    It's a good win ... It's a sad day for twins fans and for Keaschall being hit , fractured forearm ... Just when things were starting to look up ... If the twins didn't have bad luck , they wouldn't have any luck at all ...

    Cause , if the twins didn't have bad luck , they wouldn't have any luck at all ...

    Good report Seth ... Looking over the top 20 prospects on batting , a thought occurred , on a given day having all the position players in top 20 that played that day had at least 1 hit on the same day between st Paul and fort Myers prospects .... Today of the mentioned prospects , 4 did not have hits ...

    If we have a surplus of player's , they have to figure ( or guess right ) out who is part of the future and trade who isn't ... Fill a position of need , trading for a catcher is one example , I'd say 1st base but we might have that covered if management would get their heads out of their arse , Lewis for sure because he athletic enough and hopefully the bat can play there ... We have a excess of talent we can't play because we have the positions filled , trade , trade and trade for areas that are our weaknesses ...

    With all the promise this kid had , it's sad to end this way with injury after injury ... Hope he sticks it out and gets a cup of coffee someday somewhere ...

    Since when has logic been part of the puzzle with this organization ...

    He does look good for 3 or 4 innings , came out for the 5th and lost everything ... In the minor as mentioned by others and reports on minor leagues I follow on TD , the pitchers don't usually go more than 5 innings , are we suppose to believe they are ace material if that is all the stamina they have , I sure hope not ... We'll see how he pans out , most likely in 3 years he'll be a bullpen pitcher ...

    Professional athletes , ha ... Webster dictionary is thinking about removing that word from the dictionary because there is no more Professionalism or adding an asterisk with no more professionalism in baseball , ha ...

    The twins are going to melt in the rain

    It is STILL not a good sign that the hitters are coming out of their funk with runners on base ... Clutch hitting is needed for this team to be even be considered a serious contender , if you can't come through in the clutch against the White Sox , do you expect it to change against other teams and their better pitchers ... I liked that the hitters were taking the pitches to the opposite field last night , this has to continue , because pulling an outside pitch usually results in an out ... Let's hope they learn to hit opposite field hits , it was working last night getting men on base , lefthanded hitters were also getting hits against lefthander pitchers , Rocco has no choice to pinch hit because bench is short handed .... Castro to IL list finally ...

    Larnach strikes a rally
  12. Blyleven2011
    Maybe Keaschall will spark a rally ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    That's what this team needs to do , hit it to opposite field when the pitch is warranted , they are doing that tonight and I hope they are learning

    The twins game started out PG , pretty good , looks like the games rating is turn to R , rotten ...

    A solo homerun would be nice to strike back with...
  16. Blyleven2011
    Did anyone see this coming , sands comes in with baserunners and allows runners to score .. Last time out he pitched with runners on base and the inherited runners score ... Starting to see a pattern by Rocco, kinda like pinch hitting margot over and over with no success ...

    2 lefthanders get hits against a left handed pitcher drive in a rbi

    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 ...

    Live from the ballpark ... Thanks for all the information ...

    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 ...

    I don't think of buxton as superman but I do think he is a breed of a thoroughbred race horse with great speed ...

    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 ...

    He had provus fooled on the easy catch that buck really did make look harder , at least to provus ...

    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 ...

    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 ...
