  1. I wish Rocco would come ready to work ... I will never cut him any slack ... Seriously though ... Lewis to second , it's okay but I have 1 question ,,, Why do they wait until a player gets to the show and then move them around to different positions , when they didn't do it in the developmental stages of his professional career ... I'm sure Lewis will be fine anywhere he plays ...
  2. Martin's head on the base paths are savvy , he broke up the double play by stopping and making the fielder tag him , that allowed the batter to reach first base ... Martin's game isn't power but making contact and putting the ball in play and if he can develop a little more exit velocity , that could improve his hitting and on base percentage ... With patience we should see improvements in his game , defensively and offensively ...
  3. Other teams play small ball and manufacture runs against us , but our manager is reluctant to give the team an easy out , they would rather see a strike out or a double play ... I'm at my wits end since last Sunday ... I feel better now ...
  4. I've been ticked since last Sunday when acala melted down ... We are supposed to have a major league manager and a previous manager as bench coach , what's wrong with this picture ... Heads should roll this offseason , no ifs ands or buts , this is getting old , don't play fundamentals , no consistency in the hitting or lineups ( i know we have injuries ) , no small ball when the opposing teams continue to play small ball against us ... We need a new voice , I heard Rocco ( broadcasting team mentioned it ) that Pablo had a fantastic start yesterday , that's complete nonsense , Pablo struggled early and battled and got through the game unscathed with no runs allowed ( it was a good game , yes ) , I never listen anymore to pre or post games of Rocco because it's all BS ... I will never cut Rocco any slack and it all started in the 2019 playoffs when he really had to manage , during the 2019 season the players had career years and he just sat back and reaped an award ...
  5. No reason to cut him any slack , no reason at all , cost us 3 games since last Sunday and he has an ex manager next to him , they both gotta go , injuries have been a problem but so has our manager ... I will never cut him any slack ...
  6. We have 2 managers in the dugout , none are major league caliber ...
  7. Santana does come through in the ninth alot ... Way to start this one with a bloop , now a blast .
  8. When nootbaar came up , I said danger , danger and of course he hits a 2 run rbi single , since last Sunday , Rocco has blown 2 games and possibly 3 if we lose this one ...
  9. That's a double ufda , Eddie
  10. I'll never cut Rocco any slack !!!
  11. Lewis brings his bat to work .in his rolls royce .. Way to clutch hit royce ...
  12. No consistency on a daily basis ...
  13. That sucked ... Twins still need to put the heat on ...
  14. Twins need to capitalize here and put the heat on ...
  15. Alot of past post on keirsey Jr have said he's to old to be considered a prospect , if he's still in the minors , that makes him a prospect , maybe not a top prospect , there have always been players that have climb the ladder in the minors and made the show on their late 30' or early 30's .... If you look at his professional career you will notice alot of injuries disrupted his early development , but since he has been healthy for over 2 years , his development has been steady and it's worthy of a look see in the majors ... He may not get a look see as a twin but he'll get his shot with a rebuilding or non-contender next year barring injury ... WHY DO WE HOLD ON TO SOME GOOD PLAYERS IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO PLAY THEM IN THE MAJORS ... We let them walk for nothing when we could trade them when their value in high ... The kid ( keirsey Jr) has promise just like arraez did when he wasn't considered a high prospect and look how that turned out ...
  16. It was a fun match up of sonny and Pablo , and the twins won it ... Pablo struggled early but got through it all unscathed .... Larnach hit 2 dingers , the first one was a blast , probably farther then the tape measured , wallner they said on broadcast it went to St Paul ... Vazquez throw to Lewis nailed the runner at third was a highlight , Vazquez is certainly a better defensive catcher and his hitting has been acceptable , catchers are the most important position as they control the game , Vazquez is a savvy catcher , a week ago or so I remember him motioning to the pitcher to throw to first and the pitcher picked him off ... Get off Vazquez back , he's doing alot better than last year ... A good game , larnach broke it open with his 3 run blast , he's healthy and contributing ...
  17. I just watch live games I do not record , check out the app and if it's for you great
  18. If we don't start a 10 game winning streak soon , we won't be in contention at the end for the central division , we currently have fallen to the last wildcard spot , ahead of Boston by 3 1/2 games ...
  19. Saving money on gray and maeda to spend elsewhere ... The twins did not dodge the bullet in signing Margot and his inability to pinch hitting , re- signing farmer hasnt helped eitheŕ , twins have pinch hit the most of any teams and the results have been poor ... The twins took on two contracts in trades for 2024 ( margot and descalfini ) only because the previous team paid down on the contracts ... We dodged the bullet on payroll and that is all we did , descalfini never pitched beyond spring training ... We'll see how gray pans out today against the twins ...
  20. Festa gave it all he had tonight after 3 2/3rd innings 3 hits , 3 runs , 5 strikeouts and 2 walks , then the shakey bullpen arms come in and nothing got better , way to many walks given up and a total of 3 more runs between 4 bullpen arms ... Twins batters left there hits in San Diego , they definitely had trouble trying to hit , seemed like almost everyone was hitting on top of the ball and fouling the ball off ... They only had 6 strikeouts but when they hit it , they hit it right at someone , not to solidly i might add until Keplers hard line drive fly out to end the game ... Are some of the batters tired , or did they still have jet lag ... Julien seems to be swinging more often , 4 hit night in San Diego on Wednesday , tonight 0 for 2 with a walk and only 1 strikeout , his swing looks good , sure hope he is heating up ...
  21. Have keirsey prove he belongs in the show only to increase his value for a trade , the kid deserves an opportunity somewhere , if not here in twins Territory ... If we had a manager like gardenhire or Kelly , they would certainly be asking for a look at keirsey in the show ...
  22. If there is one person that has been standing out in the minors the past few season , it has been keirsey Jr ... The reason he has stood out is because he has been healthy , he started his professional career slow because of multiple injuries ... I don't care how old he might be , I think he could be an asset to the twins , if they don't protect him in the rule 5 draft or if he elects free agency , the FO are completely inept .... He passed through the rule 5 draft last year , no way he passes through this year ....
  23. Really liked Keplers defense , no question about that .... the offense is another matter , such a streaky hitter with alot of walk off hits , that I'll remember ... Fans wanted him dfa'd last year , but he changed everyone's mind after his second half resurgence , he helped lead the twins to last years central division winner ...
