  1. What about Paul Molitor , hitting coach and running the bases instructor , we need help there as well and we could kill 2 birds with 1 stone ... Oh , you answered your own question , he is a stay at home dad ...
  2. You see the ball , you hit the ball ... Adjust your swing to make contact for singles , doubles and triples , the homeruns will come without trying ... We are not a Homerun hitting team without a slugger capable of 40 plus honers a season ... Hit the ball and make it exciting baseball again ... They better get it right this time because I'm tired of them being wrong alot ...
  3. Fan attendance .... Attendance will continue to fall until they do a better job at promoting the team , it has been awful for many years now ... It started with twins fest being a 1 day affair and reducing the twins caravan to just the state of Minnesota , THEY HAVE LOST FANS BECAUSE OF THIS ... They don't promote the history of the team with a killebrew , Oliva, carew , puckett , Blyleven ot kaat day , if they did , grandkids could be taken to the park and given a history lesson on how these player's impacted the game and made them HOF's ... GRANDPA , WHO WAS KILLEBREW , grandpa replies to granson that Harmon killebrew was the twins most prolific homerun hitter in it's history , he hit 573 homeuns in his career and he was feared by major league pitchers , I can just see the grandsons face now , eyes wide open with excitementy on what he just absorb from grandpa , he becomes a real fan of the twins ... We need to promote and honor these players for our youth to be loyal twins fans ... THIS WILL DRAW NEW AND OLD FANS TO THE GAMES ... Best game I ever saw at met stadium as a 10 year old was a LOSS , 2 outs bottom of the ninth down by a run against Oakland , second game of a doubleheader , Harmon killebrew at bat and roð carew at second , Harmon hits a towering fly ball to left center , Joe Rudy climbs the fence and pulls back a potential homerun to win the game , great catch by rudi , but also a great effort by Harmon who gave it his all that at bat but came up short of winning the game , we split the doubleheader ...
  4. Rest in peace Pete rose , please watch over our hitters .... It's a start , assistant coach Rudy hernandez should be Gone to , all new voices needed there ... Let's just clean house , 2 pukey season in the last 3 seasons is enough reason for changes .... already posted by a member , I agree with his displeasure that the higher Pay grade wasn't going with him ... Today I was thinking to myself , WHO WAS A WORSE OWNER ???? CALVIN OR TODAYS POHLADS , not Carl or Eloise ....
  5. My thoughts to , while reading the article , Correa has seen the twins flop twice now , 2022 and this year ... He just might opt out of his no trade clause , he's a normal human being and wants to win , just like everyone else ..
  6. Yes thanks for the week in review reports , the past 6 weeks or so have been tough to re-live .... Now with the announcement of the return of FO and Rocco it is time for the fans to speak out ... Do not attend twinsfest ... Do not attend spring training games ... Do not attend target field games ... If you are a serious loyal ( old fart ) fan you can see my reasoning to not line the pockets of the pohlads ... Win or lose we just aren't getting any exciting competitive games with their plan of baseball .... Stop doing business with the pohlads , it reminds me of doing business with a used car salesman , YOU Constantly get SCREWED and never get KISSED ... IM BITCHING , IM DONE VENTING ...
  7. And the fans shouldn't give a crap about the owners , if you àre a serious loyal twins fan you should boycott the stadium and not attend twins fest in the spring ... Find a stream and watch the games on TV or listen on radio , that's my plan , they get no more money from me ... I am not pleased with the owners , FO and the manager and coaches ..... I'm also not pleased with the OP 's reference to the total system failure of the decade , that total system failure in that decade was alot more exciting than the crap we are seeing today .... This regime is wasting our talent with their style of baseball , this regime is never going to bring us a world series ,( I've stated this many times since the 2019 playoffs against the Yankees ) ... The owners don't care about the fans , they continue to tell the FO to put together a team that is capable to win enough games to keep the fans interested in filling the seats ( its not how you win the game, , it's how you play the game that excites the fans , for me anyways , win or lose , a competitive game is ŵhat I want ) Then before the last game of the year they inform the fans with a slap in the face with their announcements of rocco and FO retaining their jobs , they keep quiet about informing the fans during the season about baseball matters ... they are a total system failure on how they play the game , yes they have had some success on winning the division , but as I stated above they are not motivated to win a world series .... Don't go to spring training , don't go to twins fest , don't go to the field to watch games .... I stopped venting , I'm bitching now because I want competitive baseball played the way it should be , they are not a Homerun hitting team or at least we don't have a slugger that hits 40 or more homeruns ... Did I already mention , don't do business with the pohlads, they remind me of used car salesman ...
  8. Dreams die hard , this one hurt and disappointed , time to start a new one !!! ....
  9. And you shouldn't feel bad in Italy , but thanks for checking in ... Have a good time ...
  10. You forgot to mention blewett , he hasn't blown it in his small sample size , wait till next year though ...
  11. I switched to bitching , venting was good to do but wasn't helping or being heard .... Now I'm bitching loud and clear , hold someone accountable for this season , it better not be the trainer this year like it was after 2022 season ... It's quite obvious that it's coaching and they are wasting the talent they have , Julien is an example as is Miranda collapse in the second half ( maybe injured ), Lewis , what has happened to his swing ... how do other teams beat us , they hit to other fields in situational hitting , they steal bases , they bunt , they do everything right to beat the twins because the twins players aren't trained for it .... I could go on and on , but will end with saying it is not fun baseball to watch , I almost watch the games now to see who will make the biggest blunder to blow the game , whether it coaching or players ...
  12. ELIMMINATED .... This is our reward from the pohlads who have profited from a stadium we built for them and their business to make money this season and every season , except maybe covid .... We have been screwed and we won't get a kiss ...
  13. The pain and misery continues ... Two homestands prior to this last homestand were not good , we are off to a bad start on this one...
  14. The only positive so far is jeffers has thrown out some runners ...
  15. I'm tempted to watch better ball , I'll wait until the playoffs to watch how the game is played ...
  16. It just hasn't happened or won't happen with the coaches and manager that we have ... Sad but true ...
  17. I just wish they would teach them something , like adjustments but doubles would be my game too ...
  18. I wasn't expecting anything different , why break there regular routine...
  19. Every pitcher of late , the twins hitters make them look like Cy young ...
  20. With Margot and castro both in the lineup , why is Margot leading off when it should be castro leading off ... Am I right or am I right ....
  21. I really enjoyed a relaxing day off from twins baseball .... I really enjoyed Rocco not making senseless games moves that backfired ... I really enjoyed the twins season from May through the allstar break ... I really don't enjoy bashing the twins management , but I have that right ...
  22. I have to totally agree it's hard to see him in the dugout , it's time for a change , a big shake up ... I stopped listening to rocco's pre and post game interviews along time ago ( i have no time for his BS and anyone that thinks differently isn't listening carefully enough , he says one thing and does the opposite , is that his way of improvising ) ... Also , I'm a true believer that he did not deserve the manager of the year award in 2019 because the players had career years with a juiced ball , his managing in the playoffs proved he has no clue how to manage in 2019 ...
  23. I wished that the doubleheader would have been rained out and we'd make it up when we were playing better at the end of the season .... Not going to happen , we aren't going to get better that is , most of the players are lost and it's definitely a reflection of the coaching and leadership .... We need major league professional coaches and manager ,
