    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 . ....

    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 ...

    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 ...

    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 ....
  7. Blyleven2011
    So Culpepper is a clone to Ryan ,,, If he's doing good at the Florida level , a promotion should be coming soon ...

    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 ...

    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 ...

    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 ...

    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 ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    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 ???
  21. Blyleven2011
    Well put ,,, it will be a lost season If they don't act fast ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    So true , I should have phrased it younger and whatever is left of the prospects in AAA or AA ...
  23. 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 ...
  25. 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 ...
