Interesting , it's pathetic , pitiful and piss poor baseball ... I hope you get your hope !!!!

We need a bigger boat ... The Twins are sinking faster than the titanic did .... 1 inning they flex there muscles and no clutch hitting on opportunities throughout the rest of the game ... They score 3 runs on softer contact balls in play , then the rest of the game they are swinging hard and trying to elevate it when they need to adjust there approach and get a .single or double down the line , they once agaiin had opportunities , but once again they failed to capitalize on it .....

Going up against teams with a winning record hasn't been a good recipe for success ... Going up against teams with a losing record hasn't been a good recipe for success for over a month ... Am I confident , I'll talk to you after game 162 ...

It's been a total system failure , ownership and FO for not adding depth in 2024 , after the disaster season of injuries in 2022 they went out in the off season and added depth for 2023 and we managed to win division and break the losing streak in the playoffs ... Cutting payroll for 2024 was not a recipe for success , it was back to the dumpster diving with a prayer that they could contend , they again went the wrong direction with acquiring injury prone players ( desclafini again and relying on stewart and paddock that are injury prone ) ... With all that and a coaching staff that can't seem to win with implementing small ball and fundamentals into the game along with the analytics is also a total system failure ... I've watched almost all the games and other teams beat us with the small ball and analytics , why Rocco why can't you play small ball ... It game starts with coaching and the players reflect it ...

Week in Review: Running Out the Clock
Blyleven2011 replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Nothing to write home about ... a 3 and 3 homestand was better than the previous homestand but it is not encouraging baseball ... I know santana is a older player , but he plays like a younger one , will the twins re-sign him or let him walk ( leads the twins in homers and rbi's ) -
I did not get a chance to watch or listen to game today ... Pleasantly surprised we rose to the occasion , lately the twins have gotten screwed without even being kissed but ... Wow , 5 rbi's for Lee ... 5 for 8 with runners in scoring position and only 5 left on base .... WOW , What took so long to figure That out .... Another short outing by Festa , but bullpen which sometimes doesn't get the credit , they get the credit today ....

They may be as flat as the rest of the team right now , but Miranda has disappointed me since the Allstar game ... Actually larnach is better than previous years , he's still learning to hit the off speed and done better this year with it ... Vazquez is defensively fine and any hitting you get from a catcher is a plus , he actually too is better this season , still hitting the ball hard but nothing to show for it ... Have a good night , tonight's game was tough to watch , but we managed to get through it , didn't we ???

My choice is farmer
-
They actually have to learn how to hit first ...
-
I suppose acala will get to mop up the ninth inning ...
-
I watched the whole game the twins lost 15 to nothing I think a week or so ago , i don't know why ... Ivguessxill do the same tonight and I don't know why !!!!
-
Look how fast the reds return to dugout after the third out , they just can't wait to hit off our pitchers ...
-
I'd rather be on twins daily and reading our optimizium of the game , rather than the crap game that they are trying to dish out as professionalism ...
-
Everything is on the manager , starting with the lineup and then a rah rah pep talk to attack but be patient ... Does Rocco know how to energize the team , just adding buxton and Correa isn't enough to have a winning atmosphere ...
-
Well you can tell steer is a former twins player , an infielder for most of his career playing left field ... He should of had it ...
-
You nailed it doc , the key word is embarrassed , most likely won't be pretty in the playoffs ...

Buxton showed no rust tonight , Correa who has been out longer with no rehab might be slow out of the gate ... Glad to have them back regardless , hope they spark the team ...
-
I really should just say no comment on the game !!!! But really what has happened to acala , why can't they get him back on track , no Homer's first half and a crazy amount of Homer's the second half .... His velocity is still upper 90's , has he just lost command and can't locate , is he fatigued , is he tipping his pitches , he's just walking to many and to many hits . Can't our coaching staff fix him ... Our bullpen that looked good on paper in the spring just keeps coming of the tracks , the train is just about wrecked ... With the score close , I wasn't to ecstatic acala was coming in to pitch ...

Wallner has been good and hopefully will continue on getting better during the seasons , what concerns me is the playoffs when your facing better pitching ,, he hasn't proven anything there yet , 11 plate appearances , no hits , 3 walks and 5 strikeouts in 8 at bats

The Jhoan Durán Panic Is Hugely Overblown
Blyleven2011 replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
My eye test says he was lights out his rookie year , following year he was very good but slipped some , This year he definitely isn't showing his dominant self , could it be the injury to start the season , he has three pitches , they're all hitable if the battter knows what's coming , he does get beat more often on his secondary pitches than his fastball .. -
Really early in the morning to comprehend this article , shocked that a teammate would do something like this to deny his other teammates a chance at glory ... What a let down ... Does he get to keep his signing bonus ??? , put the screws to him and take it away ...

9-11 2001 , 23 years ago on this day there was no baseball games played , where has the time gone ... The Jax's should have requested Rocco ride in one of the planes and shake him up some into a better manager ...

Nice win , 2 in arow ( seems like along time that has happened )... It would be nice to have a good lead off hitter that gets on base so wallner doesn't hit so many solo homeruns ... Vazquez has been a better player this year and I'm sure everyone is agreeable that he is worth his 10 million salary this year .... Farmer is earning his paycheck lately , rather see farmer as a pinch hitter than Margot as he was activated before the game and sat on the bench where he belongs ... Sands earns the win pitching 2/3rds of an inning , I thought he should of pitched another inning , I guess with the off day today he gets alittle rest before he's called into a game with the reds ... Mr grand slam gave it his all , his all wasn't quite enough , but a double was nice , and 2 hits for the night too ... Duran got the job done , but made it alittle stressful once again ... Twins win the series ...

Watkins has been getting runners thrown our at home for years , my observation of his sending runners is , he sends the slow a foot and holds the fast runner far to often ... Slow a foot runner is out by fifteen feet usually ... Close but no cigar , Watkins has had job security but the time has come to change up some of the coaches especially since our window of opportunity is open as contenders ...
