All Things 2023 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

[kg21]

People on GH STILL think the Arraez trade was good for the Twins. Arraez is a special player and Lopez is not.

I didn't like the trade, but Arraez could literally bat .400 here.........and there is no one who could drive him in

Would he make much difference for the team? I'm not joking.

Who would drive him in? We have no 2, 3, 4, or 5 hitter.

Ortega was solid last year for the Angels and pretty good at St Paul. I'm guessing Maeda will be activated soon.

Per the Twins MLB beat writer, it’s likely he’ll be up fir the Tigers this weekend and make a start then - last outing he threw 81 pitches in St. Paul over 4.1 innings.

If he’s not healthy then why the hell is he playing? Right now he adds negative value to the team by taking up the DH spot and not being able to provide any offense.

If him being unable to play center field after and entire offseason off and never playing center in spring training or in 73 games this year then he will never play center field the rest of his career.

I would bet that he never does play CF regularly again. Even occasionally seems unlikely unless there is some additional medical procedure that can cure his ailment.

What the hell is Correa swinging at? I mean my god how can David Popkins show up to work everyday and not be embarrassed at the results. I mean what the hell is he telling these players to do during an at bat?

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Not very often so you see a 2, 6, 3 double play. God bless max Kepler.

 

[MUgopher32]

Per usual we cant score

And we still cant get the shitty hitters of the Red Sox out

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

They want to jump start this charity auction, they should take bids on the opportunity to tell Rockhead he's canned.

 

[MUgopher32]

Haha another lead off double not scored

Just seriously cancel this season. Piece of shit Correa is back. This fucking loser gives zero fucks

 

[MUgopher32]

Literally cant get the bottom of the order out haha. BEcause they just keep trying to put the ball in play unliek us

 

[MUgopher32]

Hahahaha the Rocco platooning fails again.

Solano immediately Ks

Where is Walter White. We got legit poison this stupid mother fucker to get him out of the dugout

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

How can a person by physically incapable of playing the outfield, but still be able to bat and run the bases? Doesn't add up to me.

 

[MUgopher32]

We have a manager that is legitamately mentally retarded

 

[From the Parkinglot]

There’s that great Max Kepler defense. At least he can hit. Then just to cap it off he just chucks it home and allows the runner to go to third with 1 out.

It’s his right knee so the only things I can think of is lots of running is hard to do or changing direction is difficult. He definitely doesn’t run to 1st as hard as he used to.

I get the frustration but you really need to grow up. These unnecessary and inappropriate name calling is childish.

The simple answer is this is the worst run team in the history of sports. That is no exaggeration. From coaching to front office, there has never been a greater display of blatant incompetence every single day.

Most people are catching up to what I have been saying for months. There are still a few delusional idiots like NYC who clearly doesnt get Twins games out there. But most people realize this is a dumpster fire.

We are 3rd worst record in AL since May 1. ONly KC and Oakland are worse.

This team is about to be 8 games under .500 since starting the year 10-4.

We are 6-1 vs KC this year. Which means we are 7 games under .500 against every other MLB team.

Grow up? Hes mentally retarded. I mean that is a fact. Its indisuptable at this point.

Thats an actual clinical diagnosis.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

This is the scary part. The twins had some of the best starting pitching the franchise has seen in 30 years to start this season. From that they were a .500 team and now the pitching is starting to go sideways and the offense is showing no signs of life. This could potentially be a long summer of ugly ass baseball.

He’s evolved into a zero-tool ball player.

At least Falvey got us a lefty FA reliever

Every lefty we bring up from AAA looks super good

Getting clobbered. But it kinda seems like we could lose 10 more games in a row and would still somehow be in first place.

Haven't seen anything from management negative about Baldelli, but if the freefall continues the role of the manager in that will certainly become a topic.

Went to the game last night, at least it was better than tonight.

Soon the hitting coach is gonna be the fall guy.

But soon after that Rocco becomes the fall guy.

Its on the Pohlads to get rid of Falvey who literally I dont think has ever watched baseball.

So much for our run differential...

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Dick just asked Justin if team meetings were effective and he shrugged them off as ineffective.
Unfortunately, Dick didn't ask him if getting punched in the mouth by Torii Hunter was effective.

Just for shits and giggles, let's do this:

Be the first team in history to win a division with under .500 baseball

Make history and have the most strikeouts ever

Go 0-20 or 0-21 in the playoffs......whatever the hell it is.

What a trip!

 

[kg21]

NYC seems to be on a mini-vacation lately!

If any team other than KC managed to win eight in a row, they’d build an insurmountable lead.

Kirk Cousins would be proud of that Buxton garbage time homerun.

Yeah, trade deadline might be interesting. Am guessing Gray will be wanting out for sure. Wonder if Twins could hire a Trade Czar to take care of all that.
