    No need for anymore thoughtful analysis for this team. They are bad to the the bone with no leadership or fire. DUCES!
  2. D.C Twins
    The only race in which the Twins will be competing this year is for the #1 draft pick
  3. D.C Twins
    Nighty night 2021 Twins. Sleep well. We will all sleep well too now that we have given up on you!
  4. D.C Twins
    Sabato.... yikes!

    It should almost be illegal to construct a team as bad as Detroit.... and they beat us. Can we all now agree that we are not having bad luck or on the cusp of a break out? We are just bad.... a serious question....not trolling... How good is the 2022 draft shaping up overall....strong?

    The team may have a -1 run differential, but the horrible bullpen and hitting with RISP completely negate this one of many wishful justifications that a bad team's performance will eventually normalize. ( When your bullpen cannot hold leads in the 8-10 innings and your batters aren't clutch hitters with RISP--relying solely on sporadic bunching of home runs-- you are going to lose more 'close' games and the games that you do win will be by a lot of runs which skew the run differential (which is what has happened) This is not bad luck. Our record very much reflects how we have played. My personal favorite is the average exit velocity that some rave about without remembering that you actually have to hit the ball to get an exit velocity. If people want to start factoring in exit velocity, better start averaging in 0s for the strike outs! The Twins have had great exit velocities this year!* *when they have actually hit the ball ....the manager deserves much more blame when an entire team is playing sloppy and without fire.

    I'll just say the (first) picture is worth a thousand words...

    New manager and hitting coach please.... If not, please quit taxing an already struggling bullpen by taking starting pitchers out of the game with less than 90 pitches without factoring in change in velocity or mechanics or pitcher reported fatigue Thanks

    It was fun watching Planco and Kepler compete for the Golden Sombrero on Cinco de Mayo!!!!
  10. D.C Twins
    well at this point the twins could not do worse than what they have...
  11. D.C Twins
    I just think this needs repeating
  12. D.C Twins
    "B: Trade for a bad team's best reliever" Psst....but WE are the bad team (don't tell anyone...)
  13. D.C Twins
    This game is a microcosm for the season though. Enjoy the hell out of watching Buck, make bets with your friends about how much the Yankees are going to pay him in a couple years, and... yeah... that's about it
  14. D.C Twins
    Even a casual Twins fan knows that Rodgers has struggled pitching two days in a row even when he was at his best..... but Ruminating Rocco you ask? No...no he does not know that It seems obvious to give Alaca the ball in the 10th (who did not pitch yesterday) instead of Waddell (who did and got shelled). This is not hind sight being 20/20; there were people who time stamped this opinion on the game thread live time. Yes the FO should have done better with the bullpen and the lineup should hit more, but Rocco simply not a good manager. He's just not. A nice man and a smart person I'm sure, but that alone does not make a good manager.

    Minister of Disappointment (MoD) presiding specifically over our bullpen this year?
  16. D.C Twins
    I loooove me my MiLB BOX SCORES!
  17. D.C Twins
    Good news... No Colome!!!! (so that's a start).... Bad news....YIKES! the bullpen could certainly torpedo the entire season, and fast More bad news... The delay in MiLB start has also probably delayed our ability to assess for emergency substitutions in house. I'm sure there will be a 'hot hand' or two down there but by the time we find them the season could be over! Awesome News: Buxton and Kirilloff alone will make this a worthwhile team to follow. If Cruz and Donaldson healthy....and Arraez....in support...FUN! It is a horrible realization though, that even a fully clicking line up would not be able to make up for THAT bullpen.

    Fantastic read. Thanks Parker! As I've said on other threads....He has clearly worked hard on his craft in addition to his tremendous innate skills and showing tremendous patience through the process. He is a great example to all and I will root for him the rest of his career no matter where it takes him!
  19. D.C Twins
    Bullpen problem solved: just win games by 7-10 runs.
  20. D.C Twins
    It's Buck's world, we're just livin' in it!
  21. D.C Twins
    I'm so happy for Buck; he worked hard on his craft and endured. I will be rooting for his just reward in FA even though we won't have a chance. He's not going to hit over 400 for the season but I don't see a huge regression either. That swing is more compact, efficient and confident. I love the win today, BUT remember that we simply crushed a horrible SP like previous teams had done to the poor guy. AND we didn't have to use our bullpen. So, they still have lots to prove and I hope they do it!
  22. D.C Twins
    I think the most important parallel to make is: the "weird Willie Eyre fixation" to the current "weird Colome fixation" (gotta keep rollin' him out because, you know, um, yeah!)
  23. D.C Twins
    If only we were one reliever away....if only....
  24. D.C Twins
    New manager and hitting coach please
  25. D.C Twins
    .... and now officially adding.....new manager please... to my mantra..... I've given much more nuanced critiques of Rocco, but now it is uncomfortable to even be critical of him because he is so.... lost, confused, dejected, and over his head that its just.....sad.... Today's managerial performance... just wow... I mean, just...wow
