    This is definitely a blowout and only the top of the 7th , pure agony .....
  2. Blyleven2011
    That's bunt by ismal was awesome ...
  3. Blyleven2011
    Shocked is better than a heart attack ...

    What do you mean , nothing hood has happened , soggy night , good time for a perfect bunt ( a beauty )

    I noticed this to ... Free swingers , the whole bunch of them , they dont have any idea to wait for their pitch , it's swing and hope they make contact , they have no strategy in the batters box ...

    The way it is going to start the season , I dont want to predict but it's looking close that the twins will be in the record club again and break the white Sox record of a couple of years ago ...
  7. Blyleven2011
    Wallner is a complete head case , challenge number 2 and wrong both times ...
  8. Blyleven2011
    Wow , not a good home opener after 3 wins on the road ... Pitching just wasn't on for this one , 20 walks given up , as much as I'd like to place blame on twins executives but whos to blame really ,( the pitchers )... You watch this game of baseball long enough and you never know what you will see for the first time ...

    Most of us fans were all stunned that Gray made the roster out of spring training ... Gray is not a replacement for shortstop but can be a utility player at all positions on the infield ... Lee has been just an average 1st round player, was he rushed and not given the proper development , was he not properly handled by the previous manager , is he a 3rd basemen , shortstop or a 2nd basemen ... Lee says he feels comfortable playing shortstop, his natural college position and pro ball , he played there after the deadline and had mixed results , let's find out after a quarter of the season has past and see how hard he worked in the offseason on his game to improve and have this conversation again then ... It would be nice if we could have a lineup called Murderers Row , but that takes talent and our system just isn't enhancing their talent ...

    Shelton's got to emphasize and kick some butt , a cold offense with missed opportunities isn't going to win games ... I dont think the defense has had any errors , that could be a positive ... But the blunders of this child's game has to stop with these professional boys of summer ...

    Why after spring training and 3 games into the season is twins daily doing a poll on shelton , do we approve or not approve ... I for one approve but have yet to take the poll .... Its a difficult challenge for shelton to take over basically the same team , the players need motivation and a better direction than the previous manager and FO gave them .... As for the 1-2 record on the road , guess we have to take it , yes mistakes were made and at the professional level should not happen , Shelton's job , coaches and the psychologist need to hone the players to be sharper on their decisions ...

    Thanks for the update , nice to see the saints off to a great start ... Kreidler hitting probably isn't sustainable , I dont know what his minor league stats are , always heard he was a glove first player ... Back to 6 game series again ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    WELL , WE'RE WAITING ... Was there an explanation for our baserunners getting out on the basepaths , everyone loves aggressive base running but they have to be smart about it ... Hitting in the clutch , it just doesn't seem to come from any of our homegrown players that we developed , we haven't developed a player that scores 100 runs , we haven't developed a player that has 100 rbi's in a season for quite sometime .... Let's face it the twins just haven't developed much talent to be competitive , I hope the time has come and it will change ... It was a good game but I thought it was suppose to be the bullpen arms that were suppose to lose it ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    Got the first win today , let's hopefully take the series on Sunday ... Bradley going 4 plus innings , I cringed when we went to the bullpen ... Team effort win games ..
  15. Blyleven2011
    But the difference is we are putting a competitive team on the field according to Tom P ... We just aren't good enough ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    Good write up about our talented players , as of now it's just hype and nothing has been proven on a MLB field , lately I haven't been impressed with the prospects once they reach the MLB level with this organization , maybe that will change with a different manager and new coaches , I sure hope something changes ... As of the not to forget the rest of the players , I think our organization has kind of given up on a few ... I hope our prospects can have a good year at their minor league levels and get promoted to MLB and keep producing ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    Sorry , it was inevitable ... See you Saturday for more twins lackluster baseball ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    Well it's been said before during the offseason that our bullpen would lose the game after a strong start from our starters ... Those that stated that I commend you and wish you were running the team ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    Not a chance ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    Not with topa pitching ... But spring stats don't mean a thing ... Well see ..
  21. Blyleven2011
    Double play , double play and more double plays .... And no hits with runners in scoring position ... Scoreless game is good and gives us a chance ...

    Opening day ... Is there baseball in heaven ??? 2 old guys love baseball , they played baseball in their youth and now that they're old they just talk about baseball ... One friend says to the other old friend , I wonder if there is baseball in heaven , the other replies I dont know , a week later he dies and goes to heaven , he's walking around heaven with the angels and he asks the angels if there is baseball in heaven , the angels reply , tgere is baseball in heaven ,the old guy asks tge angels if he could go back down to earth and tell his friend there is baseball in heaven , the angels replied that they couldn't grant his request but he could go talk with God , he goes and speaks with God and asks his request , God replies that he normally wouldn't allow him to go to earth to see his friend and tell him there is baseball , but God was going to grant him his request but God had a message he wanted the old guy to relay to his friend ... So the old guy goes back to earth and he runs into his excited friend , the friend ask how heaven was and if there is baseball in heaven ... The old friend replies I have good news and I have bad news , the good news is , yes there is baseball in heaven , the bad news your our starting pitcher on Friday night ... Play ball , twins opening day ...

    Its very hard for a fan to make a concerted effort to find a positive ... Bullpen looks shaky ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    That is a possibility , give him 30 or 40 games and see if his adjustments work out , if not , use an option then to st Paul ... Sad he hasn't measured up to his pedigree but he gave us pleasure in 2023 ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    Pete and repete all over again , no guts no glory , afraid of DFAing and losing someone on a waiver that is not better than a player that should be on the roster ... Same as always , the better player doesn't always make the roster out of spring training , if I was Tom Pohlad and claiming we will be competitive I would be all over the FO to put the best players on the roster , Outman cost us an injury prone player in Stewart ... DFAing someone this time of year is likely to not be claimed , minimal risk ...
