    I agree , but nick did write a very good season article , even if it is the death spiral ... I was encouraged by it , but I don't think we have a prayer ....
  2. Blyleven2011
    one thing I have noticed lately on the game day threads ... The number of comments is below 150 ,,, is that because it is football season or because the twins are playing awful baseball ...

    I wanted a 10 game winning streak , not a 10 game losing streak ... As mentioned by some above posts , we will not win with our coaching and the FO , They have no plan B to go to , they trust in plan A and continue to follow plan A day to day and continue to fail ... I batting order right now should be ... Arraez ... Gordon ... Miranda.... And our hot hitter at the moment , Correa ... Urshela ... Fill in the blanks for the remainder of the lineup and keep who is injured out of the game ..

    Once they reach the major leagues they are all professionals no matter what their prospect ratings are ... It's a physical and mental game ... They can't win because the team does not play baseball fundamentals .....

    I'm done thinking we will win 10 games in arow ... Go twins
  6. Blyleven2011
    We are now in third place and now we have 2 teams to beat for the division ... we have never been in third place since we led the division most of the season ... This team reminds me of the loveable losers ( cubbies )
  7. Blyleven2011
    If I am surprised at the end of the season so be it ... I personally think we have no chance .... Couldn't beat , Chicago , Couldn't split with yankees and now we can't beat Cleveland .... You have to win some games to have hope and we haven't won enough games....
  8. Blyleven2011
    Lots of if's , if's and if's.... Start with FO and manager , they are not leaders in the game as they try to mimic moneyball .... They may like their style of play but the fans sure don't ...

    It was a good fight but over in the first round .... got to win the next 2 games to stay in the ugly central race ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    The last two innings were interesting ;ut a win is a win ...

    Right now Joe Ryan is Joe Ryan ... He has done well at staying off the injured list so he is durable .... His fastball is deceptive and his secondary pitches a work in progress ... He's had ups and downs since his debut .... If he is a hard worker he should improve and after 3 years of evaluating him , we will know exactly what he will be ... I like him on the mound and won't rate him until I know what his real capabilities are in the next few years, people are to fast to judge someone as a savior ( Scott diamond comes to mind ) look forward to him having another good year next season ....
  12. Blyleven2011
    It would have been great to see him pitch again and I'm sure we will ... BUT ... The front office blundered and thought a 29th player could be added to the 28 man roster , tgey were informed that Varland had to get sent back down to AAA ... Davis was dfa'd and Cole sands activated ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    Though I agree with what you wrote about varland let's not get ahead if ourselves ... Varland has been nothing but consistent through the minor leagues and I did expect varland to do well and he did ... Really you need 3 years to evaluate what a player will be , there have been some exceptions .. Give credit where credit is due ... Varland deserves another start
  14. Blyleven2011
    I like the defense of Leon better than Sanchez and jeffers ... He blocks better and that is what is lacking in major league catchers ... To many passed balls or wild pitches as there scored tend to lead to runners scoring from third base ... I want defense , Average is a plus
  15. Blyleven2011
    So what's your point , it was still great baseball ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    I DITTO this ....
  17. Blyleven2011
    Lots of possibilities for disappointment ... Did everyone forget about duffey ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    His composure for sure ,,, we know how consistance he has been in the minors , Hope he doesn't get rattled like Rocco does ....
  19. Blyleven2011
    I'm going to have to go with bundy as the most under rated twin ... Why ? He wasn't on the twins roster last year and he signed as a free agent before the lockout ... Twins fans were furious and thought bundy was another shoemaker ,) my self included ) ... Nobody wanted him on twins daily ... that is being under rated in my opinion .... He actually has given us more than anyone thought ... I like his bulldogness
  20. Blyleven2011
    I'm glad he's here and he does well ... Yankee fans are hard on the visiting team so he better clear the mechanism ... It does seem like he moved through the system fast , only time will tell ... Go get them dam Yankees Louie
  21. Blyleven2011
    Since it wasn't a save situation , Rocco made an in game decision for the first time that I have noticed and brought in theilbar ... saving Lopez to pitch against the yankees ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    I'll bet he wishes he was still in Baltimore ....
  23. Blyleven2011
    Sounds about right , only thing other is division winner will have a sub 500 record ,,, there all playing bad baseball ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    Give credit where credit is due and varland has worked hard and has been better than consistent in the minors leagues and knocking on the door to the majors ... Where ever he pitches , as a starter or a relief pitcher his reward is performing in the majors and hungry to win a world series for his home state ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    It's a long season and no player is 100% this time of year ... I'm not concerned about major leaguer ( arraez ) , he's still a spark in the lineup .... It could be the allstar jinx some players get ...
