    Nice article and I couldn't agree more that the leadership is lacking ,,, Last year when the twins were losing badly Falvey was never seen in an interview until the media called him out on it ,,, he never owned up to the responsibility of the twins play and let levine get the camera time with the media during the losing times in 2021 ... Now when the twins started winning in second half of 2021 and played better ball Falvey was back in the camera light , proud to be a representative of the twins, levine was never again interviewed ... Leadership does seem to be lacking along with their communications skills on eluding us ( the fans ) of their plan .... The plan , the plan , the plan .... Smiles everyone .... I noticed it hasn't gotten much better this year ....

    WHERE'S THE BENCH ??? Did anyone notice we had 3 pinch hitters and all 3 struck out ,,, pathetic that 1 pinch hitter couldn't put the ball in play ....
  3. Blyleven2011
    I'm not totally sure about this but it appears that the players may not like the style of baseball that Rocco plays and their enthusiasm is waning ( no spark in line up sucks , how many times have we been shutout ) ... I know I would not like playing for Rocco ...

    The first half or up to deadline of 2021 the twins were constantly blown out , they were not competitive games , they did start to play better the final 2 months that probably inflated the winning percentage ... In my eyes 2021 was the worst twins season of ball I have ever witnessed , even worse than the season we lost 103 games , there were alot of competitive games we lost that year .....
  5. Blyleven2011
    There better than the 2021 twins ....
  6. Blyleven2011
    Have the twins received value ... ALOT MORE THAN 2021 , and you know who they were .... The laughing squad of the dumpster diving ....
  7. Blyleven2011
    What a box score ,,, Muti hits by many batters and 1 homerun .... Gray was on even if it was the royals .... 8 more wins to go for a 10 game winning streak and get the division lead back and keep it ...
  8. Blyleven2011
    Roger said please let's have a winning streak and I concur ... The time is now ... no excuses ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    A blowout of 10 runs or more would be great ... A 10 game winning streak would be better ... Management hasn't shown me any indication that they have learned their lessons ... Thanks for your thoughts , This is my story and I'm sticking too it ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    It was a competitive win between the teams ... Some have said that the royals are a AAAA team , if so then that is what the twins are because they are the only teams the twins can beat .... Let's hope kepler gets on a streak and starts hitting ....
  11. Blyleven2011
    The suspense in winning is exciting .... The obvious in losing is not ... Throws hard but gets hit hard ,,, Time for him to go , he reminds me of Ron Davis ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    No more sano .... Pick up option ,,,, Gray is adequate and in the price range for a #2 starter , not sure I would extend him as he has injury issues and hasn't shown enough to me to extend him , he's had a steadycareer ... Bundy , first free agent pitcher the twins signed before the lock out and everyone was beside themselves and I was one of them ... Actually I have come to like Bundys bulldog composure , yes he doesn't throw above 90 but man the guy gives it everything he's got ... I don't think Bundy is worth 11 million , buy him out for 1 million and renegotiate a 5 million deal for depth , otherwise let him go ... Bye bye sano
  13. Blyleven2011
    I DITTO every word ....
  14. Blyleven2011
    I betcha kepler still likes the manager
  15. Blyleven2011
    I am not a person that likes excuses .... The twins had the depth to fill all the injuries up to the allstar game , but since they brought up certain personal that were playing very well in AAA the offense has really been flat .... Batting kepler fourth is a real head scratcher , he struck out twice on Sunday .... Todays lineup looked like a good one for the first time this year , batting Arraez, Correa ahead of Buxton ( which surprised me , I thought he would be resting on Sunday , looks like he be resting Monday to start the home series ) .... The twins are not hitting homeruns and the manager has not made any adjustments to this ( baseball is a game of inches and adjustments ) , his plan and FO is not working and I think the players are getting frustrated with the plan and its effecting their play , if Correa opts out I wouldn't be surprised someday that Correa speaks out about the twins plan .... Whatever happened to the twins way when they clobbered their opponents with better competive games .... We need a fix that the FO and manager don't see or they just won't deviate from it
  16. Blyleven2011
    The angels walk off win Saturday has deflated the twins .... The twins were strong in the second half last season but this season in the second half they have started off poorly and with additions at the deadline to help .... I sure hope the twins are not starting deflategate ....
