    Justin's pretty good. Anyone remember Larry Carlton, 1974-75? Will never forget him saying... "Here's a drive to center, and....it hooks foul."
  2. BillyBallLives
    "momentum on the Twins side" ....Justin just makes me LOL sometime.
  3. BillyBallLives
    He included the Gomez pickup.......May 6th is in the list. I think the point is how flawed the overall process is. Even a broken watch is right twice a day. That's the process the Twins are taking in building a bull pen.

    Pretty bad game when the most exciting thing to talk about is what's happening to SWR.
  5. BillyBallLives
    If he hits one more batter, Lawrence has as many "hits" as the entire Twins batters.
  6. BillyBallLives
    CWS just need one more run to get my football score....even though two FG and a Safety technically work.
  7. BillyBallLives
    Nothing a tough hockey player takes 3 to 4 times a game.
  8. BillyBallLives
    Anyone getting the feeling were going to be seeing a really ugly game at least once a week. Think FOOTBALL scores..... 14-3, 17-6 Ready, Set, hut hut

    Takes about a week for it to all play out. But I agree, it all seems mysterious. How ironic if Pittsburg ends up with him. Twins get Lawrence in the deal. What a flipping flip that would be. HEADLINER: The Twins replaced a 25‑year‑old with upside by adding Justin Lawrence — a 31‑year‑old reliever who’s been getting lit up like a Christmas tree.

    Maybe Jeffers has attended an All-Star game, but I know he's never played in one.
  11. BillyBallLives
    Desperate teams do desperate things. Why cut SWR just to bring in Lawrence? -- he's older ( 25 vs 31) -- experience ( 61 career starts vs 0 ) At this point the Twins aren’t building a bullpen — they’re running a halfway house for struggling relievers.

    The Banda-man Can!

    Basically a three team trade. Twins cut Gasper, who gets claimed by the Nationals. Atlanta cuts Brujan, who is claimed by the Twins. Sounds more like Atlanta just turned a 6-4-3 Double Play.

    My concern is when cheap becomes the strategy rather than a complement. Colomé is a perfect example, not because he was inexpensive, but because the warning signs were already flashing red, yet the gamble was made anyway. As Twins fans {assuming one still chooses to be one} we ultimately have to accept how this organization does business, whether we like it or not. After all, this has been standard procedure for 65+ years. So, as rv78 put it: it’s "the Falvey Way" … or the highway for Twins fans.
  15. BillyBallLives
    Definitely an upgrade from Grant Balfour and/or Homer Baily. Don't the Twins have a guy named Bobby Balker in the minors? Or was it, Willie Walker?
  16. BillyBallLives
    My fear is how little it takes to blow Falvey away. Just wish it was a pink slip.
  17. BillyBallLives
    This is the Minnesota Sports riddle of the day for all you Wild and Twins fans out there!!! Q: If Fenton put a Dent-In the Wild… Then what did Falvey do to the Twins? . . . . . . Ans: Falvey flattened ‘em.
  18. BillyBallLives
    You're trying to tell me the Twins have a pattern: hire the talent, then watch it flourish… somewhere else?
  19. BillyBallLives
    Correct me if I’m wrong, but in order for the Angels to get Cody Laweryson, only the White Sox stood in the way. He was claimed quickly, and that alone tells me this could have been a big mistake for the Twins.
  20. BillyBallLives
    The Falvey non-firing was the giveaway in my mind. Any organization serious about contending would have cleaned house after this pattern of mediocrity....It’s like the Pohlads have studied the Pirates’ business model and said, “Hey, why spend to win when we can profit by pretending we’re trying? " It's become painfully obvious has it not?
  21. BillyBallLives
    First, you’re creating a False Dilemma — a “what if” scenario based on a fictional future problem. Let’s bring it back to real life: if Suzuki is doing a great job, the Angels can extend him midseason. Teams do this all the time when a manager proves himself. Second, you slip into circular reasoning: One-year deal = players won’t respect him Lack of respect = bad leadership Therefore, one-year deal = bad Back to reality: player respect isn’t determined by contract length — it’s earned through competence, communication, and leadership.
  22. BillyBallLives
    Kudos for some classic sarcasm....there's always a hint of truth in it.
  23. BillyBallLives
    I don’t see it as an insult at all. The one-year deal just keeps things aligned with Minasian’s contract. If the front office changes, the new GM shouldn’t be handcuffed to a manager he didn’t hire. It’s smart, not disrespectful.
  24. BillyBallLives
    The Twins have hired 4 x-Twins. So 3/4 fit your case. High chance of bad feelings. 1. Billy Martin... fired 2. Frank Quilici...fired 2. Tom Kelly...he retired on his terms 3. Paul Molitor... fired
  25. BillyBallLives
    The article says: “all the stadiums are packed,” but Cleveland didn’t quite fill Progressive Field for the Wild Card Series vs. Detroit: Game 1: 26,186 (75% full) Game 2: 26,669 (77% full) Game 3: 29,891 (86% full) With 34,820 seats, none of the games were sellouts. Call me petty, but almost all “all” statements are rarely true.
