    Yes the home run and double count for nothing. Yes the last two AB's he was back to reaching, but's let see if that continues for a few games before condemning him. Not every at bat is going to be perfect.

    Thank you for the comments and I agree mostly. The reason I think Falvey knew more, was he had to have some level of visibility to the financials of the Twins organization in his position. So by 2023 I would think he would have had some knowledge of how sustainable that payroll is. But as you say, none of us know for sure, but I don't think all the blame goes on the Pohlads, Falvey deserves his share as well.

    Good job Royce!!!
  4. HarmonK03
    DFA him before he gets back to the dugout.
  5. HarmonK03
    The Royce haters on here appear that they don't like success.
  6. HarmonK03
    We literally have only one starter in AAA. He is here to stay at least until we get people back from the IL.
  7. HarmonK03
    Who do we have to replace him. Do you want two bullpen games every time thru the rotation.
  8. HarmonK03
    And sit Lewis?
  9. HarmonK03
    I have actually been to a game there, not a bad park. It doesn't stand out in my mind, but it was a nice experience.
  10. HarmonK03
    That is kind of the point, Luke doesn't have near the experience and is still learning. Not everyone comes a polished product.
  11. HarmonK03
    Are you even watching the game, Larnach is the one who hit into a double play.
  12. HarmonK03
    I don't totally disagree, I think they have always been slow on bringing up players. In Sabato's case he might be a late bloomer, why not find out. Do you really think Bell is all of a sudden going to be an all star or perform anywhere close to that level.
  13. HarmonK03
    A plan is nice, but sometimes the situation dictates you adjust. And by moving Lee to third and trying to play Gray at short, it is time to adjust.
  14. HarmonK03
    So is the solution never bring anyone up from St. Paul again. Keep playing AAAA players and past their prime vets like Bell and Caratini. At some point you have to promote if the players are earning and there are a few that are earning a shot based on what is in front of them.
  15. HarmonK03
    Of course you would find a way to blame Lewis when Gray makes an 8th grade mistake.
  16. HarmonK03
    Culpepper with a single, triple, two RBI's and a stolen base. But hey we get Tristan Gray, that is why we buy tickets.
  17. HarmonK03
    Is Zoll even awake or anyone in the Twins offices. Culpepper needs to be pulled from the game now and put on a plane. I know there are question marks about some of the other players we would like to see up here, but what are you going to lose. Trying to fit Clemens into your lineup batting third, that has us 8 games below .500, Let's do something to show that we have a plan and are serious about trying to develop a winning team.
  18. HarmonK03
    I have tickets for tomorrow's game, boy am I excited.
  19. HarmonK03
    That was because he had plenty of time, thanks to Gray playing football. He needs to be pulled from the game and sat down. There needs to be accountability, He was just wandering out there, not really going anywhere.
  20. HarmonK03
    Send Gray down, he is not a major league player, that is a little league play he just made.
  21. HarmonK03
    I wasn't considering Mendez on the roster with my comment. You are correct there probably isn't room for both at this point. I would prefer Sabato first just to see if he has something to offer, this is probably the last chance for him with the Twins. But I wouldn't be if it was Mendez over him. Just get Bell off this roster.
  22. HarmonK03
    Yes you are right, Tommy wakes up one day and throws a dart at the dartboard and says yep that is the payroll for next year.
  23. HarmonK03
    Yes, Falvey was just a passive bystander thru the whole process. In no business does ownership dictate day to day needs, they are presented with options or they give parameters to operate in. I know you hate the Pohlads and I not a huge fan, but Falvey has decimated this organization and until we get a real baseball executive in here, nothing is going to change. That is where I hold the Pohlads, get somebody in here who knows how to run a baseball team.
  24. HarmonK03
    Who proposed the budget for approval, hint it was Falvey. Did he think he would have a $160m payroll for the next six years, if so that was the risk he was taking. Ownership approves the budget that Falvey asks for and says he needs to meet the objectives set by ownership. I am not sure how you know the payroll was cut for non baseball reasons. They lost $50m in tv revenue or somewhere in that neighborhood, that is baseball related. Even if it is not under his control, he needs to be aware of these situations so he can plan appropriately. He can't operate in a bubble as PBO, no business runs that way, I am not sure if you understand that. Yes he may not have had a reason to expect such a deep cut in payroll so quickly, again what was their highest payroll before that year. You have to understand historical trends and take into consideration how those will impact future events as well. He chose to take the risk that either payroll would be stable or rise because his baseball development staff has been an absolute failure. If I had been in his position I would have allocated those dollars more conservatively on multiple players because one player isn't going to win by themselves in baseball, just ask the Angels and Trout.
  25. HarmonK03
    Never said it was done without ownership approval. But he was the one advocating and put the plan together for the larger payroll. There were other options or be prepared because history would say the payroll has never been that high for this team, what made him think it was sustainable.
