    Your amongst friends that are disappointed too ...

    Seth either I wrote it wrong or you read it wrong .... I was stating that Gray was probably telling him he was good to go and im sure he was good to go because of his competiveness to help the team for another inning and Rocco saw something that wasn't right in grays start and didn't let him pitch the fifth ... I too like gray and all the starters

    It just amazes me how BAD we play against BAD teams ... Twins found some runs early but Detroit scores 7 unanswered runs ... Sonny pulled after 4 innings , did he have another inning left in him , maybe so , I for sure would have brought him back for the 5th , he's a veteran and he wouldn't lie to his manager that he was good to go ... Pinch hitting , Kepler for Solano , why , Solano can hit right-handed pitching , his bat is hot lately and is pinch hit for ... Defense wasn't what is expected of a contending team ... I guess we put it behind us and tomorrow is another chance at a win , CHANCE is the key word ... Detroit wins 8-4 , man are we BAD ..

    Oakland would take Williams in a heartbeat , he's there kind of player ,,, Twins would only have a dh spot for him unless of course there are injuries ... Williams was drafted tge same year as jeffers I believe ...

    If I'm not mistaken , his option is based on plate appearances not games played , if Polanco gets to the number of plate appearances it automatically renews , if not the the FO can either renew , trade him or let him walk , wise choice would be to renew with two option years remaining and then trade if that is there avenue ...

    I wasn't going to read this ... but I totally agree with everything you wrote , I've stated many times that the twins have no rhythm or harmony in their approach at the plate because they don't know their roles ... Lots of head scratching on the FO and managers plan , both times we faced an opener recently we weren't prepared ...

    Problem , I don't see no stinking Problem ... If Minnesota keeps playing him exclusively at third base then I see a Problem because of Lewis manning third base and Kirilloff and others manning first base he has no position except as a bench player or DH and he needs to hit every day to stay productive ... If he can improve on his defense and I'm sure he can then maybe Lewis can move to second base or outfield with his athleticism but not in favor of that move to tge outfield ... Minnesota may know he needs a new home but are reluctant to find one for him, his new home could be with another team ... As usual the FO doesn't tell us anything on a players condition and that injured shoulder in spring training could have been the reason for his slow start and now maybe it's finally healing up and he's swinging better for hard hit contact ...

    That's Rocco being Rocco , I said the same thing , Lewis can hit righthanders but Rocco thinks the lefty match-upworks better ( huh ) , there has also been times where Kirilloff has been pinch hit for against lefthander and he can hit lefthanders ... Your starters are your best players , not the bench ... Lewis is not hurt ...

    If it wasn't for Taylor and castro's stealing bases , where would the twins be in stolen bases , sure they could get caught stealing and cost us an out , but a double play costs us two outs ... Keep the runners running ... Bremer suggested Taylor could bunt to lead off the ninth like he did in Toronto to give the twins a spark ,,, that was the longest hit bunt i have ever seen dick , good call ...

    I wonder if they can beat their record of 20 in a row back in 2002 .... I like winning streaks , wish the twins would have a big one ... Go twins ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    You would think they would have announced that he was going to be available when his IL expired and not 1 hour prior to the Milwaukee series ... drawing fans to the game Is the Name of the game and if he is activated than our professional public relations person is not doing their job ... Sound familiar on not doing their job ... It's the twins way , keep the fans guessing ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    Are we back to 2022 again , you just saved me 1 year of my life , the way the twins have been playing they have shortened my life by 10 years ... It's 2023 but I'll still party like it's 1999 ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    It's a bad team because the smartest management in the room made it ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    Where do we start ??? I don't really know what to say about the FO addressing the needs of the team ... They will probably do the opposite of what the fans think are right ... Gallo was a head scratcher this offseason , why did we acquire him , he's had bad production his past couple of years but they saw something in him just like they see something in pagan and Kepler ... If the FO does anything it will probably be another head scratcher unless they unload the 3 mentioned above ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    I'd say alittle to early to be talking about an extention , Let's see how Ober and varland perform over the long season before thinking of an extention for mahle , yes you can never have to much pitching but an injured pitcher is worthless ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    Prime opportunities ... they've had alot of prime opportunities with the starting pitching keeping us in the games ... Starters have been solid for two months plus , the hitters have just lost their focus on situational hitting , can't make contact and strikeouts galore ,,, can't score with less than 2 outs , have a losing record in 1 run games , etc. Etc . ....
  17. Blyleven2011
    Do you really have that much confidence that we will make the playoffs cause feel we are letting it slip away again ... Only earlier this year rather than later last season ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    When pagan came in we all knew the outcome was going to be bad , we all called it ... When Ron Davis came in , we called it then too , never thought there would be another one like him but history repeats it's self ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    The words they used is he reaggravated his oblique and they don't know when it happened ... If that's their quote , what does it say about our new trainer ... Don't know when it happened , what a crock ...

    To much scotch turn to pissed and vinegar ...

    Culpepper was drafted last year , along with zebby mathews and Cory Lewis ,,, There has been of hype on these pitchers who have gotten off to a good start in pro ball .... Lewis throws a knuckleball in his arsenal , all three will get promoted or have been promoted to high a ball cedar rapids this year ....
  22. Blyleven2011
    So Culpepper is a clone to Ryan ,,, If he's doing good at the Florida level , a promotion should be coming soon ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    Tough day for zebby , he got 2 outs and was pulled , he's been solid so far this year so I expect he will be wll rested for his next start ... I'll be paying attention to zebby and Lewis and see if they could be useful down the road ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    And doesn't crawl back in its hole ... We'll see how the game goes today ,,, it was a real motivator for the fans , will it be a motivator for the players ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    If Larnach hadn't hit that homer in the seventh I would have been fishing for my dinner ... It pulled me back in to till the end , a good win is hard to come by these days ...
