    Nice game. Way to come back Lopez after a slow start. Joyce play a full season? I doubt we will ever see that. Another Buxton but a better player if like Buxton he plays

    It was a frustrating end to the start of a good series with the doubleheader sweep on Friday. Twins whine about injuries. Cleveland has had a ton mainly to their pitching but they have beaten the Twins 7 of 9 showing they are better than the Twins. Roccos screwy lineups don't help either. Sitting any of your star hitters for such an important series is poor. Lewis not playing Saturday was poor. Since Buxton hit two home runs Sunday I wouldn't be surprised if Rocco gives him the day off.

    Does it really matter? Not much. A prospect is a suspect until he proves himself. Most prospects don't make it to MLB. But it is good to have a solid foundation. I hope they do well.

    SWR pitched great. Keep it up!! Hopefully the Twins bats will come alive Sunday. Blaming in part the long winded pregame ceremony for any home team deficiencies is just another in a very long line of excuses to explain away the teams problems at times. No way. It was a well pitched game and the Twins only managed 4 hits. Kris Atterberry on radio is terrible. He never shuts up and digressing to unrelated game topics way too much. He's very hard to follow as he attempts to do play by play. God I miss Provus on radio. But I love Molitor and Perkins and Gadden as well. They do an excellent job.

    Well researched article. But you lost me when trying to make comparisons with Cease and Glasnow. Really? After a couple of good starts? Now we all hope Festa does great again today. By making comparisons with proven major league starting pitchers after such few samples is ludicrous. But I don't go along with the Twins philosophy of oh if we lose it's just another game. There's only 45 games left and history shows it takes time to gain ground and move up in the standings. Just as trying to compare football schedules to baseball schedules is also ridiculous. They are two vastly different games and schedules. Go Twins.

    Going to be tough the rest of the season without Ryan. Let's hope nothing happens to our real best pitcher Baikey Ober. Go Twins

    Yes signing free agents to big contracts can be a crapshoot. So too can be signing oft injured players to long term deals. I like Lewis but I would not sign him to aalong term deal until he plays regularly and produces. With payroll likely to be cut again next year I just don't see the Twins doing that.

    Perfect example as to why we need a better manager. Yes Rocco cannot be blamed for Ryan's injury. But his bullpen handling of it was brutal. Leaving Richard's in so long to take a thumping was a clear indication he had no intention of playing to win the game. What kind of a message doesit send to your team to leave Richard's out there getting hammered? 5 walks in one inning!! Plus a couple of wild pitches. The game was winnable until our great manager didn't care. Don't say the bullpen needed a rest. The team is off Thursday. Plus the starting lineup was little league. Rocco has many throw away games each year where he doesn't seem to care if they win or lose. A blown opportunity to try to win with Cleveland perhaps losing two games today. Not very impressive at all.

    Todays Wednesday game against the Cubs shows so far why Baldelli is one of the poorest managers in MLB and one of the worst managers the Twins have ever had. His starting lineup is a joke. Sure don't need to rest star players with a day off Thursday. No it's not his fault that Ryan got hurt. But his mishandling of the bullpen especially leaving Richard's in so long is inexcusable! The only redeeming thing is the game is still early as of this post. 4th inning. How can u leave a pitcher in to give up 5 walks and 40 some pitches. Disgraceful!!
  10. Whitey333
    Yawn, yawn, and double yawn. Just win baby!!

    The Twins will need to click in all areas if they are to make the playoffs. They can do it but the bullpen needs to get better. Their 4.60 ERA since the begin ING of July won't cut it. The starters must go longer into games to shore up the bullpen. Go Twins.
  12. Whitey333
    Buxtons contract worth it? Not really. Yes he's had a good year but he still doesn't play enough. Considering you base his 100 million dollar contract on his 85 games played. No at this point . He needs to do this regularly for a couple of seasons.
  13. Whitey333
    Would somebody please tell Atteberry and Gladden that there is a game going on ? I believe their job is to do play by play broadcasting of the Twins game not of their social lives. It's been going on all year and getting worse!!!
  14. Whitey333
    Nice to sweep the series even if it is the lowly White Sox. But if we are being honest here we would have lost two of the three games had we played a decent team. We played rather poorly.
  15. Whitey333
    Nice win. Any win is nice even against the White Sox. Lets win Sunday for the sweep.
  16. Whitey333
    Nice story about Duffey. I hope he does well.
  17. Whitey333
    Nice win Twins. It's nice to beat up on a AA team. The White Sox are a disgrace and embarrassment to MLB. But the have a good pitcher throwing on Saturday. But we have a better one in Ober. It's stretch drive time. They need to adjust their starters schedule so that our best are facing the Guardians next weekend. Go Twins.
  18. Whitey333
    Yes the keys to the season will be games against Royals and Guards. Yes starting next weekend the Twins need to win 3 of the 4 . Best players must be in the lineup and not given days off. With Rocco you never know what kind if screwy lineups you may get. Go Twins.
  19. Whitey333
    Simple fact is Falvey had a choice to add to the team and he did not. To add a player from Toronto from the fringe pile is not acceptable. If that is all Falvey can do he should be replaced.
  20. Whitey333
    Let's see how Wallner does over the long haul. Too small of a sample size but yes he's doing well and we are pulling for him!
  21. Whitey333
    Since the Twins appear to want to follow the Tampa Bay Ray's baseball model they may as well continue it lol. The first thing this off season would be to trade Carlos Correa. I wouldn't be surprised if they approach him to ask him to approve a trade even though he has a no trade contract. They obviously misled Correa as well. I'm sure he was expecting a organization that wanted to win. Correa is good for the team but for a team that doesn't want to invest in the product, Correa is an unneeded luxury. Plus at this point you almost owe it to Correa to send him to an organization that needs him and appreciate him.

    Glad the Twins wone. That was a nice game. The previous two were awful. I guess we are to be happy winning 1 of 3 games against a good team. Twins are 23-32 against teams with winning records. Good thing is we can take that one game win streak and parlay that into a 4 game win streak with a sweep of the lowly White Sox at home this weekend.
  23. Whitey333
    Very nice and refreshing story. Well written. I hope he does well and his dreams continue to be filled.
  24. Whitey333
    Nice article. Well researched . Way to much info for a meh reliever. I hope he does well. I'm quite sure he will propel us to the playoffs and a world series title.
  25. Whitey333
    Twins chose not to do anything mainly to payroll constraints. Although Falvey denies that and says ownership didn't put restraints on. I don't buy it. Many baseball insiders yesterday that were following all the moves other teams made consistently said teams told them the Twins were handcuffed by ownership. IMO Twins blew it.
