    There was alot of excitement on the thread in our come from behind win , it took 7 innings but the game was still winnable being behind 3-1 .... The eighth inning there was hooting and hollering , yippee ki aye , no way , yes way after that grand slam by Correa and that was just the beginning , Kepler belted a 3 run homer in the same inning and more of the same ... My point is it was fun being on the daily thread in a twins win to the end , finally delivering some big runs late in the game rather than calling for their mommy to go home ... Strikeouts still alarming , but they picked each other up in that 8th inning , it picked me up too ...

    I too opted not to watch the game but caught it on the radio and just finished the fish I also caught ,,, It was a win win situation last night ...

    I wish Lou Brown was managing the twins ... It was just a movie but he could do better than the current Manager ... Rejoice that Rocco finally showed he was hungry for a win and left Duran in for the tenth ...

    Thanks , I was out of town that weekend so I missed it entirely ... Crazy he is even wanted by any team , even if it is a minor league contract ...

    If pohlads don't come out and say this is a total system failure it is a travesty ... History is repeating itself , not in a hundred or thousands of years apart but just in a few years ... The FO retained all coaches from last year they really believed that it was injuries that derailed our season , mostly that is true but coaching was also questioned ... Sometimes the FO goes and gets what they think is a quality player ( position or pitcher ) in a trade and says it's exactly what we are looking for but ends up being a flop because their evaluation or somebody's evaluation is poor ... Same goes With their evaluations of their coaching staff , it's also a poor evaluation , tingler was not a good manager and I'm not sure if he is a good bench coach , I hear nothing from the players ... But my eye test on 3rd base coach , hitting coach fundamental coach , base running coach seems to not get the message across to the players ... Do you know you can make fire with ice , yes you can .. The twins are a bunch of ice statues ... How to make fire with ice , use a chip of ice and on a sunny day use it as a magnifying glass to start the fire ... I recommend that the FO and Rocco start using a magnifying glass to see their errors and light that fire in their player's ...

    If I go to a game , I will sit behind the dugout and will have a sign that says ... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH , FIRE ROCCO , you can't play money ball as good as Oakland or even your mentor Tampa Bay in smaller print ... Anyone want to join me ???

    I like this philosophy , better bottle 🍾 it ...

    Farmer is the emergency catcher from what I heard when we acquired him ...

    This team has not made any adjustments to swinging since 2020 ... They think they are all homerun hitters and swing for the fences when a single is all that is needed to score a run ( a Texas leaguer they use to call them bloopers ) ... No adjustments since the juiced ball ...

    On the game thread I noticed only 80 something replies .... Either there is nobody watching or listening ... If the twins would string together some hits and runs the replies would be hooray hurrah , twins are hot today , this is an exciting game , even as boring as the twins play if you can't break a 100 replies there definitely something wrong with the style of twins baseball ... Yes it was an afternoon game but there still should be over a hundred replies , I was listening and working on the outside of the house on a beautiful day ... It would have been great to get a win ... THE PAIN , THE PAIN , THE PAIN , it just won't go away and I don't think it's funny that the fans aren't smiling , now 2021 was funny , cause you could predict the outcome when Colome came in , or the extra innings losses with the new manfred man starting at second base .... By the way did Colome get a contract this year with any team ???

    Well put ,,, it will be a lost season If they don't act fast ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    So true , I should have phrased it younger and whatever is left of the prospects in AAA or AA ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    trades are not necessary ... The FO has made several trades in the past few years , the ones that have been the worst have been from the trade deadline acquisitions under duress and romo probably gave us the most value ... The better ones that have given us value have been during the off season under no pressure ... So learning from their mistakes they should realize that they are not the smartest people in the room at deadline acquisitions and remain pat and find help within the organization ... Let's see the prospects play ...

    THE PAIN , THE PAIN , THE PAIN ... NOT A SMILE BY ANYONE ... thanks twins daily members for helping my PAIN , it helps knowing that others ( not just me ) are in the same boat and feel the PAIN ... LIST OF MY PAINS ... lack of a true leadership ... Lack of offense ... Lack of fundamentally sound baseball and playing the game the way it is supposed to be played ... Oh the pain being a loyal passionate twins fans ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    This was my thought too ... Kepler needs to sit , he isn't unlucky he is just plain bad , head isn't made for major league ball ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    What we went through last night and again tonight I think we all voiced our say on twins daily today ... Nothing more to repeat except Pablo pitched very well ... Would someone tell the players and coaches that it's not nap time ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    You betcha and your welcome , boy has last night twins / Rays game got the twins fans rattled , uncompetitive game against a good team we weren't even close ... Not even close as I'm shaking my head in disbelief that we are really this bad ... It's not tough being a twins fan , but It's tough to watch them , but I do ...

    Without leadership and ACCOUNTABILITY the twins will continue to fail , Rocco keeps saying the players have skills but continue to blunder and blunder every aspect of the game , running bases , cut off throws , wrong base , no hit and run , not many stolen bases and so on ... ROCCO , I know your listening and don't care what others are saying , but you got to keep reminding these players To play the game the right way , ROCCO ITS UP TO YOU TO SHOW US THAT THESE PLAYERS HAVE THE SKILLS YOU SAY THEY HAVE ... SINCE YOU LIKE PAPER MAYBE COMMUNICATE WITH A PERSONAL MEMO PRINTED OUT ON PAPER FOR EACH PLAYER TO READ OF WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO IMPROVE ON , or remind them that it's easy to get to the majors but harder to stay , you got to play the game hard like Buxton once did but it looks like that has been taken away from him and the FANS ...

    We got Raley in the dozier trade to dodgers and then traded him back with graterol to dodgers for maeda ... Raley might have had a cup of coffee with the dodgers Last year or two years ago too .

    Thank you Seth , I didn't know Sabato was getting injured that often , I do know he walks and crushes the ball , but is limited on defense ... Number 4 and 5 are the ones that are standing out the most ... Thanks again for the update and on the undrafted signed players , I guess not much there ..
  21. Blyleven2011
    Look at arraez's career stats ,,, I'm pretty sure he has 50 something walks with only 40 something strikeouts .... Arreaz is a major leaguer and won a batting title last season ... Only a hand full of players in the American league hit over 300 last year , 2 are gone that I know of , Arraez and Bogaerts , Judge was another one , he might win the triple crown this year with an average under 300 , that would be pathetic , what would be more pathetic is if Judge goes into the hall of fame with accolades of a triple crown and a average under 300 ... Baseball might just have to ammend it ruling and change it to a triple crown winner has to hit 300 ,,, Baseball sure has changed , good hitters hit and bad hitters need not apply ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    Very valid points , WHY WHY and WHY ... Why wasn't some of the coaches replaced after last season , because management's FO and Rocco's thinking was injuries ruined our 2022 season and their evaluation was wrong again ... Why are falvey and Levine in hiding when twins play poorly ??? Why hasn't the pohlads said enough is enough and this isn't the game of baseball that the fans want ???
  23. Blyleven2011
    I would agree with this evaluation ... Also will add , The twins win the terrible division with good pitching ( whoopi ) but lose in the playoffs ... Anal lit ics is killing the game of baseball ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    No Gallo or Buxton ...

    Garlick has done nothing for the twins this year and really hasn't torn the cover off the ball in AAA either ... Being called up because cleveland had a lefthander going last Saturday and they felt they needed another right-handed bat isn't putting the best team out there ... Wallner really has done well the past 2 weeks and he could be a DH , I don't like his defense yet but I like that arm ...
