    I thought that was the GM’s job.
  2. cHawk
    If he stays healthy, 40-45 maybe?
  3. cHawk
    But does it though? I think it falls on the coaching staff as a whole, not just the manager. Maybe I’m wrong, IDK.

    The key words here are “and his staff.” And “his staff” is a lot of coaches. If you want to blame the coaching staff as a whole, I can see where you’re coming from, even though I disagree. But you can’t pin all of that on the manager. Baldelli was also a very fundamentally sound player when he played the game. I don’t believe the bad fundamentals are coming from him. The situational hitting issues and the run manufacturing issues do not fall on the manager, they fall on the hitting coach, Edgar Varela. Baldelli’s team did not struggle with either of those two things in 2019 when the hitting coach was James Rowson. I don’t believe the offense is a Baldelli problem.

    I think we can trust Jax with a 2.80 ERA over 25 appearances. Outside of Jax, Thielbar, and Duran, the Twins need 1-2 more relievers at the deadline.

    I agree with you, I wouldn’t trust Pagan in the 8th Inning of a 1-run game. I would’ve used Thielbar in the 8th and then Duran in the 9th.
  7. cHawk
    I mean if he were to run the 102MPH heater out in the 8th, he would still need someone to pitch the 9th. Because Pagan blew the lead, there was no Bottom of the 9th. Now maybe Duran could pitch both the 8th and the 9th, but he’s only pitched multiple innings 7 times in 26 appearances this year. I don’t think it’s fair to criticize Baldelli for not counting on Duran to pitch two innings. Also you do not know that Baldelli is a detriment to the Twins. Managers are not as big of a part of the equation in the modern game as you might think. There are many other coaches and personnel that all play a part. If you want to criticize him for the bullpen meltdowns, please consider the fact that he only has 2-3 reliable bullpen arms to work with. That’s not his fault.

    And……C4 flies out. That was fun.
  13. cHawk
    Ah Yeah IDK. He hasn’t been that good for a while
  14. cHawk
    going on where?
  15. cHawk
    Joe Ryan is the best pitcher in baseball and the Twins will win 90 games and go to the playoffs this year! GO TWINS GO!!!!
  16. cHawk
    *gasps for air* Ahh…that’s nice. WTF JOE RYAN
  17. cHawk
    I’m stealing that pie. Go ahead and give me warning points
  18. cHawk
    That pie is mine now
  19. cHawk
    No this is correct
  20. cHawk
    Will make note
  21. cHawk
    I really hope the Twins can manage one run against that pitching staff
  22. cHawk
    It was a joke. I like me a good pitcher’s duel
  23. cHawk
    Ugh, this game is ****ing BORING
  24. cHawk
    I believe we’ve had a discussion before on HOW to address the Twins’ bullpen. The next question is WHO to address it with. Just like every year at the trade deadline, there are going to be many RPs on the move. Some big names, some not as big names. The Twins absolutely need RP help, so they will likely be in the running for some of these names. Which RPs would you like to see the Twins go after at the deadline and why?
  25. cHawk
    They scored 5 runs on Tuesday and 10 on Thursday…”continuing to be terrible” is inaccurate.