  17. Blyleven2011
    If I was the owner , I would be questioning the leadership of this front office and manager , especially with the deadline trades of additions ( which has strengthened the bullpen ) ... Coaching has to change and we know who they are , if no changes, the front office is in jeopardy of losing their jobs of running operations at the end of 2023
  18. Blyleven2011
    It was a very discouraging loss ... There goes my 10 game winning streak they needed and I wanted ... As a passionate fan my enthusiasm is waning .... No killer instinct in the players approach to hitting , no motivation from the manager to fire up the team ,,, if the plan isn't working it is time to change the plan ... As the game was getting late and we had a 3-0 lead I was thinking of the three consecutive shutouts the twins pitched against Kansas city in 2004 , ( radke , lohse and Santana ) , I was getting excited about another possible consecutive shutout of course with multiple pitchers , bundy should have been allowed to pitch further into the game ,,, he bulldogged .... What Rocco's spread sheet don't tell him is , the more pitchers you have pitch in the game , the more likely one or more are going to have a bad night pitching ... Tough loss , a really tough loss
  19. Blyleven2011
    I'm not sure about jeffers ,,, I like the defense of Leon ,,, I'll take a good blocker first over a good pitch framer ,,,,, I'm tired of seeing passed balls and wild pitches and than the runner scores from third , to much of that happening in the league these days ,,, Block the ball ,,,, Ferguson Jenkins threw the first pitch of field of dreams game to Johnny bench , he bounced the pitch and Johnny did not bobble it ,,,, classic moment ....
  20. Blyleven2011
    You took the words right out of my mouth ... It was pleasant to watch the twins win to start our ten game winning streak .... Go twins , don't let the twins fans down ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    Nice to see varland dominate in AAA , probably a September call up if he continues to pitch well and gets acclimated to AAA ....
  22. Blyleven2011
    Sure would be nice to have some consistency and a 10 game winning streak would give the players and fans momentum to finish the season .... I don't really care if they make the playoffs but do hope they win the division because in 2021 we were last and this year we could finish first ,,, they have played better than my expectations in 2022 but the great start to season has given it a mirage like look ....
  23. Blyleven2011
    What am I excited about watching ,,, Watching twins win exciting baseball games by dominating ... Arraez winning a batting title ... Some killer instinct would help and the players should have a team meeting to get fired up for the next 52 games .... What I'm not excited about is watching kepler batting fourth , love his defense but the offense is atrocious ,,, he started the season hitting to all fields and now is pull happy again .... I have been excited with the 2022 twins but haven't been excited with the FO the managers plan ... The plan, the plan , the plan .. Smiles everyone
  24. Blyleven2011
    Winning series are nice and maybe you are that person that thinks that is all the matters .... It does matter but are they really that exciting , baseball should be exciting and A long winning streak will generate alot of excitement about the team and what they might be capable of,,,, it should raise your hope in the team and players that they can contend and not just be competitive ( favley says competitive ,, I say contender )... A long winning streak or muti winning streak tells a fan and not just a twins fan but of mlb teams , what the team is made of , ( you have to do everything right and have just alittle luck to keep the winning streak going , you need discipline , fundamentals , and good coaching, ) .,, those that usually do are contenders and win a division ,, I have seen many teams with multiple winning streaks of ten games or more this year and most of those teams are leading there divisions except for Atlanta , Baltimore and Seattle... You don't have to agree with this and that's OK ,,, I watch the twins or listen on the radio and don't miss many games unless out of the country , but I also tune into other games played and watch the standings .... what's the longest winning streak in our central division , twins have 1 small 7 game winning streak ,,, What do the others have ( Chicago , Cleveland, Detroit or Kansas city ) ??? ,,, Look at the win / loss in the central , its the worst , twins were the last leader at the time to get to 50 wins this year , my thought was pathetic , even Milwaukee beat us to their 50th win in their central .... I live for spring training and the world series and everything in-between ....
  25. Blyleven2011
    All Contenders have multiple winning streaks and I'm a believer in winning streaks , Twins need a winning streak and it needs to start RIGHT NOW with the angels .... Twins had a winning streak in early part of the season , WHAT HAPPENED .... players meeting is needed ,,, not a managers meeting that's for sure ( incapable to motivate ) ...
