    I'm still listening and I don't know why ...... I'm a loyal fan but man that is getting very difficult to be ... There better draft someone today that can step right in and help ....

    If the twins didn't want to play this game , they should of just forfeited this game and started their vacation ... No harmony to this team ... Not a good outcome going into Allstar break

    I'm just going to wait and then bash or praise the pick ... Get it right and I agree don't get cute , we have to build our mid market team with high quality players ...

    Yes it has ended similar to last year only earlier this year.... Worst plan I have ever seen , FO is trying to follow the plan like the movie moneyball and they aren't succeeding, but the aberration is they believe it IS ... WHAT A CROCK ...

    In most cases for talented players you need 3 years to evaluate what kind of player he might be offensively or defensively ... With injuries of course it can take longer to know if he can fill out his projections or not ...

    Atlanta's pitchers also have had time on the IL , some long , some short .... Injuries ; My impression is depression ...

    Seth , Could you please state what the development list really is ? ,,,

    A gem of a pitching performance , truly dominated a poor royals team ... Starting pitching is definitely our strengths this year unbelievablewe have seen 2 shutouts pitched in the same season ... Hitting still has a ways to go , we'll see how it plays out against Baltimore , we need to at least win the series at home against a better team like Baltimore ...

    to early to say on trade value ... Martin was doing well in 2021 and finished well with the twins , then the team asked him to change his style of hitting for power and he wasn't the same player he once was until later in the season he converted back to his regular style of Hitting in AA and in the AZFL , now 2022 he has had multiple injuries and his season is just beginning , yes the twins staff has been slow at finding him a position other than at shortstop ( another head scratcher from the coaching ) ... If there is blame on lack of production with Martin it is on the front office ... Pitcher SWR Richardson was the other player in the trade and was an Olympian at the time of the trade , he was in AA but did not pitch much after the trade in 2021 , 2022 he was a solid starting pitcher in AA and moved up to AAA and had a 1 solid start at the end of 2022 with the twins ... what has happened to him this year as he has regressed , is he injured , maybe ? , did he not do the proper training during the offseason to stay in shape , maybe ? , was he rushed to the major leagues or have the coaching been responsible for his ugly numbers in 2022 , could be ? .... SWR is young and there could be a future , Martin has the remainder of the season to show us his hitting style is for real and then back to the AZFL and be ready for spring training .... Wouldn't hurt if the front office paid for both players to go to DRIVELINE and get their confidence and listen to other voices of opinions , because it just might be the plan the twins have just might of screwed up their heads alittle ....

    Strikeouts creates a breeze , We are stuck in the 2019 season most definitely .. Put that in the Groundhog day movie ...

    I vote Brandon manager of the twins , at least he's trying something solid for two week's ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    Yes I'm excited we won and that we are 1 game over the pathetic 500 mark .... Maeda went 7 innings and 9 strikeouts ,,, that's a good game , but it's also the Kansas city royals ... Yes we got hits and homers but again it's the Kansas city royals and greinke at the end of his career ... We are supposed to beat these teams , and we do beat the Kansas city royals but we can't beat the rest of the sub 500 teams out there ... Sweep Kansas city tomorrow and win the series against Baltimore and then maybe we can relax some , but consistency is what we need ... Sure would like for the twins player's to go get a killer instinct and playball hard ... I want a 10 game winning streak or more , even several winning streaks would be nice ...

    When they signed Gallo I was not sure why , they just paid off Sano to go away ... My thoughts were all Gallo is is a left handed Sano with better defense , and that still rings between the ears ... Sano has no mlb or minor league job , Gallo is lucky to be employed in mlb baseball , I would have preferred a younger player taking his roster spot ... It was a gamble and so far twins are on the losing end of it ... Gallo has never been a clutch hitter , around 200 homers with around 400 rbi's in his career is not very productive ... He does strikeout well and strikeouts must be contagious because all the hitters on the team are projected to have a career percentage of strikeouts ... Not money well spent but who knows what the second is in store for him , find a taker at the dealine and package pagan with him please ...

    Correa with a 4 hit night , if he can be the spark leading off the game , so be it ... I also said the same thing about the pinch hitting , was nice to see they got 2 hits in 3ctries with a pinch hitter , Julien ignited the eighth with a blast , the ball off the bat was loud and I knew it was a homerun by the sound ... Good game , only 1 homer so the others runs came by walks , singles , doubles and some stolen bases and a uncharacteristic bunt in the eighth that scored a run , strikeouts were down so contact was made as the twins had 14 hits for their efforts ... We need games like tonight on a consistent basis , still would like a 10 game winning streak before I get to serious ...

