  1. Of the names mentioned , veteran Smyly would be a good target .... We need the bullpen to shape up , I sure hope Stewart can shake off the rust and get back to what he once was for us ....
  2. Twins hitters got screwed and never got kissed ...
  3. I don't know what to say about tonight's game ... What an _ss whooping ... OUCH ...
  4. Thanks for your vent ... Boy you got me wrong , I was just responding to a quote to another twins fan and that's all ... I will say you were right about me not listening to Baldelli pre or post game interviews , I never listen to him .... We need a major league manager ... Thank you thank you very much ...
  5. It was a good week , winning the series against the phillies was huge , been awhile since we beat a high caliber team like the phillies and we beat them with without our best hitters , pitching was good through the series but Duran did have a melt down ... Detroit we won the season series ...
  6. Nolan Ryan would throw 150 plus pitches to complete a game , it's definitely a different game protecting the players because of the high salaries ... Ober was a fantastic artist of his craft today ...
  7. If Ryan or Lopez goes down , randy dobnak will be starting pitcher in yankee stadium for the playoffs ... Hehehe ...
  8. Good article .... Dip a toe or make a big splash ??? The MO of the FO will always keep us guessing , the bullpen is a major concern , especially our lefthanders , if we could have what we had in 2023 with varland , paddack , Stewart , theilbar , Jax, Duran and others , that would solidify tĥe bullpen , 2 montgs to go , figure it out quicly to overtake cleveland ... NO WILD CARD FOR THIS FAN , WIN THE DIVISION .... Just strengthen the lefthanders in bullpen , puk would have been nice but to little to late ...
  9. These reports on our prospects are always encouraging and enlightening ... Seth is always thorough ...
  10. After Stewart's turn ended , Baldelli had a talk in dugout and probably encouraged him that he is still the high leverage man after he gets the kinks straightened out ...
  11. It seems like our FO and manager like to break records ... Last year we broke the record for most strikeouts , now they keep trotting Margot out to break a pinch hitting record of not getting a hit ( tonight was no difference , o'fr ) ... I like records of the positive kind , not the negative kind ...
  12. The bats started early and kept adding on ... Pablo was Pablo ... Now that's baseball at it best ... I loved the throw from Keith to first base , nobody there but the umpire ... Vazquez had an exceptional night at the plate with 3 hits and a walk , maybe tomorrow night he can get 4 hits ... Buxton is back , hitting and fielding , stay healthy Byron ... KNOCK ON WOOD ...
  13. Margot's pinch hitting may be comical ( im not buying it ) , but everytime Rocco inserts him as a pinch hitter I end up laughing , kind of reminds me when Rocco kept trotting out colome a few years ago and the results were always the same , blown save loss ...
  14. It will be exciting to find out , Cleveland and twins right now are in the complete opposite position they were in last year , Cleveland didn't add at deadline and because of that the twins held pat , Cleveland did aquire later some waivers from the angels but the twins still won the division in 2023 ... Cost conscious Cleveland will most likely see if the cost conscious twins add anything , before countering with their own moves ...
  15. It was a positive homestead from my perspective .... With all the injuries to key players they still fought a good fight ... Could have lost them all but starters held the big bats of phillies in check , got to commend them for that ....
  16. Enjoyed the game for 8 innings , a pitchers duel and good defense, Castro is not a shortstop , move Lee there and try a new experiment ... Duran worries me ....
  17. It was definitely a surprising win ... It definitely was a good win against a winning team ... If definitely would be nice if the twins had the killer instinct and took the series or all 3 games ... Yes it definitely would be nice ...
  18. I could think of better pitchers to get , might be better than kuechel was but for depth it would be a cheap acquisition and worth a try to harness his control , he was once a very good pitcher when healthy ... Hill , happ , keuchel and Paxton fit the mo of the aging pitchers ...
  19. I sure hope I see some small ball in the Phillies series , with this squad of players we need to manufacture some runs with runners in scoring position and yes , better defense too ... You can win close games with defense ... I sure hope Rocco and company took notice how Milwaukee played against us ... If we play small ball against the phillies and lose , we'll at least say we tried something ... Twins are In a world of hurt at the moment and we have a difficult time against winning teams , Detroit series might right the ship ...
  20. I'm sure the twins are not welcoming the Phillies with open arms , twins are In a world of hurt right now ... I can't believe with rest during the Allstar break how many players went on the IL list ... To me , not reporting a previous Injury by player or management to the fans is a detriment to their product ...
  21. They got to quit flipping that 2 headed coin on pinch hitting Margot ,and hoping they get tails ...
  22. The twins are In a world of hurt again right now , and we do need clutch hitting , we were terrible leaving so many runs left on the bases , bases full and no outs ( to often a choke ) ... Ŵe also need a new manager and FO , we can't win with them ... Sure hope Rocco noticed that Milwaukee players know how to bunt , will we see more small ball to manufacture runs with the present core waiting for the injured players to return ...
  23. Santana's homer was a lift but scrap the blue uniforms they are a let down ... Late inning action once again , a tying homerun by santana only to be let down by the bullpen ... Didnt castro a couple of weeks ago do the same thing , homer to tie the score only to be let down by the bullpen ... Sure hope FO and Rocco are gone after this season , they will never win with their strategy of baseball ... Expiring contracts want to know , because they truly are a total system failure ( example , they can't beat the better winning teams , they pick on the losers to win ) , is that a playoff teàm ???
  24. It would be nice if the twins would listen to the real fans of the club ... There is so many ways to draw the hard core fans and even casual fans to attend the games ... The real fans are the older generation , the younger generation goes to party , watch all the scoreboards and don't watch the product on the field ... There are so many ways to promote the twins product ... Have a Harmon killebrew day , Oliva , carew , kaat , puckett and blyleven day ... All these players are HOF players and we're well respected , your grandson will ask who was killebrew and your reply should be that the killer was the most prolific homerun hitter in twins history and feared by opposing pitchers during his career , watch that grandsons eyes light up when he hears this ... I would go to more games if they had days where we would honor our heros ...
