    A six man rotation would only give the pitcher an extra day of rest where a skipped turn would give them plenty of rest to rest the arm fatigue ... Pitchers like to stay on a routine so it's hard to determine what is the right direction ... extra day of rest or skipped turn , they would benefit both ways ... we have the depth to do this so every consideration should be taken to keep our starters fresh and healthy ....

    Is this a psychological thing with the Twins players .... They seem to lose against teams they should beat and they seem to win against teams that are better than they are ... Great double digit win tonight , the rookies are performing , Lewis , Julian and wallner are doing there part with the bats on offense ... Now get kiriloff healthy and we're good to go ...

    Twins win was a sweet comeback ... i didnt think we were going to hit any homers other than solos , wallner single and correas double helped the game along and then jeffers 2 run homerun was good timing , he's swinging the bat good and has remained healthy too ... Team effort and Taylor regardless of his batting average has done an admirable job .... Lewis was on fire , perfect 3 for 3 plus a walk ... Hurray for the bullpen , they did their job as well ... Let's get another win just like this one tonight , Texas is 0-7 in last 7 games .,.

    Sign him to a hundred million dollar contract...

    Man , look at the walk to strike outs ,,, Very impressive Stat, especially for a catcher that is suppose to give you defense and hitting is just a plus ... Thanks

    I disagree , everyone mikelink45 listed were good defensive catchers and mostly good hitters , Mauer won 3 batting titles as a catcher .... We're they better than Mauer as a catcher , who was better defensively at blocking , throwing out runners , the debate begins ...

    As there are plenty of players that have terrorized the Twins , Cabrera being one of them ... the one that really sticks out for me is Edgar Martinez , he always killed us ... Such a good hitter ... I know nothing of Gavin Williams to comment on ...

    Garver had a tremendous 2019 , as a lot of players had career years , it was an exciting year of Twins baseball and we finally beat the Yankees at something that year , we out homered the Yankees by 1 homerun , won over a hundred games and Mauer just retired after 2018 ... Mauer will eventually get in to the Cooperstown hall of fame , he was a very good hitting catcher ....

    I concur they were definitely gun shy at this years deadline and didn't want to make poor choices 2 years in a row ... The past off season proved again that they made a poor choice and didn't add any quality bullpen arms by way of free agency ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    Interesting game for sure but it was all predictable when Rocco brought in pagan with a 6-3 lead , everyone but Rocco knows pagan is going to serve up a homerun , it was unpredictable that theilbar would give up a solo homerun to tie it ... It was also kind of predictable that Duran would not do well in his second inning of work , he hasn't faired all that good in 2 inning outings .... I don't think it's funny at all that our bullpen faltered 2 games in a row when our FO could have added some free agent bullpen arms this past off season , I get not adding at this year's deadline because of the talent we traded at last year's deadline they were gun shied away and didn't want to look bad 2 years in a row making poor choices on deadline trades ... The FO continues to make poor choices and this year's poor choice was not finding a couple of quality bullpen arm's in free agency last off season ...

    No the joke is on the FO for their evaluation of contructing this twam
  12. Blyleven2011
    I dontv think this is funny that bullpen couldn't hold on to win either game ... They could have signed bullpen help last winter or even deadline but choose not to .... Will there excuse be that injuries hampered the season again and trainer gets fired again and they keep all the same coaches ,,, Again I don't think this is funny ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    It seems that Duran has no luck when pitching , he pitches fairly well but his fielders seem to miss balls in play while he is pitching ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    Duran needs to get 3 outs with very few pitches or he definitely won't be used in first 2 games ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    But can we hold on ???
  16. Blyleven2011
    Up to Kepler , can he be clutch
  17. Blyleven2011
    If they use Duran in the tenth with a lead , he definitely will miss the next 2 games against Texas ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    Will we even be a 500 team ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    I don't think this is funny 2 days in a row , especially since the FO could have added some bullpen help last winter ... Twins have a lead and bullpen can't hold it , the joke is on the FO for there evaluation on contructing this 2023 team , they did fine with starting pitchers but ignored the rest ....
  20. Blyleven2011
    That missed catch just cost Correa any chance at a gold glove .... Had he made the catch and completed the double play he would have catapulted to the top of the list for gold glove ... He took his eyes off the ball , with the runner running in front of him , got to follow the ball right into the glove ....
  21. Blyleven2011
    He did the same thing with JAX , Jax didn't have his stuff and Rocco left him in and again cost us a chance to keep the score close ... There is a 3 batter minimum that Rocco seems to ignore , he just wants 1 inning from a pitcher regardless of the outcome ....
  22. Blyleven2011
    Very reasonable selections .... Would be nice to see another lefthander in funderburk and sorry Gallo but you are of no help to the team and funderburk can have his roster spot on the 40 ... We need pitching and can only carry 14 pitchers in September , funderburk makes the most sense to me ..
  23. Blyleven2011
    Carew no questĺon ... I liked killer and tony o but that year in 77 was so special for a Twins fan to watch Carew ,,, No twin will ever come close to topping Carew's production that year ... Not the way they play the game today ....
  24. Blyleven2011
    Kepler has always been a streaky hitter ... Hope he keeps it going and would like to see Gallo gone by playoffs , he can't help us there ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    If the Twins want to be considered a homerun hitting team , they need to write a letter to mlb office to please bring back the juiced ball ... That magic only happens once in a blue moon but they keep trying ... I keep writing letters to the FO to bring back the singles , doubles and triples .... Bring back the excitement , solo Homer's are not game changers or exciting , the strikeouts are embarrassing ...
