    I was at that game in august when he threw the 1hitter rod Carew hit two home runs that game we drive down from Duluth, to the old Met, to a teeming crowd. I remember driving back to Duluth that night with my two coworkers, stating this was the best game we all would ever see in person it was, at least for me

    Just hope he is not another John Castino

    Face it twins won’t pay that for either one of the shortstops. Time to bring in the young talent and build with them. It’s the every year dream of Twins fans to get some top talent, but we always over pay for old players on the downward slope

    Really!! who cares where he goes? Twins will not offer that long contract to a non homegrown player, because it is foolish to do so. Lewis will be the Ss for next 5 seasons and he will then leave via free agency wash, repeat, wash small market payroll reality

    Twins are one if the few fiscally smart teams. Not paying for long term contracts that seldom work out for any team. A rare exception was the Mauer contract. One only needs look at the last few years of that contract to see the foolishness of over a five year contract.

    What does that picture tell you about this weak lineup? a player with a gray beard ends up the hitting star of the game go figure
  7. TruthInDuluth
    This typifies the real issue of how multi year contracts for 27-30 year old stars are a real cr.. shoot. The talent does not necessarily stay at the early level or increase. Often the talent slowly melts into being only an average player at his position. How often does the player really earn his big contract in upcoming years? More often than not, he is being rewarded for his past play, not the value he brings in the new contract

    Too many holes in this years lineup to really compete in the playoffs look at our record vs yanks,astros,brewers we need catcher, two starters, and 2 relief pitchers seriously think those holes can be fixed with trades? Who would bring that value?
  9. TruthInDuluth
    All these posts about getting good relief pitchers from other teams. Realistically, who will give up quality relief pitchers? We would give up way too much in trade to pick up an average relief man. Keep the team, play for next season(like was anticipated in spring). Bring up some minor league pitchers, get their feet wet. Dump the dead weight in bullpen to the free agent list. Great core of young players reminds me of mid 80’s

    Just leave the team as it exists trades are someone stealing your prospects for their garbage usually the offense is good enough to overcome the pitching, but not if you trade some of the cogs in the offensive wheel
  11. TruthInDuluth
    Hold firm. They are winning. if still in first after the 8 games with Cleveland, then maybe think about a move. But any moves will be costly to our upcoming offensive talent
  12. TruthInDuluth
    If the team advances, and it looks likely at this point, the starters will not be burned out. They will do 7 innings in the playoffs. Great job by coach in this era of pitchers with no arms worth complete games. Bullpen will hash its way out as to top to bottom by year end,placing staff in good position to win
  13. TruthInDuluth
    Keep the team as it stands. The starting pitching is returning for injury list. Rocko is using the starters with limited innings, yes, he is burning up the bullpen, but those arms can be replaced in AAA. Those starters will go 7 innings in crunch time if we get there. Carlos will stick around next year(for a raise), if he thinks team can win a series. Market will be great for him in 2024
  14. TruthInDuluth
    After the bullpen non performance yesterday, we should be ready to realize that what was said preseason, this is a building year. Lots of excitement early , but losing 4of5 to tigers shows where this team really is, a .500 team by season end. So, no to Perez
  15. TruthInDuluth
    Pagan ninth innings are a reincarnation of Ron Davis
  16. TruthInDuluth
    Twins have been hesitant to dump Sano because of the bad luck they had with dumping “big poppy” and him becoming a star in Boston they gave given Sano every opportunity to improve, but face it, he can’t hit the curveball. Flails in his big over swing time to move on
  17. TruthInDuluth
    Time for Twins to cut their losses and dump Sano
