Finally Rocco made a move I would agree with 100 percent of the time , pinch hitting Santana for Miranda was my choice and it went just according to plan , veteran hitter ( cool , calm and composed ) , Miranda ( young , maybe to eager in those situations but still capable )... Good walk off by Santana ... By the way , what's our record when we play in the rain ???

Cavaco , surprise or not surprised .... Cavaco was definitely a reach , They played him at multiple positions in his his professional career and he just didn't succeed with the twins , he'll catch on with another mlb or independent ball and try and get his career back on track ... A ŵake up call might get his head straightened out , bonus money could have gone to his head and being a 1st round pick too and he figured he was on the gravy train to the show .... Didn't like his interview he gave after the first round selection ....

The guys the Twins drafted but didn't sign - a deep dive
Blyleven2011 commented on Eric Blonigen's blog entry in Eric’s deep dive corner
You win some , you lose some ... Belcher, varitek were first round choices , those probably hurt the worse ... Would have loved to have the mad Hungarian in a twins uniform in his hay day ....- 9 comments

I too prefer the traditional old pinstripes , I'm not a fan of the city connect uni's but I do like this later one better than the cream colored twin cities one , it references blue for water and yellow for sun and also is a represents the whole state of Minnesota , Minnesota twins with MN on the left , twin cities uni's do not represent the state of Minnesota ...

Always nice to read these reports , especially when our twins are scuffling .... Helman seems like a player that could help the twins lineup , he seems to be consistent on hits in AAA , plus he plays multiple positions in the field ... Time for the FO to give some playing time to Herman , Keirsey and others ... We have nothing to lose with the way our current 26 man roster is playing ... They aren't on the 40 man roster but who cares , there are some players on the 40 man roster that shouldn't be , FO needs to get with the program and play our best deserving players ...

Best support for the team , I'm in and can't be any worse ... It really is time for a change in this philosophy of baseball , can't keep trying to pull everything , if you noticed the Yankees killed us by taking outside pitches the other way , our hitters ( with the exception of a few, most don't do that , there not taught to do it , so it seems ) ....

Positives out there .... There was Ryan pitchings well , 4 players that had 2 hits apiece , but they were To far apart to string together a rally , we did out hit pirates ... The loveable losers , the cubbies endured year after year of Losing , I guess I can watch the twins lose to , but it's difficult to watch how poorly this team is Coached ... what are fundamentals ? , I haven't forgotten but the team's plan at playing professional baseball has ...

Yankees 8, Twins 5: Walks Will Haunt, Twins Swept
Blyleven2011 replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
We did , thanks , my mistake ... My point being we just aren't good enough against the better teams to win , the team keeps waiting for good things to happen instead of going out and making good things happen ... Thanks for the Victory I missed against the dodgers ...- 48 replies

Yankees 8, Twins 5: Walks Will Haunt, Twins Swept
Blyleven2011 replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I cannot take this manager or FO seriously , the players should be better than they are , but with the plan of the FO and manager we are doomed ... We haven't won a game yet against Cleveland , Baltimore , dodgers or the Yankees ... The Yankees hit the ball where it was pitched against Ober and Paddack , I didn't watch yesterday's game ... We need twins hitters to hit the ball where it's pitched ( the yankees killed us going opposite field the first 2 games ) , outside pitches need to go opposite field , they pull it into the ground all to often , these players would be better hitters if they had that approach ...- 48 replies

Edouard Julien is On the Clock
Blyleven2011 replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
It hurts to say it but Julian's struggles need to get straightened out or someone else is always fighting for a spot ... Looks like he needs a different scenery in St Paul to light a fire in him ,,, did the homeruns in April ruin his hitting ??? ... I'm sure he is working hard to get straightened out but he isn'thelping the team right now ... We need his 2023 bat ...- 82 replies

It's been a tough stretch for Pablo , we expect he will pitch better , let's wait and see ... The twins still have no real identity , they win 12 , lose 7 , win 4 ... We now play royals , let's play good ball , today's loss was not good , consistently is all we ask for ... I would take a 81 -81 season every year if they would play exciting consistent baseball ...

Its DaShawn Keirsey Jr. Time
Blyleven2011 replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Lots of different views on DeShawn keirsey ... Keirsey was drafted in 2018 and had some hype and decent number's in a very small sample to start his professional career ,,, injuries robbed him of development , 2022 he finally overcame his injuries and has developed into a very capable player the past 2 plus years staying healthy ... I don't care if he's 27 and not a prospect , I care that he çould help the team , I've watched him since he has been healthy and producing and he has the ability to hit and play defense at the major league level ... Put Him in coach he's ready to play sometime this season ... He is undervalued but could be a good player ....- 80 replies

Good pitched game from Ryan , just what I asked him to do yesterday ... Finally got to a left hander for eight runs , buxton hitting two homeruns was nice , Jeffers hitting is sliding backwards right now ... Miranda is playing pretty good defense and hitting is okay and Castro is Castro after a slow start ... We need a team effort from everyone and that includes our manager and coaches or someone should be held accountable , not just the players ...
