    It isn't Gallo or bust at 1B. They could choose to put a better lineup on the field, but for some reason they're content not to.
  2. KirbyDome89
    Ok, but more or less the same = atrocious at this point. If Julien and Wallner's handedness, and not their performance, disqualifies them, it makes zero sense to trot out lefty Joey Gallo.
  3. KirbyDome89
    Julien and Wallner sitting. The Twins know Gallo bats from the left side right? Right?
  4. KirbyDome89
    They miss Wheeler and Lorenzen.
  5. KirbyDome89
    .157/.281/.361 with a 46% K rate since May, and that's mostly in "favorable," matchups. There's no law that says you must have a LH hitting 1B. How is swapping in anybody else with a pulse at 1B not considered an upgrade? You don't think Farmer (using your example) could at least post a similarly putrid slash line against RH pitchers and kinda hit LH pitching plus be decent defender? That at least raises your floor, so if you do call up that inexperience AAA bat, and they flop, you're no worse off. There's no rational defense for Gallo's continued presence in the lineup. All we can say is that the FO refuses to move on from him....
  6. KirbyDome89
    Gallo has set the bar so low that it's almost impossible for Williams to be any worse at 1B. Also, there's some potential upside with Williams, i.e. he might be an actual major league caliber player. Ditto for Stevenson and Larnach, although the clock is running out on him. We know what Dobnak is, a AAAA, or maybe even just a AAA pitcher at this point. I don't want to see a guy like that anywhere near the starting rotation, or even the bullpen when there are younger options.
  7. KirbyDome89
    Beat me.
  8. KirbyDome89
    Wallner *needs* to be lifted the moment a lefty takes the mound but Joey Gallo stays in the game to flail away....

    11 left after today A 2 game Detroit series, a couple 3 game sets with Cleveland, and one 3 game series remaining with Chicago.
  10. KirbyDome89
    Starting pitching and some of the young position players are the reason this team hasn't cratered. Castro has been a solid utility guy. That isn't saving a season. Taylor is hitting .216 with an atrocious .265 OBP, a 34% K rate, and a career low 5.3% BB rate. He has an 86 OPS+ (not 90) and he has posted 1.2 WAR 116 games into the season as the everyday CF'er. C'mon...
  11. KirbyDome89
    Yeah I don't get it. At this point these are "their guys," so the obsession with washed vets while younger guys nearing 40 man status bottleneck makes zero sense.
  12. KirbyDome89
    .155/.279/.348 with a 46% K rate since May.... It's comical to think there aren't internal options capable of raising, or at minimum replicating that floor.
  13. KirbyDome89
    I get that Detroit sucks, but continuing to hit Cabrera in the 4 hole or Badddoo leading off? What are we doing here?
  14. KirbyDome89
    He was one of their few decent bats prior to the latest IL stint. Idk if I'd call him washed just yet...
  15. KirbyDome89
    HRs will have that affect. Ask Joey Gallo.
  16. KirbyDome89
    I don't understand what we're driving at with the ALCS talk in regards to what a dominant second half of the regular season looks like. The Twins have one of the easiest SOS to date, which means their first half wasn't all that difficult either. Twins vs. Cards postseason success isn't the hill to die on.
  17. KirbyDome89
    What a clown show. I'm low key sad that there's actually some pressure mounting. I'd hate to see Hahn go.
  18. KirbyDome89
    Idk what defines a dominant August/September. The Twins have the easiest schedule in baseball, and it's gotten even easier with teams selling and/or collapsing in on themselves. Bankroll the Ws, you need them and they're certainly more enjoyable to watch, but I don't feel any better about this team in October. Does a WC series win feel better than a loss? Is that even a question? Hell, I'll feel better just breaking the damn losing streak. My opinion of the FO isn't going to radically shift if they win 2 of 3 at home though.

    "Only once you've opened your third eye will you be able to understand the "fact," that throwing in the towel this season and not extending a relatively affordable player in Josh Naylor is the key to winning 90+ games." - MLR
  20. KirbyDome89
    Yeah anybody who watched that game and thought Keuchel pitched well, or that we can expect similar results is fooling themselves.
  21. KirbyDome89
    Hallelujah! Took a minute but we got there right? You immediately jumped to "here's how many 90 win seasons they have," in defense of cheap ownership selling at .5 games back in the most winnable division in baseball.... You threw out WAR in vs. out with no parameters other than a floor from which you're counting. That doesn't really tell us anything, i.e. you could acquire an army of 1.5 WAR players with 4+ years of team control and and win the WAR battle vs. a shipping out one or two years of a 3+ WAR player, but that doesn't mean your team is better off.
  22. KirbyDome89
    I do. I think even a really flawed team can find a way to go 13-9 or better during a 20ish game stretch. That doesn't mean I think it's at all likely.
  23. KirbyDome89
    Obviously not out cold but he was clearly dazed. You could see it while he was being forced/helped to the dugout. The dude looked like he didn't know where he was.
  24. KirbyDome89
    If Jose Ramirez had a similar history of being a ****head I'd be more inclined to spread the blame evenly.
  25. KirbyDome89
    Tim Anderson stirring up ****? I'm shocked....
