    Lighten up. We've been to the playoffs the 2 years he's been here. Granted, we're not going this year, but I'd rather have a team that has post season potential more often than not. Baldelli deserves heat, but he should not be fired for what a mess the bullpen has been and the injuries that are head shaking and the aging of Donaldson and Cruz and the lack of pitch recognition of Sano and the number of rookies forced into playing ahead of schedule and having played 7DIFFERENT guys in CF (has to be a record 65 games into a season) Baldelli is doing the best he can with the cards he's dealt. Has he made some bad decisions? Yes. Calling for his head the first year we finish below .500 is a bit knee jerky. And not to be to 'homery' we'll clear .500. Or lose 110

    Thanks for the article. Donaldson is not a plus. He'll be on IL soon, and next year will be a mess. Include Sano. We'll be better soon, but this should have been a playoff year. No question about it. If we finish 10 games behind White Sox this year We'll be 15 next year. They are missing best 2 players and still have a pitching pipeline. Gordon is depth, not the future. Sorry for being a Debbie Downer, but I'm a fan and no matter how optimistic I'll be in February I want to use this as bounce board to remind myself what a fail 2021 is

    The team should be pro-active in making the medical move. Never leave it up to the player. I salute effort, don't salute hurting your teamates while playing below 75% capacity

    Now I feel better. Went to a friend's house last night to cook out (Cubs Fan) and he offered to put the Twins game on. Told him not to bother. Best call I made all week.

    Good job as always

    Best comment ever. I like Pineda, but I'm sure there are analytic wonks that know better than me.

    I hate to quibble. We'll be 6-7. And yes, I've jumped ship

    Let's not trade Buxton. We wouldn't get maximum for him. Otherwise, spot on
  9. denarded
    Larnach and Kirillof not a lot of...energy when talking to media. Maybe it's good they save it for the field

    Ugggh. This is not the article I wanted to read. My quick 2 cents...Love Donaldson's arm. I never hold my breath on a throw that might be tight, but he's made a couple throws that were 'easy' that cost the team. He was meh overall last year for his value and so far has been meh this year. I know he has a negative xBA, but he just doesn't seem to make consistent solid contact (new band name). I hope he comes through and this is the year we're paying him for. The next two may be sunken cost if the current performance continues. Come on Josh, let's not make this a sucky contract

    Exactly what I was thinking last night during the game.
  12. denarded
    Don't forget Buxton and hold breath on day-to-day Arraez

    Fandom. One extra inning win, review of upcoming schedule, and talk yourself into how this can work. I'm doing it

    My Twins Shakeup

    denarded commented on Greglw3's blog entry in Greg Allen

    I like OP's thought process and 70% behind the ideas. I would just like to say one more time...Falvey. Levine, Baldelli and Johnson were not smoke and mirrors past 2 years. Yes, we were hoping a budget bullpen would be good enough counting on better defense and solid offense to win more games than not. Obviously that did not happen. I just don't like knee jerk reactions to situations we as fans are not privy to. Off my soapbox

    Ouch

    Good stuff as always, Tom. Appreciate the effort you put into your pieces

    What sucks is, you get so pumped for baseball after a long winter, Summer is coming, it's sunny, and you're baseball team is out of it before Memorial Day.. I"ll root. I'll watch, but it's disheartening.

    I do not not think that word means what you think it means (especially when applied to 2021 Twins)
  19. denarded
    Sano has no trade value right now. I don't understand how Twins Nation knows he is bad right now, yet think he has value. Hitting a couple of more HRs and striking out 30 more times is not going to help
  20. denarded
    Right on. Thanks Matt, but you are what you are. Balzovic and Duran coming up? Yes please
  21. denarded
    He'll hit a couple of rocky points where he doesn't see the ball well. Dr. Gast is right on and an encouraging sign for sustained success is his Hard Hit% and Chase rate Also he's pretty fast I hear...

    You can't have everything. Part of what makes him a great manager may make him less so if he was more 'fiery'. I agree with all points, just wanted to mention this. It's the same thing with players " I love his game, just wish he was faster or more selective or more aggressive at the plate. Etc.
  24. denarded
    Picked the wrong day to call out Garver....Hopefully it's the beginning of something and I'll gladly look foolish. BTW, Buxton is fast
