    Yesterday: Another lucky win. It wasn't that the Twins were that good, it was that Scherzer was that bad; father time is catching up to you, Max A walk, a HBP, then Scherzer serves up a Gopher Ball when he grooves a pitch to try to get it into the strike zone. What kind of gutless wonder is Shelton? Two more HBP to Twins' batters. No retaliation. No complaints to the umpire crew. No comments to the opposing manager. A Twins player is gonna get hurt by a pitched ball AND under current rules, ONLY the Twins suffer due to the loss of a player. Neither the pitcher or the opposing team are penalized in any way. Larnach runs like a truck Bell runs like a BIG dump truck. Days of weighing "just" 260 are in his rearview mirror. Wild pitch by Morris moves the runner up and costs a run when he scores on a SF. Morris takes 67 pitches to get through 3 innings which makes him UNAVAILABLE for the next 3 or so days, removing him from bullpen availability. Batters #9, #1, #2, #3 were 4 for 18 (2 from Keaschall) WITH 8 STRIKEOUTS. OUTMAN 0 - 4 After the game seen in the Twins' Gift Shop shopping for a HIT. Also seen was a completed out DFA form on Zoll's desk in the name of OUTMAN, just waiting to be used.

    Great debut for Kreidler. 0 for 4 with a strikeout and a GIDP. All Sands had to do was get 3 outs with a 5 RUN LEAD. Instead he gives up a single to the first batter he faces and then serves up a GOPHER BALL to take it down to a 3 run lead. All Funderburk had to do was get 3 outs with a 5 RUN LEAD. Instead he gives up a single to the first batter he faces and then walks the second batter he faces to make it possible to take it to a ONE RUN game with one swing of the bat. Buxton leads off against a lefty and ONLY manages a 1 - 5. Keaschall, Martin and Caratini go 0 for 8 with a LHP starting pitcher BUT do manage 4 walks between them. Meanwhile Outman remains batting .000 for the 2026 season !! Another Lucky win thanks to Toronto's failure to execute.

    Reinforcements?? You REALLY mean non-screw-ups.
  14. Jacksson
    Banda, Rogers, Topa have their tickets punched ro St Paul and/or DFA. Hawkins: You are supposed to do SOMETHING with these BUMS! Shelton: 3 of your guys got HBP. No Retaliation?? No Complaints?? No Arguments?? Show some backbone, defend your team. Blow up and get tossed out !! The Wallner facing lefty's move needs to change - it's not working. Drop Buxton down in the batting order until he starts to HIT. Bench him for a couple games and let him think about it and to work on his hitting. Gray shouldn't have been in there against a lefty: what in the hell were you thinking? Quicker hook on SWR. Expect a Better Bullpen from Hawkins.
  15. Jacksson
    Hawkins needs to reemphasize to his relievers that when they enter a game, they SHOULD NOT HIT OR WALK BATTERS. If the guy in the bullpen can't seem to throw strikes or close to strikes, don't let him get into the game and get somebody else warming up. Another LUCKY win. Those catch up to a team in a hurry and soon go the other way.
  16. Jacksson
    The reality of the game was that: Wallner made a bonehead play in the OF. Unacceptable, this is MLB. Martin made a bonehead play on the bases. Unacceptable, this is MLB. Lee not only can't hit but after all his time playing baseball doesn't know how to bunt. Between Banda and Sands, the game was nearly BLOWN. A WP each by Banda & Sands = inexcusable for relievers. A HBP each by Lawyerson & Funderburk = inexcusable for relievers. Larnach came in to pinch hit and hit into a Double Play. Wallner went 1-4 but struck out TWICE. Didn't see Lee's errant throw = on him or on the 1B being unable to adapt to it. Funderburk "Earns" a save when he puts the tying runs on WITHOUT giving up a hit and except for a good play by Keaschall, the game could have been tied. A win based on pure luck; the other team's inability, NOT the Twins' ability or skill. Some benching of position players, more instruction to relievers, potential demotions.

    Report Card: F = Austin Martin threw to the wrong base, allowing the eventual 2nd run to go to 2B. F = Josh Bell, with 0-3 with all 3 being K's. F = Royce Lewis, 0-2, GIDP F = Brooks Lee, 0-3 C = Caratini, GIDP, Couple nice plays at 1B, Single in the 9th with team trailing C = Jeffers, GIDP, At least he GOT a hit. F = Matt Wallner, weak ground out to P & out on a foul tip with the game on the line. F = Trevor Larnach, Game winning opportunity in the bottom of the 9th was a K. F = Justin Topa, Blowing the game, Saddling Kody with the undeserved loss. F = LaTroy Hawkins, Letting Shelton bring in Topa with the score 0-0 - 1 Runner on base. F = Derek Shelton, = Bringing in Topa in a 0-0 game after the Spring Topa had F = Hitting Coaches, = Total lack of team situational hitting F = Twins Management = New Year - SOS F = Twins Ownership = SOS - Pull your head out from the orifice it is in.

    RED FLAG !! Can he be optioned??
  19. Jacksson
    YES.
  20. Jacksson
    Lewis stinks this Spring. Find a SS who can be "the guy", move Lee to 3B, option Lewis.
  21. Jacksson
    WAY MORE THAN JUST THREE !! Larnach needs to prove he belongs with this team. One of Kreidler, Gray or Arcia needs to take hold of the backup SS job. Lewis needs to start hitting and show he has a future in Minny Caratini or Jackson needs to step up as a viable backup catcher. One of Martin or Outman needs to step up as the 4th outfielder. The assortment of non-roster relievers needs to have someone emerge from the pack. The roster of relievers: Banda, Kent, Orze, Sands and Topa need to get in gear if they really want a big league job and/or want to remain with the organization.
  22. Jacksson
    Kent took it on the chin with his outing on 3/13.
  23. Jacksson
    When did the Twinkies acquire LHP Josh Outman and why would he be the #1 backup to Wallner in RF??
  24. Jacksson
    On the plus side, Lopez will come off of the 60 Day DL, just after the 2026 World Series and remain non-injured throught the off season but will then probably once again be designated as being injured for the start of the 2027 Spring Training. Stupid, antiquated MLB rule (along with a host of others) in need of review & updating.
  25. Jacksson
    So where are the other 15 top 20 from 2021? I only see FIVE.
