    Baseball is a business , to keep the fans filling the seats they have to keep the players fans want to see playing .... They found away to keep puckett and threw money at Mauer , they signed Correa in free agency , Donaldson to , they got creative with Buxton ... The above mentioned players were all star players , ( except maybe Donaldson , at least for the twins ) ... Lewis has star potential and is a game changer , you don't keep Lewis as a twins player , you won't keep the devoted fans coming to the stadium ... Options ;;;; Get creative and sign him to an incentive ladened contract ... Or second option , get an owner that loves baseball and wants to win the whole shooting match, by spending money to win ( its called keeping up with the Jonies)

    Nice to see Raya going deeper into the games lately and doing fine ... Keirsey Jr needs to be protected from rule 5 draft this off season and given an opportunity to make the twins out of spring training , the kid has talent regardless of his age , injuries held his development back but since he has remained healthy he has been producing ...

    A double header sweep , couldn't ask for more today ... But I'm asking for a 4 game sweep come Sunday .... Beautiful day for baseball ...

    Ober keeps pitching towards pitcher of the month award ... Jax and Duran did there MOJO in today's game ... Nice win over Cleveland , let's swim and Cleveland sinks the rest of the way ... Injuries , they suck .... Ryan most likely out for the season , Stewart I never thought he would make it back , when he goes on IL list it's always months before he returns , fix this guys arm and have him ready for spring ... I hope Scott blewett doesn't blow it tonight ... Go Louie , do that voodoo you do so well .. Who's the 27th man , varland I'm sure took Ryan's spot ....

    Ditto to all the posted opinions , it a tough decision ...
  6. Blyleven2011
    Why do they steal bases in the minors ( hernandez with 29 steals ) , when they don't want to risk injuries and steal bases in the majors ( its a tool , use it ) ... Every club is stealing bases on the twins but it seems we do have some speedsters but don't use them enough to steal bases , it's alot easier to go from second to home than first to home ...

    Couldn't agree more about varland to the pen , with little depth in the starting pitcher department , Louie is starting 1 of the doubleheader games , so let's hope he has a great start ... But it weakens that bullpen we had for September and the playoffs last year ... Long reliefers Winder or Sands should have came in after Joe's injury today ...

    I was on the road and listening on the radio , both atterbury and gladden said winder will be coming in after Ryan departed with injury ... All of a sudden it's richards warming up and I was fricken pissed , a new guy we don't know much about and he's a 2 pitch pitcher , Rocco or whoever decision was the worst blunder of the year ... A 2 pitch pitcher with 7 innings to go , then Rocco leaves him in crossing his fingers that he could eat some innings , I understand eat innings but when a guy has no control , you can pull him after 3 batters .... I think gardenhire has put in his dues with the twins in Saint Paul and it's time to promote , we need a better major league manager ... Just when my excitement for the team soared after the 5 game winning streak . I never listen to Rocco pre or post game interviews , so I don't know what his reason was for bringing in a 2 pitch pitcher that early in the game ... Man that pisses me off , Worst blunder of the year , I'd like to hear what falvy has to say about his prize addition to the bullpen ... I feel better now ...

    Will continue to keep an eye on the prospects , thanks for the article ... Ditto to what everyone else posted ...

    I wish dobnak well , he has persevered the odds , but 1 more bad outing , ( dfa ) should put him back in AAA , nobody will claim him ... Sad but true ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    As of now the article doesn't infuse alot of confidence in topa , fastball velocity down , slider and sinker not as good as 2023 ... When he's ready bring him up but not before , his pitches can get AAA hitters out but if his command isn't good , major league hitters are going to tattoo him all day long ... Let's hope it all gets worked out and we see the 2023 version topa had with the mariners ....
  12. Blyleven2011
    Sad we lost it in the first inning , error and 3 run homer by cubbies deflated the twins hitters ... Lopez was all over the place and couldn't locate his pitches ... Lewis just keeps making baseball fun for him , the team and the fans ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    It's been said before , anyone can win on any given day ... It's a 3 team race for the central division , I'm liking our chances to win it alot more than at the beginning of the season ... It's exciting to be in the race ... Go twins ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    Milton Bradley playing for the cubs ... The twins were play in Wrigley when that happened ... I remember it well ..
  15. Blyleven2011
    Great game ... 5 game winning streak so far , let's make it an exciting week and sweep the cubbies and Cleveland and be in first place for the week in review ... First place here we come , i love long winning streaks ... Love it when a plan comes together and the rookie gets the win , great job ( i wish i had it ) ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    🫰 , it all comes down to him being healthy like I mentioned ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    4 game winning streak , sure would be great to see a 10 game plus winning streak ... Let's swim and not sink ... killer instincts are always welcomed , Go twins ...

    Varland is a good Minnesota story ... Varland must be stubborn though , he seems to like the bus rides in the minors and continues to want to be a starter , he was minor leagues pitcher of the year 2 years in a row , but not since his arrival to AAA . Varland has shown flashes of success but no consistency as a starter , his best consistency ( small sample size ) was in the pen in late 2023 ... Varland has been a hard worker as he improved every year except for this year as a starter in AAA , though he has had a handful of starts in AAA the past 6 weeks that has been good ... can he be a consistent starter or a more reliable bullpen arm , the team and Varland need to figure this out ( where his value is ) ... I haven't given up on varland as a starter , but I saw promise in the bullpen in 2023 ... I'm sure we will see varland as the 27th man as a starter ( his last spot start was good as a twin ) , and then varland to the pen the rest of the season , we can't wait for topa , he may take another 3 weeks to build up and then no guarantee on his consistency ...

    Buxton is really helping with the team effort by staying healthy and playing baseball in centerfield and once again hitting the ball like he once did , better consistency ... Amazing what good health can accomplish ... He looks like he is having fun once again ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    A win is a win ... Double digit win too ... It wasn't the prettiest win but it sure was a nice win and a series sweep ... Momentum booster , incredible what royce keeps doing , I wonder if he drives a Rolls Royce or has a driver drive him around ( hes earning that prestige ) , if he could please stay healthy what a career he is going to have , he produces in the lineup and in the dugout ... He has yet to play a full season of games combined ( 103 in career ) but his projection from those total stats could be simply amazing if he stayed healthy for a full year , STAY HEALTHY ROYCE , PLEASE ...

    Any word on canterino ????
  22. Blyleven2011
    Team effort ... Nice to see Ober got the win with Kepler hitting his homer ... Bottom half of lineup got 7 of the eight hits and 5 rbi's ... I'm sure everyone enjoys beating up on the white Sox , 19 losses in a row , they're on pace for over 120 losses and another record will change , how can they be this bad , they don't look like they are giving up ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    Nice double digit win ... I'll take it ... Twins win , the Minnesota twins win ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    If the FO ( if they aren't fired first ) was forced to fire Rocco by the owners to shake things up it would be AAA manager gardenhire
  25. Blyleven2011
    Hope he is a major league manager ... That's a good call though ...
