    He needed that bomb

    This teams overall grade has to be an "F" right? Despite some of the good things, the expectation by many was to be over .500. It was not my expectation, but I did not envision this clown show. What is your overall grade DW?

    What the hell is going on around here?

    Uh, Arcia costs the twins a run or two a game in the outfield? I am thinking that might be a slight exaggeration. However, he is not very good out there. The other reality is Rosario is going to get sent down (or should). His .250 on base percentage is a problem. His MLB leading swings at pitches outside the strike zone is also a problem. His fielding (which has been a little more suspect than last year), does not make up for this production.

    Groupon typically has one of the hotels for around 79-99 bucks a night and I forget which one it is, even though I've stayed there...I would check it out.

    I might go as far to say they are close to being out of the race in the next couple of weeks if they don't turn it around soon...

    Saw it mentioned in each paper they expect him back when his 15 days are up. Then saw this morning that he is being sent down to ft. meyers for a quick game or two down there and then will be back up mid next week

    Due to his age and the fact he has played college baseball (successfully obviously), how long will he stay at low A? If he keeps this up maybe a promotion in mid may?

    Well stated and I agree with you. I would say if they are below .500 and not trending upward in mid July, you look to trade what you can and hopefully fortify some areas of need. Let most of the young kids play and take their knocks Thanks

    Doc, I think it's too early to really start discussing blowing things up. However, you mention too much talent a lot in your post. No questions the twins have a lot of potential, especially with our young talent. But there is a reason that most national people picked the twins to win between 75-78 games and finish 4th or last in our division. Last year was nice and surprising, but you just can't rely on all of that young talent coming through at the same time. We all remember the article, from last year, that outlined how the Twins were one of the luckiest teams, in the history of MLB (offensively) last year. We certainly debated it on this forum. My expectations were tempered like most of the national folks. I think maybe we have been slightly too optimistic due to the gift that we had last year. I guess my point is, yes this start stinks. Yes the kids have really struggled (well the vets too but we were not counting on them to become stars or near stars), but it is still very early. With a little better roster management by the FO, and some better in game management by our skipper, I think the Twins will start showing improvements, albeit small over the course of the year. Hopefully, by the end of the year, the sample size on our young players will be enough that pinning realistic hopes on them isn't as much of a stretch as it was this year.

    Bingo
  12. rghrbek
    A lefty to hold the runner??? Get the two outs and then go to May and Jepsen. Not sure what Molly's plans are to pitch in extras....

    We have no back up catcher on the bench...Gardy regrets accepting new job.
  14. rghrbek
    Methinks pinch hitting for a twins catcher is not something to avoid
  15. rghrbek
    Pinch hitting for a catcher????
  16. rghrbek
    not a great game for Miggy
  17. rghrbek
    This has been confirmed, heard it on the FAN, he's taking infield
  18. rghrbek
    Sigh....
  19. rghrbek
    Twins not going down without a fight in the 9th....proud
  20. rghrbek
    Part of the problem is the twins have not battled their tails off...clearly visible as they walk back to the dugout with them between their legs
  21. rghrbek
    So does CBS sports...not real flattering
  22. rghrbek
    What an inning! I'm breathless. Need to take a break.
  23. rghrbek
    Best to let Abreu walk here and pitch to the guy batting .176
  24. rghrbek
    More strike outs and the epidemic continues
  25. rghrbek
    Probably, if he gets 50 swings a game...
