All Things 2024 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

[GophersInIowa]

The home plate umpire is god uwful today.

It’s amazing that triple a has a system in place that’s better at getting calls right than MLB.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Huge loss for them. On the other hand, Indians a pitching factory. Will probly bring up someone from minors who is very good.

True. But now they can't trade him at the deadline.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

It may have been too soon to just pencil Julien in as an everyday player. Could end up like Miranda.

Putrid

Just Putrid

 

[GophersInIowa]

Now 0-21 with RISP in this series.

 

[BarnBurner]

The home plate umpire today is awful. He should never be allowed to umpire ever again. And he is better than Mn hitters.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Maybe ownership knew that the offense was going to be a steaming pile of dogshit, and that's why they cut payroll.

An injured pitcher? Indians gm would be wise to give Twins a call. I seem to recall a different Ohio team that fleeced us in a similar situation.

Now 0-21 with RISP in this series.

I switched to the Lady Gopher Hoopsters in search of more offensive and ended up in bed taking a nap instead.

 

[GophersInIowa]

If it wasn’t for the questionable triple by Kirilloff, they’d be getting no hit right now

 

[kg21]

Would the Twins ever consider cutting 20 more million and giving it to the Gophers for NIL?

What was questionable?

It was smoked right past Naylor

 

[From the Parkinglot]

When can I be concerned about the offense?

When can I be concerned about the offense?

I was concerned in Ft. Myers. Didn't hit then. Still not hitting. Just so many bad at bats! Just look over-matched so often.

93 mph is hit pretty hard but not smoked IMO.

It was questionable enough that they went back and forth with the call.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

What could have been.

I roll my eyes when people make the argument that a player is "blocked" or say he doesn't have a position. You can always find a spot in the lineup. It's not like Ortiz or Edgar Martinez are penciled in at DH every day.

If I remember correctly they hit pretty badly early last year too. Like Morneau said today, you can accept the strikeout more if you’re also driving the ball a lot. The Twins are not.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

What could have been.

Come back to the five and dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean

 

[howeda7]

The home plate umpire is god uwful today.

The worst I can recall. Like a dozen blatant missed pitches about 10 of which went against the Twins.

 

[golf]

18 yr old CF Byron Chourio off to a fast start at Ft. Myers (A). 1.350 ops.
Got him in the Lopez-Arraez trade.

At what point do you make the hitting coaches scapegoats?

 

[Ope3]

At what point do you make the hitting coaches scapegoats?

Since they set the record for whiffs last year, I am not sure what it will take. Looks like they are going to make a run at it again this season.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

At what point do you make the hitting coaches scapegoats?

Have you seen the guy? He's built like a brick shithouse. Pretty sure the nerds upstairs are scared to fire him. He probably came in and just took Rocco's office and parking space.

No Twins game today.

Feels like a win.

Sometimes you win.
Sometimes you lose.
Sometimes...it rains.
