    That was along time ago but those were the days of good pitching and good hitting and alot of fight in the team to win ,,, How many walk off wins can you remember ???
  2. Blyleven2011
    Good question WHY !!! I am not a fan of Rocco and I truly believe he is not a manager that can win in the playoffs or world series ( regular season , YES , shorter series against better teams with better pitching , NO ) ...
  3. Blyleven2011
    They are going to keep doing what they are doing regardless of what the fans thinks ... Remember they think they are the smartest people in the room ( I cut them no slack ) ...

    It was kinda of an ugly lineup today , batting Kepler first and jeffers 3rd just doesn't do it for me ... Sitting Buxton and Polanco for the game when it should have been Correa ( slow start ) ... Got uglier when Rocco left maeda in to long ,,, nice the rookie headrick gave us 5 innings and Miranda's swing today was better ( hope he has made the right tweak to his swing ) ... We need Miranda's bat and Correa's too ...

    Besides good pitching , what was exciting to watch was the twins hit a handful of doubles ... The 2 run Homer's were nice too ... Also the great defensive play by Polanco was awesome ... I just might be on to something when i say Polanco for MVP ...

    My favorite pitch is strike three to the opposing hitter to end the game ... Twins win ...
  7. Blyleven2011
    This is the question ... How Rocco will use Stewart out of the bullpen ,,, Until the front office deals with the pagan situation , I'm not going to hold my breath on any of these added fringe players ... Get a long relief guy for a bullpen please ...
  8. Blyleven2011
    In addition , batting Kepler as lead off or hitting 4th or higher is not conducive to a winning team ... Also we will never win with the manager we have ... I hope I can be proved wrong ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    Give credit where credit is due ... Polanco has been a very good asset for the twins and will continue to do so , even if there are doubters out there , he should be fine barring injuries ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    I wish I could be impressed every game ... Pitching and patient hitting shined ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    All three of those twins pitchers in Boston were nibbling off the plate because they don't trust their stuff ,,, Pagan , Acala and Moran ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    Changing the rules and larger bases to create a faster more exciting game of baseball ... It's doesn't appear the twins have it in their vocabulary to manufacture runs , something I truly think keep sinking the twins , there are some games that could have been won with some emphasis on manufacturing a run ... This is not 2019 and the juiced ball , MLB could have brought back the juiced ball to create excitement in the game but they didn't because that would slow the game down ... Run , catch and throw the ball ... We need a better plan or we'll continually be behind the eight ball ... One last humble thought as harsh as it is , we will not win with this plan of the FO and with current manager ... The package must go ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    We'll probably see some of them as Allstars in the future ( at least the ones that are currently under contract or maybe a rejuvenated sano ) ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    What do the 3 relievers that pitched in today's loss have in common ??? They all are afraid to throw strikes , they nibble off the plate ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    Good analysis but doubtful Buxton is anything close to Sano ... It's a small sample size to 2023 season and something isn't clicking with Buxton and as some has stated it hasn't clicked since he tumbled ... Really we should be looking at the entire offense cause most of the offense isn't clicking ,,, I looked up total team stats this morning and if memory serves me right ... 175 strikeouts give or take ... Roughly 575 at bat's ... 120 hits give or take ... 20 homeruns ... 11 doubles ... ( really , this should be more than the homerun total ) 75 rbi's give or take ... Will the hitting heat up or will it have an explosive day and then a few mediocre days in a row ... Don't forget situational hitting as an accomplice , something the coaches don't seem to emphasize ... I'm not complaining yet about Buxton , I'm complaining on the entire offense ... 3 run Homer's are game changers ... Solo Homer's and strikeouts are not ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    The bat's put it away early and congrats to headrik on his debut ... Weather at home not looking to good , last week we were teased by mother nature and this week will have colder temperatures. ....
  17. Blyleven2011
    Lopez has looked very good and looks to be worth the investment ... We should be annalizing Lopez against berrios , he signed a 7 year contract extension and so far had a good second half in 2021 , a lousy 2022 and he is off to a poor start in 2023 all with Toronto ... Annalize that ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    Thanks Ted, I didn't know Polanco had been sent to the saints , he's getting closer and hope his bat heats up ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    My thoughts exactly is Kepler ... Time to move on and trade him or release ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    Learn something new everyday , thanks ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    Huge hits in Huge moments are what we need by everyone ( situational hitting ) its not that difficult to learn ... But it's grip it and rip it and usually ends in a strikeout , twins lead in strikeouts , offense has scored 63 runs for the season and the pitching has been winning the games , not the offense , except for a 11 to 2 romp over the Yankees ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    I agree , Pete and repete are not funny ... I didn't even think about an injury , I guess I missed his spill ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    Without reading any of the posts of the writer or members this is my thoughts ... Should we be concerned about Buxton , 10 strikeouts in last 12 at bat's ... Did playing Buxton through injuries change his swing last year and we know how his average dropped while playing injured last year ... Now he seems he isn't recognizing pitch selections ... Just my thoughts , GO BUCK Now I'll read the post and responses ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    Give it time , he will unimpress you , haha ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    Like his doubles capabilities better than someone trying to hit homeruns and strikes out ... He has shown he has been a good acquisition so far , though I questioned the signing at the time because of our infield prospect depth ... When Lewis gets back or maybe Lee makes his mlb debut he could be traded for some value ... Neto made his mlb debut for the angles , he was drafted number 13th in last year's draft , , first of the class of 2022 .... Will Lee be next ...
