  1. Nice to break the 7 game losing streak to the Sox ... Nice win in extra innings , Whew ... Pitching on both sides was tough , twins prevailed and won with Lee the hero in the eleventh clearing the bases ... Outmans 4 strikeouts , his offense , need i say more , OK , it's BAD ...
  2. Griffin Jax ( Captain Jax ) ... I don't blame Jax for requesting a trade after that spat with rocco on the mound , Jax is more intelligent , and Rocco insulted , embarrassed , disgraced or whatever you want to call it ... Happy that Jax is getting what he wants to do and that is starting , he'd always been a starter in the minors and 1 year with the twins before being converted to relief ... The twins never put much value on Jax as a prospect , i followed Jax in the minors and he had decent numbers in the minors but the twins exposed him to rule 5 claim a couple of years , the year he was called up they brought him in just to eat innings as a starter ( because 9of injures ) and never expected much from him and then got lucky as he converted to reliever the next year ...
  3. Nice day for a ballgame after a muddy mess in final game in Boston ... Starting pitching kept us in the game , patience and hitting just wasn't enough today ... Get them tomorrow , White Sox's are better than the pre-season's prediction , they had a productive off season and added a couple of quality players ...
  4. The last play the third baseman made to end the inning for the twins , he reminded of a shortstop I once knew
  5. Did I see AJ Pierzynski on tv ???? Or was the a figment of my imagination ...
  6. That game 6 homerun was definitely special ... Last time I got excited and stood and applauded a game was back in July of 2015 , twins were down 6-1 against Detroit , bottom of the ninth , Mauer i think starts it off with a double , twins managed to score 4 in all kinds of ways , Dozier with the score 6-5 and 2 runners on hits a walk off homerun and twins win 8-6 ... I got out of my recliner and stood , applauded the comeback win and said IT'S ABOUT TIME , it been quite awhile since the twins had a walkoff win ...
  7. First off , the article did not mention SWR , low light moving to the pen but a much needed demotion ... Good week of playing ball , the team needed a shake up and it seems to have generated better defense and offense , the players should be playing for their jobs with a passion for the game , not the money ,,, I do miss a player like arraez that played for the love of the game , I do see a better game from our players and alot better than anyone expected through a third of the season , the commraderie has been better this season then in pastyears ... Still some kinks in adjustments to be made , Shelton and his coaches have made a difference in our game so far and winning games in April and May is important , just like the games played down the stretch ...
  8. When you sweep a series in their park , what could go wrong ... When you are winning with a 4 game winning and 7 out of 10 , nothing could be better ... A wet game , a nervous wreck in bottom of the ninth but twins prevail , it's a team effort that is working ... When you don't have Buxton, keaschall or Jeffers playing who would have believed the sweep was possible in Boston ...
  9. Will 6 be enough , lots of one run wins and losses ... What's it going to be in this wet sloppygame ???
  10. I knew 3 runs wasn't going to be enough ... We better we score more ... Worked the last time !!!
  11. I knew 1 run wasn't going to be enough to win this game , we better get more ...
  12. Be nice if Clemens could make it pay here at top of first ...
  13. It's a tough job but someone has to do it , Roger's got that important 3rd out with bases loaded , a veteran not stirred and not shaken either ...
  14. I didn't see the first 6 innings , sure was nice to have Bradley back from IL list and sooner rather than later ... 5 very good innings that I missed from Bradley , I liked what I saw from Rojas today , a few wild ones in 3 innings of work ... Offense was hitting , nice to see double digit hits in a game , last year they could barely get 3 or 4 hits a game ... The team is slowly putting baby steps down , the hope is will they sustain it and keep improving ... Like I said in another thread article , the Twins are competive in their division but are not contenders in the league ... They are playing better than any of us expected except for PETER ... Nice win and guaranteed a series win , win tomorrow and it’s time for a sweep ...
  15. How will the FO operate at the deadline , in a weak division we are competive , in the league we are not a contender ... Really way to early to speculate ... Joe Ryan , we have solid young pitching to replace Ryan, trade Ryan if the offer is substantial Lopez is back next year ... Ryan jeffers , injured now but was having his best start to his career this season , trade if healthy and someone comes calling with a decent offer ... Trade one year contracts , Roger's , Gray , nobody is going to want Bell as just a DH unless he is a 300 hitter ... What about Larnach , his value may be high if he doesn't slump and we have outfield covered with potential prospects ... Buxton no , Martin no , Lewis and Wallner as of now with no value is a no ... Why is funderburk still in the minors , why is Garcia still on this team , these are head scratchers that the FO continues to have us live with ...
  16. When a fish looks like it is dead in the water and comes back to life and swims away with a victory ... Comeback wins are always exciting , too bad some viewers tuned out to do something else , for those that did they missed a great game ... 2 homers in the same inning and with a runner on was nice to see ... Never seen a wild pitch bounce out of play on third strike ... Twins Baseball is alot more exciting this year since the 2019 juiced ball season ... Keep spoiling us BOYS of summer ...
  17. I was glad for anytime game , working the fields , the transistor was always tuned to wcco , even the transistor Wednesday night at catechism ...
  18. All i can say is WOWEE ... Anyone who turned it off , we'll...
