Those were pretty much the exact words too. To answer your question: no clue. 

I don’t know if @Vanimal46 heard that part. I was kind of sleepwalking through the interview til that point.

There's a risk it becomes a dumpster fire, but this topic would be a pretty solid thread and a welcome departure from a lot of the click bait bs that's clogging up this site.

At least after this series we can kind of tune out and put our energy into the Vikings disappointing everyone and just missing the playoff again 

How have the Vikings been doing? I ain't paid attention... (i am cheap that way)

 

New management improving things?

Should have our first real sense of that after Sunday's game against GB.

The NFL season starts tomorrow night, which could realistically be a warning shot about irrelevance to Twins management …

Twins bullpen leads the A.L. Giving up 74   Longballs, Wonder whats wrong,- ??

Moran reminds me of former Indians great Rafael Perez.

Sb after sb. This is how analytics should be used. Find a weakness and exploit it.

Not enough offense?

This is easily fixable. Make pagan a starter.

Cave, solid play!

I used to be a HUGE Vikings fan, but as they are the eternal losers, have only paid any attention since 1976 with Favre and Keenum as quarterbacks.

The other 40 plus years, zip attention.

Nice throw Cave,  Will it matter ?

As if their lackluster play of late hasn't already started that ball rolling.

Cole out to start the seventh at 105 pitches. Not fair.

Not sure yet. But I can tell you that after watching them for as long as I have the Twins I know better than than to get my hopes up…

Cole is still out there, hmm, is that snubbing their nost as the Twins batters?

That means riding your horses as long as you can while they're still effective, because they're already stretched out enough to handle it and are trusted.

 I heard it as well and was concerned hearing it. If there are several players on this roster that are “psychologically afraid of failure” then you have a bad culture in the organization. A la Mike Zimmer creating such a rotten culture in the Vikings locker room people were afraid of making mistakes because they didn’t want to get yelled at.

It mattered to me.

The bullpen is weak and 5 innings is considered a successful start. Can’t win that way….and the offense is weak too

Imagine having a pitcher on roster that can confidently give you 6-7 innings in 90% of your starts… We used to have that. I miss Jose Berrios.

I flat out don’t believe him. If you make it to that level you have experienced failure already and also worked your butt off training etc for lots of years. You come tough if you make it to the majors or you don’t get there. It’s them. It’s Rocco it’s whoever but players aren’t inherently that soft.

Especially because GB is the opponent.
