  1. If the twins make the playoffs , should Ober be the starter in first game ... 🤣🤣🤣
  2. Someone needs to tell Bradley to pitch like Ober , under 90 miles an hour and Ober gives up only 2 runs ...🤣🤣🤣
  3. Hey guys it's not election time , Did you realize the twins won tonight and we are a 500 team ... Peter is beaming right now ...
  4. I never do , they're all crooked ... You do know what most politicians are don't you ... They are mostly failed lawyers or reporters that couldn't make enough money at their profession , so they become politicians and make millions from corporate world ...
  5. I remember it all to well , falvey loved his dumpster diving and cheap free agents ...
  6. Because of the pending strike or lockout of 2027 , if they are added to the 40 man roster they would have to sit ... They need their development to continue honing their skills , I dont think we will see any of the top prospects until baseball resumes , that is just my opinion but it makes the most sense , you don't want them sitting out baseball when they can continue playing in the minors...
  7. He's get paid major league money , I suggest you go to 1 twins way and have a talk with someone in the know , cause I'm not sure why either ...
  8. The blood has been spilled , now Ober and bullpen need to hold it where it's at ...
  9. I've taken 2 to the nose and eye , both on a ricochet , never thought it by would happen to a professional ... My nose is not straight ...
  10. I've taken 2 to the nose and eye , both on a ricochet , never thought it by would happen to a professional ... My nose is not straight ...
  11. Your letting Peter down ,hes predicated that the twins will be in the playoffs ...
  12. Where's the church of Kreidler , he should of blessed this team for a smoking 10 plus game winning streak
  13. Sam , I concur the twins are hot and cold , inconsistencies through the season , even the fans have inconsistencies , highs when winning , lows when losing , we need a balanced harmony for this team ... Going against the cubbies who are contenders is crucial and will give the twins the most problems , we have to win 1 game for sure in wrigleyville or were sunk , Cleveland is ahead of us but in a weak division , I don't see them as contenders , they are missing their star third baseman , twins must win 3 against them or we are sunk ... I still see us as sellers until the team proves me wrong , as I've mentioned in other articles jeffers and larnach are expendable and replaceable , twins could still play hot and cold even if we kept them past the deadline ... The team has played exciting baseball and it would be exciting if we could get a playoff berth but in the playoffs we are not a contender , the FO would really have to buy / add something significant to turn this team into a real contenders at the deadline .. The boys have got to come out of the break hungry, develop a killer instinct , I'll be rooting them on and hopefully we can get 10 game winning streak or more going ...
  14. Thanks for the outstanding article , as they say , the draft is a crap shoot , some will get a career and some might get a cup of coffee ... I guess all the lefthanders were either small and couldn't throw mid nineties , or all the ones that could were taken already ... Not head over heels on this years draft , Lackey yes , high school pitcher yes but will be difficult to sign him , renfro throws strikes ... lots of work ahead for the other draftees and coaches to make it a worthy draft ..
  15. Sam , we still have 2 plus weeks before the deadline , I'm not thinking of the deadline acquisitions until we get over 500 and beyond consistently ... The twins will be selling , Jeffers and Larnach can be shipped out and not hurt our chances of staying around the 500 mark ... As for buying , someone needs to get in the door at 1 twins way and get a feel for their plan ... Tom needs to make his pitch to the fans before the deadline , not after the deadline ... As far as runs go , twins are leading with most runs scored is kind of a blurred stat because of some high scoring games , take them away and how many average runs per game we would have ...
  16. From the scouting reports .... If he is as good as the reports are hyping , he'll need some fine tuning and development in pro ball , starting with high A this year and again starting in 2027 and move quickly up to AA to AAA and debut in 2028 ... First he has to be signed , the twins will be paying alot of bonus money to find out , get him signed quickly ( NOW ) and playing as many games to finish out the season to get acclimated to pro ball ... I hope the hype and scouting are correct and if they are a 2028 debut is very possible if all goes well ...
  17. My biggest surprise that the twins are so so SO SO close to 500 mark at the all star break ... As a player on defense and offense Kody Clemens has been a great surprise ... Pitching Bradley has been a surprise from what we saw last August and September ... Honorable mention , larnach has a good offense going this season ... Caratini and Jackson filled in nicely for the injured jeffers , before the jeffers injury I thought they were just so so , they stepped up their opportunity ...
  18. First the twins need to sign him, once signed get him in high A pro ball , AA and AAA in 2027 , promote fast , college player shouldn't take long with the tools everyone is hyping on ... I'm sorry to say but with the imminent strike or MLB lock out for 2027 , Jenkins and Culpepper are not going to be added to 40 man roster or promoted in 2026 , if they do that these 2 players will sit during the strike and they need to keep honing their talent in the minors until the strike has ended and then promote them to the major leagues ... Lackey with his tools and a fast riser should make his debut in 2028 along with Houston ... Because Lackey is a catcher and come through the system fast , elite catchers are hard to come by , they are or should be in control of the entire field when on the field ... If he signs I would rank him #1 ...
  19. These players that have once played for Detroit have been good at defense , Clemens, Kreidler and even Castro who is with Rockies now ... Did I miss anyone???
  20. I was traveling and when I heard on the radio the 3 draft choice the twins made I had to make sure i heard that right , I went to draft tracker and yep I heard it right , we drafted a second catcher in round 2 , it was a head scratcher to say the least ... Tinney most likely will start in rookie ball as catcher where lackey the more polished catcher will start in A÷ , I've read Tinney's profile and he doesn't sound like a 2nd round pick to me , the tools are weak except for raw power ... Hope they have done better with the comp pick , 3rd and 4th round selections ... Develop him right and maybe he is the one that gets traded ... We've been wanting catching in our system for years and now we have 2 more added to Tait and Jimenez ... It's a head scratcher but I guess the FO finally gave us fans what we wanted more catching ...
  21. Eleven angels left on base , id say that's a good thing ... Twins win today , Taj goes tomorrow ...
  22. not everything has gone right either sam ... we have lost a few more than we have won up till now , struggling to get over that 500 hump ... Gomez and Morris have done alright , Gomez has walked 10 batters already in less than 30 innings ... I remember when a starting pitcher went the whole season with less than 10 walks ... our bullpen has to stop walking batters and stop walking the leadoff hitter of the inning ... Get pitchers that can get hitters out that's there job ...
  23. They were flat at the bottom and flat at the top and in the middle there was no air ... A no Pressure game and we fail against a bad team .... We got them today, never easy for them but they got the win 5-3 ...
  24. Call all you want , we are not a good enough team yet to consistently walk off games with a win that is ...
