ORIGINAL: twinsfan It's a bad team right now. Julien continues to prove he's the worst defensive 2B I've ever seen in the major leagues. Correa needs to come back to stop the bleeding. Lee and Buxton both need to come back to put us out of the misery of Austin Martin. I'd say Jax should have stayed in to at least face Ozuna with the fake runner on 2nd base in the 10th. I was actually shocked he did not return for at least Ozuna. But Rocco sticks to his playbook. Kinda like Gardy. Weirdos. Kepler shows up his 3rd base coach. Rocco is pissed at Kepler now. I heard it on the postgame radio show. I was at the game last night. Fun atmosphere, and I guess that's what's most important. I still have 5 more games to attend in the regular season. The playoffs also look like a good possibility, but probably on the road for the 1st "round." As this team is currently structured, we would be one of the worst playoff teams in the history of MLB. Bad team? They have overachieved w/o a true 4th or 5th starter that they could have signed for 6-7 million. There was Lorenzen on others we got outbid by KC and lesser payrolls for. Falvey and Lavine had to spend while they could....Farmer, Margot, Santana, etc were signed before the straps where tightened more. Once they announced they were cutting payroll last fall I made a decision not to go to game as many others have.....easy to understand attendance wows. This team has overachieved. Long list of overachievers to put us at 12 games over .500: SWR, Lee, Miranda, Santana, etc. saved their bacon.
