  1. Yes, I do think Rocco knows he is injured and keeps putting him out there to hit. He is the face of the Twins franchise and AD campaign which drives the FO directive to get him into games. If his knee problems are not impacting his hitting then he's in even bigger trouble. Ummm... opinion based on faaaar more than on 0-4 night..... He IS a liability to the team right now. Which is super sad to say because a healthy Buck sparks joy like few if any others in the league..... both currently and historically.
  2. Lee with a HR and 3 SO.... please tell me they are NOT trying to ruin his sweet swing by jamming him into the 3 true option mold....
  3. My concern is that Buxton has large pay escalators for number of AB. He is unlikely to opt out of the line up as long as he can walk to the plate. The onus is on the Twins FO to shut him down (or at least drop him low in the order) What a mess.
  4. There is literally no risk in bringing in firing Popkins and giving someone else a chance. The offense is a failed state.
  5. They should absolutely trade him for assets. It does not preclude them from signing him in the offseason!
  6. "The most significant discrepancy between teams with great regular season records and teams with postseason success was their collection of hitters." yikes for this group! To be clear... we have '0' 120+ hitters "you can have some hope" Hope is not a plan! "Like the 2015 Mets, it might take the addition of one good bat to turn this Twins team into a dark horse contender." Be honest... there is no way that you typed this with a straight face!
  7. Naw... We're good... no need to waste prospects trying to right this sinking ship
  8. If 'Dallas' is the answer, the question was most certainly NOT "what pitcher would a championship caliber team add to their roster"
  9. "There's basically nobody anyone should worry about replacing or moving. It's as straightforward as straightforward can be." This, this.... aaaaaaaand... THIS!
  10. On a more positive note... welcome back Jorge Lopez!.... I hope he gets the support he needs going forward and continues to thrive!
  11. "I still believe the vast majority of the meager and listless offense we'll get the remainder of the season is going to come from my terrible offensive roster construction the guys in that room. It's not going to be via acquisition that's going to make the primary difference. Fixed that statement for Falvey! Indifference is setting in for me...
  12. "We definitely grinded through the first half in a lot of ways. ... Nothing easy or smooth about it, but that's part of our game." So, part of your game plan is NOT playing easy or smooth baseball?!?! Does he even listen to himself? Indifference is setting in for me.... The Pohlads better hope that I'm an outlier... because community indifference is far worse than community frustration, anger, or disappointment (especially for their precious bottom line)
  13. Trading more prospects at the deadline for this team is only going to add more years to the eventual rebuild...
  14. Unfortunately real good for numerous 3-1, 2-1, 1-0 etc losses with our current offense offence.
  15. I think Lee's hitting numbers this year are impacted by adjusting to the daily grind of a long professional season playing SS. Hopefully he will respond with amping up his post season fitness/strength regiment to endure through looooong MLB seasons!
  16. Tyler Wells.... Tyler Wells....why DOES that name sound soooo familiar.... (Happy for him that he seems to be developing into a quality MLB starter!)
  17. Are the Royals free the rest of the summer? I suggest we book as many dates as possible. We would even willing to play them in KC as often as they will have us!
  18. A professional baseball player being paid millions needing to be reminded to try hard..... yikes!
  19. Great to see the hitting! I hate to be 'that guy,' but we really should see this sustained against a team other than K.C before we get too excited :)
  20. Accountability would include consequences. Extended benching or DFA of Kepler and/or Gallo. Moving Correa and Buck down in the order etc More frequent/extended batting practice Fire your hitting coach (instead of just usurping his leadership) Talk is cheap and depending on whiteboard phrases is lazy
  21. Is this a promotional piece outlined for you by the Twins FO? Rocco is not a natural Leader of Men I haven't seen much difference after the 'Reset' as yet... just Correa inexplicably being moved UP in the order
  22. Just reading 'Twins Hitter of the Month' made be giggle a little bit if I'm being honest
