    Ryan was a class act , he stayed when contractions were being discussed and he could have gone to Toronto who did offer him the same position fir the blue jays .... And he was a good judge of talent , he worked harder than any GM that I know of , he was always scouting the minor league games looking for talent .... Is he still with Philadelphia Phillies , they hired him in 2021 ????
  2. Blyleven2011
    Yes it is and I like it , shouldn't have put it that way ,,,, his composure got flustered last night with balls and strikes and you can't win many games that way ...

    On May 3rd , Ryan wasn't as smooth in his start of just under 5 innings , but on May 10th he was way off the mark and got flustered more when a few calls weren't called strikes .. Hopefully it is a lesson we'll learned , seems to me that he thinks he should win every game ,

    Glad we are winning but this series with Houston will be a test , good pitching and hitting Next series could be alittle easier Cleveland has good pitching , have heard there hitters are warming up . Go twins

    If pagan would have blown a couple of those saves and lost it would have reminded me of RD ( RON DAVIS ) ,,, Man was I on the edge of seat

    I do see a Better vibe or chemistry with the players , was donaldson a prima Donna , of course he was , did that reflect towards a negative clubhouse , baldelli says no

    Is the twins rotation for real is the question !!!! All depends your definition of real , Are they good or are they bad ? ,,, So far the starting pitching has been decent with the exception of a few starts , Will it continue ? , it will have its ups and downs just like any teams pitching staff .... Does it have what it takes to win during the season ( better than last year's odds ) The real question though is Does it have what it takes to win once we get to the playoffs ?

    I texted my friends that didn't see the same thing ,They missed a 30 million dollar catch ,,, of course the can see it later in highlights ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    No concerns at firstbase , Arreaz and miranda for now ,,, see how it goes ... Like most , catcher is not a strength ... keep the ball in front of you boys , block it , smother it , whatever you have to do Last year's catching even wasn't that good as there was alot of wild pitches and passed balls ,,, alot of those wild pitches should have been call passed balls In my opinion but with a runner moving up a base they called it a wild pitch ... Catching is a problem for most teams in the league as to many wild pitches or passed balls probably led to a record of runners scoring from third base ....

    Only west and east coast teams get the recognition ( bigger markets) .... This is minnesota and not a privilege to live here ... Get use to it
  11. Blyleven2011
    All good questions , I don't think they would use him back to back days because of the lack of innings pitched since 2019 .... 2 inning saves would be alright if they don't use him back to back ..... If he holds out with no injury as the closer , and produces quality results , the front office would be smart to stick with him as closer .... Bullpens are what wins most games ( yes there are some stud starters ) and Duran solidifies almost a qauranteed victory in the ninth inning .... I know I'm getting ahead of myself a bit but that was a very impressive save last night ,,, best in many years as a twin
  12. Blyleven2011
    Game ball goes to Correa's defense , some exceptional plays made ... and to Duran closing it out 1 , 2 , 3 , in a pressure situation ,,,, this is who we need to be competitive ,, we have never had a closer with this kind of stuff .... Graturol might have been but got traded
  13. Blyleven2011
    They used Duran in the closer role in 2 to 1 victory over Baltimore ... Outstanding 1 , 2 , 3 inning , no edge of your seat performance , he was poised and looked like he was relishing in that role .... He's got the right stuff for closer ... I guess someone in front office might read twins daily
  14. Blyleven2011
    I'll get the ball rolling ... Royce Lewis certainly would be my choice but he needs to establish his game before a promotion ... I wish they would play him in the outfield like he did in the AZL league which he won mvp of the fall league in 2019 .... He's athletic enough and might find an earlier opening in the outfield if Correa stsys
  15. Blyleven2011
    We are still out here ,,, What really bothers me about them is they don't connect with the fans and tell us the plan ,,,, In interviews they stray from answering the questions honestly and last season during the worst season of twins baseball they could hardly be seen giving interviews during the first half , but in the second half they were back in front of the cameras Be Essing their way through the season when twins were playing better ball .... Just wanted to let you know that we are still here and give my thoughts and not an argument
  16. Blyleven2011
    Remember the last pitcher that threw over 100 in 2019 as a reliever , the FO traded for a starting pitcher the next off season .... Sure hope they aren't show casings him and follow a pattern this off season and trade him cause he has been fun to watch in the bullpen and should be given the opportunity to close ... Rookie or not , closer role is his to lose and I don't think we would be sitting on the edge our seats as he closes , unlike with the other options we have ..... Alot of clubs like hard throwers and have given many rookies a closer role and found success .... We need to take a chance if we are competitors FO .... I don't need to name any of the players written above , you should all know who I am talking about , Now only if the FO and manager would read twins daily
  17. Blyleven2011
    Are these the real twins or is it a mirage ,,, outstanding series against Tampa all a round , defense and offense ,,, winder 6 innings all only 2 hits ,,,, great job prospect
  18. Blyleven2011
    If the FO office and coaches have found and tweaked his mechanics to better him , it's all great but it's to small of a sample size to know what kind of a pitcher he really is going to be ,,, rookie year was good , next 2 seasons not so good ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    I'm not ready to cut sano any slack , He has no concentration in the game , takes 3 pitches for strikes without swinging , oh my , he can't identify the pitches , maybe .... Baserunning there was no need for sano to run to second because his run didn't matter, what mattered was the 2 runners ahead of him scoring the tying and winning run , Not sure why larnach held at third but ursela should have easily been on third if larnach came to score the tying run on sano error / hit .... The twins do need to practice Baserunning and keep there minds on the game and ball ... Just the facts ,
  20. Blyleven2011
    I definitely concur with this , Todays businesses never give you your money's worth ....
  21. Blyleven2011
    IRyan looks like he is headed for the all star game ,,,, like watching him , fast pace and good results ..... Remember sports fan you heard it here first , Joe Ryan to the all star game
  22. Blyleven2011
    I like your optimism that sano outlook is sky high ,,, With few comments already posted you are the minority for cutting sano any slack ... Sano is completely lost as a batter , base runner and a fielder ... not to mention confidence .... His concentration on the game sucks ,,, plain and simple .... When they get paid the kind of money they do there is no cutting them any slack because they are suppose to be professionals that are playing a kids game .... Baseball is hard , round ball hit by a round bat , but the rules of the game are simple , execute , execute and execute , adjustments , adjustments and adjustments
  23. Blyleven2011
    They key for the twins would be to hit the left handed starters and Pineda ( Mr consistance ) start against the twins is going to be interesting .... hit hit hit , score score score that's the key ..... our starting pitching needs to keep pitching like they have been doing and keep us in the game Detroits key is to keep Buxton and arreaz off the bases and not allow Correa to start a hot streak
  24. Blyleven2011
    I'm glad you pretty. Much stuck with naming mostly our prospects . Please stay away from the dumpster diving of the past ,,,, We have pitching prospects it'd be nice to use them from AA to AAA .... shouldn't take this long to coach the college players to the major leagues ... Oh that's right , FO hired all the top professionals in the industry to make us winners

    Heroics ... Buxtons walk off homer to sweep the series with white Sox was amazing and a team momentum changer ..... Personally with 1 out and runners on 2nd and 3rd and Buxton batting with a open 1st base ,,, larussa should have walked Buxton because his run didn't matter and it set up a force out or possible double play .... Larussa got beat by Buxton , plain and simple .... Buxton and arreaz at top of order for the rest of the season ,, they get things going , Loved that game on Saturday when you couldn't keep those two off the bases ... reminded me o tovar and carew days..... All the credit for Sundays walk off win goes to Buxton ,,, NOT OUR MANAGER
