  1. Looks like Cleveland for laureano .... missed it by thhhhhhhat much .... I think he would have been a better choice over Luplow , plays defense well with a good arm , injuries and suspension has hurt him for regular playing time ....
  2. What concerns me is that Rocco and medical team had no idea Ryan was playing through a groin strain ... Yes it players responsibility to report even minor bumps and bruises , but management should also be watching players perform ... Maybe it time to start giving penalties to unreported injuries , baserunning blunders , called third strikes , etc. .... We had a good week , better than expected ... What's our record against national league teams ???
  3. Yes this is Gallo's last stand for a major league contract .... ( see sano ) Gallo will be lucky to get a minor league offer next off season and maybe just maybe Japan would likely pass on him to , ( see Sano) ... I'm sure Gallo's salary was higher in 2022 with Yankees and dodgers than the 11 million we signed him for ... Twins have always seemed to over pay for reclamation projects with mlb deals , when a minor league contract would have gotten it done ..., Robles also comes to mind and there have been others in recent past with this FO ....
  4. If kuechel shined yesterday is was the only shine we had yesterday , the sunshine was missing .... Kuechel kept us in the game but he worked 5 nervous innings , Arizona hit some balls hard and some balls soft for infield and blooper hits ... It was a team effort and Kuechel has earned another start ....
  5. There it is , a bunch of hits , a clutch hit at that
  6. Kuechel has kept us in this game for five innings , floro made the sixth interesting ... Now its time for our hitters to put the ball in play and bunch a few hits together and score some runs ......
  7. Trust them ??? It should be are they really leaders of the team ... Leaders lead by not going the long way around the barn , be straight forward on their definitions to the players and fans , if they continue to confuse the fans and media with their comments then what are they telling the players ... Them telling us one thing and then they do something different is not a good leader ...
  8. Nice varland had a outing that he didn't allow a Home .... Prato is hitting , but no room on roster ... Nice to see the top prospects of this years draft doing well ...
  9. Tonight's game is what we have been expecting all season from the team ... Hope there are more games like this to come ... Can you believe it , 4 players got 3 hits each ... Can you believe it , Gallo struck out 3 times , yes you can ....
  10. A game like tonight is what we Twins fans have been waiting to see consistently ... Let's hope there's more of these game's ...
  11. I sure hope hitting is contagious and carries over for tomorrow's game ... Good pitcher going for Arizona tomorrow in Galvin ...
  12. We'll never know the real story ,that's just the way the FO operates ... Never a truthful statement to the fans , always leave them guessing ... If the Twins are like the 2022 white Sox that didn't upgrade at the deadline , than maybe we should definitely expect twiins payroll to be less next year ... And St Peter's statement last year , wondering why attendence is down , is he lost in the world of delusion ... I'd love to sit in on discussions and see how they operate , if it's like our government officials ( and i have sat in on those discussions ) then we are in for years of Hurt ...
  13. I was at the game tonight and came down to watch my veteran neighbor,raise the flag during national anthem .... The twins players had some fireworks , 3 solo Homer's were just enough to pull this game out ... The game was relaxing but dragged so it seems , again to many strikeouts and to many runners left on base , got to have some clutch hitting , bases loaded and 2 outs and Castro strikes out for 3rd out , same old stuff different day .... Fireworks after the game were good but the Twins managing a win was better ...
  14. I usually don't follow the lead but I'll go along with why just 5 , we have 26 players on the roster and it should be a team effort ,,, they aren't playing in harmony ... You would think they couldn't get any worse but nothing really supports them getting any better , 52 games left , first 110 games and alot of the games were hard to watch ....
  15. Bartolo Colon was very entertaining on the mound , probably off the field as well ... I remember his facial expressions everytime he got the ball back to pitch , he'd walk a circle , look up and roll his eyes some and was probably saying ... I'm 44 years old and can't believe I'm still pitching in the major leagues ... He was big sexy and added a spice of life to the Twins that year ...
  16. It should be Pedro Lopez pitching on Sunday , I believe we traded Jorge Lopez .... Nice series win , Sonny got run support for the W ...
  17. Well said , Terry Ryan was a class act and intelligent baseball man and I too had respect for him ... Remember he turned down the Toronto job for a bigger pay day to stay with the team .... I'm sure the current FO office is smart also but not in the same way ...
  18. Good thought for a good guy but I wouldn't want to take anymore at bats away from our younger guys ... Let our future show us they belong ....
  19. I once said the same thing about berrios one year that he was wearing down and needed rest , but we didn't have the luxury in starters like we do now ... They give Buxton and Correa days off , no reason not to give a pitcher some rest too ...
  20. 17 twist is a lot in a short period of time , something had to give , a stiff neck would sound more logical though ...
  21. I was thinking the same thing but didn't have proof ... Great minds think alike ...
