    I could live with that , if popkins is uncoachable then Molly could voice that at the end of the season ... sounds good to me ... Another shake up that might wake up some if these player's is to look at a AA player leap frogging the AAA player's , anything to bring a spice of life to the team , everyone's on notice that there job as a major leaguer is in jeopardy , might just spark something in them to play harder ... There just is no love in mudville ...

    Remember we have 1 hitting coach and 2 assisted hitting coaches ... Clean house on all of them ..

    They twins need changes , we all know that ... Please let me know when they have s we can whoop it up a bit , it's getting pretty boring everyday that us fans realize this and the FO doesn't respond ... I tired of pointing the finger at players when FO won't do anything , the FO evidently feels this is the twins and we the fans are supposed to like it anyway they have constructed it ... It's difficult to find a fan favorite in the lineup , fan favorite to me right now are Ryan , gray , Ober and Lopez and it's going to waste ....

    Him and the FO are practicing with their mumble jumble , don't you know they're going into politics ....

    Here's a stat your going to throw up in your mouth with .... I just checked in on cleveland / royals game and cleveland is winning big time , 14 to Nothing in the seventh ... The bad news Stat will be twins will be in second place .... We've been asking for accountability , changes and here we are losing our first place title second year in a row ... Changes are coming to late once again ...

    A couple of years ago the angels drafted all pitchers through the rounds of the draft in 2021 ... All pitchers ...

    The concept works for me ... Plus bring up gardenhire to replace current manager , for the rest of the season and find someone more qualified with experience and a gut feeling ...

    Another laughable season our FO has put together , can they really be this bad at evaluating talent ... They don't seem to trust the prospects to promote them ... I could live with some unpolished defense from prospects if the hitting was more exciting from them ... It's taken 2 years for this FO and manager to notice what the fans have noticed ,,, boy if that isn't a crock , they are terrible and in hiding ...

    He is a good pitcher but seems to have one bad inning each game , I like what I see on occasion , when he is on. He locates the ball very very well ... I do miss our sparkplug arraez though , he is definitely a major league hitter ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    Nothing like suffering through game after game ... Total system failure , if FO can't make the changes then it's time ownership stops believing they are the wiz kids ... Maybe after the draft ownership will confess that this is a total system failure and demand some better baseball for the fans ....

    I like the twins because I grew up following the twins with our hall of famers ... I am not proud of the current twins as their style of baseball is not acceptable ... If we win a division with a 500 record or even a sub 500 record , that would be very embarrassing going to the playoffs ... I just don't have that feeling that the twins can win each game , our Starting pitchers have kept us in most games , and most have been winnable .... PURE AND SIMPLE , no killer instinct ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    He's not on my Christmas list ... Though I think he would help the offense , he just wouldn't be enough to help this offense ,,, We are a flawed team and come deadline if we are still a flawed team , we should be sellers ... What a waste of the starting pitchers this year ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    Winnable game until you know who came in to pitch ... I laughed when pagan came into the game, WHY would he be your first choice in winnable game , WHY is he even on the team ....
  14. Blyleven2011
    It was a better week , but just slightly , Kepler and Buxton swung the big bat's, Lewis energizes the team , Correa starting to get the swing right but isn't quite there yet , Kirilloff seems to get on base , nice to see doubles by jeffers or anyone for that matter ... We might be close to the stolen base total from last season with Taylor, Castro leading the way ... Sometimes inspiring baseball played and sometimes it's not , a little more consistency is needed , better batting discipline is needed , TIRED OF ALL THE STRIKEOUTS ...

    I like and want a long winning streak ... Go twins , it will give us fans some comfort ...

    Royce Lewis hasn't much of a track record here in the MLB , but he has been a highly regarded prospect since the draft ... He has tools he needs to refine and he is just the person that can do it with his baseball instincts ... I won't speculate on his future at this time but maybe next year I'll have a better knowledge of what type of player he will be ... As for stealing bases I'm sure since management is concerned of injuries they are holding him back some , due to his 2 surgeries and I don't blame management for that at all at least for this season ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    If this is strictly about deadline acquisitions that could impact the twins immediately ... I would agree in the order from best to worse but put the mahle and Dyson trades a tie .... The FO office has not made many good deadline deals to acquire immediate help for the club , please stay away from any player that may have injury concerns ... As seller's they have faired better in trading veterans for acquired prospects and some have already contributing to the MLB roster ... Ryan , smeltzer , Duran , celestino , alcala is all I can think of at the moment ... Yes they have acquired some good talent during the off seasons trades , ( odorizze was the best and cheapest acquisition ), gray , P. Lopez, maeda just to name a few and costs were alittle higher ... Maybe the twins can be seller's and buyers at the deadline , I can't see them hanging on to some veterans and with a few tweaks could possibly strengthen the club ... And that's all I have to say about that , at this time anyways ...

    Smartest people in the room so they think ,,, 7 years of no accountability on anything , run and hide when things are going bad and can't wait to get in front of the camera when twins are playing good ..

    CLEVELAND knocking on the door sitting 1 game out as twins are currently leading the division,,, This twins team won't separate itself from the rest of the division unless it has some winning streaks and by Allstar game could be looking up to a new divisional leader ... Getting a spark going with 3 wins and then snuffed out by a team we should be beating ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    Nice 3 game winning streak ... I wasn't expecting maeda to pitch this effectively so was pleasantly surprised ... Rocco getting ejected again , ( does it help fire up the lineup and players ) , maybe , maybe not , but it's something Rocco doesn't show much of ( emotion ) ... Great start to the series , now go clean house in Detroit and sweep the tigers under the rug ... We need a 10 game winning streak , keep the fires burning ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    Don't forget he gave up 46 homers in 1987 but mostly solos and they didn't hurt as much so he keeps saying .. Bert being Bert ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    All logical choices to trade that are playing well currently that could help another team ,,, We have a surplus of players in AAA or below playing well in the minors that are blocked and will potentially lose them unprotected in the rule 5 draft ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    Sellers or buyers .... Commanding the first place lead in the division at 500 is not a pretty picture , Our goal is to win the division ... I see this team going nowhere in the 2023 playoffs against better teams but anything can happen , I have seen the 2019 and 2020 playoffs go nowhere because our hitting went south against better pitching .... I'm not seeing enough from the lineup to consider it worthy of even being in the playoffs because our lineup is even worse now during this season and wouldn't stackup again against better pitching in the playoffs ... Our Starting pitching has performed well up to now and has been keeping us in practically every game , but still alot of games left and who will remain healthy to contribute to the playoffs , our lineup and bullpen have been our main contributors for our 500 record ... I would be willing to be sellers of some veterans and some others if we continue to play 500 ball to the deadline , if we play 500 ball to the deadline there will be to many holes to fill to right the ship ... I can't take this team or fo office seriously until they Can get hungry with a killer instinct and distance themselves from the rest of the division , they've had every opportunity to do this but have failed miserably ... I will continue to follow the twins , win or lose ...

    let our younger player's play ... I feel for keuchel that he still wants to play but he only had 1 good season with Chicago and 2 not so good and released , and then Arizona , Texas and released ... I guess experience maybe helpful and a minor league contract to see if he can still pitch effectively is alright for depth ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    Hot day at the park but well worth the atmosphere .... Twins jump out early against opener , twins hitters faced 3 different pitchers and only struck 5 times and only made 24 outs because they didn't have to bat in the both of the ninth , HOW often has that happened ... I think this is also our first win against an opener ...
