    I definitely concur with this , Todays businesses never give you your money's worth ....

    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

    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

    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

    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

    It was a sloppy game but yes well take the W .. Chicago has 16 errors in 14 games ,,,,

    We have the reinforcements prospects but they don't bring them up when we really need them and give them the opportunity , our front office quoted when they cleaned house and fired everyone in the system ( we have hired all top professionals at every position to turn this franchise into a winner ) , I keep waiting for those words to come to fruitation . They keep digging into their depth of dumpster divers ... we want to see our talent ( FO draftees ) at the major league level not somebody else's rejects ... The manager may be a players manager but he simply does not take that talent and develop him into a better talent ... Baseball is baseball , hit , run and catch
  9. Blyleven2011
    Only time will tell .... Right now he looks good in the bullpen , If the manager and FO would give the pitchers a definite roll or title a pitcher might have better success and try harder to move up to a better title ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    The FO and Rocco follow a plan , Plain and simple and won't deviate from it ,,, they are not the wiz kids plain and simple ... I knew the lead was going to change with duffey coming in and would allow at least 1 homer , how many homers has duffey allowed already this season ,,, his command and velocity is down and they stick to there plan with one of the worst arm in the BP right now , They won't deviate from the plan , plain and simple .... It was a winnable game and the plan failed again , Plain and simple
  11. Blyleven2011
    That's a good wrap of the game Jamie ... Now we need to find another 3rd base coach who will send the fast runners and hold the slow runners .. Also relegate duffy to mop up duty , his stuff sucks
  12. Blyleven2011
    Like doctor gast said basic hitting is needed ,, Where do we stack up with doubles ,,, consecutive doubles scores a run and leaves a runner in scoring position for a batter to hit a single and have a rbi .... Scoring runs matters as much as winning games ,, we need base runners to score a 100 runs or more ,,, We also need more clutch hitting in the homers with men on base ,,, they can be a game changer , if the player has the mentality for pressure situations Solo homers are not game changers .... Batting Averages , runs scored and RBI's still matter to me .... also small ball mixed in with today's metrics ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    THIS IS A NO NO ,,, I won't say anymore
  14. Blyleven2011
    Larnach needs to build confidence at the major league level ,, Let him bat against righthanded pitching to build that confidence up first then unleash him to both sides of the plate ... It's a plan that should work and the FO and Rocco like game plans ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    I'll add ,,, about our bullpen is they have surrendered 18 runs in the 8th inning in 10 games ... We fixed nothing from last year with the bullpen to really strengthen it , The New faces is just a mirage
  16. Blyleven2011
    I disagree with this take ,,, The twins could do alot more to create interest in their team in drawing fans .. Educate the tots to a Harmon killebrew day , a rod carew day , Tony Oliva day , Puckett day , Blyleven day , a kaat day .... our hof honorees The kids would get the to know the legends on the history of twins players and the dads and grandfather's would love it too ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    We traded perry, the only pitcher in our system with an ace label attached to him... What I'm looking for is a college ace , bulldog , stud that might be on a major league roster in less than a year ...... Other clubs can find them , why can't the front offices top professionals find them ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    I would like to see more consecutive back to back hits ( singles and doubles ) for alittle more excitement to score some run ..... Twins have played 3 games , have scored 14 runs , Average of 4 1/2 per game ... Twins have 18 hits , 8 singles , only 1 double and 9 homers in 3 games .... 7 homers have been solos and 2 have had a runner or more ,,, 13 runs have scored on the homer , 1 by a hit ... Not getting on base enough , walks 9 ,, averaging 3 per game , Strikeouts 28 , averaging 9 per game.. Sano and kiriloff have played all 3 games and do not have a hit yet ... The production level has been down by all the solo homers the twins continue to hit, a solo homer is not a game changer ... clutch hitting is !!! It's regular season now so wins and losses count , our manager should realize every win counts even early on ..

