    I was thinking the same thing , but didn't happen this time

    Rally to tie , going extra innings with Manfred man
  4. Blyleven2011
    Kepler ties the game again in the ninth , winning run on second .... Back to back doubles , I like doubles ....

    Let the young players play , Kiriloff hit a screamer
  6. Blyleven2011
    We still have 3 outs to go ... Only need 2 runs to win , bottom of the ninth ... Let go twins ...
  7. Blyleven2011
    Maeda has been a nice surprise as a starter since coming back from his injury .... 82 pitches after 6 innings , he should be allowed to start the seventh
  8. Blyleven2011
    I corrected my post , twins have not signed Jenkins ,,, damn spell check
  9. Blyleven2011
    I looked up first round 2023 picks ... Twins and cleveland first round draftees haven't signed , possibly nationals , one source said no he hasn't signed , another source said he has signed ...

    I have a feeling the mariners are going to mean business as they too want to be playing in the playoffs ....

    You don't always hit pay dirt , but if you don't try it will never happen .... I would be in favor of trading sonny Gray for a substantial prospect and some A ball players ... We traded berrios for 2 AA prospects , has it worked out , not yet , nor has it been a flop as of yet ... Kepler or Gallo would be nice to part with , Kepler has more trade value but is a streaky hitter ,, Gallo , I wouldn't think you would get much ... Polanco is valuable to the twins and I wouldn't be shocked if he was traded regardless of his low value coming from an injury ... I'm not afraid to take chances and let the young players and prospects play their game ...

    That is my first thought ... I like sonny but if we can get great value for him at the deadline I say do it because teams over pay for pitching in deadline trades , losing petty to the trade for Gray might help get some decent pitching prospects in return ...

    It was a team effort in the ninth through the twelfth .... I was listening while driving ( nothing illegal about that i hope ) , boring game listening to the twins for eight innings , putting runners on base and failing to capitalize on scoring , 15 runners in scoring position and 10 plus strikeouts through 8 innings , the offense did manage 13 hits and 7 walks for the game so offense is starting to hit again but not in the clutch ... Some have posted they are on the bandwagon again , as a true twins fan I have never fell off the bandwagon ....

    If roster is managed properly the team can win the division and playoff games ... If is the definitive word ... I just dont see this team being managed the right way to succeed to win against the better teams , we build a solid pitching rotation but ignore the bullpen and lineup , ( traded away 2 decent hitters last off season ) , replaced them with below average hitters as of now but with better defense ... The FO and coaching is not fundamentally sound in constructing a winning formula ... Cruz with no experience in coaching is not an option as a manager as of now , maybe later ... Look what an experienced manager like bochy has done for the rangers , they too have dealt with injuries and seem to keep winning to hold first place ... Experience is very important and our current FO and coaching had no experience as head of operations coming into the twins operation , the twins owners felt a change was needed and this is the change we bargained for , I THINK NOT .... it's how you play the game that counts , those that take a WIN anyway they can get it is only asking for a let down .... Quality baseball wins , Quality leadership matters .... Quality leadership that takes accountability for the construction of a roster ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    Good game to stay up and watch , lots of action ... Julien and Kirilloff's hitting is fun to watch , Correa heating up as the number 1 batter , Kepler is streaky and making a claim to stay on the team or adding value for being traded ... Ober didn't have a good 1st inning and I thought we might be in for a long night , he managed very well through the next 5 innings ... Thanks twins for a deciding victory , it was a team effort ....

    We all feel for buck and as he plays he most certainly is playing at less than a 100 % ... His injuries last year have definitely changed his swing as he swings through to many pitches with an upper cut , he needs to level his swing some to make better contact , I agree with others that he needs to look at his past years when he was driving the ball and hitting lots of doubles , even lots of singles that he turned into doubles , he is definitely not 100 % ... The front office just might be okay with buck swinging for the fences so he doesn't have to run hard around the bases .... I also agree that he should go on the IL list and rest his injuries and then rehab to correct his timing and approach and be ready for September and possibly help the twins win the division ... Buck needs to level that swing for netter contact , but again maybe the FO doesn't want him to change , it's their style and interpretation of baseball to play for the once in a blue moon homerun ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    The final at bat was jeffers and he never swung the bat , went down looking , no killer instinct after keplers 3 run homer ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    Grays one bad inning has been a trade mark of his this year , seems like the fifth or sixth inning he gives up a crooked number ... Buxton chewing gum during his at bat's looks like he's chewing his cud like a cow , no adjustments in his swing , that upper cut has been his downfall the past couple of seasons , His swings needs to level out to make contact better .... No comments on whether it was a winnable game or not .... My comment is the twins just can't seem to put together a long winning streak ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    Good start to the game than nothing until 8th inning homerun by Gallo , twice the opportunity was there through the middle innings , 10 hits but not at the right time , 14 strikeouts not at the right time either ....
  20. Blyleven2011
    Another double play by Correa , oft-dah
  21. Blyleven2011
    I can't believe we are still awake listening to this interpretation of baseball ... Can't score with bases loaded ( twice ) same Ole , same ole ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    Gallo doesn't start the game but comes in as a pinch hitter and possibly gets tossed ... If he did get ejected that is a cause for dfa'ing , not helping him or the twins ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    Fried
  24. Blyleven2011
    Tied after five completed innings ... Time to get it going and score some runs and put it away , Pagan cant lose it now that he has been pulled...
  25. Blyleven2011
    Twins come out fighting in the first inning and looking for a knockout but since the first it's the twins that should be worried about the knockout ...
