Doesn’t help when you throw the ball around the yard. Just hope the pitching holds up until the bats bring in more than one or two runs.

I don’t know the # of attempts but my assumption is that it is super low. They don’t even try to run which makes no sense. Especially when you clearly can’t hit the ball.
I'm getting closer and closer to wanting to replace Rocco
I'm not there yet but completely respect this take. My fear is that you would lose the clubhouse as I think the players really like that guy. But if you're not winning and can't hit the broad side of a barn.....

Foolish take. This FO has:
1. Acquired Joe Ryan, a #2 type starter for half a season of Nelson Cruz.
2. Acquired Pablo Lopez who's been phenomenal so far.
3. Drafted and developed Ober who pretty much no one thought would be a good starter in MLB coming out of college.
4. Traded for Gray who's been great.
Yeah pitcher health has been an issue but that's always a crapshoot. It's especially comical to criticize their ability to spot pitching when the Twins are currently rocking the second lowest team ERA in baseball. And they've done so without leaving the farm system bereft of talent or having a Yankees or Mets esque payroll.
Scary to say it but Pagan has been terrific during May.

I don't trust him but I'm starting to trust him a little.

Nah, now make a list of all the guys they spent money and prospect capital that have arm issues in the last 5 years. They’ve hit on a couple, I don’t disagree. And part of why the guys are gettable for the Twins is because they have question marks. But there was a reason the medical staff was canned in the off season.
I think it’s time for Twins to give up the idea that Max is ever going to be anything more than a marginal starter. Since the miracle 2019 he’s ranged between should be a bench guy to a mediocre starter. He just doesn’t produce like you need a corner outfielder to on a good team.
I would have to agree with this. I think Max is who he is. I don't see much more improvement.
