Agree. The most recent example is how poorly they managed the Buxton and Correa IL situation. Waiting, waiting, waiting on two guys, who are not hitting anyway, while your club is down two position players. Perfect opportunity to see if two young guys can help you hit but the Twins, again, are probably paranoid about options.
Its almost comical how bad the hitting is. Hitting coach needs to get fired.
I'm certain Correa (2 for 2 with a HR as we speak) and Buxton will come around and they've got some good pieces, but to expect the pitching staff to keep doing what its doing is a lot to ask.
Hopefully they can limp into the playoffs and then have everything click for a few weeks.

I assume they have something very specific that they want Wallner to work on. Also, Wallner has the reputation for being very bad defensively (aside from the arm). Larnach is only sorta bad defensively.
But Wallner is hitting the living piss out of the ball right now...... You'd think that would be a priority for a team not able to hit at all.
And what hot hitting DH would Wallner be taking ABs from? Kirilof deserves ABs. To an extent Taylor, Correa and Jeffers due to the positions they play. This is a team full of guys playing low value defensive positions and not hitting at all. Wasting the pitching to develop defense on a guy that could potentially help them as a DH is stupid.
I'd put Wallner in LF and deal with the defense. Or get rid of Kepler and put him in RF.
When healthy, I think Gallo, Polanco, Correa and Lewis are locked in on IF. Taylor in CF. Buxton at DH, Kiriloff somewhere. Obviously everyone gets a day off here and there, so Kiriloff can bounce around between corner OF and 1B.
I see you're on full tilt @RonBurgundy. Have fun on your dumbing spree!
Correa has such a sexy swing. Exactly what he needs to be for the Twins today.
Pagone with another three run homer to lose the sweep. Why is Rocco the only guy that can’t see that Pagone just is not a high leverage big league reliever?
I don’t disagree but I don’t know that that’s all on him. Why does the front office not just eat the contract that is clearly worthless?
