I was joking when I suggested this last month, I'm not joking anymore!  This team has no juice at all.  Molitor's low key, funeral director approach may have worked on a young, transitioning roster if he'd had a track record of managerial success.  But he don't.  We need to get someone in here who will get these guys playing with passion and fire.  Make the game into a first trip to Vegas, instead of a weekly Bunion scraping at the Podiatrist.  I'd dump the whole staff, as well.  It probably means the rest of 2016 will be a dumpster fire, but even that is preferable to the smoldering landfill that it is now.

Yes to cleaning house. No to anything to do with Ozzie. 

Hey, I'd be all for Ozzie if for no other reason than his post game interviews.  They were always hysterical!

No.

Ozzie is a clown.  Should have nothing to do with this team.

It would be a bad a bad baseball move. Closed and shut.

 

We need to get someone in here who will get these guys playing with passion and fire. 

I was always told to not play with fire.

Make Will Ferrell the manager and let him give finches to all of the players to reward them for their efforts.

Let Ozzie have a half season, it can't get any worse than it is now. If he turns them

around then the new GM can decide if he wants to keep him.

 

Or just fire Mollie and bring up dougie baseball....

Just no.

Let Ozzie have a half season, it can't get any worse than it is now.

People keep saying it can't get any worse. And then Chargois comes up and posts a 67.5 ERA. You have to get three outs to end an inning; it can ALWAYS get worse.

If he turns it around, why would there be a new GM?

I guess I have to agree.  This team needs something truly radical.

Wait a sec.  Ozzie, as in Ozzie Guillen?  LOL

 

Ozzie was such a desirable commodity that he's now managing in Venezuela.  And he hasn’t managed since the Marlins fired him in October 2012 after one season.

 

And there's this little tidbit:

By "turn it around" I mean be able to by some miracle get the Twins to 70 wins.

 

GM, Asst GM, etc all need to go no matter what happens the rest of the season (baring the greatest turnaround in the history of sports.

I am totally on board with this.  I actually kind of like Ozzie.

 

But, then again, I am totally on board with anyone except:  "The Twins announced Ron Gardenhire will be the interim manager for the rest of the season."

 

Why Molly is still in that dugout is beyond me.

Ozzie would at least give people a reason to watch.  There literally is no point in watching this team right now if the weather is nice outside/other things to do.

It starts with the front office. An overhaul there. The manager can also go and maybe the hitting coach. You trea

d carefully on promoting a future in-organization manager right away, unless you are willing to commit to THEIR way of thinking. But if there is a general manager change, you need to make that first so THEY CAN HIRE who they wish to work with.

 

Add hands-on-president and give him a say in the organization. Have a solid general manager. Two major position changes.

 

Or sell the team (which may take too long).

Or a reason not to watch.

This organization needs to put development of its young prospects as its highest priority. For the rest of this season we need a manager who can do that. I think make Mientkiewicz interim manager and tell him to pretend his players are all AA players. (Unfortunately, that shouldn't be hard to do.)

Alright,  alright, ...Ozzie is a bit too much.  But seriously, it's time to do something.  I suppose Dougie is next in line, but I wouldn't mind fresh blood with a new perspective.  Wasn't Torey Lovullo or Demi Lovato or someone a hot candidate last time?

As for Lovullo, you won't get him during the season. I think Demi Lovato would be great, though.

That Demi Lovati throw-in was priceless. If the Twins ever get any October baseball, she could sing Frozen during the 7th inning stretch.
