    Julien has to keep his eyes on the ball even when it's in his glove , he didn't think the ball was in the pocket so it seemed ...

    When will the twins learn to run the bases ... When will the twin learn to make contact in the clutch ... WHEN ?

    Jax should be fine ,,, just don't over use him on consecutive days and rest him and it should straighten out for Jax ... Pressure shouldn't be the problem , he's had success and will figure it out with his intelligence , did not know he went to driveline ...

    Is Castro valuable ??? He has performed on the defensive side of the game where ever played , hitting isn't his strength unless he is a late bloomer .... I didn't see or hear the game but it was a nice Saturday game boxscore to read ... Not only did the blind squirrel find an acorn , but he found TWO ...

    5 hits , 9 walks and no timely hitting , unbelievable we could not muster a clutch hit ... 12 strikeouts , very concerned that the batters all need glasses ...

    Doctor Gast hit it out of the park ... We lost our sparkplug and got a good pitcher , no one has stepped up to be that spark , Polanco was that spark when he first came off the IL list for a short time ... Lewis just might be the spark this team at the top of the order leading off ... Lead the way Lewis , we need ya ...

    Great news ... Enlow only had one way to go and that Is up , yes he had disastrous results last year but everyone should have known coming back from TJ surgery it would take time ... The time is now to go up and maybe next year get a taste of the bigs and be a starter in 2025 ... Keep believing in yourself kid , it does wonders ...

    What do we have in Louie varland ... We have a Minnesota native that is out to win a world series for him , the team and twins territory ... He's a hard worker and has performed very well at every level , he's still not quite a polished pitcher but with more seasoning he will get there due to his work ethics ... I see promise here ...

    I'm going with last one picked , D- ... 2/3rd's of the twins are under performing ( I see it the way I see it ) , BATTING and BULLPEN ... No gripes with starting pitchers , they have done a tremendous job going 6 plus innings ... We are in first place , Whoopi , for how long if things don't change , I agree that the team has the skills to be 10 games ahead but just don't seize the opportunity with a killer instinct ... plus boring to watch , if the twins We're a movie how would you grade them , worse I'm sure ... The way they play the BAD NEWS BEARS could and should beat them ... Sorry I'm harsh , I love my twins but still pissed at the extention for the manager ...

    If he stays healthy he will stay .. We need his positive attitude to give this team its spark

    Way to early to speculate who goes where , and in today's game if the twins are going to fail , I would want them to fail with their own drafted prospects ,,, We used to build a good team with our own in house players , now not so much .... This isn't working out the way FO had planned im sure ...

    Another crazy way to manage the game but the twins did take advantage of a few gifts from the giants to win this ... I'll sleep alittle better even though it was a sloppy game ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    Day off tomorrow and he needed the work because somebody forgot he was a reliable reliever for the other games ....
  15. Blyleven2011
    When do you want to take possession of the farm ... It's top of the ninth and Duran is in to cover Ryan's back as twins lead 7-1 currently ... Haha , glad they are managing a win ....
  16. Blyleven2011
    Falvey always shys away from media when twins are playing bad , 2021 through 2023 ... When they play bad he has no accountability , when they play good he can't wait to get the spotlight ... Nobody in this organization is accountable for anything , players or management ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    I hope I'm wrong but wait one more game and we might be alittle worse , but the way the lineup plays I'd bet the farm we will be 500 after today's game ... I hope the ink hasn't dried on Rocco's contract and FO can say , let's see how the season plays out before we extend you .... This was a bad move and motivates no one ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    And now they have extended his contract until 2025 ,,, WHAT A CROCK ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    These players are getting paid professional money but aren't delivering a professional product except for the starting pitching ... Maybe pitching is where you want to spend your dollars ( bullpen ) ... Now if we only had a consistent hitting team that can have patience and possibly walk , single , double or get on base any way you can ... HIT THEM WHERE THEY AINT ... Yes hitting homeruns is where they ain't , Someone please tell these players and coaches there is plenty of grass for the ball to fall for hits too ... Something needs to change , this just isn't good baseball ... We fired the trainer after 2022 , but retained all of our coaches , and now extended our manager WHAT A CROCK ... Our window of opportunity is closing on us pretty quickly ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    Here a thought , stretched as it may be ... Is it possible that this front office and manager are being paid under the table ( by cleveland or Chicago ) to be the worst team in twins history ... This team does have talent but it always seems that something or someone is holding back that talent and changes aren't made for a better outcome ... I can't believe we just extended our manager during the season , could be my theory may be possible as anyone will do anything for money in today's society ... The FO and manager won't listen to the fans concerns and it's the old timers that actually go to watch the game , the younger ones go to party and don't watch the game ....

    Sad but true ....

    I really don't know what to say about tonight's game ... the pitchers deserves better , Ober off in first inning and 4 runs given up and no more , a 4 run deficit is not hard to come back from .... 27 outs per game and batters strikeout 16 times , again this is not entertaining , 2 errors ... a lineup that had Kirilloff and Julien to start and were replaced by the second inning and there was no injuries , we know Kirilloff can hit lefthanders , to small of a sample with Julien ... This was not a winnable game the way the batters played , they took the field at home and didn't come to play ... Small crowd tonight , watch them get smaller if this is the entertainment they are trying to sell to the true fans , and I mean true passionate fans ... I have been a fan of the twins and all teams in baseball since the sixties ( except for the Yankees ) ... Baseball is a great game and usually isn't boring to the true fan , but it's wearing thin with me as I'm starting to watch some other teams lately ( not that I'm rooting for them , i just like to see good baseball games ) , and their lineups don't have batters batting below .235 ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    Part of the bargain is giving the fans entertaining baseball , it hasn't been happening as we wait for the ball to be put in play and they continue not come up in the clutch ... I used to make calls when someone would hit a homerun in the past , I haven't called a homerun in a few years cause we don't truly have a consistent homerun hitter in the lineup ... We also don't have any consistent batters hitting singles or doubles ... If your going to strikeout in double digits every game , why don't they try and match that number with the same amount of hits ... I watched a game between Baltimore and Toronto this past weekend and no hitter was batting under .235 , it was a good game and Baltimore prevailed ...

    As I said in a post yesterday or was it this morning ... I was worried Rocco would use J. lopez for relief again today if game was close ,,, Has anyone noticed besides me that Lopez has been terrible relieving a starter in the middle of an inning ,,, Seems like he gives up more hits when relieving with inherited runners on bases ... He pitches better at a start of an inning ... Why wasn't Stewart used again today after last night ,,, he hasn't given up a run as of yet and looks like he handles pressure from what I've seen ... I wanted Robertson for relief in the bullpen this off season , a veteran experienced pitcher would have gone along way and he has been very consistent throughout his career , TO BAD , SO SAD ... 13 strikeouts today , another bases loaded less than 2 outs and opportunity wasted .... What have you learned Dorothy , I THINK THE PLAYERS SHOULD GO SEE THE OZ AND ASK HIM for some heart and courage ... I think the manager and coaches should ask the OZ for a brain ... This road trip of 6 games were all winnable , but it ended as a disappointment ....
  25. Blyleven2011
    Great win with lots of hits and walks , lots of runners on the bases still hate seeing runners stranded at third with less than 2 outs ... Hopefully Buxtons injury is minor as I'm sure he will rest today against ohtani ... Worried that Rocco used Lopez , Stewart and Duran last night and today in a close game he will use all three again and they might not be as sharp in a 1 run lead with more pressure ... We need a series win ...
