  1. It would be nice if Wichita wins the series ,,, if would help ease the pain of the twins September alittle bit ...
  2. 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 ....
  3. 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 ...
  4. FO can be blamed for roster and the plan ,,, I like the logic on luck being a preparation ,,, Ownership doing anything to step in I don't know , has media done any interviews with JP lately to know his thoughts on 2022 ...
  5. The good , FIRST HALF .. the bad , SECOND HALF ... the ugly , GAME FUNDELMENTALS ... that's my story and I'm sticking to it ...
  6. Went to the game last night and noticed Correa got thrown out twice at first base ,,, Seemed like he wasn't running at full speed , he might of injured his ankle or a leg problem the other day in the game after all ... I thought he should of beat tge throws both times if running at full speed ... Has anything been mentioned that he tweaked something ???
  7. He is an ex twin , how can he stay healthy and keep on playing ... Must be taking lessons from the energizer bunny ...
  8. It's pretty sad now that we have only 2 players that are hitting in September , Gordon and the rested Correa ... It was a winnable game had they hit it were they ain't ... It was a winnable game and Rocco brought in pagan who did manage for once to keep the score the same ... It's tough to watch the twins and the plan ... looking forward to watching the better teams in the playoffs play better fundamentally baseball ...
  9. He was productive in the outfield , hit 28 homeruns but no doubles or RBI's ... I have to commend him for playing all those games injured , it did disrupt his hitting most definitely ...
  10. It's definitely looking like baseball is definitely a business and not a game ,,, Sanchez has done good and pagan has not but since pagan has control the FO thinks it can turn him around nrxt year and trying awful hard not to eat crow on that trade , pagan has now had 4 awful seasons since his best one , can't figure out why pagan wasn't dfa'd cause all he is is another Ron Davis , good stuff but gets hit hard ...
  11. arraez , though he is playing injured and that is easy to tell , base running , hitting , he is grimacing when he swings , left hamstring and maybe knees too have led to his downfall but he is still out there playing and giving it all he's got while injured ... Arreaz still gave us plenty of exciting baseball before the allstar break , also I have seen lots of players in the years that go to allstar game and then have poorer numbers in second half , why is that , pressure , injuries , homerun derby really messes up a hitters swing ...
  12. Congratulations to varland as pitcher of the year and Wallner as hitter of the year for the minor leagues ... Would love for these fellow minnesotans to lead this twins team to a world series .... Go twins and go varland and wallner , your time has come , take it and work hard ...
  13. Congratulations to Wallner for minor leagues hitter of the year ... If STEER or CES hadn't been traded I don't think it would have been unanimous ....
  14. The players have talent to get to the show and once there it is the responsibility of the manager and coaches to tap into that talent and make them a better talent . I just don't see that happening ... I also don't understand why the minor leaguers are not taught the fundamentals of the game before they get to the show , it's an embarrassment on the coaching there as well ... But in falvey's words we have hired the top professionals in the industry at every level and position in the system , what a crock ...
  15. Ditto
  16. If your talking about Trevor May he did start his big league Career as a starter , maybe a handful then tjs and came back as a reliever ...
  17. Most upsetting development of the farm system was trading away the prospects at the deadline for mediocrity and injured pitchers ...
  18. Another dull game but did enjoy all the camera shots on the dogs
  19. I have noticed that too , they let Rosario go and left field has been a revolving door since , they traded Rogers and got nothing to help this year to replace him , traded pressley and now after years in the minors have have some return , same thing with Escobar , I'm sure there are more , Berrios trade we are still waiting for the return replacing him ...
  20. The plan is the problem through the entire system , and who is in charge of the system ,,, Need I say more , falvey hired all top professionals to replace every top position from Ryan's regime , his words not mine .... And Wes Johnson left during the middle of the season which I thought was lame but might say something of the plan he didn't like ,,, He should have finished out the season in my opinion ...
  21. I'm still sticking with my prediction of a month ago that sonny gray will demand a trade this off season ... I would not play for this manager and the plan ...
  22. I would invest in rodon as he is a needed left handed starter the rotation needs , did he land on the IL list this year with San Francisco ???
