Truly the offenses way of not caring who’s in the lineup but still producing is my favorite part of this team, but when your pitching is so inconsistent up and down it’s hard to buy in 100%
Julien needs to go back to St. Paul. He can’t hit, is iffy in the field and his baserunning is suspect. He is Farmer 2.0. Both need to be gone. Let Martin play 2b, he was a middle infielder at Vandy and in the minors.
Julien needs to be sent back to double A, he's having some kind of mental issues. That play at the plate with him coming home, that was half assed and has to be addressed.
it infuriates me how Rocco orders the "contact" play every single time when there's a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. it screwed them over yesterday its a terrible strategy
@@benjames4502 well the easiest way to eliminate a scoring threat is getting thrown out at home by 20 feet. It doesn’t matter who’s running at 3rd or if the infield is playing in or not, he calls for the contact play no matter what, which is just flat out a bad strategy
I wouldn’t blame Alcala too much. Blame Baldelli for putting him out there every game. He was out of gas. Baldelli sat on his hands while the Rangers went single, double, double, home run, home run before he made a move.
@@benjames4502 I want to know why Julien waltzed home on a ground ball with the infield in and didn’t even slide? Did Wave ‘Em Home Tommy send him or does Baldelli have them go on contact every time? It’s becoming a joke how many Twins runners on 3rd are thrown out by 15 feet at the plate with a drawn in infield.
@@Razorbacks1I think Julien is having mental issues, honestly he should be sent back to double A.

@@benjames4502you still don’t let alcala give up all the damage. Bring someone else in and if they fudge it up so be it. I don’t see why Thielbar is so far down, he hasn’t been good this year. But the bullpen has two really good ones but after that he’s earned it his career numbers are solid
I would have been fine trading polanco including Kepler and gotten pure prospects back, then signed Lugo and wacha. I did advocate for that, thank God Falvey's contract is up after this year.
Julien is my least fave Twins thing. Couldn’t he at least slide to try to avoid the tag? I’ve predicted every strikeout he’s had. He’s single A material, not StP
Just when I think Judd can't come up with any more abrasive bad takes, he rants about the little league world series taking away time from other programming on ESPN. Touch grass.
I think they need to bring Winder back to the bullpen. He was pitching really well. Write this down. Twins will win the division and Royals will finish 2nd place.
@@benjames4502 by the time Playoffs come. You’re not going to use all 3 rookie pitchers. Normally it’s a 3-4 starting rotation. Which you can use a couple those pitchers part of your bullpen. Roster opens up a little bigger when playoffs start as well. You have Carlos coming back soon. Brooks Lee and Buxton. There roster is stacked if all are healthy. Make a couple tweaks in the bullpen and will see. It’s not a horrible bullpen.
@@aronmick659game 1 starter possibilities, Ober vs cole, vs Burnes or vs Valdez. After that, the pitchers MN faces don't get any easier. Lopez and SWR are your game two and three starters, no team in baseball history has made a playoff run with three rookie starting pitchers.
@benjames4502 KC holds a wild card slot currently. I mean, I guess they could lose the rest of their games and not hold that spot, though the Yankees or Dodgers could as well and not hold their post season spots either. KC is a good team, one of the 6 best AL teams.
I do remember you saying back in April that Santana was a bust! LOL now look! His defense has been amazing! Plus the clutch hits!
This team is showing major resilience, but it's hard to get excited when pitching remains a major concern.
Truly the offenses way of not caring who’s in the lineup but still producing is my favorite part of this team, but when your pitching is so inconsistent up and down it’s hard to buy in 100%
You're not gonna make a playoff run with three rookie pitchers and a weak bullpen, ownership needs to be held accountable.
They better effing re-sign Santana. His glove and bat have been elite!!

Trade Julienne...i dont wanna see him in a Twins jersey...he sucks. And his joan of arc haircut is disgusting!!
@@derekduncan900unfortunately he literally has no value, I don't know if anyone would pick Julien if he was DFA'd.
@@benjames4502 ship him out regardless.
This team is setup to get to the playoffs, but the pitching has NO shot in a best of seven series against the top teams.
Even in a wild card game it's a crap shoot, ober is our best pitcher and in that circumstance you need a lights out ace.
Need Brooks Lee back for final stretch run and Correa at SS our INF will be set
it infuriates me how Rocco orders the "contact" play every single time when there's a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. it screwed them over yesterday its a terrible strategy
Amen 100%
Its small ball, I don't blame him due to the fact MN goes through ruts not scoring runs.

@@kameronerdman5870It's bad execution, we used to see Tom Kelly and Ron Gardenhire pull this off.
@@benjames4502 they still pull it off a good chunk of time
I remember when Santana was a catcher for Cleveland back in the day! And then 3B
How does Judd go from one of his worst takes to one if his best takes 🤣
Alcohol
Julien needs to be shut down for good like he feels neglected and has no competence.
I wouldn’t blame Alcala too much. Blame Baldelli for putting him out there every game. He was out of gas. Baldelli sat on his hands while the Rangers went single, double, double, home run, home run before he made a move.
I'm not putting this on bald-delli as he didn't have many choices in the bullpen, this is on Falvey and the Pohlad's for not reinforcing the team.

The bullpen is over used, the alternatives would likely ended the same way.
I could not disagree more with Judd's take on Little League love watching the kids play
I'm waiting for the overreaction to the game last night here in the comments 😃🍿
We beat up on a losing team, honestly I was more impressed with the wins against Kansas City.
@@benjames4502 can never complain about winning 3/4 games against any mlb team, except maybe the white sox
But I agree with your statement also
Polanco was strictly a salary dump.
I would have been fine trading polanco including Kepler and gotten pure prospects back, then signed Lugo and wacha. I did advocate for that, thank God Falvey's contract is up after this year.
They took on desclafani 10 mil
When Correa and Lee come back, where is Castro and Miranda going to play? Also, Buxton should be back soon as well
lee at second, miranda at third, castro in split time in left with wallner and lewis DH
Royals are hot but I think they’ve had an easy schedule lately. They are about to be in a gauntlet for the next month after their easy angels series
Just came to comment we all love a good Judd rant, this time on the Little League World Series. #JuddRants
Let’s go Cena. Cena sucks.
kurt angle "you suck, you suck, you suck, you suck"
Julien is my least fave Twins thing. Couldn’t he at least slide to try to avoid the tag? I’ve predicted every strikeout he’s had. He’s single A material, not StP
This team needs to stop blowing winnable games, it is DRIVING ME NUTS! WE COULD HAVE A WIDE MARGIN ON CLE & KC BY NOW BUT KEEP SHITTING THE BED!!
No chance Jax a starter next year

You like the Canadians, eh?
Im in love with the team this year, havent been a huge fan for years but the subplots around our team makes it great in my opinion. Fun team

Write this down. Twins will win the division and Royals will finish 2nd place.
Twins will get swept out the first round in the playoffs which will be a step back from last year, write that down.

You want to impress Mn Twins fans, win against good teams. Honestly, there's still no hope to win in the playoffs which is a step back from last year.
They have been beating good teams. Besides some. They just beat the Rangers who won the WS. Royals are a good team as well.
@@aronmick659Texas is a below average team, Kansas City isn't in a wild card spot yet.

@@thomasj3701I would put money on Houston or Seattle to take that wild card spot.
@@benjames4502 I’ll take that bet. KC has a two game lead over Houston and 5 game lead over Seattle.
