  1. 2 lefthanders get hits against a left handed pitcher drive in a rbi
  2. I saw the seats empty down the rightfield line , since target field has opened in 2010 , this year has posted the lowest attendance for a game at target field ... If this isn't a total system failure , I don't know what is ...
  3. Us old timers know baseball and this construction of players is not playing baseball , you got to love what you do and do it with passion and you will succeed , most of our players are not realizing this and are just collecting a pay check while they are here ... The front office has no passion in doing there job , no professionalism toward constructing a team or to the fans , they aquire a player that is no good and continue to play that player who is a detriment to the team , this front office and our great professional coaches has no professionalism ( webster dictionary might be removing the word , because professionalism means sh** these days ) ... faveys words not mine at time of rebuilding our infrastructure in the minors and cleaning house ... ( his words , we have hired the best top professionals at each position , well that might be true in the minor leagues as they teach and develop players , it certainly is not true at the major league level that they have hired top professionals to continue to teach and develop our prospects talent at the hardest level , all these prospects haven't lived up to their billing , pitching has done better but the position players haven't on offense and defense and the fundamentals ) ... WHAT COULD THE ANSWER REALLY BE ??? Is it coaching at the major league level or are we being led astray on the talent in our minor league prospects ...
  4. I don't think of buxton as superman but I do think he is a breed of a thoroughbred race horse with great speed ...
  5. I was very late to the party , I tuned into the top of the ninth inning with Duran pitching , I missed the single but seen the 2 walks to load the bases , it was another edge of your seat ninth inning trying to lock down the win , kinda of thought we were going to find another way to lose ... Duran worked into trouble but worked out of trouble , it wasn't pretty but the job got done for his second save and a much needed win ... The bats need to get going , can't be gifted a win every night and buxtons catch was good but I think it was alittle more dramatic than it needed to be , to me it looked like he got there in plenty of time and didn't need the dive ...
  6. He had provus fooled on the easy catch that buck really did make look harder , at least to provus ...
  7. A very good player lost to soon to tragic ... Remembering the player and his talent , Griffith trading him because of salary , just like he did with others , there is a difference in the current ownership , that they have paid some good players to stay but have paid way to much to other players that nobody else wanted ...
  8. How many generations of fans are they going to continue to lose when they haven't a very good product on the field and their lack of promoting the team is dismal , if the younger generations do go to the game it's not to watch the game but to have a good time in a party atmosphere , not a baseball atmosphere ... They have been terrible promoting the team even to the really loyal fans of yesteryear , giving away souvenirs doesn't draw ticket sales , but if they had more promoting of the twins old greats to honor the history the hall of famers ( killibrew , oliva , carew , puckett , Blyleven, oliva , kaat and even mauer ) , that might draw some fans to the games to honor their great playing careers ... Free hot dogs and a coke to the first 43,000 would help to ...
  9. This is what I will say , THE FRONT OFFICE IS GUN SHY ABOUT TRADING PLAYERS FOR PLAYERS ... They have made some good trades , odrizzie and sunny gray that have worked out , but there deadline acquisition in 2022 which should have been put off until the 2023 deadline because we were a more of a contending team in 2023 than 2022 was more of a pretending team at the deadline in my opinion ... Unable to evaluate talent and trading for oft injured players has not been the front offices strong points ... Their last trade of Polanco for 1 injured pitcher and 1 pitcher that had 1 good season and 2 prospects hasn't helped to date , with time the trade may favor the twins ... Okert is pitching well for Houston ....
  10. Rocco needs to go and his replacement wont be much better ... falvey will take his spot in the dugout instead of his twins suite ... He makes all the calls anyway so might as well sit in the dugout with his head up his a** ....
  11. The talent isn't sure they have talent , its called lack of confidence in all pressure situations with runners in scoring position ... Pathetic pitiful piss poor pukey playing ...
  12. It's getting late really early , can't believe the pohlads have dug the hole deeper by not having the main culprits dismissed , falvey convinced the pohlads that they weren't the problem , it was the hitting coaches , YAH RIGHT ... POHLADS DO HAVE LOYALTY TO THEIR EMPLOYEES , But when a change needs to be made , they keep digging the hole deeper ... Joe P are you listening , the team isn't worth 1.7 billion until you get a real contending team , we're tired of the pretender years ...
  13. That's exactly who they are , the twins are lifeless and unexciting ... Last time they were exciting was 2019 and it took a juiced ball for it to happen , it was a fun year watching them hit homeruns , but that's not who they are , they're not a homerun hitting team but you can't convince tge FO and manager that their plain is back arse backwards ...
  14. I to will not spend any of my money on this organization , I passed on twins fest , spring training and won't spend money to go to target field , BUT I WILL TAKE GIFTS , I hope the pohlads are reading this and realize the only way to put fans in the stands is to give us diehard twins fans good quality competitive baseball games ( win or lose ) we are the real fans that support and watch this team , im not sure they are promoting their product to the right fans .. This old but young at heart fan liked your post , win or lose , they need to play more exciting and competitive games ...
  15. Kid keashall , kid keashall , kid keashall ... Impressed so far with his eye and contact at the plate , great to see him get off to a good start and energize the fan base ... Hope he stays the season and makes necessary adjustments as he develops into a major leaguer ... Hope the other players takes notice that their jobs are in jeopardy ... Kid keashall , kid keashall , kid keashall ...
  16. I've said it before and I hate saying it again , this team is very hard to watch , they are putting me to sleep , I don't have to watch GOĹF anymore for a afternoon nap .... Pathetic pitiful piss poor pukey playing ...
  17. They have 3 of them , this was the best laugh I had all game ... Maybe the twins could hire a leader to help the players , they could call it a manager ...
  18. I guess Rocco always does the opposite of what we think ... I
  19. I'll bet you a dairy queen treat Duran pitches the eighth inning too ... Day of on Monday ...
  20. It's been quite awhile since we have had a homer with any runners on ,,, Solo homers are not game changers , they've got shake their nerves when they have runners on base ...
  21. Alittle to late , but one cam still hope or even pray for a miracle ...
  22. Ryan has been off but atlanta's pitcher hasn't been good all day too , twins are just bad at capitalizing with runners in scoring position unless its a wild pitch...
  23. If the twins don't have some good at bats , I'm not going to watch it anymore today , I'll get something constructive done and listen on radio .
