@Shanemansj13 What happened to Civale? He was pretty good last year. The Twins beat his brains in last night along with that poor reliever.

Taking out some aggression after getting clobbered by the Astros.

The twins are what the twins are. They are gonna bang the ball around against poor pitching, but line em up against quality, and it's gonna be Kokomo.

Twins with a good sweep against a badly struggling Oakland team.

Now the big test begins tomorrow with Houston coming to town.

He sucks dick. He never had velocity but now he can’t locate. It’s all bad and no coming back. Lucky for CLE they have a ton of SP’s that deserve to come up soon and they have great velocity.

Gavin Williams and Danny Espino will replace Plesac and Civale eventually. Civale should be moved down asap

Twins take the series against Cleveland. I was pissed about the result last night because they couldn't capitalize, leaving the bases juiced with no outs and losing in extras, while keeping Buxton on the bench for the feeble hitting Nick Gordon.

That white flag bullshit is exactly why Rocco will never and should never win manager of the year. I wouldn't vote for him if the team wins 110 games, because he costs us more games than he wins for us with his nerd ball bullshit. Now he is babying a player who should be a viable MVP candidate, but won't be because he is on the bench 1/3rd of the time.

Joe Ryan's performance today saved the weekend for the home team, but it doesn't make me forget about last night.

Got the Series win in Oakland. Still sucks that we had to send Royce Lewis back down. He is legitimately a top 3 hitter in this lineup and we can't fit him in because he plays the same position as Correa.

Almost Any SS is athletic and skilled enough to move to 3B or LF. He's also played CF for the many, many days that we give Buxton off. Find a way to keep his bat in the lineup!

Twins looking good.

Twins looking good.

My Tigers ... not so much.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Twins are rolling right now. Thank you Yankees for taking that asshole Donaldson off of our hands. Gary and Gio are fitting in great!

For the record, I hate the Twins ... that is a compliment ... they are good.

Max Kepler whining "It's sad that we can't be together as a team."

You knew the rules Kep! Don't get vaccinated and you can't play in Toronto! This is on you!

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Needed that win badly tonight, because Bundy vs. Cole is almost unwinnable tomorrow.

Caught Nestor on a rare off day, but we will take it.

Twins continue to be the worst run organization in sports.

Still no pitching. Bundy is just like the Shoemaker and every other trash heap signing we make hoping one will finally be good.

Depth is shot. All our talented arms we keep trying to turn into relievers. Duran we didnt even try as a MLB starter. Sounds like Canterino will be the same.

We are fucking scheduling "rest days" for Buxton and Correa on the same day. While starting Chi Chi Gonzalez. Even if we pull the miracle and win, its fucking stupidity.

Kiriloff is still in the minors beyond any reasonable logic. THey fear losing Nick Gordon to waivers?!?!?! Nick fucking Gordon and his career OPS in AAA of sub .700?? THe same guy who allowed a inside the park homer off pure lazieness and incompetence?!?!

Just a terribly run organization. With even half compentence our rosters over the years would routinely, win a few big games.

 

[navamind]

oh man, hope everything is okay with him.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Alex Kiriloff has 10 homers in 26 games in AAA with a .396 average and a .762 slugging %.

The Minnesota Twins are the only organization in baseball that would have him in the minors right now.

You could literally put him on this team for any player not named Buxton/Correa/Arraez and it would be a good move.

We are currently playing many games with 2 catchers one of them being rancid ass Jeffers. Kiriloff cant be our DH?? He cant play 1B instead of -0.7 WAR Miranda? Replace Nick Gordon the worst utility player ive ever seen?? Shit even Larnach is hitting .135 his last 15 games(and was brutal last year when Kiriloff wasnt). Kepler has been the same .400 slugging player for 7 years aside from 2019.

For the record. I like both Miranda and Larnach. But this is asinine.
