    I do agree with , the twins only way to go is up ... When's the consistency going to happen ???

    It hurts to say it but Julian's struggles need to get straightened out or someone else is always fighting for a spot ... Looks like he needs a different scenery in St Paul to light a fire in him ,,, did the homeruns in April ruin his hitting ??? ... I'm sure he is working hard to get straightened out but he isn'thelping the team right now ... We need his 2023 bat ...

    How's varland doing in AAA ? , haven't heard any highlights of him ...

    A very poor one , consistent would be better but ain't happening ...

    It's been a tough stretch for Pablo , we expect he will pitch better , let's wait and see ... The twins still have no real identity , they win 12 , lose 7 , win 4 ... We now play royals , let's play good ball , today's loss was not good , consistently is all we ask for ... I would take a 81 -81 season every year if they would play exciting consistent baseball ...

    Lots of different views on DeShawn keirsey ... Keirsey was drafted in 2018 and had some hype and decent number's in a very small sample to start his professional career ,,, injuries robbed him of development , 2022 he finally overcame his injuries and has developed into a very capable player the past 2 plus years staying healthy ... I don't care if he's 27 and not a prospect , I care that he çould help the team , I've watched him since he has been healthy and producing and he has the ability to hit and play defense at the major league level ... Put Him in coach he's ready to play sometime this season ... He is undervalued but could be a good player ....
  7. Blyleven2011
    I will agree with that ....

    Duran doesn't show alot of confidence , especially after the homerun and followed by the single ...

    I said the same thing last night when Jax came in on a blowout win ... Rocco being Rocco ... I'm sure we will see staumont in the eighth or ninth ...

    They might want to buy a hotdog when the vendor is close ...

    Yep , he has no faith in his rookies...

    Good pitched game from Ryan , just what I asked him to do yesterday ... Finally got to a left hander for eight runs , buxton hitting two homeruns was nice , Jeffers hitting is sliding backwards right now ... Miranda is playing pretty good defense and hitting is okay and Castro is Castro after a slow start ... We need a team effort from everyone and that includes our manager and coaches or someone should be held accountable , not just the players ...

    I tuned in late , seventh inning and chuckled when I saw the score 10-3 , It wasn't a chuckle of enjoyment , it was a chuckle of disgust , our best pitcher gets clobbered ... Ryan express , we need a perfect game out of you tomorrow , please...

    Week in review couldn't have been said any better nick ... The twins have reverted back to playing possum ... Unexciting dead baseball , the plan our players have been exposed to will never be consistent winners ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    Not an unexpected result , I would agree with you ... The whole team is a pathetic , pitiful and piss poor except for the 2 good starts this week by woods richardson and paddack ... It's hard to watch and not to exciting but watching paddack pitch 8 innings was nice ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    The whole truth and nothing but the the truth ... Are the twins winners or losers , It's hard to come to any conclusion yet , we got to beat the better teams , Chicago and Anaheim are bad teams we took batting practice against them and built up some confidence ... We have to play better baseball against better teams and their starting pitchers ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    Ugly loss today , let's get them tomorrow ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    Defense is the game ... If your very good at defense you have a position on this team , for a few years Kepler was lost at the plate and everyone wanted him gone and twins stuck with him ... Vazquez has good skills behind the plate and a good repertoire with the pitchers , yes I wish he would hit better , I'll take his defense over his hitting ... Catching is the most important position of the team , or it used to be , catchers called the game , positioned players in the field , but today it's more of the dugout that has the control of the game , so it seems ... Vazquez is a decent defensive catcher ... Nice to hear he went to driveline over the winter to try and improve his game , so those that don't like Vazquez should be a little more positive that Vazquez is a team player ...

    Arraez ( major leaguer ) was loved as a fan favorite in twins uniform because he hit like carew ... Arraez ( major leaguer ) is going to be just as loved by the Padres because he bats like Gwynn ... People are going to say his defense isn't equal to Carew and Gwynn , but you can't argue about the bat , love his style and professionalism ... Go Luis , good luck on another promising chapter ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    I would agree too , our spring training efforts are lacking in the preparation of the season ... It seems like they are very cautious about the main roster getting injured and the players just don't get enough game time repetitions to be ready for the season , plus they go from warm climate to colder climate , ( lame excuse ) ...

    I'm still not totally convinced the twins have solved their problems ... Don't get me wrong the 10 game winning streak against white Sox , angels and white Sox, it was good batting practice against those teams to generate some confidence ... The first 2 games against Boston to extended the winning streak to 12 games helped me gain some confidence in the twins approach , hitting did come alive during the streak , strikeouts came down , doubles went up , solo Homer's do nothing for me ... What worries me most is the hitting , yes it's came alive but against bad teams , beating Castillo yesterday wasn't easy ,, they only managed 3 hits against him and the bullpen allowed the inherited runner to score 3 against him ,, the batters did make their hits count with back to back doubles , walk and a double , walk to load bases ,, Vazquez SF to score 1 run and then Margot single two score 1 run .... What concerns me is the hitting against good pitchers ... The point being is the hitters have to make the hits count and they did against Castillo, it wasn't easy ... We did have better pitching in the game , woods richardson was tremendous ...

    I sure hope all this batting practice they had over white Sox will carry over for some good games in California and a longer winning streak ....
  23. Blyleven2011
    Buxton had a good night at the plate , larnach also was a huge contributor and kiriloff with the game winning clutch hit ... The bright side might be right around the corner ...

    Week in review ... I don't need the reminder especially when we are losing , but we need to vent ... Baseball is a team effort , and everyone is accountable starting with the owners , FO , coaches and manager , and the players ... The off season moves did not set us up to succeed this year , after last season of breaking our losing streak in the playoffs winning 2 in a row over toronto and 1 against Houston our wiz kids after the world series was over decided to let our free agent pitchers walk and tried to patch a rotation that hasn't any resemblance to last year rotation ... What kept us in the games last season while our hitting suffered for the first half ???? And who won some playoff games for the first time since 2004 ???? The answer is above average starting pitching ... Team effort , F ...

    Sundays matinee game .... Decent crowd , sunny , perfect for baseball until the twins took the field ... Deflate gate in the first innings , varland walks first two batters and I guess we all knew it was going to be a long afternoon and twins load bases in bottom half of 1st inning with 1 out and failed to hit a sacrifice fly or clutch hit and I guess we really knew then it was going to be a really long day trying to mount a comeback ...... Varland , Worst I've seen him pitch , I think he gets 1 more start to figure out a new plan , he was definitely not confident in attacking the hitters ... Varland is a hard worker , can't give up on him as a starter quite yet , everyone knows he was impressive in the bullpen towards the end of last year and that could be his nitch , but not yet ...
