    It is now being reported Wallner is playing tomorrow in Omaha. What does he need to do to show he needs to be up here.
  2. HarmonK03
    Starters are allowed to pitch into the 7th inning, maybe somebody can inform Rocco of this fact.
  3. HarmonK03
    And the same thing was said last year when Wallner was kept in AAA for an extra month. If he's healthy, play him up here.
  4. HarmonK03
    Up by 2 runs in the 4th inning and you play the infield in. Who says Rocco doesn't manage with his spreadsheet.
  5. HarmonK03
    If he can play, he should be up here with the Twins. He has 3 HR's in 13 AB's. You are just wasting him in St. Paul
  6. HarmonK03
    RF
  7. HarmonK03
    Wallner just hit another HR, get him to Tampa and in our lineup. Quit wasting his AB's in St. Paul.

    There is no way to predict when Buxton will be activated. It is all up to the protocols. They don't seem to be in any hurry to get Wallner back so I hope he is back for Seattle but wouldn't surprised if he isn't.

    The pitch to Garcia was at the bottom of the zone and he was out in front of it, but was able to stay back just long enough to get his bat on it. Sometimes you have to tip your hat to the hitter. Ober executed his pitch, but the hitter beat him this time.

    On the usage of Stewart, I know his history but if you are not going to send him out another inning then that is a failure on the front office to not have a better option. This is the kind of move that worked in the moment and it may work in the future. But there will be times during the season that using that extra reliever will cost you in the next couple of games because someone won't be available when needed. This is where average innings isn't the factor to look at, it's the impact on the current game and series. This happened last year and I will guess moves like this will cost at least 2 to 5 games this year. I thought every game counted. My question is Lewis not running because he is hurt or is the team telling him not to open it up. Remember last year when he went on a rehab, he stole second in his first game and Rocco almost had a stroke when he found out. The Twins are very conservative with injuries which they can be, but it makes hard to know when a player is injured or being managed to avoid future injury.
  11. HarmonK03
    I doubt they would make two moves to the 40 man. My feeling is Gasper is the next man called up if someone is needed and he does not belong in the major leagues.
  12. HarmonK03
    They have two players who can handle SS in Lee and Castro and Lewis could slide there if Rocco decides to play his Jenga games as well. We could use a bat, if you are going to make a 40 man move on an unproven player bring up McCusker who would fill a potential need. We don't need a team of 10 players that can play all positions. This isn't about McCusker, this is about what the needs are with the injuries and that is a bat not another utility player.
  13. HarmonK03
    Gasper is 29 years old, there is a reason he hasn't had a shot in the majors up to this point. He is a catcher without a position defensively. He was a butcher at 2B, he made Julien look like a Gold Glover over there. I am not saying McCusker would be our savior but give him a chance, Maybe he could give us a jolt for a couple of weeks, my expectations wouldn't longer than that best case scenario. But Gasper just doesn't belong up here.
  14. HarmonK03
    They played Gasper in the OF yesterday, I think they are preparing to call him up if Bader goes on the IL. He is a not a major league player, he can hit AAA pitching and that is it. Call up McCusker and see if he can give a jolt to the lineup.
  15. HarmonK03
    Either move Sim to the bullpen or AAA, Festa or Matthews need to be in the rotation next time thru.
  16. HarmonK03
    And he hadn't played since Saturday before that. Why isn't he going in the lineup for game 2.
  17. HarmonK03
    Didn't Correa just have 3 days off?
  18. HarmonK03
    Let's not make Santana into something he's not. It was a decent signing but led to no postseason success and led to us having to sign France this year. They didn't give Miranda a chance to find out if he could handle the regular 1B job. Maybe if he showed that he couldn't they would have signed a real upgrade this year other than France. Santana leading the team in HR's and RBI with 23 and 71 says more about the rest of the team than Santana. Those were decent numbers but when leading the team not so much.
  19. HarmonK03
    This is no where similar to the Devers situation. Lee has not complained that I have heard. But the Twins and Rocco have this philosophy that players are like chess pieces and can just be moved around. There is something to be said for letting players getting comfortable and not have them guessing where they will playing from day to day. I think it would be beneficial for Lee to get comfortable at one position and see how he progresses.
  20. HarmonK03
    Fun game to watch and glad they won. Now let's take it to the Giants this weekend. They need to be competitive against the better teams to avoid a repeat of last year. Lee looked rough at 2B yesterday. Rocco quit moving him around, keep him at 2B. If Lewis needs to DH, play Castro or Bride at 3B. Not everybody can move around, let Lee get comfortable and settled in at one position.
  21. HarmonK03
    And they are bad decisions at the rate Rocco makes them. Yet you want to blame only the players.
  22. HarmonK03
    Did the players play in on their or did Rocco call that from the dugout not once but twice. Did France go on contact yesterday on his own. These are just two examples of Rocco not giving his players a chance to be successful. Yes Correa needs to play better, but he is not the reason we have the record we do.
  23. HarmonK03
    And whose job is it to make sure the younger players continue to develop so they perform the way they should. Whose job is it to put players in a position to succeed. In my opinion that is on Rocco and he and his staff does not do these things well.
  24. HarmonK03
    And how many batters has he put away, none.
  25. HarmonK03
    I have seen enough of Paddack, put Festa in his spot and move him to the bullpen.
