    His control is what to keep an eye on , difficult for a pitcher coming back from TJ surgery to have good control , but paddock might be an exception and relief might be perfect for him to finish out the 2023 season . If he can return to form and not give up homeruns and walks , I say give him a shot on the roster , he has more experience than , sands , winder or Headrick ...

    It was a good week , entertaining baseball ... Royce Lewis is leading the youngsters ... Jorge Polanco is leading the veterans ... We need Polanco in the lineup , but we will miss him this week as he went on the bereavement list and returned home ...

    Great pitching from Lopez , the loss hurts cause this was a winnable game .... If this was a playoff game and we lost 2-0 , I'd take it if the twins had better results at the plate , 9 strikeouts , 6 walks but 4 hits , now if they had possibly had 8 hits with 6 walks maybe we could have scored or not but it would have been a better game , got to take advantage of opportunities ... I've said this a zillion times ,,, if Jax is on his game he pitches less than 15 pitches in the inning and gets 3 outs , you will know within the 3 batters , Jax pitched to 6 batters and threw 24 pitches ,,, Why Rocco ? , why ??? ... This has happened quite a few times this year where Rocco leaves Jax in the whole inning , he only needs to pitch to 3 batters , I like captn Jax but get him out of there when you know he's not on his game ,,, not all was his fault today though , wallner gifted a hit , Jax hit a batter and the rest is history

    I think i heard Polanco on radio is out, bereavement , flying to his country ... Pray for Polanco and his family , and pray for his mental , I remember when his grandfather passed it affected his gane when he returned ,, we need Polanco

    What took so long for his debut was he wasn't on the 40 man roster ... The FO only promotes players on the 40 man roster the majority of time , the continue to try someone , send them down after a lengthy appearance , bring up a fresh arm and do the same , rotating off the 40 man roster ... Yes , funderburk should have been up and found a spot on the 40 roster when our lefthander Moran was sent down , funderburk has transitioned from a starter to a solid relief pitcher .. Let the kid pitch , but choose wisely ...

    I didn't read the article but my thoughts are that 7 of the 8 runs scored with 2 outs ,,, When was the last time we had all these 2 out rallies in same game ... Another observation was varland coming into the game after he threw 43 pitches on Wednesday , he now throws harder than before and I don't think that is enough rest between appearances , could be why he gave up the 2 solo homeruns and control could have been off a bit , winder is on the roster , why not him to finish out the game ... We won the game and the series , let's continue towards a killer instinct winning streak of say 10 ... I'll go read the article ...

    Gotta say , the nine spot in the batting order has been productive ... Twins are in good shape ...

    Wait until next year and you can get a real birds eye view from the high rise of condos ,,,

    If the twins got no hit in a game and struck out 27 times , roccos post game summary would be the players played hard and it was a good game ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    Farmers bloops a hit and rbi to take lead
  14. Blyleven2011
    Solano has come through , starting an inning with hits or moving runners up bases and clutch hitting with rbi's ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    Raya drafted in 2020 , Injuries or just bringing him along really slow , he didn't start professionally until 2022 ... When do we have to protect him from the rule 5 draft ???
  16. Blyleven2011
    You do know that Miami waived Lopez who we sent over for floro , Lopez resigned with Baltimore ... Twins should do the same with floro and waiver him and bring up ober when ready ...

    90 wins is a stretch but it OK to shoot for the moon ... If I was younger I would have liked to go to the moon ... The op mentioned arraez's pinch hitting walk against Diaz , only he didn't mention he came in with a 0-2 count cause the batter cron I think got injured , he drew the walk and made it to third and almost scored before the game ended , he won our hearts , yes He did , Lewis is now the man winning us over ...

    Keuchel and defense went well tonight , Twins offense was just enough , bullpen shuts down the Mets ... Perfect recipe for a twins win ....

    What took the plan so long to evolve .... Adding youth to this lineup has helped us towards a better second half than the first half ... If we were to play all the veterans for the whole season where would we be , it was not exciting baseball ... Lewis started late got injured , kiriloff started a month late then a shoulder injury ... Miranda never got started and was demoted after a month of misery ... Wallner got a chance while Kepler had a injury and was sent back to the minors when Kepler got healthy , Kepler has definitely had a better second half and wallner is on the roster and playing fairly well ... Julien was called up and then demoted , then recalled and he was a spark replacing Polanco , Polanco seems finally healthy and is the only veteran that is producing down the stretch .... MAT , Farmer and Solano are over thirty but Solano is having a good season with the Twins , MAT and farmer have been average ... Jeffers is younger than Vasquez and Jeffers is hitting and having a career year , Vasquez has been better defensively in my opinion ... Correa , Buxton and Gallo , correas defense is outstanding for someone playing with plantar , why has his hitting suffered if his defense is above average , buxton is injury prone and has not been much of a contributor since injury in Boston of 2022 , Gallo has been washed up for some years and is a lefthander hitting sano .... Need I say more ,,,, What takes this FO so long to make the necessary changes to the plan , have alittle faith in the youngsters and play them ... Lewis is our energizing leader now ...

    The best 2 words written ...

    Looks like we are going to fire another trainer for not keeping our number one player healthy ... I would also fire the surgeon who botched the knee surgery and if he has another surgery , have a different surgeon do the procedure and have a quality control guy looking over his shoulder ... Can anyone remember a player so fragile ???? , John castino's career ended with injuries after 5 years ....
  22. Blyleven2011
    I sure hope Miranda isn't a 1 and done player .... If he can be sent to the Arizona fall league so he can get some game time to prepare for 2024 , I'm not sure this is possible because of his 1 year of mlb baseball ... Next he should go to driveline to help him get on track for 2024 .... Hate to give up on any player to soon ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    St Paul saints ... I know this is only AAA Baseball but lately they have had alot of clutch hitters and score a ton of runs , especially in their second half ... Twins have improved some in the clutch hitting department with Lewis and Polanco leading the way ... Today was an off day at hitting ( 2 hits ) , a 2 to 1 loss wasn't so bad , Cleveland could have smoked us ... Twins did out score the Cleveland team in the series ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    I would concur with this analysis ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    I would concur on that assumption ...
