    Major leaguer ( arraez ) is definitely a major league allstar player ,,, Great bat ( bats like gwynn and hits like carew ) and hits do matter as he is more than just a good hitter he is our spark plug that creates excitement in the game .... Congratulations # 2 Luis arraez , now go knock on the front office door and ask for an extension .... I became a switch hitter because Tony O was my favorite player , I was pretty bad when I first started hitting left handed but overtime I had a decent swing , I loved every lefthanded hit because of Tony O , Major leaguer ( ARRAEZ ) is my favorite twins player to watch since he became a major leaguer ,

    Suffering through the losses , and celebrating the wins , hopefully the twins can win the last game of the season ... Go Louie varland and make minnesota proud ....

    By so many responses in a 24 hour period , it is clear what the twins fan base thinks of Rocco ... Don't forget the plan the FO has orchestrated , I hope they stay away from the dumpster diving .... Average pitching can make you competitors during the seasons but not contenders in post season ... Their plan has to change,,, Quality pitching wins games ...

    It's called work for a reason , it's a difficult position but it should be an easy decision on what players are here to stay and who should be left off the 40 man roster ... Do I have faith in the FO and Rocco to make those right decisions , NO ... As always we will like what the FO does or not like what the FO does ... I sure hope its not a long frustrating off season ....
  5. Blyleven2011
    To many injuries , some mysterious and some not ... FO will never take responsibility for the poor season just like our politicians in government ...
  6. Blyleven2011
    3 more games left for the twins , I will have withdrawals until spring training ... Maybe during the playoffs Rocco can be an armchair manager and learn something of the game that might get us a win next season ... That's my closing statement and I'm sticking to it ... I live for opening day and the world series and everything in-between ..
  7. Blyleven2011
    You forgot the plan was bad too ... I don't think they really had a plan , Rocco didn't have them playing like they had a plan ...
  8. Blyleven2011
    Great move FO , what took so long ... Congratulations and good luck in the majors SWR ...

    One can only guess why bundy is pitching ... Guess would be that the FO will proudly claim they had starters that pitched near 150 innings ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    One can only hope ,,, He's got electric stuff according to Rocco . but doesn't know how to pitch effectively in my eyes ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    I forgive Gordon for his error , but don't fricken ever do it again ... Tough loss
  12. Blyleven2011
    Is wallner ahead of kiriloff and larnach ... The only thing right now that Wallner is ahead of is his exist velocity , man does he swing hard ... He will start the season at AAA in 2023 , unless the are casualties in spring training that are still injured and can't go ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    I would sign him too , have Iiked what he brought to the table .... Unfortunately I don't think he will be retained with all the other options to fill the position ... Would be pleasantly surprised if they did keep him ...

    We still have the AFL to report on our twins prospects ....
  15. Blyleven2011
    Get rid of the baby powder blue and bring back the pin stripes please ....
  16. Blyleven2011
    It helps to vent ...

    We have been there and done that ... Number 3 should be coaches and Number 4 should be all the top professionals FO hired for all the positions in the system ... This hasn't been a catastrophe like 2021 but it is showing the ineptitude that they can't contend , compete yes , maybe ... Contend is the key word and is what every diehard twins fans wants ... They are not taking the right avenue to tap into the players talent by resting , though you would think it would help some .... Injuries are not the big excuse , they are professionals players or they wouldn't be in the show ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    He has come as advertised , bat first , not a good defender ... Now it's up to coaching to make him better defensively ..
  19. Blyleven2011
    I know this is harsh and has been repeated quite often since 2021 but it holds truth .... Total system failure , FO's top professionals at every positions in the system has failed , not the twins players ... The players are following a plan orchestrated by the FO that isn't working and is diminishing their players skills ... And that is the core of it ...

    Yes keplers decline since 2019 has been disappointing , he's had some highlights against Cleveland pitcher bauer .... Hard to replace his defense , I like it ... Would have been nice to have kepler keep hitting to the opposite field for a better contribution to the team , he started to and then reverted back to his old ways pulling the ball , almost like someone told him he wasn't getting paid to hit to the opposite field ... The game is all about adjustments but maybe the FO’s plan doesn't call for adjustments or the twins players are not the most educated on the fundamentals ... Sano flopped going for a new contract , he'll get a minor league contract by someone , maybe even by the twins , they did that with cave last year ... Hopefully kepler plays hard in his final controlled year for a better contract or even raise his trade value ... There is a buy out at the end of 2023 and a club option for 2024 so if he has value and is traded the club won't have to pay the buy out ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    Pretty hard to replace his defense ... We have depth but it's unproven or always injured , have to concur he stays until someone takes away his position , we let Rosario go thinking we had replacements in left field, leftfield has been a mess since , mostly due to injuries ,,, really though Rosario wasn't the best fielder either so leftfield has been a position of need for a Ling time ... Keplers defense in rightfield is the best since Oliva , cuddyer was almost as good defensively but hit better ... Who changed keplers plan to hit to the opposite field , he was working on it earlier in the season and it was encouraging but he reverted back to pulling the ball ,,, Did someone tell him we're not paying you to hit to the opposite field !!!!
  22. Blyleven2011
    It would be nice if Wichita wins the series ,,, if would help ease the pain of the twins September alittle bit ...

    The walking dead ... Minnesota twins ... Minnesota twinkies .... How about the Minnesota possums , they play dead at home and then get killed on the road ... I do love my twins baseball ....

    Sarcasm chief ??? ...

    The front office has not shown me that they know when to hold them or know when to fold them ... Yes they have tried to build a winner and have held on to players and prospects , they have never been known when to trade a player at their highest value ,,, kepler for example who i love his defense but his hitting is as bad as a second string catcher had extreme value but fo thought he was part of the future because they are trying to build a winning team , he had bad averages before 2019 and then a career year ( heck they all had career years but the fo didn't recognize it and held on to players that were likely to underachieve the following year rather than trading at their highest value ) ... Berrios maybe was traded at his highest value but the jury is out on the return ... This front office now has to prove to me at least that it can recognize a players talent and if they are part of the future and keep them,,, if not trade them at their highest values ... For those that like analytics , great ... For those that Don't like analytics , great ... For those that would like to see small ball fundamentals with analytics you are great too .. Mix it up and add some excitement because it has turned into a boring game the fo has put on the field ...