    I do not listen to pre or post game comments from baldelli ,,,, Can't stand the bs ... This was a mismanaged game on the manager and FO , If he said in his post game release that duffy was the man he wanted in the 9th he is definitely sleeping while standing up ... Acala or pagan ,, Duran pitched 2 innings yesterday and threw 22 pitches and only threw 16 innings last year in AAA , so rest him yes ,,, Pagan just getting into a twins uniform , they haven't seen him throw this year so he's not their option for the ninth ... Acala pitched 1 clean inning yesterday and threw 13 pitches ... In my opinion he would have been my choice with a 1 run lead to pitch but FO and Rocco want to rest their pitchers for the long season ... Just a bad choice ( mismanaged ) and Rocco and FO cost us the game , last year alot of fans were calling for a change in Rocco or they had lost faith in his ability to manage .. Keep watching fans because he is the same as last season and the season before , 2019 was a career year for the players and he did not have to manage until the playoffs ,, he'll continue to be out managed by the other teams better managers , he will continue to mismanage his team as well ... I have followed the twins for over 50 years and hardly miss a game , twins have had other managers that weren't good and lost games too by mis managing ... My point is there are not any injuries so we can't blame it on that ,,,

    I've been gone for a month and trying to catch up on the trades .... Twins trade our best hitting catcher to Texas for a shortstop and prospect and then the twins flip shortstop to the yankees plus donalson and salary relief plus our best defensive catcher rortvedt for Sanchez , ursela .. Twins trade our 1st round draft choice of 2021 and the only pitcher in our system labeled an ACE , Longshot sure but the twins got sonny gray and a prospect ,, sonny gray is not ACE material but a very good pitcher ... Now we trade Roger's ( an above average coveted lefthander in the bullpen) and rooker with no real value as of yet for paddack and pagan that have taken some steps backwards with Padres the past few years and and a player to be determined later ,,, We also give san Diego 6.6 million if I'm reading the post right ... My point to the trades are we overspent on everyone of them and are hoping that a change of scenery will restart their careers ... Traded away above average players for players depth that we're hoping to trade at deadline once they build up value for prospects .... I do like shaking things up though , it should always be on the minds of players always that they can be replaced .... If only our manager would take the talent he has and tap into the talent potential and make that player better ,,,, Maybe Correa can help the lineup cut down on the strikeouts since he came from a team that struck out the most for a few seasons and then went to first in striking out the least in the league with Houston ... THATS adjustments and that's more of the game than analytics ....

    Play the game to the best of their ability and I'll give my answer after the end of the season .... I won't speculate on coulda , woulda and shoulda ....
  22. Blyleven2011
    As much as I love the game of baseball , I'm not going to let the idiots RUIN my life ... If or when it gets done ,,, WE PLAY BASEBALL

    My achy breaky heart .
  24. Blyleven2011
    What about John castino , Pete Redfern , Jim eisenrich and some others who were promising prospects but injury ended some careers before they really got started ,,, Can't ignore past prospects if there was no top prospects list back then .... We didn't need prospects list back then because we used the eye test .... Jim eisenrich went on in Kansas city to a career after battling nervous disorders , think he was sold for a dollar , rumor has it ...... I wouldn't go as far to say mauer was one of the best player in a twin uniform ... Hometown boy that just didn't quite have what it took to LEAD the team to a world series ,,, contract wasn't his fault but he just didn't seem to have the bulldog emotions as a leader , I would have done more than just be an example on the field to lead ... If mauer wasn't a Hometown boy , maybe I wouldn't be hard on him if he played for another team
  25. Blyleven2011
    If Martin and Palacios have a strong start in minor leagues either definitely have a chance with the early start over 40 man roster players to open the season if there is not a shortstop added ..... Cantarino , winder and strotman if healthy and get off to strong starts , we do have 2 spots currently left to fill on 40 man roster and once the season starts and adding enlow and maeda to 60 day IL LIST that will be 2 more spots to fill on 40 .... some Minor league players from AA on up to AAA have a great opportunity to make opening day MLB roster if and when WE PLAY BALL
