    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 ...
  3. Blyleven2011
    Are veterans are always on the injured list to show them how to condition ...

    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

    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 ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    Alittle magic came our way tonight, a double digit win ( seems like for ever since the last one ) ... The bats had bloops and blasts , wallners homer had to be farther than the estimate , it was a blast ... Also worth mentioning ... Keirsey Jr played good defense and got his first career hit , Congratulations ... Juliens error caused by umpire blocking his view , kind of almost wrecked Pablo's night , 4 unearned runs almost wreaked the fans night too as angels closed the gap to within 2 runs , glad the twins were able to answer right back and score more runs ...

    Play the kid , no good to us on the bench , he hits lefties as good as righties I've heard ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    What if there wasn't a wildcard position , we'd be just playing out the season ... Aspirations in the spring Are to win the division and not settle for a wildcard and get lucky , second best is not my goal and it shouldn't be for the team either ... Remember there never used to be a wildcard and teams had to fight alot harder to get to the playoffs and win a division , the focus was much stronger when there wasn't a wildcard , the game isn't played today with the same luster of yesteryears ...

    If I can't say anything nice about FO or Rocco , I won't say anything ... I am just not a supporter of the FO and managers way of running a baseball team ... I could say more but it wouldn't be nice ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    Has blewett , blown it yet , the answer is NO ... that's a positive ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    small sample size on Miller but yes he wasn't a good manager , Rocco is my choice because I've had to put up with his ridiculous strategy of baseball with barely any fundamentals ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    I'd just rather pass on the week in-review , it's just too frustrating to re- ive it ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    One always has to wonder ... As the team makes changes on a regular basis with the players , one would think that the coaching staff would be in for some changes too ... The coaches have been here for quite a spell , without naming names you and I see some coaches that definitely need to be let go and replaced ... Loyalty has been the pohlads way , and that's comforting for job security , but it's time to make coaching changes , we the fans hollered after the 2022 season for changes and none happened except the trainer ... Changes can be good with new fresh voices , happens all the time in other organization ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    The kid has worked hard , he faced years of adversity with injuries , he has been healthy for over 2 years and his production has improved each healthy year ... Thanks for the article and I wish keirsey Jr, well ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    The season is coming to an end ... Went by to fast but many things were accomplished , players showed off there skills and got promoted , some deserving and some maybe not deserving due to replacing injuries .... They are all prospects and professionals regardless of their age , they all came to play ... The fans were rewarded with alot of good baseball , the future looks bright with some good drafting from the past few years ....
  22. Blyleven2011
    Right now Lewis needs some adjustments , shorten up the swing to catch up to the fastball ... Hopefully soon that baseball will look like a beach ball and he'll be is own self ..... Maybe Rocco put a jinx on him when he said come to play ( second base ...)
  23. Blyleven2011
    Thìs homestand will tell the story , last homestead was probably the worst since 2022 ... If I was FO and the team loses this homestand , I wouldn't wait For the end of the season , I'd fire him and get Toby to finish out the season and playoffs ... This team is made up of young professional ball players , Rocco and his coaches has to find a way to reach the talent and make them better , learning never stops ... If thè coaches and Rocco aren't teaching these players anything , they are definitely ruining alotof talented ball players ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    Total system failure , in other words an embarrassing playoff appearance ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    The pohlads have already won the lottery multiple times , their inheritance for 1 ... They haven't spent a cent of it ...
