    ugh... yet another example of why we need Buck in CF and not clogging up the DH spot
  2. D.C Twins
    Mor-ain't supposed to be pitching for an MLB team with post season aspirations.
  3. D.C Twins
    Are we a better team with Buck at DH? (vs. Julian or positional flexibility).... I think that this will become an increasingly relevant (and uncomfortable) question as the season progresses. I know this comment will have a lot of blow back.... but I'm not trying to troll. For those who think this is an easy 'yes'... let's revisit in a couple months.
  4. D.C Twins
    Yes...yes they should
  5. D.C Twins
    My heart says keep him, but my brain says trade him or let him go with his mounting injury/age and talent rising beneath him. (but again... it hurts to write this)
  6. D.C Twins
    I'll be far more excited when he doing those max effort sprints.... in CF.... during games. I'm actually not missing him much at DH. I've enjoyed the positional flexibility of DH being open and honestly think Julian will prove to be the superior DH in the not-to-distant future.
  7. D.C Twins
    Further proof that if Correa (and eventually Buck), as our stars, provide even their average career production, this team is faaaaaaaar more competitive.
  8. D.C Twins
    I'm Ober-ly optimistic about his future!
  9. D.C Twins
    (Giggles.... deep breath... more giggles)
  10. D.C Twins
    If he stays at DH, he limits flexibility to use other poor fielding great hitters in our organization... so if only a DH... not good. not good at all....
  11. D.C Twins
    Baseball realignment after sustained central division pathetic performance?
  12. D.C Twins
    I would be interested in an update about E Rod from someone in the know. By box scores, he certainly seems to be struggling.....Is he working on something, nagging injury.....?
  13. D.C Twins
    No, no they should not... (though that 'chasing' mentality did build Las Vegas!)
  14. D.C Twins
    Great win but the challenges remain. Essentially we were able to hit against one bad reliever with an ERA north of 5 (or 6 maybe... I can't remember) I hope things are changing, but we may have only shown that we can hit one bad reliever. We will find out!
  15. D.C Twins
    That minor league contract with spring training invite he's going to have to sign next year will be a rude awakening for sure!
  16. D.C Twins
    The FO and Rocco should save that 'super analytic system' to best direct their job applications after they are eventually fired (waaaaay to late) by ownership... In the mean time, buckle up buttercup and enjoy the downward slide!
  17. D.C Twins
    "One of those solutions could be adjusting how they approach their game plan. Under hitting coach David Popkins, the Twins are said to feature a technology-heavy approach, one championed by shortstop Carlos Correa. Last offseason, Correa described Popkins as the best hitting coach he’s ever had. But within the clubhouse, there’s some concern that not everyone is capable of handling the approach and the team may need to adjust how they prepare their hitters." Well this encapsulates much that is wrong with the team.... overreliance on analytics, technology and Correa's input (see Buxton, Byron at DH... because, you know, he never gets injured at bat or on the basepath) Hopefully Popkins filling Lewis with nonsense advice isn't why he promptly went cold after joining the Twins 🙄
  18. D.C Twins
    For the foreseeable future, 'hitting' should be replaced by 'swinging' when describing a Minnesota Twins batter. Using the above as an example: "Apparently he will be swinging for Kepler" See... doesn't that seem like a more accurate representation? I encourage all TD writers to adopt this vernacular going forward 😀
  19. D.C Twins
    I hate to say it, but if we are going to play like this, I hope Cleveland puts us out of our misery BEFORE a catastrophic playoff embarrassment!
  20. D.C Twins
    Whoaaaa! Two whole runs matching the grand total of the three games previous! We-are-on-a-roll! 😉
  21. D.C Twins
    Domo Arigato.... the end is near for Mr. Sabato
  22. D.C Twins
    We may just be sellers, not buyers, at the deadline....
  23. D.C Twins
    I hold the following truths to be self-evident: 1. Correa and Buck not playing up to their capabilities is the BIGGEST problem this season. If our stars played like stars, we would be in a much better position. 2. As I've said repeatedly for 2 years, Rocco won't last through the offseason. He will get 'promoted' to a front office job. He will never manage another MLB team. Leadership matters and he is not a natural born leader. 3. Keppler needs to be DFA'ed . I would much rather see a prospect struggle and grow, if not excel. 4. Wallner playing in AAA while the Twins 'Offence' continues, is the biggest FO malpractice since the Sano in the outfield fiasco (last FO of course)
  24. D.C Twins
    Buxton's season has been sad for me, because his play used to spark joy. It is depressing to be reminded that we have an elite 5 tool player going unused when he provides average to above average ABs 4-5 times a game. Clogging up the DH position causing poor hitting substitutes in the outfield is the biggest problem.
  25. D.C Twins
    Waaaaay to early to judge Julian MLB potential. He needs more time to adjust... like almost all young players. (But I do agree with the defense concern)
