    Milton Bradley playing for the cubs ... The twins were play in Wrigley when that happened ... I remember it well ..
  2. Blyleven2011
    Great game ... 5 game winning streak so far , let's make it an exciting week and sweep the cubbies and Cleveland and be in first place for the week in review ... First place here we come , i love long winning streaks ... Love it when a plan comes together and the rookie gets the win , great job ( i wish i had it ) ...

    🫰 , it all comes down to him being healthy like I mentioned ...
  4. Blyleven2011
    4 game winning streak , sure would be great to see a 10 game plus winning streak ... Let's swim and not sink ... killer instincts are always welcomed , Go twins ...

    Varland is a good Minnesota story ... Varland must be stubborn though , he seems to like the bus rides in the minors and continues to want to be a starter , he was minor leagues pitcher of the year 2 years in a row , but not since his arrival to AAA . Varland has shown flashes of success but no consistency as a starter , his best consistency ( small sample size ) was in the pen in late 2023 ... Varland has been a hard worker as he improved every year except for this year as a starter in AAA , though he has had a handful of starts in AAA the past 6 weeks that has been good ... can he be a consistent starter or a more reliable bullpen arm , the team and Varland need to figure this out ( where his value is ) ... I haven't given up on varland as a starter , but I saw promise in the bullpen in 2023 ... I'm sure we will see varland as the 27th man as a starter ( his last spot start was good as a twin ) , and then varland to the pen the rest of the season , we can't wait for topa , he may take another 3 weeks to build up and then no guarantee on his consistency ...

    Buxton is really helping with the team effort by staying healthy and playing baseball in centerfield and once again hitting the ball like he once did , better consistency ... Amazing what good health can accomplish ... He looks like he is having fun once again ...

    A win is a win ... Double digit win too ... It wasn't the prettiest win but it sure was a nice win and a series sweep ... Momentum booster , incredible what royce keeps doing , I wonder if he drives a Rolls Royce or has a driver drive him around ( hes earning that prestige ) , if he could please stay healthy what a career he is going to have , he produces in the lineup and in the dugout ... He has yet to play a full season of games combined ( 103 in career ) but his projection from those total stats could be simply amazing if he stayed healthy for a full year , STAY HEALTHY ROYCE , PLEASE ...

    Any word on canterino ????
  9. Blyleven2011
    Team effort ... Nice to see Ober got the win with Kepler hitting his homer ... Bottom half of lineup got 7 of the eight hits and 5 rbi's ... I'm sure everyone enjoys beating up on the white Sox , 19 losses in a row , they're on pace for over 120 losses and another record will change , how can they be this bad , they don't look like they are giving up ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    Nice double digit win ... I'll take it ... Twins win , the Minnesota twins win ...

    If the FO ( if they aren't fired first ) was forced to fire Rocco by the owners to shake things up it would be AAA manager gardenhire
  12. Blyleven2011
    Hope he is a major league manager ... That's a good call though ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    I just had a thought when the camera went to Vazquez on the foul ball ... If the uniforms and helmet were black he would have looked like a bumblebee ...

    Yes santana has turned out to be a good clutch hitter and mvp worthy defense , not bad for an aging veteran that is playing like a youngster , I'd start thinking of an extension for santana , he's definitely strengthened first base ... 1 year with a 2nd year option ... Let's get the pen back to where it was at the end of last season , minus Stewart who is injured and may not pitch again this year , seems like he takes forever to heal after being out on the IL list ... SWR has pitched better than anyone' imagined , but can he maintain the endurance , he did finish strong last season in AAA , so that is encouraging , as far as the 5th starter goes it's going to be a team effort , I really want paddack if healthy and varland in the pen like last year ...

    I'm still not quite sure what kind of player is goibg to be about wallner , yes when he connects it is impressive the power he has , but the strikeouts give me concern , he has been better of late ... The regression of Julien and wallner this spring , but others were off to a slow start too ... Since we didn't make any addional players , I would like to advocate keirsey Jr and severino be given a look at solidify our lineup with consistency ... Nice to see dobnak make it back , let's hope his story continues , Festa has 4 starts , no opinion on him ... Kansas city addressed pitching needs last off season and the deadline and the off season additions helped them get to the deadline and then make additional pitching additions , there is not to many names on their pitching staff that was there last year ... As I stated, the Royals and fans have to feel pretty good about at least a wild card or maybe the divisional winner chance , their odds went up ... Pitching is what wins games and the royals certainlyhave improved their's , not saying we don't have good pitching , I like our top 3 starters , a good lefthander would have been a nice addition
  16. Blyleven2011
    It would be a nice story for keirsey Jr to be added to the roster , dobnak was just added to the 26 man roster , we hold on to players to long in the minors only to lose them to other teams ... he didn't do well in the minors early in his professional career due to injuries , but since he has been healthy he has hit and played average or above defense ... I guess keirsey Jr if not given a chance in a twins uniform will be playing for another team next year as they won't protect him in the rule 5 draft
  17. Blyleven2011
    We need a major league owner !!! Even the royal fans are more excited since the off-season and deadline moves , and it took a new ownership that is looking out for the interest of the fans ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    I've been venting 24 / 7 , 365 days a year , makes me feel good but I get nothing in return ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    It is plausible that the twins can win the division with our easy schedule , that's what we should be doing against bad teams ... It's the elite teams we have to worry about in the playoffs , we haven't played the elite teams well this season ... With little help at the trade deadline we could've been stronger contenders, now I'm afraid the twins are going to embarrass us by starting another losing streak in the playoffs ... If we make the playoffs and get swept , pohlads face cutting payroll again next year because they already know attendance and profits will be less ... It discouraging that the owners did nothing to encourage the fans optimizium , the fans see the window is open but the owners keep slaming the windows shut , not good business when the opportunity for glory doesn't present its self maybe but once a decade ... Ted I got reprimanded a couple of years ago for calling the pohlads PP's ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    Sit back and relax , televised games are coming to those that are not streaming , Ober's fine and stretched out to go the distance ... He definitely is pitching better than Ryan , Ryan is still fun to watch too , and with Lopez , our 3 top starters match up good ....
  21. Blyleven2011
    The FO keeps hoping and fans keep losing hope ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    I too had forgotten all about Hendrick , He might be good for us in September but he'll have to work hard in August to get back to the show ... Don't forget , richards is our new lefthander acquiredat deadline ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    I've been a life long fan of the twins ... I can't even be a fan of the FO and the pohlads for a day ... Does richards really move the needle , guess we will see ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    Can never have to much pitching as they say ... It was a good story ( dobnak ) when the twins found him in the independent league and I think he made the twins that same year ... He wasn't all that bad then and now he seems healthy with some new pitches ... He worked hard , never heard anything bad about his attitude , pitching for the AAA saints ... He deserves the next opportunity and you can never have to much pitching , so I hope his story this time is just as good ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    Festa going 5 innings and only allowing 2 runs , I would say that was a quality start for a rookie ... Our heart of the lineup struck out 10 times , hope the get away day game tomorrow they have better eye site in the sun ...
