    It's great watching the Twins win these games. So many contributions from role players. Great pitc

    Nice job Twins. 12 game winning streaks are great. What's even better is the great Pitching and and the resiliency of the young players coming through in clutch moments. IMO losing Castro would be very bad. His ability to play so many positions is vital to the teams success with all the injuries. Let's get number 13 in a row Saturday. Go Twins!

    Clemens has been a very reliable and valuable addition . Plus he's produced some big help in tough situations at the plate. But he sure isn't a defensive help especially at 1st base. But thank you Kody for helping us out in this nice 10 game winning streak.

    The article is very positive. We need some positivity. Lewis? Who knows? Remember he finished last season very poorly at a time we needed him most. He claimed after playing 80 games he was tired. My oh my. I hope he comes around. Let's not forget that the Twins were 7-13 in their first 20 games and played terribly. They are 14-6 in their next 20 games. Great job. But let's be realistic here. The people that said when they were 7-13 kept saying it's early. Well their 14-6 record since doesn't YET make them champions. It's still too early right? I guess not if we are winning. It's a good thing we started winning or we would be way behind as Cleveland, Detroit, and Kansas City are even hotter. Great job Twins!!

    Surprised Baldelli sent in Jax. He has now pitched in 4 of past 5 days. Alcala hasn't pitched at all. Stewart has pitched on̈ce and sands twice. He had other options. I'm glad it worked out. I just hope they don't burn out Jax. He's thrown 76 pitches this week.

    I also have fond memories of Herb Carneal. I grew up listening to his great voice and knowledge. I could always visualize what was happening by the way he described the game. Plus there were times that nothing was said for a few seconds. This was awesome as you could hear fans in the stands. Announcers now can never shut up. Except Cory Provus. I love him too. But corneal was special.

    FanGraphs is a joke. As is many of the new analytics. The Twins with this FO frequently dumpster dived for bargain basement deals. It hardly ever works. The 3 additions mentioned are nk different. They are playing well now. The kind of baseball that is fun to watch but it took them 40 games just to get to 500. Making FanGraphs seem like a legit financial estimator is as silly as saying Correa is underpaid at 35 million a year. Ridiculous.
  8. Whitey333
    Yes for sure on Mauer. He was awesome plus being home grown talent. The Twins didn't have much choice. They HAD to sign him. Buxton not so much. He's having a great year NOW but essentially it took 10 years for this to happen. The estimates of FanGraphs has always been a joke. Over estimating a players worth and contributions. FanGraphs is the LAST baseball source for me. Must be put out by the players association lol

    Nice to see some good baseball for a change. I'm not sure how long it will last but it is fun. It's a good thing too. We are still 7 games behind first place Detroit . But just think of how far behind we would be if we weren't winning. Keep it up Twins!
  10. Whitey333
    Nice streak for Twins. Great to see Buxton playing so well!! It has taken 10 years to get him to this point. I hope he continues to have a great season. The Twins will need that.
  11. Whitey333
    Another article of analytics gone wild. Nonsense.
  12. Whitey333
    Nice game Twins. A thorough win in all areas. A little worried about Lewis. Not his 0 for 3 but he looked fragile running. One time he quickly grabbed his hamstring. To me he didn't look healthy. I hope he is truly ok.
  13. Whitey333
    Ryan has pitched great. Do we need to analyze the validity in calling him an ace? Does it matter? Also he came to us in a trade with Tampa Bay. I don't think he's been with the Twins organization since day one. He has been awesome. Ace status or not.
  14. Whitey333
    Yes the Twin̈s front office has issues. I think they do a rotten job
  15. Whitey333
    I'm guessing it's Gasper and Clemens to go. But does it really matter? They have plenty of options. They are still 7 games out of first place in the Central. The thing is it's early in the season is getting late. We've been saying this since the team started 0-4. When is it don't worry it's early? A slumping Oriole team comes to town on Tuesday. The Twins need to sweep them or at least take 2 of three. Anything less is a total failure. Royce Lewis needs to prove he can stay on the field AND be productive. Put up or shut up.
  16. Whitey333
    Let's see here: team is 13-20. 8 games behind first place Detroit. Nothing changes. They waste good starting pitching and can't hit or score runs. Their record since last August is abysmal. Oh well. Let's see what happens Saturday haha.
  17. Whitey333
    A typical issue with Baldelli is over-using analytics. Way over thinking the game and not being able to or willing to, make changes or adjustments to his "plan". It sure has worked well. The Twins have missed the playoffs 3 of the past 4 seasons and will likely miss again in 2025 as their 13-19 record shows. Analytics has a place in the game but Baldelli and the Twins way over emphasize it in place of good old common sense.
  18. Whitey333
    It was a good game. They lost 2-1. Not the end of the world. We should rebound Wednesday with Lopez. Go Twins!!
  19. Whitey333
    Nothing against Kody Clemens but couldn't we have done better? This going after other teams DFA players is getting old and worn out. I think Clemens can help but really, come on. What or who did we trade to get him? Maybe his dad, Roger Clemens, can pitch once in a while. Really sucks about Keashall getting hurt. He brought some life to the team. He could be out 2 months. So sad. We'll we have a deep bench now don't we?

    I know this clown writes satire here but his articles are generally boring. This article however shows no class. It's done in very poor taste. I'm surprised TD allowed it to be published. Very tacky. Very poor taste.
  21. Whitey333
    Roÿce Lewis coming back soon? I don't really care anymore of Lewis. If he could stay on the field and produce some major league stats.
  22. Whitey333
    Glad the Twins took 2 of 3. But it isn't making me feel any better about them. That was some of the worst baseball I've seen in years. Boring sloppy ball. Buxton catch was great and a couple other positives. But they look very bad. 9-16. And they play the part.
  23. Whitey333
    Just a couple of notes: Twins won 6-3 The White Sox are an awful team The home plate umpire was awful. We shouldn't be surprised. It was Laz Diaz who's been awful for years. We hope the game doesn't get rained out Thursday. We are playing the White Soz. It'd guaranteed win day. We need to.get MLB to let Twins play the White Sox at least 10 games each month. The Twins are a bad baseball team. Thank you White Sox for helping us cover up the Twins weaknesses.
  24. Whitey333
    Bottom line is Twi n s won 4-2. An ugly win perhaps but they won due to a great catch by Buxton and larnachs homerun and base running. The Twins slept through the first 8 innings and were aided by 2 big errors by the White Sox. Plus Larnach was hit by a thrown ball while clearly running inside the box. He could have easily been called out and the run wouldn't have scored. When blaming umpires throughout the season let's not forget that play that two umpires missed. Plus in the first inning the Sox missed a home run by inches as ball hit very top of fence. Twins only had 3 hits through seven and were outfit by 10- 5 for the game. Thanks to very poor defense by Sox and their inability to score it helped us until we woke up. But they won. Nice.

    Very nice article. Well done. I agree. I've been a long time and loyal Twins fan for over 60 years. I've seen plenty of games at the old Met in Bloomington and a ton at the Dome. I've seen plenty at beautiful Target Field as well. I remember very fondly as a kid going to games. I always cherished those memories. The past few years have been difficult for me asba Twins fan. Yes 2023 was fun. But we haven't made the playoffs 3 of the past 4 years even though Falvey and the Twins tell us they are in a winning window. They play boring and undisciplined baseball. They are void of the basic fundamentals. They are 19-42 in their last 61 games dating back to last years collapse. No one in the organization seems to take responsibility for this terrible brand of baseball and the continued losing. The Twins, from ownership on down don't seem to care.
