    I just hope we draft the best athletic available 5 tool players , if the draft is heavy with talent there should be alot of 5 tool players to go around , we need players that will be exciting and make the highlight plays ... No 1 tool player that can hit only or injury prone player please ...

    Crazy we were all clamoring for Lewis and now we are picking him apart ... If he has holes in his swing , it's up to HIM and COACHES to get it fixed ... If he is a below average defender at third base it is up to HIM and the COACHES to get it fixed ... To me it seems when a player gets to the show , Rocco and coaches think that player doesn't need further coaching to make that talent even a better talent , Rocco has always said that the players should prepare for the game as they seem fit ... That's why we lack the real fundamentals of the game in my personal opinion ...

    Don't mess with Lee's swing for power ,,, He's hitting doubles better than any current twin ,,, he has power , it's called gap power ... I'll take his doubles , his contact to ball in the 3 hole in the coming future any day of the week ... Neto is a California angel and first to play in the majors from the 2022 class of prospects ...

    That a BIG OUCH ...

    The fifth inning saw more corn cob ... Tell the truth and shame the devil ,,, have you called the kernels corn cobs before or did you use my nickname from yesterday's post ... A writer writes ....

    I wish our week in reviews were more positive , but it's just the way it is with a crappy playing baseball team that is hard to watch take the field ... I wish they would come to play once they take the field ... They remind me of a possum and play dead at home and get killed on the road ... And that's all I have to say about that ...

    Bad news ... This was a very upsetting home series with Detroit winning 3 games in our home , embarrassing really .... All I can say is that these two teams are terrible , bad disciplined baseball and Detroit out played us ... 14 strikeouts , 7 hits , mental errors , bad base running again by Solano , Varland not on his game again , I'm really pulling for this minnesotan to take us the distance , he's worked hard to get here , maybe driveline will work for him this off season like Joe Ryan did last off season ,,, Good news ... Welcome to the show ... Balazovic made his debut and pitched fairly well for 3 plus innings , 1 walk , a few hits and some strike outs ( no runs ) , big fella throws in the mid 90's , I'm sure they will option him back to st. Paul ... I hope all the twins make reservations for driveline this winter because they need more help than they are getting from our staff ...

    I don't know what the odds were but it would have been a safe bet to make that he would and then double down that it would be looking ... I'm sorry buck , your just not fun to watch right now ...

    Alot of game left but I'll tune in on radio and find something to occupy my time while still listening ... Hope for a comeback as always ...

    True , I was just stating what Rocco did with Kirilloff who is a better hitter against lefthanders
  11. Blyleven2011
    Rocco likes Kepler and everyone knows that ... But when is he going to learn Kepler is a rally killer and does belong batting higher than eighth ... He doesn't pinch hit for Kepler but did against Kirilloff when he had to face a lefthander ,,, Another head scratcher ...

    Looking back at 2019 and 2020 playoffs the hitting was poor in each series cause they went up against better pitching ... Now the hitters make very little contact with any pitcher these days ... The twins went out and traded at the deadline last year ... alot of us didn't think we were serious contenders for the playoff last year and didn't want to add ... Alot of us thought they were going to win the Central , and the FO added players with team control mostly in trading off prospects which was a good trade off and not just for rental player's ... The players acquired at deadline and our regular player's under performed and injuries hampered our goal to the division title ... This year going into this season minus a couple of our better hitters from last season being traded were replaced by Gallo , farmer , Solano and Taylor , also Miranda was demoted after a month in April ... On paper there was concerns about our lineup that the fans questioned , and now performances of the players have answered those questions in a bad way , unwatchable baseball ...

    Lewis , mathews and Culpepper , we got our eyes on you ... Go get them you corn cobs ...

    Williams was drafted in the 8th round of 2018 same year jeffers was drafted in the 2nd ... I have been following Williams for a few years and he does seem like a late bloomer if you compare him to jeffers ( jeffers debuted in 2020 ) , Williams been a slugger in the minor leagues and now since he reached AAA last year has primarily played first base and DH ... If the twins are going to keep him and not trade him , I'd like to see a late season call up and see if he can adjust to MLB pitching .... How long has it been since we had a power hitting first basemen ( Morneau ) , and he's a right-handed bat , something the Twins need over garlick ...

    He definitely is not the same player we have come to expect ... Are the twins being to cautious not playing him in CF or is he injured ... The FO seems to think that the players have a right to privacy and the fans don't need to knowxif he is suffering from an injury ... I wish the FO and Rocco would be more forth coming and communicate to the fans so we can cut him some slack if he is injured or just lay it on thicker if he's not ...

    By a larger margin or percentage

    And there hasn't been enough wins to satisfy the twins fans ... Rocco say his players have the skills and talent , What's holding them back ...

    Twins win , THE TWINS WIN ... Two bad teams that can barely hit the ball , I almost fell asleep...

    You think we're frustrated with the twins giving us a headache ,,, I'm sure the Padres and Mets fans have migraines ...

    Guess out long man Hendrick can't go twice through the order .... What's up with that Rocco , he's stretched out as a starter in AAA ... I

    9 strikeouts , 50 percent ... Tge strikeouts gotta go ... Twins are ahead and that's what matters ..

    I know you like Julien as a hitter and not so much as a 2nd baseman , Julien bat has done well in a small sample ,,, I hope his defense does get better after the jitters subsides , what would you think of a veteran of Polanco as a DH ,,, I think Polanco for sure would be better than Buxton as DH and maybe would help him stay healthy , I posted this during spring training of my thoughts ...
