    A lefty is nice in the rotation to break up the all righties we have , gives a different look to the opposing teams ... I don't think sears is the answer though, Oakland is as savvy as Tampa when it comes to trading away players , they most likely would come out the winner of the trade ... Trade deadline isn't to far away , twins did nothing last year , Cleveland folded at deadline but tried later with the angel's waivers, Cleveland should be buyers at the deadline ... Will be interesting with the payroll restraints ... The FO liked their players last year to win the division and did nothing , but pitching is a weakness and we need a solid number 2 starter ... I will wait and see , cause I have no crystal ball ...

    If they knew in advance he wasn't going to make an appearance in the game ... Willie should have participated in the homerun derby ... Just kidding !!! Also wasn't arraez selected to the Allstar game , I did not see his name in the box score ... I missed lot being on the road ...

    I've been out west for 2 months plus , I'm working my home in another 10 days ... Been checking in once in awhile on twins daily in that time , haven't missed many games though ...

    It's nice to see a player tie or break a record in baseball ... I'm all for the positive records being broken , not the record we broke last year with the strikeouts ...

    Balazovic , once a top prospect , what went wrong between the ears is sad ... Play in the KBO and might get another opportunity in the bigs ...

    Everyone is talking about the WPA ... The game is what counts , twins win ...

    Lots of good pitching and offense ... Twins win 10-2 ... Affiliates sweep the day with 6 wins , Makes you feel good ... Thanks for the highlights ...
  8. Blyleven2011
    Couldn't have asked for a better outcome ... Pitching and offense at its best today , unbelievable 89 pitches to go nine innings for Ober , congratulations Bailey ... It was an exciting outing for Bailey , I don't have much love for our manager , today though is an exception ...

    Lots of twins wins in the minor leagues ... Helps with the awful taste of Losing to the A's ... Thanks for the report ...

    We need a new manager and a new front office , boy are they stubborn when they're wrong ...

    It's great news that Lee is contributing since his return from the IL list ... A switch hitter that is honing his skills , hope he keeps it up and gets the call ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    Yes it worked out for Santana , Miranda could have been the hero too , but in that situation my thought was experience to pinch hit , santana has been in that situation so many times ... The numbers didn't matter and I think Rocco finally went with a gut feeling call , I'd like to see more from the gut than his sheets suggest ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    Love it when someone brings up our heros of the past , tovar and carew steal 5 bases in one inning , each stole home in the same inning , pepe was a good player , lead off hitter most of the time ahead of carew , they were fun to watch , i still remember that game and wish we had old baseball mixed with this new crap ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    Finally Rocco made a move I would agree with 100 percent of the time , pinch hitting Santana for Miranda was my choice and it went just according to plan , veteran hitter ( cool , calm and composed ) , Miranda ( young , maybe to eager in those situations but still capable )... Good walk off by Santana ... By the way , what's our record when we play in the rain ???
  15. Blyleven2011
    Cavaco , surprise or not surprised .... Cavaco was definitely a reach , They played him at multiple positions in his his professional career and he just didn't succeed with the twins , he'll catch on with another mlb or independent ball and try and get his career back on track ... A ŵake up call might get his head straightened out , bonus money could have gone to his head and being a 1st round pick too and he figured he was on the gravy train to the show .... Didn't like his interview he gave after the first round selection ....
  16. Blyleven2011
    You win some , you lose some ... Belcher, varitek were first round choices , those probably hurt the worse ... Would have loved to have the mad Hungarian in a twins uniform in his hay day ....
  17. Blyleven2011
    I too prefer the traditional old pinstripes , I'm not a fan of the city connect uni's but I do like this later one better than the cream colored twin cities one , it references blue for water and yellow for sun and also is a represents the whole state of Minnesota , Minnesota twins with MN on the left , twin cities uni's do not represent the state of Minnesota ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    The key words are really good teams and sustain it , I hope the same ....
  19. Blyleven2011
    Always nice to read these reports , especially when our twins are scuffling .... Helman seems like a player that could help the twins lineup , he seems to be consistent on hits in AAA , plus he plays multiple positions in the field ... Time for the FO to give some playing time to Herman , Keirsey and others ... We have nothing to lose with the way our current 26 man roster is playing ... They aren't on the 40 man roster but who cares , there are some players on the 40 man roster that shouldn't be , FO needs to get with the program and play our best deserving players ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    Best support for the team , I'm in and can't be any worse ... It really is time for a change in this philosophy of baseball , can't keep trying to pull everything , if you noticed the Yankees killed us by taking outside pitches the other way , our hitters ( with the exception of a few, most don't do that , there not taught to do it , so it seems ) ....
  21. Blyleven2011
    Positives out there .... There was Ryan pitchings well , 4 players that had 2 hits apiece , but they were To far apart to string together a rally , we did out hit pirates ... The loveable losers , the cubbies endured year after year of Losing , I guess I can watch the twins lose to , but it's difficult to watch how poorly this team is Coached ... what are fundamentals ? , I haven't forgotten but the team's plan at playing professional baseball has ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    Just have to stay positive and keep moving forward and be smart , a strong core is the most important thing ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    We did , thanks , my mistake ... My point being we just aren't good enough against the better teams to win , the team keeps waiting for good things to happen instead of going out and making good things happen ... Thanks for the Victory I missed against the dodgers ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    I cannot take this manager or FO seriously , the players should be better than they are , but with the plan of the FO and manager we are doomed ... We haven't won a game yet against Cleveland , Baltimore , dodgers or the Yankees ... The Yankees hit the ball where it was pitched against Ober and Paddack , I didn't watch yesterday's game ... We need twins hitters to hit the ball where it's pitched ( the yankees killed us going opposite field the first 2 games ) , outside pitches need to go opposite field , they pull it into the ground all to often , these players would be better hitters if they had that approach ...

    Let's get them tomorrow and win the series , not much exciting happened unless your a Houston fan ...
