    And today wasn't a good day for Larnach either , another one that hasn't quite got going is Miranda , his swing looks awful again , thought he was coming out of it ... On to Cleveland where we need to play better ball ,,, These 3 games with Chicago weren't very exciting ... Catchers beware , Cleveland leads the league in stolen bases ...

    Another botched opportunity , Jeffers thrown out at third and killed a rally ( on top of that Rocco challenged and lost another one ) , Rocco is not good on challenges this year ( 1 for 6 ) , and that botch lost our challenges for the whole game ... The twins continue to lose rallies by not executing , they are not managed properly by coaches to be called professionals , sure would have been nice to have our only exciting professional hitter ( arreaz ) up in that situation , OH that's right he was traded ... Are we missing the major leaguer ( arreaz ) yet , of course we are ...

    If he can pitch like Greg Maddux , who cares about velocity ... If his velocity isn't good he should start studying all of Maddux games pitched and maybe be a serviceable starter ...

    I hope he can prove everyone wrong and finally make the boy geniuses look like boy geniuses ... I guess Gallo is deserving as most of the hitters got off to a slow start ... Polanco should have been given an honorable mention since he sparked the lineup since arriving late due to rehab ...

    Let's not worry so much yet ... Let's Just enjoy the season of baseball ... It's a new year and anything can happen , I've already seen things I've never seen in baseball before ... I'm trying to be positive even though I dont like our managers style and bs on pre and post games ...

    Sadly we might even know after these two series with Chicago and Cleveland , if they can't play with a killer instinct and go out a beat these teams when there down ... Twins can't let these games slip away , they have to play every game and believe they can win them all ... Rocco always says there is another game tomorrow ,,, What's wrong with inspiring the players to go out and win a ten game winng streak ...
  7. Blyleven2011
    I think Rocco is managing the same way he did in 2019 when we had a juiced ball and we hit 307 homeruns to beat the Yankees in that department ( he's no earl weaver ) and yes the twins are not good at it in today's game ,,, Would love to see more doubles and singles and walks , more discipline and patience at the plate goes along way , cut down on the strikeouts cause it is a pathetic way to play baseball and a rally killer , just put the ball in play ... Also noted is Rocco can't seem to win in extra innings , just like he can't win in the playoffs , he doesn't change his style of managing when he needs to ...

    My eyes were telling me that Ryan was missing his location in the 6th inning and he had 90 pitches , I was okay with the move , I did think it was odd how Rocco used his bullpen when the score was close and a possible extra inning game was possible , why didn't he use Stewart first if he is going to use him in high leverage games ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    Opportunity , but a wasted opportunity , twins bat's do not come alive .... They did hit a solo homerun in. their 14th consecutive hame ... Interesting use of tonight's bullpen , I guess Rocco's gut didn't tell him that it was possible that we could play extra innings ...

    Plus he's left handed which I would love to have in the rotation to break the all righty rotation we have ... Pitching a lefthander in rotation would have the other teams having to make adjustments in there batting order ... Hope he can succeed ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    Time to strike is when the twins are hot and Chicago is not ... We need to lengthen our lead in the division over Chicago and Cleveland early and run away with the division and take advantage that they are not playing well or it might just be a disappointment ... The twins better show up to play with a killer instinct and win on the road ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    Hernandez is the worst ... I agree there are some pretty bad umpires and they should have an eye check everytime they call balls and strikes ... And I didn't mean for you to take it as it's OK, I just stated that he was consistent for both teams ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    I know the article is a week of baseball in review but I'm taking it as a 10 game review of the homestand ... It was a good winning homestand going 6-4 against the nationals , Yankees and royals ... We extended our lead of the division to 3 1/2 games ... The national's series wasn't good losing 2 out of three , had things been reversed and we had won the series it would have been a great homestand ... The twins have to take the bad teams seriously with a killer instinct and put them away , otherwise you will get beat , I keep preaching a killer instinct , keep your head in the game at all times , make adjustments in your at bat with runners in scoring position or with 2 strikes to make contact , to often the twins hitters fail and leave to many runners left on base by swinging at air ... Strikeouts drive me crazy ... Got to cut down on these Strikeouts cause they drive me crazy ... Did I say Strikeouts make me crazy ... A good winning month of baseball , now use that killer instinct and start running away with the division ... I would really like a 10 game plus winning streak to show me that we are legitimate ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    He seemed to be consistent for both sides though , he had a wide strike zone that is for sure ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    The twins prevailed and took the series ... Made it a winning home stand ... The royals did impress ( more than the current yankee roster ) with the fight to the end that they gave us , they have a few keepers on that team to keep building with ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    He does throw strikes but it is a SSS as a reliever here at MLB level ... Would be fine to keep him stretched out as a starter or a long relief guy ... I'm sure he would be grateful for whatever opportunities the twins would have for him ... Give him playing time at the MLB level for a complete analysis , not sure what he is in the long term but time will tell ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    This crossed my mind also , his mind was on immigration and not on pitching ( could be ) ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    Plus the players took the field but did not bring the killer instinct to play and put the royals away , lots of opportunities for the taking , the twins have only won 2 games scoring 4 runs or less ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    Sure is nice to have clutch hitting , 2 out three run homer by Polanco ... Great to have a healthy Polanco back and in the lineup , he has been the spark that ignited the other players as hitting is contagious ... Since activated a healthy Polanco has 9 rbi's , he has plenty left in the tank even though some have said he is past his prime ... We have been and are lucky to have him ( Polanco) playing for the twins ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    Not many switch hitters early ranked ,,, We need pitching and skenes is 6'6" and 235 lbs ... Draft the best of the best ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    Great enthusiastic write up ... we got to continue to beat the teams were suppose to Beat and not let up , good game 1 win ... Feel bad for mahle and his injured elbow but if the medical team is smart they should put him on the IL and bring up Ober and varland , maeda also is probably on IL ... No sense rushing him back with the ailment , radio was saying that his hid velocity was dropping , same thing thing happened last year , don't rush him back ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    We all expect a sweep but will we get it , if they have a killer instinct along with home field advantage we should get it .. If they don't take the royals seriously then we won't , we'll find out tonight !!!
  23. Blyleven2011
    Thank you , good memories !!!
  24. Blyleven2011
    I like the first sentence as a question ... Can the twins get another series win , and I like the answer even better ( they better ) ... Yes they better , no blaming the weather as temperatures are rising , now the batting averages should rise above the mendoza line , pathetic that Correa is batting 200 ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    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 ???
