    Wallner noted : Keep working on his hitting approach , not one mention improving his defense, which needs improvement ... Congratulations to wallner for his September call up and hope it continues ...

    Good luck to Mr hustle ( cave ) in Baltimore , they presently had room on their 40 man roster but could easily be dfa'd later ... Wish him well ...

    Way to go flash Gordon ... You were fun to watch and I believe you could be an ignitor at the top of the batter order ... Batting lead off with arraez to follow ... Twins did it with tovar leading off and carew to follow , many runs were scored by that duo ...

    My choice would have been in the same order ... Duran had a remarkable season as a shut down bullpen option ... Miranda was clutch and led team in RBI's ,,,, Ryan led the rotation in wins ... Off the topic alittle bit here... RBI's matter , runs matter , hitting in clutch situations matters , where are our clutch hitters , when was the last time we had a player have a 100 rbis or a 100 runs scored for the season ,,, The spreadsheet isn't exactly working the way they WANT it to work , Need to mix in old school baseball with new school baseball , these players are professionals and should adapt to that plan ... not until we have a 100 rbi player or a player score a 100 runs per season will we contend ,,, We will only compete ... Bring back the fundamentals of the game , stealing bases , occasionally a bunt when need , hit and run , hit behind the runner and move them up a base , hit to opposite field ( spread the ball around ) , take a walk and make the pitcher work ( works for the dreadful yankees ) , be selective and patient and hit your pitch and not a pitchers pitch and cut down on the strikeouts ... we SHOULD see our players cut down on strikeouts every year as they get more experience with bat control ... teach this to the players and tell them that is what you want from them .... That my plan and I'm sticking to it ....

    At least we won the last game of the year and didn't go in as loser ... You and I know who should be taken off the 40 man roster , I'm sure we will see surprises though ... I sure hope the FO took the course of how to build a roster with talent after all the mistakes they have made for the past 2 seasons ... I hope they come up with a better plan ...
  7. Blyleven2011
    Hopefully the FO will be able to determine what a really good pitcher is ...

    A 15 inning 1-0 win was an exciting and suspenseful playoff game , Cleveland won the series 2 games to none and moves on ... no

    If you want fans back in the stands you sign judge , 45 million per season for 3 years with opt out after each year ... NOT A CHANCE ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    the twins FO should always be looking to upgrade .... Garlick has served his purpose but hasn't stayed healthy enough to stay on the field ... Finding a healthy righthanded hitting outfielder with alittle pop shouldn't be to difficult to find for depth ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    Couldn't agree more on the yips ,,, It's a mental and physical game and the mental approach doesn't seem to be working .. And it starts with the manager and coaches ...

    What has been some of your other favorite moments from Luis Arraez’s league-leading season ... Why does everyone avoid the question asked ... My favorite moments of arraez is him in the lineup everyday working the count , also he adapted to a firstbase position and did a admirable job ... Give credit where credit is due .... Now everyone posting wants to trade him again this off season , RIDICULOUS , it's not an option ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    There is talent listed in all of the players listed ... Duran was poised and good .... Varland solid in his starts , poised against yankees in yankee stadium ... Ober strong to finish the season ... Moran solid but alittle erratic in control ... SWR 1 start , to early to evalute his major league career ... Winder , Sands and henrique might be suited for the pen , winder had some solid starts before arm injury and would be an option in long relief ( 2 innings or more ) ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    What totally lost me towards the front office was in 2021 when we were losing and losing badly and alot , Falvey was in hiding and not speaking to the media .. He sent levine in front of the cameras until the twins suddenly started playing better ball in August and September and Falvey was back in front of the cameras ... Falvey takes no responsibility for losing but wants all the glory for winning ... That's my story and I'm sticking to it ...

    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 ....
  17. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    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 ....
  19. Blyleven2011
    To many injuries , some mysterious and some not ... FO will never take responsibility for the poor season just like our politicians in government ...
  20. 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 ..
  21. 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 ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    Great move FO , what took so long ... Congratulations and good luck in the majors SWR ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    One can only hope ,,, He's got electric stuff according to Rocco . but doesn't know how to pitch effectively in my eyes ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    I forgive Gordon for his error , but don't fricken ever do it again ... Tough loss
