I was recently informed by a GPLer that I'm related to Airey
This isn’t surprising when the ownership sell off creates confusion in the locker room. When pohlads made it all about themselves the players are supposed to feel like it’s all about team? I don’t really blame anyone on that team for feeling anything they do. They were left to finish a season with a direction of rebuilding but yet trust is gone now. If you were a player on the twins with a contract year coming up you almost have to feel like trade bait knowing what just happened. It’s gotta be hard to crank up the intensity consistently after the big break up for some of the players that were just in the post season a couple years ago.
The problem is he's been statistically one of the worst hitters in baseball over the last 20 months. If he wants to get paid to "take care of himself and his family" you'd think he'd take a step back and realize whatever he's trying to do without the assistance of the coaching staff is not working and he'd go into the film room and start making some adjustments to get back to the guy that had Twins fans and all of MLB in a tizzy for how great he was hitting. Most of the changes they'd make at this point aren't massive swing changes. They're more likely hand starting position, load position, etc. They aren't going to overhaul his entire swing path in-season. But minor changes like changing your hand setup or load setup can be done in a couple days worth of work and pay immediate dividends.
And that’s fair, I don’t know Royce or what he’s saying at the dinner table I’m just sayin I get his frustration with the organization and probably can’t wait for this season to be over. His performance isn’t typical Royce I don’t know if his care level is where it should be either right now.
That too is an indictment of Royce.
They won today 5-1and stole home plate in the 6th I do not remember anyone doing this since Rod Carew
