    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
  2. Blyleven2011
    Arreaz ,,, This will be his third game at first base and he has clearly done well .... love to watch him hit it where they ain't .. Go twins
  3. 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

    Who fills the MLB with BS ,,,, None other than the owners commissioner , Rosenthal was good for the channel and good for baseball period ,,, baseball is in decline and the MLB channel is still good but not as good ..... I'm not to concerned to nit pick at the rankings this early in the season , I'll wait until towards the seasons end
  5. Blyleven2011
    I'm not sure you would understand if you lean towards all the analytical metrics of the game today to decide and your age might have a different view of the game than mine ....
  6. Blyleven2011
    Yes there is and it's called production
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. Blyleven2011
    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
  10. Blyleven2011
    It was a sloppy game but yes well take the W .. Chicago has 16 errors in 14 games ,,,,
  11. Blyleven2011
    I think you're on to something that makes sense ,, start immediately with this strategy and if works out come MAY when rosters get reduced to 26 , 13 pitchers ,,, leave him there , Couple of problems though , sonny Gray's injured and FO and manager like strategies that have no sense
  12. Blyleven2011
    I guess not to bad , young and a pitcher ,,, let's hope that he makes good on the trade
  13. Blyleven2011
    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
  14. 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 ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    The twins need to hand out hand warmers and heaters in the dugout to keep them warm .. The hitting should get better . I'd like our wiz kids to talk to the schedule makers and have us on the west coast to start the season , coming up from Florida to the cold could possibly be the problem ,,, Since target field opened have we really ever got off to a great start ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    Duffey has been homer prone his entire career ... Bad call with the lead last night , I knew the twins were in trouble , I have never been able to trust duffey even in his good year or so
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. Blyleven2011
    Now that is definitely a controversial subject .. couldn't believe it , I still can't, the runner was out by 2 steps , called safe to ruin a no hitter .... Is Jim Joyce even umpiring any more ..
  20. Blyleven2011
    I have a new one since I read some of twins daily articles .... DHing Byron Buxton to keep him from hurting himself ,,, that's the most controversial argument I could ever possibly discuss .... We paid the man to play centerfield , yes if he would stay healthy he would win gold gloves and have votes for mvp .... he's your centerfielder for several more years , cross your fingers and your toes to double down on him staying healthy ... DHing Buxton is a no no ... that is controversial
  21. 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 ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    THIS IS A NO NO ,,, I won't say anymore
  23. Blyleven2011
    Mine is the FO has the plan and Rocco is just a follower not the manager ,,, I don't listen to Rocco's pre or post game talks cause it's all bs ... Also , FO leaving the fans wondering what the plan really is ,, never a straightforward reply to questions media will ask ... Im sorry We will not win with this combination running the team , I've been in baseball to long to think differently ... they are ruining our talent
  24. 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 ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    You would have thought they would have put their best options on the opening day roster ... there was some pitchers that performed well in spring training but because they were not on 40 man roster were sent to AAA
