    Sorry.... rebuild not retool. Berrios and Buxton will be lost to FA and will not sign with us because the $$ offer will be less and they have had less than great experiences with the FO for various reasons. Therefore they need to be traded NOW before the deadline to maximize return. Without them in the short term the team will obviously be worse. Also the 'core' has turned out to be at least one standard deviation below expectations. Ergo.... it's rebuild time... I'm not happy about it but it is better to be realistic than to languish for a decade because we are not able to admit the obvious

    This just needed to be repeated
  3. D.C Twins
    Yep, been advocating for his for awhile now on various threads. It's not about if we want Berrios, it's about understanding that he WILL be gone for many reasons to include money and not liking the Twins FO actions for the most part. So... the question is what we want in our return. Trading him sometime before the trade deadline will maximize that return. It's just that disappointingly simple

    We are leading the #1 draft pick race! At least the one day Sano Fever broke and everyone now remembers that he still has the same gaping holes in his swing. Seriously, Gordon and Rooker up now and for the rest of the season playing on the regular (and any others that we need to make decisions on... relievers?!). It is inexcusable for us not to figure out exactly what we have going forward. There is nothing else to accomplish this season other than to figure out what we have going forward.
  5. D.C Twins
    The Twins better make sure they figure out EXACTLY what they have in Rooker and Gordon this year. They should be playing almost every day in the MLB from here on out to make the most informed decision for next year. No excuses....Get them up and play them now!

    #1: Microcosm of the season.... Rocco inexplicably chooses Sano to 'pinch hit' when he currently cannot hit in any scenario much less 'we really need a hit here...who can we bring in' AND .... he shockingly strikes out. #2 For anyone who thinks that it is too early to fire Rocco.... Could this team be any worse with a new manager? Nope, I didn't think so. Is there any other team waiting in the wings to swoop him up as their manager in the future? Nope, I didn't think so. The manager is absolutely responsible when and entire team is under performing. If his is not, he literally has no job description. #3 We are leading the race for #1 draft pick!!!!!!!
  7. D.C Twins
    We are now in pole position for the #1 draft pick! We GOT this! let's Go!
  8. D.C Twins
    No need for anymore thoughtful analysis for this team. They are bad to the the bone with no leadership or fire. DUCES!
  9. D.C Twins
    The only race in which the Twins will be competing this year is for the #1 draft pick
  10. D.C Twins
    Nighty night 2021 Twins. Sleep well. We will all sleep well too now that we have given up on you!
  11. D.C Twins
    Sabato.... yikes!
  12. D.C Twins
    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...
  15. D.C Twins
    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
  16. D.C Twins
    It was fun watching Planco and Kepler compete for the Golden Sombrero on Cinco de Mayo!!!!
  17. D.C Twins
    well at this point the twins could not do worse than what they have...
  18. D.C Twins
    I just think this needs repeating
  19. D.C Twins
    "B: Trade for a bad team's best reliever" Psst....but WE are the bad team (don't tell anyone...)
  20. 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
  21. 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?
  23. D.C Twins
    I loooove me my MiLB BOX SCORES!
  24. 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.
  25. D.C Twins
    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!
