    My thoughts exactly is Kepler ... Time to move on and trade him or release ...
  2. Blyleven2011
    Learn something new everyday , thanks ...

    Huge hits in Huge moments are what we need by everyone ( situational hitting ) its not that difficult to learn ... But it's grip it and rip it and usually ends in a strikeout , twins lead in strikeouts , offense has scored 63 runs for the season and the pitching has been winning the games , not the offense , except for a 11 to 2 romp over the Yankees ...

    I agree , Pete and repete are not funny ... I didn't even think about an injury , I guess I missed his spill ...

    Without reading any of the posts of the writer or members this is my thoughts ... Should we be concerned about Buxton , 10 strikeouts in last 12 at bat's ... Did playing Buxton through injuries change his swing last year and we know how his average dropped while playing injured last year ... Now he seems he isn't recognizing pitch selections ... Just my thoughts , GO BUCK Now I'll read the post and responses ...

    Give it time , he will unimpress you , haha ...

    Like his doubles capabilities better than someone trying to hit homeruns and strikes out ... He has shown he has been a good acquisition so far , though I questioned the signing at the time because of our infield prospect depth ... When Lewis gets back or maybe Lee makes his mlb debut he could be traded for some value ... Neto made his mlb debut for the angles , he was drafted number 13th in last year's draft , , first of the class of 2022 .... Will Lee be next ...

    The twins now have a chance to win the series , would be unbelievable in Yankee stadium ... Varland couldn't locate in the first inning but found his groove and did a wonderful job of keeping it close so the twins could come from behind and win ... Pitching wins ... Pagan got the win oh my ...

    Of the players we acquired over the winter Solano and Lopez the starter have performed admirably , Larnach has played well and I hope all the players can stay healthy and stay off the injured list ... Hitting is needed and I miss arreaz he is Hitting , and hit for the cycle the other night , the very first cycle in marlins history ,,, Took a major leaguer to do it I guess ... Doesn't look like arreaz has peaked yet like some were saying before the trade , what a fun hitter to watch ...

    Thanks for the write up and I'll check them out when I get a chance to attend a game ,,, From my TV all I have noticed is the twins taken the field and come to play ...

    Lopez was on his game after the first inning ... In his 3 starts he has only surrendered runs in the first inning , 0 in his first start against KC , 1 in his 2nd start against miami , 2 in his 3rd start against Chicago ... 23 batters retired in a row was awesome and he just dazzled and pitched into the eighth .... Sure miss major leaguer ( arreaz ) as it took a real major leaguer to hit for the first cycle in marlins history ... Arreaz is a very exciting player to watch and I'm sure he is a fan favorite by now ... Lopez so far looks like a polished pitcher and I hope he continues and stays healthy ...

    It's a marathon season and Ryan will get plenty of starts for the season , I'm not reading anything into this start other than he did his job ... At the start of a season they say the pitcher has the advantage over the hitter as the hitters are still adjusting their timing ... Lots of slow starts in lineups , low BA , OPS and failing to score with runners in scoring position ... The starting pitchers have kept us in the small sample size of the season , the rotation is much better than last year and the year before that and the year before that season , etc. , etc . , etc . ...

    I think she should have added the first divisional contenders , the royals are not considered contenders ...

    To help the team , Kepler needs to produce more hits pure and simple in clutch hitting anywhere in the lineup ... As a leadoff hitter he needs to be patient , draw walks and get on base any way , .... The wrap , As a hitter he sucks with his approach and he is not a leadoff or a #4 hitter in the batting order , as an outfielder I love his defense .... I hate the strikeouts and some of these players should be adjusting to the pitching after years of experience and cut down on the strikeouts , go ask Correa , his Houston teams led the seasons in strikeouts multiple time and as they matured the Houston teams have struck out the least ... Strikeouts don't mean anything is what I hear alot ,,, I say bull , it's an out and unproductive at bat , if the players are going to strike out , why not let them bunt ... The wrap , rant on strikeouts over ...

    The pohlads should have had higher payrolls when they were more profitable and they wouldn't have lost so many fans in the stands ... Now they are losing money says Forbes and now have a high payroll to try and gain the fans back with a better product ,,, This really should have happened when target field opened or shortly after , after all the revenue they earned from the new stadium we should have had a better product years ago .... If Forbes is right ....

    Ted mention Moran is fighting for a roster spotcto go north ... Why is he fighting for a job on the 26 man roster , yes he walks a few to many but he van get the job done ... The best players should go north with the club ... Pagan should be fighting for a roster spot on the 26 man roster ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    Spring training early may not mean a whole lot but eventually it will mean something ... Bring the best and proven players north that have earned it , don't place someone in AAA just because he has options so we can keep someone else that didn't earn it because they are out of options ... It's early , so all is calm ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    If Lee proves himself in minors and gets a call up to the majors this year .... I'd he hits and gets on base it will take the sting out of trading arraez ... The twins need productive hitters and Lee appears to be one , Julien another and Lewis too , let the boys play ... We need some exciting twin baseball and when these players start playing and producing together I think things are going to be exciting and positive ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    All true ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    Not a fan of the extra inning rule , it is not really earning the win ... It's been in place since 2020 and it still is taking time to get used to it ... The games of yesteryear were the greatest , baseball has gotten boring recently ... Hope our manager can find a better way to play extra innings with strategy ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    No real surprise that they are looking for pitching on tge cheap side again , maybe 1 of Santana or hoffman makes the roster out of spring training .... Or they are both dfa'd and pass through waviers and then are depth at AAA .... Where is the confidence in our prospects , there going to be old man before they get an opportunity ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    Sabato will be eligible for rule 5 draft after this season so it's make or break for him ... Blaze is on 40 man roster and it is also make or break for him ... Cavaco is still young and needs to show he can make contact and hit , big money results in a big head , I remember his interview , ( said he would make the twins team in 4 years ) . He needs to get his head right or he will fail ... We always pick on the first round choices or prospects that climb our top 30 prospect list and then fail , turn us into believers of them and then they disappoint us ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    If the brain trust believes to start Polanco off slowly because he's not fully healthy in the legs he will be a primary dh as he is a switch hitter ... That would be my plan if Polanco isn't quite 100 percent ... Otherwise it will be a committee of players ... Let's hope Buxton can play the field and just be a centerfielder ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    I'd agree after reading the article that scenes would be a super pick , maybe a 2 way player * wishful thinking ) ... Wilson as a position player looks very good and his father coached him , sounds similar to last year's pick ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    I agree totally that it wasn't a good pick in 2020 and it would be nice if he can salvage his career and recoup something for him ... So far he hasn't been mentioned in any trades we have made so it looks like he is more valuable to twins organization ... Let's hope he puts a solid season together this year ...
