    That’s quite a leap from what I actually said. I didn’t say good vibes matter more than winning. I said the quality of the clubhouse is one factor in evaluating a manager, and the manager deserves some credit when a respected player calls it the best clubhouse he’s ever been involved with.. Shelton should absolutely be judged on wins and losses. But pretending leadership, trust, and clubhouse culture have nothing to do with winning is a pretty shallow way to evaluate a manager.

    Gotta start somewhere. This team is way more enjoyable to watch than last year's team. Even before the trade deadline selloff.

    I had a nice conversation with Pablo Lopez a couple of weeks ago (thought about writing about it on TD, but didn't). I asked him specifically about the vibe in the clubhouse. He said this year was the best clubhouse he's ever been associated with. The manager has a lot to do with that. P.S. Pablo is a fantastic human being.

    I've watched the kid play twice now at the ballpark (love calling rookies kids)....Based on what I've seen, the kid is a gamer. Still a little hesitant at SS, but I think that's just adjusting to a new environment, etc. The fact that he went 3-4 the other day is huge. Great confidence builder too. I'm encouraged by what I've seen so far.

    I absolutely loved the bunts!!!! I thoroughly enjoy watching this team play.

    We had the game on in the office, and I told everyone watching the 9th inning that KC's manager was nuts to pull their starter. When Kody hit that homer, everyone went nuts! Great day!

    Great pick! Huge win for us. This is the guy I wanted from day one.

    I actually enjoy watching this team now. It feels like they are a team of scrappers and have some heart. By the way, the Twins have one of the highest-scoring offenses in the American League right now. The starting pitching, even with the injuries, has been a surprising positive. Bullpen....crap. Overall, better than I expected. I think Shelton has helped out a lot too.

    Winning puts asses in the seats. Very simple formula for selling tickets.
  10. twinssporto
    I was thinking the same thing. Shelton is a breath of fresh air after Rocco. He just puts off a better demeanor.

    Mauer was 20 years old when he came up....Let's go, Tait!
  12. twinssporto
    These are the types of articles that make me excited about Twins baseball. The MLB team is not good. At least I see a future.....hopefully.

    I honestly cannot believe Outman is still here...This team has a spark, but holy s@!^!!! Need more defense regardless.
  14. twinssporto
    Totally agree! The problem with Outman is his name and position. Horrible baseball name for a hitter/fielder. If he were a pitcher, yes, great name!

    Thanks for the uplifting message, I guess. I’m sure Opening Day will be a blast… or at least it would’ve been if they’d bothered to play the actual youngsters. I still can’t wrap my head around how this roster was put together — it feels like they tried to make it confusing on purpose. Honestly, my entertainment this season might just be watching how fast this whole thing gets scrapped in favor of the guys over in St. Paul. At this point, that’s the real show. Maybe we should start an over/under pool for Outman, Larnach, and the rest. Thirty games? Twenty? I’m tempted to take the under just for the comedy value.
  16. twinssporto
    This kid is ready! Let's roll! There is nothing to lose at this point. I like his grit.
  17. twinssporto
    Totally agree—very anemic lineups. I'd rather see some of those "yutes" move up and bring some energy to the club.
  18. twinssporto
    Sometimes teams playing with nothing to lose actually do well. Low expectations and nothing to lose can create a loose clubhouse atmosphere. Could be interesting to watch. Maybe.....
  19. twinssporto
    The odds are looooooooooooooong, Twins Fans! I'll wager a $1.

    Honestly, all I see at this point is incompetence from top to bottom. Nothing I said implied Falvey was some genius or that I even liked the guy — I never did. Gleeman’s piece made it clear that Tom and Falvey had “numerous discussions” and “different strategies,” but what those strategies were, we’ll probably never know because transparency clearly isn’t a priority for this organization. And truthfully, I’m past caring about who’s in charge or how this team is run. I’ve been more than a casual fan for 45+ years. I held season tickets for years. And no — Tom didn’t call me, which is a shame, because I had a few things he needed to hear. I’ll come back when this operation is run by adults. Until then, enjoy the mess!
  23. twinssporto
    I honestly believe Falvey had had enough. He also needs to look after his career and reputation. He knows 2026 is going to be a ridiculous challenge. Why stick around when your ownership doesn't support what you know you will need to succeed? Tom Pohlad and the new minority owners need to bring in their own management team. Whether in the right or wrong direction, ownership and management need to align their goals. As Gleeman's article stated, Falvey and Pohlad didn't share the same vision to move this team forward. I read Gleeman's take in The Athletic yesterday and agree that another GM spot is in Falvey's future, probably next year.

    I love the kid's enthusiasm to get better, but giraffe legs won't work at SS. Maybe third? Looks awkward to me, but what do I know? We are the Pittsburgh Pirates of the American League Central now. Throw everything against the wall and see what sticks....Let's get rolling!
