  1. I thought the dodgers were struggling , they using illegal bats or maybe better check them for steroids ... Bert says solo homeruns don't hurt you , maybe they didn't hurt Bert when he was pitching ... But the way the are playing ( if you can call it that ) and not scoring runs , the solo homers are hurting ud ...
  2. He just ran out of hits ... 2 out mini rally snuffed out again
  3. Dodgers third base coach is just as bad as Twins third base coach , freeman running slower these days with ankle soreness and he sends him ... Aren't there any professionals left in the game of baseball ....
  4. Record holder for the Twins , not the league ... Can't remember who hold the record ...
  5. Can't hit it out the park there ... He is in the learning process and hopefully those homerun numbers come down next season or maybe even this year ...
  6. If the twins win tonight or any night in ymthis 3 game series ... The pitcher that loses to the twins is the one falvey is going to trade for .... 2 out rally , snuffed out ...
  7. Check back in when you get up for a potty break ... I'll be here ...
  8. I miss the olden days , when in school on a day game i would have a transistor radio in my pocket with an ear piece ..... didn't learn a damn thing those last few hours in class , I loved my heroes cause they played hard ... Go twins... P.s. , I still like my twins but I don't like our manager or higher ups , we could be winners if they could ever start thinking outside the box and play baseball , sounds dangerous , I live for danger , at least my brain does , body is slowing down ...
  9. They do this just to piss us off , they laugh at us stupid fans ... In there case ,, if the shoe fits wear it , I can't believe they think life is a box of chocolate ...
  10. I agree not all teams know what there going to do , still positioning themselves to determine if there buyers or sellers ... BUT , there are teams that already know they are going to buy and if those teams have something we like , we should be calling them to see if we have something they like ... We don't necessarily have to wait for every team , yes it could create a bidding war , if our front office is as smart as they think they are then the return should be just as good , get on the phone , get out front and stay out front , quit sucking hind tit ... I say think outside the box and get a quick start ahead of the other teams that will be sellers , they just might end up with the talent we want ...
  11. The front office just poached a trade with the dodgers , Noah Davis , what more do you want ... Seriously though , in their gut they must feel that the twins are going nowhere this season , if the front office is going to make trades , why wait , do it calmly now , why wait for the last minute ruckus , let's get this retooling going now and see what we have going forward and create some excitement for next year ... If it's a deal worth making , then make the deal from our strength to strengthen our weaknesses ... It's a lost season , wait till next year ....
  12. Wasn't much of a week to review ... Watched Ryan and Buxton in the allstar game which ended in a tie but was decided by a homerun derby ... Watched the twins in Colorado , nothing more to say after losing the first 2 games of the series ... Off to dodgertown , wish we were playing Detroit , they're slumping right now ....
  13. We salvaged 1 win in Colorado , the 1 win won't salvage the season ... Moving on to dodgertown , 3 games , twins haven't had much luck with dodgers , but winning 1 games would be nice but I really don't expect it ... Retool at deadline , trade off expiring contracts , find the the diamond in the rough to fill our weaknesses ... Trading 1 of Duran , Jax or Stewart won't hurt us , trade from a surplus and find some good players to move forward and win the division , i dont like playing second fiddle to a wild card ... Pitching is our strength , trade for some spunky quality bats that hit , clutch hit , no nervous Nellie's ... We may lose the rest of the season but give our prospects everyday reps to see who could be part of our future ...
  14. A salvage win out of 3 , things are beautiful in Colorado but the twins sure weren't for the first two games ... Lewis with 2 solo homeruns , now all we have to do is get the bases loaded and Lewis starts hitting his grand slams with confidence ... See ta in dodgertown ...
  15. But that makes sense and we know the organization doesn't have sense, they live on hope... Ryan starting the second half to ignite a win first game of series in Colorado was much needed and then distinguish a possible losing streak in dodgerville ...
  16. Boy does Miranda needs a change of scenery , maybe he can play in Japan or Korea , I don't think there is any hope for him here ... I haven't the answers on what's exactly going on with our prospects , as we know once they get here and play , pitchers find their weaknesses and they seem incapable of adjusting and then become head cases ... If I had to guess on the answers , it would be coaching at the major league level is not capable of taking a minor league prospect with talent at the minor league level , bring him up to a harder ML level , now coaches and players should always be capable of adjusting and learning to surviving a faster game ... i've said it many times , talent needs to continue to get better each step of the way , you never stop learning ...
  17. The twins should not be considered buyers per se , trade from a strength to fill the weaknesses of the team going forward ... Get an offer on an expiring contract and it's good enough to fill a weakness , take it ... Thats what we need to do at this years deadline , trade from our strength and expiring contracts and fill these weaknesses for 2026 ... You want my money , Make us believers again ...
  18. Happy birthday Tony , what a day in history too ... Lots of great memories of Tony O .. Jim Perry was referenced in last night's game thread , what a day he had , 2 wins , a double , sure miss the pitchers that could actually hit and pitch , kaat could hit well ...
  19. I would concur with this assessment that the team was not positioned properly going forward in 2025 , failing to fill weaknesses this team is not good enough and doesn't deserve a post season opportunity ... It's a tough pill to swallow watching this team ...
  20. Buxton is having a good season , he seems comfortable batting leadoff and hitting solo homeruns , I think he should be batting third and would see better pitches and better production IF the hitters in front of him could get on base ... Buxton is definitely the twins MVP for this year ...
