  1. Back in the win column , Bats were pretty good tonight ...
  2. That was funny , made my day ... After review the call stands the runner is safe , when he was out ... It was close , maybe the crew chief thought he was safe from a different view ...
  3. The twins did something right ... First Festa didn't throw the ball away and the players played run down with would be stealer and finally got him , I wonder who got more tired , our players or the Texas runner ...
  4. The twins did something right , first Festa didn't throw the ball away and then the run down on attempted steal , they got him , yeah ...
  5. 3 run game changer homerun , buxton is so fun to watch once again
  6. Lead off hitter has gotten on each inning , nothing to show for it ... I'm still worried ...
  7. This time though , Correa didn't have to hit into a double play , he just stood there at strike 3 and Willie out stealing for double play ... If it's close YOU SHOULD SWING...
  8. I'm still worried ... Like the aggressiveness , but Castro was clearly out easily and Rocco had them check to see if they wanted to challenge ...
  9. I've been worried since the start of the season ...
  10. Even if some did claim him , at this point in his twins career it wouldn't be a great loss , he's been awful since that Texas melt down last year ... He's had a few low leverage outings he's done good , but it's just not enough to keep him pitching for the mlb club ... If no one claims him he can be a free agent I believe or he can go play for the saints and work things out ...
  11. My take on game ... Sloppy loss ... SWR can't seem to go 5 innings but I think we found our 3 inning long relief pitcher , Adam's sent back to AAA before he could make his mlb debut ... What to do with Alcala ??? Tough game , I dozed and missed bottom of eighth and top of ninth , bottom of the ninth was uneventful
  12. It's a blow out , did anyone see it coming ??? Lopsided sloppy game for the Twins , as Rocco will probably say in post-game, we'll try and be ready for tomorrow nights game ...
  13. Acala is not mentally into to it now and Rocco is not mentally into it either , get him out of there
  14. Has wallner hit a homerun with anyone on base since coming back from injury ..
  15. That aboy Lewis , picked up Correa for not scoring on Frances hit ...
  16. Let's see if it can come to fermentation...
  17. He would be , but our players seem to get injured often ...
  18. SWR needs to pound the inside , don't let the hitter dig in , plus he needs a couple of good strikeout pitches
  19. We were all exited to a point on acquiring mahle but Twins fans were leary of the trade because of injury concerns and upset with falvey and team by not doing there due diligence on his medical records , he had shoulder problems before the trade , he suffered more after the trade and it took them into 2023 to find out he needed Tommy John surgery ... The front office really had no business believing the twins were serious contenders in 2022 and making the blundering trades , they were competitive but not contenders ... The twins were a more serious contending team in 2023 and the front office did nothing at the deadline to improve the team , they have been gun shy at doing deadline deals since 2022 to fill the needed holes ... After a disastrous 2024 season the front office continues to believe the twins are serious contenders and living on hope that the same players can win the division , the goal is to win the division with a solid competitive team , not to limp in as a wild card and hope anything can happen ... We will know by end of June what this team will be capable of accomplishing , the offense needs to click and show the consistency of their hitting skills , they can't keep making every opponents pitcher look like Cy Young ... Wish mahle the best , just not against the twins tonight
  20. Sometimes I think we just abandon playing baseball all together , some days are awful tough to watch the games , but I do ... State of pitching is solid , still think it's a strength , still have work to do on the fundamentals , defense and offense , we are getting close to the half way mark of 81 games , we will know the true identity by tge end of June .... Wallner hasn't looked to good in rightfield this year , last year he might of played more left field because we still had Kepler , maybe we should for good of the team switch wallner to left and larnach to right field ... If wallner stays in right field I expect him to improve because he is just coming back from an injury , team is probably telling him to take it easy and not run to hard until you know for sure you are close to 100 percent , look how Lewis started coming back from injury and he seems and we hope he has turned the corner ... Base running blunders still amaze me , losing concentration on the bases is unacceptable ...
  21. Thanks for Maldonado ... Vazquez's defense will be difficult to replace , Defensive catchers are not as easy to find like in years past , catchers are leaders and the good ones are , he works good behind the plate , calls a good game ... His defense has some value andcit has won us some games ... I've always liked Vazquez , can't help it that fans don't like him because he's making 10ml ... To each their own
  22. Yep , besides his defense and great smarts behind the plate , his hitting hasn't been too bad for awhile , he's got his batting average at about 215 , by end of the year maybe he could hit a little better than the past couple of twins years , he's motivated because he's a free agent after this season , I wouldn't mind resigning him again for 8 to 10 million depending on his season with the bat , but for his defense alone , sign him for 6 million or what ever Houston was paying that defensive catcher who I think is catching with white Sox ( just cant think of his name right now ) ...
