Twins need to get a good catcher that can hit and play solid defense ... Contreras is good , but not available ... There are a couple of good back up catchers that can hit and play defense , white Sox have two very good catchers , falvey needs to get creative and get it done , creative , his words not mine ( another of his phrases is wait and see , im tired of that one because i waited and saw at the deadline how he dismantled the bullpen )...

Misoroski at least didn't walk the lead off hitter , he throws hard but I heard them say he had 30 plus walks in 66 innings ...

They are just telling fans what fans want to hear , not what needs to be heard ... They say we are on the right track , I hope it isn't on a track with another train wreck heading straight for us ... Yes our patience is thin and the games are barely watchable , but I catch every game on radio or streaming ... I look forward to next season with a new manager that can instill some life in his players with the proper honing of skills , we can't live on hope that the players will have career years ... Im not having any twins baseball withdrawals and I'm glad our crummy season is over , I also see the team moving on from Lopez and Ryan and I don't blame them if they request a trade , if they request or demand a trade it only shows how poorly run this team has been , if we lose the 2 starting pitchers would buxton follow , I wouldn't blame him either .... I stated in Rocco's 2nd year as manager that I could not play for him or the plan that the falvine wiz kids implemented , the reason I didn't state this in his 1st year as manager was because he didn't have to manage that year because his players had career years , it was our last fun year of Twins consistency ...

Three Players Who Seized An Opportunity In 2025
Blyleven2011 replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Seize the opportunity ... One person that didn't seize the opportunity was our past manager, finally getting his walking papers ... Falvey hasn't lived up to giving the fans anything close to a perennial winner .... Owners have no business owning the team and failed to seize an opportunity to sell the team for more than the estimated value of the team , ( with contracts like ohtani , Soto and others it's time to sell because they just can't compete or are not willing to pay free agent money ) ... Seize the moment #2 .... SWR , keaschall , Martin , Clemens , maybe fritzgerald as utility , I kinda thought perrede the catcher was seizing an opportunity and last but not least , lefty funderburk, starting from the allstar game on performed well with just a couple of clunkers ..., no one else really coming to mind except for a couple of AAA players that should have been given a 40 man roster spot to play on the 26 man roster , it couldn't have been worse ..- 33 replies

I got to admit , I wish I was with you , it would of been hilarious to banter the twins personal ... Telling a concerned fan to leave tells you all you need to know about the organization and how it operates , they don't care about the fans ....

I cannot get excited when the front office raves about the pitching or position prospects in the system ... what they have accomplished in the minor leagues They still have alot to prove at the major league level ... They haven't developed enough in my opinion to be considered successful , they haven't really proven anything with homegrown prospects , like mentioned by others our starters are players we traded for except for Ober ... Take it for what it's worth , trust the front office or don't trust the front office ....

I want a manager that has the guts to win in extra innings .... A manager has to manage not just the club house and lineup card but all aspects of the game ... I want coaches that know baseball and players strength and weaknesses and hone those skills , I dont want 3rd base coaches like Watkins ...

Mariners and Milwaukee in the series , Seattle has never been there , Milwaukee lost to st Louis in 1982 ... Would be nice to have those teams and only one comes out a winner with a parade ... Padres have been there a couple of times and haven't won a world series either, but I'm not sure they can get there ...

You've been reading my posts over the years , I've been saying for 6 years after 2019 playoffs that this team will never win with Rocco and falvey and their plan ... Every year was the same , never a contender , just a team constructed to win enough games to draw fans to target field ... lousy pitching , good hitting teams ... then we finally build a solid rotation and some bullpen arms and then have no hitting ... The front office can not build a team with consistency , even though they were given the highest payroll in our division and spent foolishly

I just had a thought on the extension of Rocco after the 13 game winning streak ... It's never been confirmed that the twins did extend Rocco's contract , it's a good guess they did ... By the end of June they realized that was probably a mistake , so pohlads go to falvey and says get rid of Rocco and at any cost ( and the cost eventually was the fans ) , so falvey devised a plan to have Rocco resign as manager at the cost of the fans , at the deadline he goes to Rocco and says we are selling off the bullpen , everyone that will get a return and all impending free agents , so falvey hoping Rocco would say , I can't win with no bullpen and some lineup pieces so I'm going to resign as manager ... If rocco had resigned as manager after the deadline implosion he would have forfeited his remaining salary and salary for 2026 and saved the pohlads some money if he was actually given the extension ... Does this theory have any merit on how the owners and front office would operate , because that's how I see the owners and front office , sleazy , stab you in the back just to save a buck ... Twins daily , please don't sell my identity to the twins , they'll just lose another loyal fan ...
