Smeltzer was gone when he questioned the early hook he got in mid season. From golden boy to has been.

How about a steal, a bunt, or a hit and run to create some runs and excitement instead of waiting for the 5 run homer every night. I also do not think the team is sound fundamentally. These guys have been playing baseball for over 20 years. No excuse for such lack of base running skills and fielding mistakes. Watch the good teams.

When they tried to get us to swallow he would be fine in right field I got worried. Then it was third base, then first base then DH with no justification for his spot in the lineup. Then we hoped Cruz would mentor him. He’s had the most chances of anybody I can remember. Kepler is not far behind. Time to move on.

I lost interest when they took a knee. Started watching fewer games and found other interests. The George Floyd sign in RF hasn’t helped. When I watch sports, I need no lectures or reminders about any politics, especially from players and announcers. Does every activity on TV have to have a message?

Sano had his turn and is a bust. Give Rooker a decent look and go from there. Does Larnach seem disinterested to you? Poor base running, lack of basic fundamentals in the outfield, Sano-like Ks. Disappointed in him.

Sano has got to go figure it out somewhere else. Except for a homer every 25 at bats he strikes out like a pitcher. Wasted spot in the lineup.

I wish you would also have mentioned their ages at their signing. But thanks.

The time is now! No more prospect hoarding. Any of you old enough to remember Derek Parks? I do. Falvey helped build Cleveland pitching staff. Give this a chance.

They cheated! Find the guilty parties and suspend them. Cheating also prohibits HOF consideration.

If they deaden the ball like it sounds, the Twins will be in trouble. 7 guys with warning track power equals a lot fewer wins.

Why didn’t he bring in Rogers in the 5th? That game was on the line right there. Not in the 8th or ninth. A stop at that time could have changed everything. Think outside the box.

Like bilateral leg weaknesses?

Looks like another great excuse for why Sano had such a slow start and didn’t reach potential.

Molitor is not to blame for any of the failures of Sano or Buxton. He sure got stupid a year after being named manager of the year didn’t he? Those two have been hurt or underachieved since they came up.

Three words: bilateral leg weakness

I agree it was a bad signing to begin with. Too many Ks. Look overmatched and frustrated last year.
