    The joke started 8 years ago ...

    When it comes to falvey , " cant you hear me knocking " , stones 1971 I think ....
  3. Blyleven2011
    I'd go with 1973 tune " heartbreaker "

    Yes it is sad , but I've been chuckling at most of the responses more than any post this year ... They only have 1 more 40 man roster spot to add , after that if they acquire someone , someone will be dfa'd off the 40 man , start making your list ...

    Just exactly what I was expecting , a lump of coal that was dug out from the ground 29 years ago ... It's another head scratcher when we don't have a surplus of lefthanders for the bullpen ...

    You forgot mickey mouse ... Haha

    We need catching in our system , but a 29 year old , hope it works out ... We need a left hander on the 26 man roster and we trade a lefthanded Moran ... We just might try and sign theilbar on a minor league contract , because we only have funderburk and headrick on 40 man roster ... Not what we wanted and yes falvey isn't paying attention to our wish list , never will , he continuesto do the opposite of what the fans want , payroll restraints or not .....

    I know your speaking about players , but a major league manager needs to improve too ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    We need defense , hitting , pitching and good health ... Not to worried about the pitching as much as the hitting , I sure hope the new hitting coach can do something about the players approach with 2 strikes , get the players to hit the pitch the other way , spraying the ball around to all fields will go along way to a successful season ...

    Kepler has left the twins organization for a 1 year contract with the Phillies ... I see teams only giving him 1 year contracts as he bounces around from team to team year after year for the next 5 season ... They may like his defense but his streaky hitting they probably won't tolerate him for any big payday ... I wish him well , his defense was pretty darn good but has slipped the past couple of years , maybe injuries contributed to that ...

    Prielipp has a chance definitely as a relief pitcher in 2025 , but what about canterino , the report is he is healthy for spring training ... Two great prospects that haven't stayed healthy , it only makes sense that they are used in the bullpen to at least start their careers in MLB ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    At the beginning of the offseason we the fans were told that the FO was going to be creative ... After the winter meetings the fans were told we will have to wait and see ... Sitting on their a$$es neither one is getting done , if the team wants to drop contracts , I personally think it should be done ASAP in the off season , so there is the rest of the offseason time to fill the holes ... Maybe we will get a Christmas present in our stocking but it's doubtful , I'm expecting the same as past years , a lump of COAL ...

    Someone needs to earn the position , they can all be optioned if they don't come ready to play in spring training , I know you don't like keirsey Jr but if he out performs the others , he makes the team ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    Julien has to earn his way back from AAA , Lee has to have a decent spring training to make the opening day lineup , his swing was slow , he definitely was not 100% coming back from injuries , so if he's totally healthy , it's possible he makes the club out of spring training ... Lewis , sure hope the injuries subside and we can see what a full season of play would look like ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    Shoulda , woulda , coulda ... Team for sale ( thank god ), Team pinching pennies , extentions are not happening at this time due to the pohlads exploring a sale of the twins .... When Ohtani signed his mega contract , I posted the pohlads woùld not be able to afford the price of doing business and a sale was in the future ... At this time , no extensions even though it is cost effective ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    I'd say they are gun shy since the trades at 2022 deadline didn't work out ... Dobnak is not as talented as Jenkins , that dobnak out of the box contract was a head scratcher to lock up ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    Think Dobnak and we know how that turned out ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    All I can say is, yes we need new owners that want to win more than just the regular season division ... That is how the pohlads operated , construct a team to be competitive and put fans in the stands for the season , they never constructed a team to be playoff contenders , never filling the necessary holes to put them over the top ... I can't speculate on what the new owners will do , but I wouldn't want to go through owners like Calvin or pohlad and sons again ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    We have lots of water and lots of fishing ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    That's alot of creativity doc , and alot of holes to fill ... You missed one hole , Rocco is not a major league caliber manager ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    If the pohlads tell falvey to jump , falvey says how high ... If the pohlads tells falvey to cut payroll , falvey says how low ... All I can say is watch your back , jack , something has to give to make this team better in 2025 , , the FO has relied on hope to long ... Usually every team tweeks it's roster every off season and doesn't keep shuttling out the same roster year after year ... Let's get the obvious holes filled ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    As much as I liked santana's defense and some clutch hitting , we just can't bring back the same players from 2024 and expect good results in 2025 ... Where is our depth of over hyped prospects that play a great game in the minors but they just can't seem to find a position in the majors and get comfortable .... Falvey's creative or wait and see approach just isn't working , especially for the twins fans ... We need the roster to hit and play better defense with better health ... Spring training is for reminding these players how to play the game the right way , plain and simple ....
  23. Blyleven2011
    The twins have had those same 3 questions for the past several years ... Righthanded bats , bullpen help now more than ever , a solid left hander ( they couldn't find one in the rule 5 draft ) , first basemen is needed and they continue to have nothing for the future for a catcher ... The holes are never plugged and the ship is sinking ... If the twins are going win , the players in the lineup are all going to half to have career years like 2019 , if they trot out the same lineup that they had at the end of 2024 were in a heap of trouble ... I don't have a problem with our rotation of starters , it's the inconsistency of the hitters ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    I'll remember you said that ... I hope your right , but me personally thinks he won't start the season on 26 man roster , he has to earn it back in St Paul , he had a real bad second year ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    I just can't cut the the owners , FO , manager and coaches any slack ... I love my twins but they could have better players if they prepared them better , spring training is 2 months away , watch them play the rookies and dumpster divers and the veterans will be on the back fields most of the spring , they may play home games but they rarely travel on the bus across state ... The veterans get off to slow starts because they don't get enough live pitching to get their timing right ... I won't see it happen this year because I'm not spending any of my money on twins fest , spring training or target field tickets until we get an owner that wants to win ... But I will take gifts ...
