    Yep. I see no reason to let him keep throwing at AA. it’s clear that he’s more than talented enough for that level. Get him up to SP, give him 25-35 innings until the ASG, and if things are still encouraging, get him up. He’s 27 years old and already in the bullpen. It’s not like you’re screwing with his development or ruining a top prospect if you call him up too fast. He pretty much is what he is at this point, whether it turns out to be good or bad. I’d much rather see him get evaluated at the MLB level than Derek law/Shaun Anderson/Brandon Waddell

    Another lifeless outing. All in all, I don’t think shoemaker pitched horribly, but he left too many pitches over the zone and the A’s crushed them. How the A’s won today is how the twins beat teams in 2019. Sure stinks to be on the other side of it. Another loss, another day of me questioning when some heat will come on the front office/Rocco/wes Johnson and the hitting coaches. This has been a total system failure. Even worse than 1.0 TSF. If there wasn’t any doubt about it before, it’s gone now. This team is DEAD. Call up Nick Gordon, Dakota Chalmers, Lewis Thorpe, and Dobnak to see what they have so we can make informed decisions on the 2022 roster. Throwing out Derek law, Kyle Garlick (he’s been good, but likely isn’t on the 2022 roster), shoemaker, and Caleb Thielbar do nothing. It’s time for the front office to shift their focus from “winning” to “talent identification, and the sooner the better

    Good read. I wasn’t a huge fan of the trade at the time, but I think this is a case where both teams come out as “winners”. Pressly has been good for the Astros, and Alcala is a decent MR with room to grow forward. Celestino is a wild card here, and at the floor is a 4th OF.
  12. Mill1634
    Anytning is possible, but with each passing day (and loss) it gets less and less likely. Eventually you have to shift your focus and expectations onto the future, and I think we’re nearly, if not already, to that point. I think Robles will be traded. Same with Pineda. There’s nothing stopping you from trading them and then resigning them if there’s truly interest in bringing them back.

    Yennier Cano with another scoreless outing for the AA ballclub. 27 years old signed just a few years ago. 1.55 ERA, 6.2 IP, 12 K's. Get him up. Now.
  15. Mill1634
    I, for one, am shocked that Sano struck out there /s
  16. Mill1634
    Good inning Derek Law!
  17. Mill1634
    Missing on the outside corner as an ump is one thing, but you cannot give anything on the inside corner. This coming from an umpire.
  18. Mill1634
    60 day DL
  19. Mill1634
    Welp..shoemaker pitched relatively well, but the long ball really bit him in the butt.
  20. Mill1634
    Twins have to lead the league in pop-ups during hitters counts
  21. Mill1634
    I'd put that play under the "necessary" category, personally
  22. Mill1634
    That balls off the wall in 2019, btw
  23. Mill1634
    Twins with some very loud outs thus far
  24. Mill1634
    Donaldson could've crawled to first faster than that
  25. Mill1634
    Nice to see Rortvedt (finally) hit something hard
