Twins 2023 Thread

Yeah I guess. Bremer said it last night and I swear he said 9th in MLB.

Yeah 9th in AL. What is really sad is the 6 teams behind them, 4 of them are in the central.

He probably did. He doesn’t have much of a brain left.

The central is a complete dumpster fire. The worst team in the AL East, the Red Sox, are a dead even .500 and the Twins are leading the central at 1 game below .500. Someone has to win the division though.

That said part is they are wasting the first quality pitching rotation we’ve had in 25 years.

This team is just as capable of ripping off 10 wins in a row as they are of losing 10 in a row.

Keep the faith…China Doll will be back to lead them to the promised land.

That’s the most positive Dutch I have seen. Did those aliens land in your yard.
What makes you think they can win ten in a row?

Pitching.

This is the truth. The bats will come no way they continue this pace.

They haven’t won more that 4 in a row a third of the way through the season. I think it is more likely they win the division barely breaking 500 or get caught and not being able to put up more than 2 runs in any first round playoff game or meaningful games down the stretch.

No doubt starting pitching has been good.

Big escape by Gray in the 5th. Bases loaded with 1 out and he escapes. 2-1 twinks after 5.

Man, this offense… Have played 8 games in June and scored 17 runs (10 in the last 7). Getting old

Averaging 10+ strikeouts/game. Embarrassing. How’s that analytic working for you Rocco?

He’ll point to Buxton not getting hurt playing the outfield and his replacement with 9 homeruns. I’m guessing the hitters heads are so messed up at this point they couldn’t break a Piñata even if they weren’t blindfolded.

Taylor has been one of the most reliable pieces on the roster. I mean he shows up to work every day, he comes through in clutch situations, bunts, steals and has a cannon for an arm. basically a 5 tool player unlike the 60 year old guy at DH

Twins need to replace their entire training & medical staff, the amount of injuries year after year on this team is ridiculous…

Hitting coach is brilliant. Says we are going to change our two strike approach to making contact…..

Isn’t that what it should’ve been all season???? I can’t stand new age baseball strategies.

I wonder if Sano has an extra bedroom for Buxton? He’s never going to come back as he did that ONE great year. Lots of similarities.

11 K’s through 5 innings……Looks like they’re really working on a more contact oriented approach….

3 singles and a Correa bomb following a Homerun by Larnach has them back in front despite all the strikeouts.

Hello Carlos!

Is he coming out if his slump finally?

Kepler just adds a 3 run shot.

Wow even centennial man Kepler gets into one!

hopefully this little outburst gives them a confidence boost

Didn’t they just do that in the offseason?

They sure did.

Who would have thunk that Twins’ games are now shorter than Vikings’ games.

Bats are still humming to start this game out. 4 spot against Gausman in the first. Hopefully they keep adding to that.

I would expect Gausman to stop the bleeding and hold them.

I don’t understand why Kirilloff isn’t starting every game. I really like Julian in the lead-off spot.

Pagan-ed again.