    They will just have to wait it out for their chance ... Right now let's see how this homestand goes , if it gets ugly then don't wait till deadline to make the changes necessary , do it during the break ....

    I agree that his defense wasn't very good last year .... I too would like to know hid defense has improved , Thanks Seth ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    I'm for it , can't hurt and might be exciting seeing players that can make some contact ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    I was thinking the same thing , it should be a wake up call for the players to do better , if they aren't chosen it's for a reason ... Can't knock the starting pitchers this year , which by the way is going to waste unless the hitters perform consistently day to day ... Attendance is dwindling at target field , wonder what Attendance at twins fest will be next January and even Attendance at spring training .... If Attendance is dwindling it should tell the owners something , the fans don't enjoy the FO 's interpretation of baseball ... I hope the owners don't wait that long ( spring training ) to realize we have a total system failure and fans lack of interest ... Total system failure when we can't even get players voted in ,, I don't know if any of our players were in the top 5 of any position for voting as i dont follow the Allstar game or its voting like i used to...

    Okay , I'll call you skeptical Nick ... We all are skeptical and we are all tired of it ... 2021 we were terrible with bad pitching , 2022 wasn't much better on pitching but they blame the season on injuries and depth mostly , 2023 they really improved the pitching and depth but now this set of skilled players cannot make contact ... I think we should change the name from week in review TO week in reverse cause I just don't see any forward progress

    Since when does the season start MID SEASON ... As posted by another member , he is not a leader of men and I totally agree , his first season as manager was 2019 , the players made his job easy by having career years and out hitting the Yankees 307 to 306 homeruns in a juiced ball season and then he wins the manager of the year based on the players career years , not by a managing aspect , to me it wasn't deserved because there was no evidence that Rocco was a good manager ( cash or Boone) deserved it more because they managed and rocco sat back and watched the career years the players had ,,, evidence was in the playoffs in 2019 and in 2020 , he was definitely out managed and has been since his arrival ... I have never seen a manager lose so many games during the season , the manager needs to make adjustments as well as the players , take the talent you have and tap into that talent and make that talent a better player ( it can be done , we have the technology , we just dont have the coaching to help the players make these adjustments ) ,,, Rocco says that players need to be ready to play and that No batting practice or fielding practice , no baserunning practice or fundamentals of the game are demanded unless the player feels he needs it , Rocco needs to use his eye test and help a player that needs the help or your going watch that player regress ... HOW MUCH BETTER WOULD THIS TEAM BE IF THEY WERE TO PRACTICE , hitting , fielding , base running , fundamentals on a daily bases .. PRETTY SOON THOSE SPREAD SHEETS ARE GOING TO BE WORTHLESS because of players lack of performance as they regress ... Yes every season is different with different sets of players each year , but the manager remains the same and the results will be the same because Rocco isn't making the adjustments either ... A manager can be a good teacher ( Kelly for one , he and his coaches took players and made them better players ) ... This isn't all on Rocco either , the FO also has to make adjustments to their flawed interpretation of baseball ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    Yes it's definitely a snub ... But a logical snub ... Baltimore is playing well and twins are not , so the Baltimore players are the chosen ones , Jansen and Rooker are their Lone representatives as is Sonny Gray ... I could see Duran as more of a logical choice over Gray as Duran is a very dominant pitcher ... The best players don't always get voted in or chosen ....
  23. Blyleven2011
    None yet but if Lewis has another good month he should be , let's reward these players and move them alittle faster , there working hard and performing good they don't want to play in the minors ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    Keep testing Lewis, promote to AA ,,,, Something tells me he just might be special .... If they work hard , the incentive is they get promoted if he has another month like June ... Other teams promote faster than the twins ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    .it's time to start trusting our prospects , Funderburk has pitched well in AA and AAA , he just won pitcher of the month , promote our prospects on the incentive plan , you work hard and do well you get to the show ... Even if the pitcher is from AA he could possibly be an option for the show , let's see what we have cause I always here that teams need pitching , pitching and more pitching or you can never have to much pitching .... Twins just never have enough pitching and FO doesn't trust our prospects and always let's the dumpster diving pitcher get the promotion .... Thanks for letting me vent ...
