    "Twins fans don’t want to be told that what they’ve seen for five years is good enough. Because it’s not." Five years. Five. Which is why this isn't about just the most recent suckitude. Timing isn't the issue. It's that they continue to employ a poor manager whose teams can't and/or wont play the game of baseball. They're consistently poor at things within the manager's range of responsibilities, as partially touched on above. He should have been replaced no later than last year. He's an objectively bad MLB manager

    Let's get some runs!

    Just too many white hot bats to cram them all into the lineup.

    Inconceivable. I've been assured young pitchers always struggle to establish themselves in the show for at least 3 years. 7 ERAs are the norm.

    Dear Mr Falvey Could you can the nauseating corporate gobbledegook and just talk like normal? 500 words and nobody can actually point to a single concrete statement. Sincerely Everyone, everywhere.

    Twins teams under TK were often undermanned. But they were rarely outplayed. He tried damn hard make sure of that. They threw to the proper base. Knew how to execute cutoff throws. Drop a bunt, and field one. Slow down opponent running games. When and how to gain a base on offense. Those things, and a million other baseball things mattered. He took steps to ensure them, and didn't easily tolerate it when they didn't happen. Those things seem to me a punchline now. At the least an afterthought. Baseball is a game. A team game. There's an art to playing it well, in addition to science. I'd like to see a manager who understands and appreciates that.

    LH reliever on the mound.

    Hey, didn't you used to be Jhoan Duran?

    But the manager is blameless.
  11. USAFChief
    And then effing Duran cant get the K on 0-2.
  12. USAFChief
    0-2 HBP, then the inevitable ground ball up the middle. That's 100 percent on Duran.
  13. USAFChief
    Breaking out the Duran show at TF. Been a while
  14. USAFChief
    Wallner isn't slow. I send him there 100 percent of the time and make the opposition throw him out. I think he beats that short hop that wasnt handled cleanly in this case. But either way, chances are better than getting a 2 out hit.
  15. USAFChief
    Should have sent him
  16. USAFChief
    Man Raleigh hits the ball hard a LOT.
  17. USAFChief
    Dont the Twins have an option on Bader for next year?
  18. USAFChief
    As soon as there were 2 on and nobody out that felt as inevitable as the sun rising tomorrow
  19. USAFChief
    Rocco has appealed to league offices
  20. USAFChief
    Meltdown in progress
  21. USAFChief
    Just have em stand there, Baldelli. Not to mention Larnach had a free single if he just bunts hard toward 3rd. Wide open. And none of the Twins LH hitters even try, FFS. Infuriating.
  22. USAFChief
    Prolly a better player than Bride.

    "The Pitching Pipeline" is one of the all time great TD creations. Repeated so many times, by so many, it became a punchline.
  24. USAFChief
    4, actually. 2026, 27, 28, and 29. He'll be eligible for free agency in 2030, provided he stays in the big leagues till then and doesn't sign any kind of multi-year contract, of course. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wallnma01.shtml The point being refuted is the erroneous "40 percent better than average" one. He's not, by any measure. Its just BS repeated over and over by one poster. And THIS season he's slightly below league average BTW.

    Can you stop saying this? Its not accurate. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wallnma01.shtml
