  1. How do you equate Outman and Correa. They play two completely separate roles and money is not a consideration with Outman.
  2. They signed Caratini because he could also play 1B. They are so focused on positional flexibility they don't seem to evaluate whether the player can play one position well or even if they can be a valuable contributor to a winning team. They need to shift their focus and not be so focused on positional flexibility. One utility player is fine but you don't need a whole roster of them.
  3. Everyone mentions Lewis but not Gray's strikeout. They both failed in that situation.
  4. Gray is on a three game hitting streak, so if he plays to give someone a day off that works. But I worry that his small stretch of success will lead to regular playing time when the results taper off. This is what they have done with Clemens, he had a three week hot stretch in May last year and is still getting regular playing time. They really need to decide what to do with Wallner, he looks lost. I still believe in him but I am not sure it will happen here in Minnesota even with a reset in St. Paul. He is not a young prospect anymore, if they send him they need to commit to others like ERod and only recall Wallner on a last resort basis. Bell needs to play 1B which he was signed to clear the logjam of DH types and give the deserving players AB's in the outfield.
  5. Listening to Justin you would think that every reliever in baseball has a sub 1 ERA. Stop making excuses, other teams have figured out how to hit relief pitchers maybe we need to as well.
  6. It looks like they are going to play thru a light rain most of the game.
  7. I am not interested in 10 or 15 games maybe being a little better. I want them to get better this year and going forward. Playing Lewis, Lee, and Keaschall will provide information if they can be part of the team going forward. And if not they can hopefully make better roster decisions for next year for replacement players. It is way too early to give up on these three players completely.
  8. The solution will not come from Gray, Arcia or Kreidler, they are only band-aids. Gray is not a defensive upgrade over Lewis. And he will exposed quickly if he plays every day. He is the Kody Clemens of 2026, he has a few timely hits and everyone thinks he will do that on a daily basis. Lewis needs to play this year, if he can't improve than they need to make a decision before next season on whether to move on or not. Keaschall has 68 games at 2B in the major leagues, give him time to see if he can improve his defense. Other players have improved after coming up, not everyone is a finished product especially with the Twins philosophy of anyone can play anywhere. This is not helping the players develop in the minors be ready when they come up. I am frustrated with the hitting and the defense but unless you have clear upgrades for the infield and not AAAA types, you need to ride with Lewis, Lee and Keaschall.
  9. And he gets AB's over Martin, what does Martin have to do to get in the lineup.
  10. There is a forecaster for fantasy baseball and he is typically accurate. He thinks the game will play with a potential delay near the end of the game.
  11. Unfortunately this is who SWR is. He can get thru the lineup one time and then struggles after that. We have two plus years showing us this. Maybe he can figure it out. But at some point he needs to be considered for the bullpen if he can't. Of course we do need some options and hopefully there will be some soon.
  12. Give us a list of the kids on this team. There is plenty of experience on this team and not nearly enough kids that makes me buy into this argument.
  13. You need offense, so the answer is to put Outman in the lineup and sit Martin.
  14. That is the way it is in all sports, more time is given to top picks because more time and dollars are expended to develop these players. I do think Lewis needs to figure it out this year or else the Twins need to consider another direction. But I don't really want to see a bottom of the barrel FA or AAAA type be signed to replace him if that is the direction they go.
  15. Yes Lewis is the third baseman for the year, that is not going to change. Gray or Kreidler are not the answer.
  16. A bench with both Gray and Kreidler needs to be a no go. One of them to back up short is enough. I am not in favor of moving Lee around. When Culpepper comes up, they need to commit to keeping him up for the year.
  17. Why is everyone in such a rush to send Keaschall down to St. Paul. There are no replacements for him. Gray, Kreidler or Clemens are not going to solve any problems and or even be an average placeholder. Gray and Kreidler have not looked that spectacular on defense. Are they an upgrade maybe, but just because everyone says they are the defensive saviors does not mean they are. Have some patience with Keaschall, he only has a 100 AB's this year and under 300 for his career. With no one beating down the door to replace him, keep running him out there and keep him at 2B. Other teams show patience and have been rewarded. At some point our young players have to start adjusting. Is it coaching, lack of coaching or something else. If it is lack of talent, then the whole organization needs to be blown up from Zoll on down and start over. If it is coaching, hopefully Shelton and this current coaching staff can unlock what is needed.
  18. @Patzky did you like that play from Lewis better?
  19. I was wondering the same thing. Have the hitters been told not to challenge pitches anymore.
  20. He got the out, not every thing Royce does is bad.
  21. Austin just keeps producing, play him every day. It was great that Shelton didn't try and force Outman in the lineup. But it begs the question, why is Outman on the roster
