I would like to see room made for Kirilloff, Larnach and Lewis on the roster next year. These guys all have some pop and batting average potential. Dumping Sano and his 200 strikeouts a year would help facillitate that.

Add at least a veteran upgrade (Bauer) from Stinky and Homer to allow Duran or Balazovic a shot at the # 5 starter.

You know you have major problems when the Vikings and even more so, the Wolves have more playoff wins than the Twins since 2004

I'm hoping not. Enjoy 5 innings per outing at 15 mill elsewhere.

I didn't care to hear rocco on the postgame

Any excuse / reason he didn't go farther doesn't matter to me. One of his worst decisions.

EVERY other broadcast after our game, every announcer was saying … "somethings wrong in Minnesota, THAT team should win playoff games"
EVERY analyst, color guy, ex-player, all said … "too good of a team to be doing this"

When that happens, heads gotta roll, Falvine.

Pete sent me that Quoted garbage.

Who gives a crap. CHOKED.

Scapegoats will go. At least one hitting coach. Maybe the bench coach. Maybe sacrifice the first base coach.

Issues there. Enema needed.

Cruz with a balky knee still did his part...WTH.

Sano was brutal all September. Offensively and defensively.

.148 for September 39 strikeouts in 81 at bats. 12 hits. 6 homers.

August was his "hot month" hitting .284. Then they fed him off speed until he couldn't recognize a fastball soon enough.

Auto-out

But to me the Sano thing is very very tough

To me ….. he is DAVID ORTIZ
The way we feel about Sano right now is how I felt about Ortiz here
And I was so happy we cut ties.
And the rest is history as they say
I have NO IDEA what to do with him.
I know what it feels like right now, but …..

and yeah, yeah, hes not Ortiz, yadda yadda .. I get it
But it feels like the same frustrating problem child

THE most frustrating player on the team.

The pitching didn't lose this series for the Twins. The way the pitching staff was handled was brutal, but they gave up 4 and 3 runs in the two games against the Astros. If you can't generate more than one run, you aren't going to win many games.

He's never hit above .262 in any season. At some point you have to give me more than robbing a guy of a home run every 25 games.
