  1. I read from top to bottoms and yes second base is shakey on defense for now , keaschall should improve with defense if the coaching staff is doing it's job ... This article also represents a problem at other positions on defense , they're not all that good ...
  2. The entertainment value of getting consecutive hits and bunching hits and runs together has become a lost art .... The other night Detroit against Yankees , Detroit strung hits , walks and homers in one inning , around 10 batters consecutively got on base before an out was recorded ... THAT WAS ENTERTAINMENT , A CHA CHA CHA ...
  3. Sat -i re 🤣... Get rid of the DH , pitchers can probably hit better than the rest of the lineup ... I haven't read the blog , I'll do it now...
  4. Sure hope the bat starts to be better , he had a good rookie year with the dodgers and 2023-24 he couldn't duplicate it , sound familiar, we still have a few of those that shouldn't be here ... He'll probably make the team out of spring training next year ... His defense hasn't been good in CF , left field might be his calling ...
  5. Close game is right , but closeness only counts in horseshoes , hand grenades and shaving .... 6 hits and 2 were homers to produce 3 runs , , twins walked alot , bases full a few times , can't seem to bunch the hits consecutively , they should have watched Detroit against the Yankees last night , detroit sent close to a dozen players consecutively before the first out was recorded in the inning ...
  6. The twins have had ample opportunities to score , let blow the doors off like detroit did to the yankees yesterday , it could happen , BUT its the twins ...
  7. I wasn't clearly awake when I predicted buxton hitting , the angels manager out managed me to walk buxton , damn ..
  8. Duck on the pond and new pitcher coming in to pitch to buxton , he going to throw a fastball to get ahead , buxton better be ready to send it downtown ....
  9. Did you hear about the reporter that did an interview with Outman , it wasn't Outman, it was Fitzgerald as he played along with the reporter , it was 24 hours later that the reporter found out he interviewed the wrong person ...
  10. I was crossing my fingers and my toes for a clutch hit by Martin ... NOT...
  11. It's been their MO since taking over , keep everything to themselves , during covid they wouldn't even come out and say the player was ill with the virus .... They seem to think they have a book of secrets ...
  12. Good catch , I forgot about that one .. Still been along time since a real twins pitcher that could really hit and kaat was one of them ... I liked the national league when they didn't have the DH and pitchers had to hit , there was alot of good pitchers that could hit and help there cause in winning a game ...
  13. Kitty kaat was the last twins pitcher to hit a homerun in 1972 , Fitzgerald was the pitcher in the 8th inning and batted in the 9th inning technically being labeled a pitcher and hit the first homerun for a Twins pitcher since kaat ... It was a rough game to watch , I kept dozing in and out , I only saw zebby give up 3 runs in the first and Fitzgerald hit the 2 run homerun in the 9th ... I missed most of the game but then again I didn't miss much of the game , it was a good game to take naps ...
  14. Fitzgerald is the first twins pitcher to hit a homerun since kitty kaat in 1972 ...
  15. They are trying to help us fans out by getting Rocco fired ...
  16. It a good day when the Yankees lose to an opponent ... It's a great day when the twins beat the Yankees ... I was watching that game , Detroit sent up a bunch of hitters and scored a bunch of runs with no body out in that seventh inning , commanding lead by detroit ...
  17. The team could be close to the least relevant team of the 30 teams as of now but there still in the conversations about the deadline purge . We have a relevant history that most true fans know around the country , I travel alot and strike up baseball conversations if I notice someone wearing baseball apparel , they know our great players that put on a twins uniform ...
  18. I'm watching the angels broadcast , they are kinda boring but better than Provus ... I think baldelli is paying the cameraman in California to film him in the dugout , I see more than i want too of Rocco , the game is between the lines , not the dugout ...
  19. I heard the woman umpire is calling balls and strikes tomorrow night ... Nice that grandma is there watching her grandson ....
  20. I sure miss those days ...
  21. I guess I'm just spoiled having a healthy buxton this year , when hecplays centerfield , nothing but rain drops ...
  22. That triple didnt hurt us but again if buxton or maybe even Keirsey Jr ciukd have caight that one , is Outman really considered a centerfielder ???
  23. I had a dream .... But the winning streaks won't happen until 2027 at the earliest ...
  24. 4 innings , 12 outs , 8 by strike outs , bad for us ... If the batters would only learn to hit to all fields , they would see better pitches to hit ... Lots to improve on in the coaching of some of these players ...
