    We are back in it ... Let's hold them ...

    Bummer , 2 strikes and he tattooed that hit , leadoff walks will haunt and come around to score and score some more with a triple ... Get some outs , play clean defense ... Clemens may be our best defensive utility player , plays 1st , 2nd and tonight rightfield ... This is not fun ..

    Quick 1 , 2 , 3 inning ... Prielipp needs to shut down the lineup , his starts good so far but lefthanders in fenway isn't going to do him any favors ...

    Should be an interesting game with this defensive alignment of players ... Who's better as a centerfielder ??? Martin or Kreidler ... Arcia could have played SS or thirdbase ... Looks like a game of musical chairs tonight ...

    Really not much to discuss here other than Royce Lewis needs help and only he can help himself ... I dont have the answers , i wish i did cause i enjoyed all those grand slams he hit , that was then , this is now ... Clear those cobwebs ( mental phase of the game ) , review past videos of his professional career and see what might improve his hitting , something in those videos might trigger the adjustments he needs to make ... ... Defense was looking better to start the season but it slumped right with his hitting ... Royce Lewis was a number 1 draft choice in 2017 , he was not a college player , he was drafted out of California high-school ...

    A chance worth taking ?? It's been awhile since the front office has taken any kind of a chance and when they did they blundered it in 2022 deadline and regretted it since , and they have become gun shy since the 2023 deadline when it was necessary for deadline acquisitions , and the off seasons have been dreadful... The twins are playing better baseball than anyone ever expected in 2026 , a chance is always worth taking and some moves of shaking up this roster of position players and bullpen arms was finally necessary ... With the poor central division play , there is a chance to stay in contention with some more development if the defense and hitting improve from our current rostered players ... Injuries or poor play to our propects in the minors on 40 man roster have probably delayed some of these prospects from debuting in 2026 Gonzalesis starting to heat up , could someone not on the 40 man roster help the current team , that is a chance they might have to take ... Nothing hurts by DFAing a under performing veteran , they started with topa , Garcia should be another to open a 40 man roster spot and there should be others to follow ...

    Nice to get the series win and a winning homestead ... The warm weather really hasn't cooperated for the start of the season , but now that the twins are leaving for a road trip the warm weather will be near 80's at target field , hope it follows them to boston ... Will the twins comeback a 500 club from the road trip , just maybe they will , I didn't have much faith in the team to start the season because of a failed off season of not adding any significant additions to offense and bullpen ... This team is playing better ball and they just might start impressing me more than I would have thought ... If they could clean up their mental and defense errors and start adjusting to hitting with runners in scoring position it just might be a better exciting team ... I even listen to pre games with shelton on the radio , I could never watch or listen to rocco , never , it always seemed so fake ...

    Homerun coming ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    Keaschall will tell you it's is easy to get a shot at a debut in the MLB ... Lewis will tell you it's not easy to stay in the MLB ...

    I gave up on the FO personal along time ago when they started thinking they were smarter than a fifth grader , so starting 2017 ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    Outman getting plenty of playing time with wallner gone , you would think his timing and hitting would get alittle better soon ... Playing Outman on both sides of the ball , he now needs to contribute with production of he's a bigger detriment than he was before ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    I'm just tuning in ... looked at box score ... Martin has no hits again so far tonight , did moving him off left field hinder his hitting while he's learning a new position ... He's hasn't had a hit the past 2 games maybe more , he's 5 for 25 in last 7 games ... This is concerning to me ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    Never .... Twins squeak it out ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    Cane you believe a walk to the first batter , I can ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    And you don't get paid for it ... I've been able to respond with thumbs up ,what you have to do is click on it 4 times really quick before the error flashes , keep trying until you get the knack of it ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    Maybe on a hot streak , we need his bat and many more , nice to see a homerun with someone on ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    Has any noticed ... Since Martin has moved to rightfield , is it my imagination or has hitting suffered since his move to rightfield ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    I hope this article doesn't jinx Clemens , he's been fine defensively and his hitting is hot right now , keep playing him regularly as the hot hitter ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    I read in trade rumors that the twins have until tuesday or Wednesday , if another team claims him , the twins can either activate him or let him walk ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    Played 500 ball for the week , starting pitching is still our strength , bullpen wasn't as bad this week , still there are a couple bullpen arms that should not be here ... Hitting , twins were getting plenty of hits ( not the crummy 3 hit games , but 8 to 10 hits ) , the hits just weren't coming in the opportune time to score runners in scoring position with less than 2 outs , strikeouts at times are a problem , would like to see more aggressiveness in bunting , stealing , ball contact , hitting behind the runner , hitting to opposite field ... Royce Lewis needs to make adjustments and that is hitting the ball to all fields , he's pulling everything , popping up or striking out ( cant catch up to a fastball ) ... a talented player like Lewis once was , and can be again if he was hitting successfully to all fields , low and away he is reaching for the pitch when he should be hitting to the opposite field where it's pitched ...

    I'm not sure salvaged is the right word for the series ... We were hoodwinked by the umpires on Friday night that resulted in a loss , a game the twins should of won ... Didn't catch much of the game today as graduations are common for awhile ... Nice to see the twins win and not manage to get swept , box score shows 6 hits and 5 runs , just enough but another 1 run game against Milwaukee that turned out a win for the twins ... Bullpen did its job through 8 inning and our ancient 39 year old veteran managed to keep us on the edge of our seats , I did see the ninth inning , Garcia with the save ( he is one of a few candidates to be DFA'd and nobodywould miss him )... Haven't heard any thing on the opt out deadline Bowman has today , he's earned the chance to get promoted , should be a ticket up from Garcia ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    Royce had a chan e with 10 pitches , percentage goes up with that many pitches ,that's how bad royce is ... So sad ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    A productive hitter that has rbi's is most likely to get a good salary like a homerun player does , a good productive hitter gets the rbi's in the clutch , some people think that rbi's spread out between the team is a good thing , id rather have a player have over 100 rbis , than I would say that hitter is a productive player to the team ... We haven't had a 100 rbi or 100 runs scored by a player for quite sometime , was 2019 the last year ??? Those stats matter to me as much as OBP and OPS , we can't keep having a bulk of the players strikeout more than a 100 times a year , that is just not productive especially 3 in arow with runners in scoring position ......
  24. Blyleven2011
    Zebby pitched a good game , what he needs is to be more consistent from start to is start ... Cold weather could of been a problem to his starts with St. Paul but spring training was warm weather and he didn't pitch all that well to make the club ... Has zebby made the adjustments to major leagues hitters , let's not get to ahead of ourselves after 1 start and lets hope so when he competes against a better team of hitters than Miami ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    We lost a game we should have won in front of a large crowd of Milwaukee fans ... Bad defense , bad offense and bad mental mistakes ... Prielipp has pitched solidly in his starts since his debut , going to like watching the lefthander pitch as he refines his command ... Pitching is definitely our strength , offense sucks and chokes with runners on base , even the homeruns come mostly with no one on base ... Just not a clutch hitting team , the team should be pissed and show some emotions today , ( a killer instinct would be nice ) ...
