Utah Twins Fan

Safe to say it comes down to pitching like normal, and if Paddock can go 6/7 innings it will get team on right start and keep bullpen fresh coming off the off day. You follow him up with two guys throwing the ball very well so hopefully he can set the tone early for the Twins

Very good break down. As you said a lot of ?? , but a lot to be optimistic about as well

I guess that’s where people can differ and debate, and what’s makes it fun. My feeling is they can field like all stars, but if you can’t pitch it won’t matter but again only my opinion and only time will tell.

Again you are not answering the point about how do you obtain good starting pitching ?? Just asking the stystem” has produced who besides Berrios that’s proven…… I’ll wait ……

Give me a break we are not trotting Ty Wignham out there lol!!!! You all act like after Kepler it’s a bunch of weekend softball drunk players like ourselves on the 40 man roster Cave is gone lol…. Pitching wins, always has and starting pitching always wins….. unfortunately the team we love hasn’t addressed that in forever and when it comes to fixing it people act like it just “magically” happens…. You have to give to get is all I’ve said and if you want a quality arm it will take a quality piece to get it. Just an old weekend drunk softball 40 somethings opinion.

And doesn’t matter who’s in the outfield when the ball is flying over the fence for the other team.

Cause they have no good starting pitching…. Best one they had is in Toronto.

Let’s hope not!

Or as I said before Kepler. I just read they were willing to trade 2 pitchers Weathers and Paddock for Reynolds from Pitt, but Pitt said no so Kepler, or Rooker or Miranda and for one….. I know Reynolds is a right handed bat but they must need outfielders

So Hosmer or Sano at first I know most of time they want AK to play there as well but…..

Mike here is what they have listed right now Darvish Musgrove Mike Clevinger Nick Martinez Blake Snell Chris Paddack MacKenzie Gore Ryan Weathers plus Meanea my math isn’t the best but that’s 9 for a 5 man rotation so something has to be in the works for them not saying it’s the Twins they will trade with but it’s safe to say Twins would take any of these guys

I get it but if you want quality arms you’re going to have to give up something so who is it. He’s under control I get it but that’s what a team wants if they are going to give up a starter… I mean if they are willing to take a Rooker or AA player by all means but I think it’s going to take more to get a quality arm

Would Kepler to Padres make sense just asking???

Possible trade coming ??

I agree with Mike I really think a trade or release of Sanchez is coming

He’s more than likely already one and done I’m afraid

Just one man’s opinion I still think they pivot and trade with someone like the Marlins or Orioles.

The thing is I know we all want starters but I’m actually concerned about lack of arms in bullpen as well. If we don’t have solid 4th/5th starter or even 3rd we really need a solid bullpen which I don’t know if I can truly say they have right now. I would love them to go and solidify that as well.

Are we all in agreement that Eddie's on the way out. His antics and lack of producing in clutch moments and sometimes totally worrying about only Eddie has ran it's course...... or just could be me lol... is he still under contract for 2021 or RFA????

Joey as I watched these past two games I was thinking the same thing that there needs to be some change to the "core" players. They have tried tough love with this group "Gardy" they have tried " New School approach" with Rocco and neither has seemed to trigger that edge that is needed in pressure situations. I agree with NDTwins Fan a rebuild will be tough to stomach but a retool is needed. Keep JD, Buck, Luis, and Sano and Cruz if he wants but man his body language in dugout seemed like he was over it hope I'm wrong. Lewis, and Rooker, and Kiroloff need to see what is up and if they are the next group to possibly move this team forward cause this current group has been giving plenty of opportunities to do so and unfortunately seems to not be working.

I’ve said this before twins need to DL Berríos to give him a rest he seems to be tiring out or dead arm either way use the chance to give him some time so he’s ready for stretch run

Ya it’s called they miss managed him all year and have used him way to much and I would hate for him to suck when it matters most

I think all twins fans are intrigued by the thought of a power arm in the bullpen especially after this season and the results we’ve seen! But as much as it kills me I think they are playing it right here and making sure he’s all the way back from the injury. Bring him up in a few weeks when rosters expand and make a strong push in Sept. On a side not I wish the Twins would think outside the box somewhat and place Rogers and Jose on the IL for a week for “ dead” arm aka rest the schedule let’s up here a bit and need fresh arms for playoffs and playoff push.

Only if we had 3 healthy RH bats Buxton Cruz and Turtle man that would be a heck of a lineup

Will be only time I ever say go Yankees this year but Go Yanks!
