    Accountability in today's game is non-existent. The team is in a play-off race and Lewis gets called out on strikes because he didn't get back in the box on time. The team has been struggling lately, every out, every AB/PA, every run counts. It was totally unacceptable, but he's "one of the best players" so let's just look the other way?? I call BS!! It's not going to happen so it doesn't matter.

    Accountability needs to be established and enforced. Lewis should have been pulled from the game after the pitch clock strikeout and should be benched tomorrow.

    If Buxton is out, call him up. Just don't wreck him like they did Celestino...

    Watkins has gotten enough runners thrown out at home, don't go giving him any ideas...😉

    A good read.... https://nypost.com/2024/09/04/sports/braves-whit-merrifield-livid-over-being-hit-with-pitches-its-bulls-t/

    Evidently Varland is not the answer.... Losing 3 of 4 to Tampa (hasn't happened yet, but is possible) should not happen, even short handed. This team is not poised to take the next step with the current leadership. I'm not a fire the manager and FO type, but this team was not constructed to get performance out of the biggest, and most likely to be injured positions (SS & CF). The BP is overused and becoming ineffective, and the team refused to acknowledge these weaknesses. What is it called when you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results....

    As long as Kepler is ok....

    Last 7 games (SSS) with RISP - 13-54 .241 BA: 2-10, .200 BA last night 2-14, .143 BA against TOR 9-30, .300 BA against ATL Season average with RISP is .243, over the last 7 games the team is right there, but breaking down SSS shows that they go through extreme peaks and valleys to get there. Remove the first two games against ATL, the team is 6-32, .187 BA with RISP over their last 5 games, not even close to their full-season BA with RISP of .243. If you add the 4-15 in game 2 against ATL, the team is still 10-47, .212 BA with RISP in its last 6 games. Still not a .243 BA, so the 3-7 in game one against ATL helped the overall numbers. Extreme peaks and valleys. Regression to the norm, especially if there are prolonged slumps, includes some 3-7, 3-10, 4-10 and even 5-10 games.

    The 10 hits tonight was nice, but going 2-10 with RISP, not advancing runners and 2-out hitting all need improvement. The pitching did hold the Rays to 1-9 with RISP, SWR managed to wriggle out of enough trouble to keep it close.

    If there's a no math rule on here, physics certainly aren't allowed....😉😂

    I'm thinking tomorrow....

    Let me get this straight, a MLB game in 2024 with 0 HR, 11 hits, 5 BB, sac bunts and sac fly's, and 10 K. Front offices in every MLB city are beside themselves...
  13. mnfireman
    While this is true, the Twins biggest injuries have been at CF and SS, the team did not anticipate this and therefore have no MLB caliber replacement at either position.
  14. mnfireman
    I think if the team falls behind in the wildcard race Buxton and Correa's injury timelines will be adjusted.
  15. mnfireman
    He has started to hit since his re-call on 8-16 - .300/.364/.367 (.731 OPS), but his defense has been horrible and has hurt the team too often.
  16. mnfireman
    Fortunately Boston is also struggling, falling 4 games out of the last WC spot.
  17. mnfireman
    Probably, facing Sale tomorrow. Doesn't matter that Wallner and Larnach combined went 5-11 with two doubles and 4 RBI tonight, LH batters don't face LHP.
  18. mnfireman
    Smoke and mirrors only works for a short period. The team has no viable option at CF or SS behind Buxton and Correa, MLB pitching has figured out how to get Lewis and Julien out, and the BP (especially Duran and ALL the lefties) is a mess. The team doesn't execute fundamentals, doesn't advance base runners and most of the guys go station-to-station. So, to answer a question posed earlier, no Rocco is not the best Twins manager ever.
  19. mnfireman
    Yes you can. https://www.baseballfarming.com/BaseballPinchHitter.html
  20. mnfireman
    Lee was headed to AAA to start the season injury or no injury. He may have been called up earlier if healthy, but probably not April. Maybe early June when Julien was sent down the first time.
  21. mnfireman
    Just saw Kepler was unavailable due to knee soreness.... How many days will the team drag this out before putting him on the IL?
  22. mnfireman
    So after the Twins showed Farmer, the Cardinals brought in a LHP. My question is, why didn't Kepler then hit for Farmer?
  23. mnfireman
    Buxton, Correa and Lee are close to returning - Margot and Farmer DFA'd?? More likely Julien and Martin get returned to St. Paul. The BP needs help, Paddack is close, and he and Varland did enough in BP roles last year. Winder should also be considered. Sorry, but I don't see Kiersey in the mix
  24. mnfireman
    Okert since the All Star break: 11 gms, 7.1 IP, 8 ER, 6/5 K/BB ratio, 3 HR allowed - 9.82 ERA (9.31 FIP) .367/.460/.700 (1.146 OPS). He's a LHP who does well against LH batters, but with the 3 batter minimum teams PH RH batters and he gets knocked around

    Kinda cool... https://www.mlb.com/news/danny-jansen-set-to-play-for-two-teams-in-same-game
