    To my knowledge it was never proven that rose bet on games during his playing career ... I guess it can be assumed he did , and if it was proven than I could see the lifetime ban on the hall of fame ....

    Moran got the first 2 outs and then walked the next 2 batters ,,, This seems like a common occurrence with our bullpen ,,, duffey , pagan too ... Why does this happen ???? ...

    The hall of fame voting process is definitely flawed ,,, There are still players worthy of the hall that aren't in the hall of fame and there are players that were voted in the hall of fame that are barely borderline ..... Hank Aaron is still the homerun champion in my heart ... What pete rose did as a player deserves to be a hall of Famer too ... What he did after his playing days should have no bearing on his election .... 1 commissioner suspends him for illegal activities after his playing days were over ,,, it's time to forgive and forget and have Pete rose in the hall of fame with a plaque

    Nice article Melissa ,, nice write up and I appreciate that you spell out your words and no abbreviation ... Let's hope the remaing 68 games are exciting , but either way you look at it .... it's way better than they played last season .... go twins

    I thought the same thing when looking at standings that it might not be right ..... Some good in the second half will be , Good days and bad days of twins baseball .... Players impressing , and players that are depressing especially the dumpster diving pitchers they keep signing , they signed another yester , Feliz .....

    With all our injuries again this year and montas shoulder injury in early July , I would not trade for him thinking if he is healthy now before the trade deadline , the shoulder injury would likely reappear right before the playoffs and shut him down ... Winder , I would not trade at all , we developed the kid through our system and I have like everything I have seen of him on the mound , he's to good of a talent to trade and seems like the only bulldog we have , but I guess if his value is high and the twins think his pitching may flounder ,,, than trade him , I so far see a solid arm in winder when healthy .... We need help , we don't have a surplus of pitching at AAA ,,, the twins need to trade what we have a surplus of and that's infielders and a few outfielders .... We aren't going to like what the FO does unless they can trade sano for more than a bucket of balls ...

    Winder is not expendable and I have liked what I have seen over some of the other rookie pitching prospects ... His stuff plays well so far and only looks to get better if he stays healthy ... I like his composure on the mound ... seems like a bulldog ...
  8. Blyleven2011
    If the twins are interested in montas it is bcause he is injured or could be injured goods .... That's an MO of the FO ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    And kaat too as the winningest lefthander in twins history .... he would have won a cy young in 1966 but they only gave out 1 cy young total for pitchers ( sandy Koufax won it in 1966 ) and later changed it to 1 per league
  10. Blyleven2011
    Don't forget mudcat grant ... Not even an honorable mention ... I liked Morris in 1991 but one season on the team , with accolades of a game 7 win in world series , he was a bulldog ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    Have they really hit it out of the park ??? Most would think that the twins have discussed contract with player drafted on day one before drafting the player ... If the draft of day one is going to be successful they have to get them signed first .... They are 3 good picks to be excited about .... Day two doesn't look all that good with the crap shoot ,,, I too hope the evaluators found some good talent on day two but saving money isn't finding quality players to play at the mlb level .....
  12. Blyleven2011
    Good analysis
  13. Blyleven2011
    A leader ,,, definitely not the manager .... The team has played sub 500 play for a while now and yes I'd like to see a more enthusiastic team for more exciting games ... The front office thinks we will be a competitive team , I don't think the Twins will be a contender at the end of the season .... FO WILL SIT ON THEIR HANDS and sign mediocre below average arms because they are cheaper .... GO BOLD AND HAVE SOME GUTS AND FIX THIS MESS THEY HAVE PUT US IN , PITCHING ,,, even if we don't win the division , THE LEADERSHIP STARTS WITH THEM , BY ADDING A BETTER EXCITING PRODUCT ON THE FIELD ,,, and that starts with quality pitching ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    There in hiding and haven't been seen since we have played less than 500 ball since a 27 and 16 start ... THE FRONT OFFICE GOT US INTO THIS MESS , the fans have suffered enough with this bad pitching ,,, GET IT FIXED ... Yesterday's game reminded me of what the twins were last year .... the minnesota possums , play dead at home and get killed on the road ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    Can't say more ,,, my thoughts exactly ....
  16. Blyleven2011
    Tech catcher parada would be my choice as well ,,, Maybe not a complete five tool player but could be better in the future with more experience working through the minor and maybe in a couple of years be in the bigs ... this is a position that is needed , It's doubtful he will be available but anything can happen
  17. Blyleven2011
    Draft a worthy 5 tool athletic player ,,, No more bat first and no defensive home to play ,,, that is not worthy of a first round selection ..... This FO has done that in past drafts and that always makes me nervous
  18. Blyleven2011
    A great win we needed and on kaat's day .... Another of my childhood hero's honored by the twins ... ( WHAT TOOK SO LONG ) ,,, KITTY KAAT has the most wins in twins history as a lefthanded pitcher ,,, it was a sad day when Calvin let him walk ... Kitty pitched Another 10 years after 15 years with the twins ,,, Calvin thought the arm was toast .... I wish some of you younger twins fans could have seen these earlier hero's ,,, THEY TOOK THE FIELD AND CAME TO PLAY
  19. Blyleven2011
    I wouldn't sign susac in the first round that high ,,, I think I've seen the yankees are interested in him in first round ,,, just a mock inkling .... A first round pitcher with high ceiling ( ace , stud , bulldog ) would be nice to replace petty who we traded for sonny gray .... I'm not sure there are any of his caliber rated that high but twins may think differently
  20. Blyleven2011
    Yes , parada is who I have in mind If he drops to eighth in the first round ... susac would be the other choice but maybe not in first round for twins , maybe comp pick.....
  21. Blyleven2011
    Sano is at AAA ,,, spend the remainder of the month there , Get him hitting and fielding better and trade him to a team that needs a dh before Aug 2nd for a bucket of balls or even a dollar would do it , that is his value .... We are clicking on offense that we don't need him mudding up the offense with strikeouts and no production .... If he goes somewhere else for a change of scenery and attitude adjustment and produces , well good for him ,,, we just don't need another major leaguer named rob deer ,,,
  22. Blyleven2011
    It was a busy and crazy deadline in 2018 .. .did get some prospects back that are performing at the mlb level ... If the twins FO are smart , they should be thinking smelters value is not going to be any higher as a starter and trade him at the deadline if we acquire Snell or another starter ... Smeltzer has had no success as a relief pitcher as a twin ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    Pass on Horton .... He's in it for the money , not for love of the game .... Quite obvious with his demands ... and he wasn't considered a first rounder until he dominated the college world series ,,,, Even a blind squirrel can find a acorn once in a while .. To much risk here on him . Still I like a need of catcher for the 8th selection
  24. Blyleven2011
    Can never have to much starting pitching , but yes the bullpen is the most obvious concern ,,, we need quality arms for bullpen ,,, NO EXCEPTIONS ... Have guts , be bold go for quality FO ....
  25. Blyleven2011
    I'd take Snell over the Dodgers Price and having Snell back in the American league might be a refreshing change of scenery for him ... His contract is reasonable through 2023 ....
