****OFFICIAL 2020 MINNESOTA TWINS THREAD****
- Thread starter SCyclone
- Start date
This is so disappointing. Sano has to go. Rosario has to go. Polanco has to go. Jeffers, Rooker, and Kirlloff have to be the future.
Could not agree more. It's obvious that the team as currently composed has no chance to do anything in the post season. And frankly, winning the AL Central and getting swept isn't good enough - when this team is capable of so much more.
This is easily the most fragile organization in sports. These guys were mentally beaten before this series even started. 18 straight playoff losses. How is that even possible?! You have to even luck into a win every now and then.
Time to make some changes and bring in some players that have the mindset to WIN in the playoffs.

just a few years ago the national pundits were saying how these were guys you could build around
These guys talking up the trash can bangers is disgusting. Not hard to beat the Twins, or anybody, when you only have 3 or 4 hits a game.
Way too quick to move on from guys after a 60 game season. None of the 3 you name look to be franchise players at this point but given they are relatively cheap shipping them off for a bad return is foolish.
Letting them score more runs to set up a bigger comeback is a bold strategy. Let's se if it pays off.
Also, my statements are not just stemming from a 60 game season. Polanco was terrible after all star break last year. Rosario has always been Rosario, and Sano struck out 44% of the time this year, and was terrible last year too, plus his glove is a - in the field.
Just once I'd like to see them bring in guys that don't consistently get behind in counts, chase ridiculous pitches out of the zone, and strike out at break neck pace. This team is like the NFL ravens. They need to have success early in the game, and they need to do it explosively. But if they get behind they have almost no chance of catching up because of their style, which is mash or bust. They go belly up quick
Agree, that K stat is so bad I don't know what the Twins do with Sano.
The Twins finally had a little pitching this year and their bats waste it.
Wait if Sano was up in the 8th how is he up again in the 9th? I didn’t know you could do that. Did he have a 0-0 count when Buxton was out?
