ok

when you wait a year and a half for a guy to get his swing back and he's such a likable player that does not constitute someone. you keep throwing out there. his swings don't look good. Mr. arcia is really doing the job. He's the veteran with the experience. and please let's don't let Bowman get away into free agency today. he just struck out the side yesterday. 1.69 give the guy a chance. do we have a spot we could move? somebody I think so. let's get Arcia in the lineup. I think Lewis batten average is about the same as Wallner when he was sent down. or we can just keep watching eight guys get in scoring position and can't score any of them. Base is loaded first. inning can't score anybody. who's not seeing this that makes these decisions?

what about Orlando Arcia??? honestly, I don't care about his age. whoever the player is if he's performing that well. hasn't lost anything much except at shortstop. the guy can still play defense at 3rd and second. why is he not up there? we have people that can't hit the ball at those positions.

The twins have have until tomorrow with Bowman who is pitching quite well. I need to move somebody because we need a reliever who can relieve. well the other topic of Mr. Lewis after a year and a half of futility he needs to go down and bring up Arcia who is wasting away at AAA.

My heart sank when right at the end varland was gone and a falvey said we love Louie but it was a deal we couldn't pass up. he ruined the team with his horrible mistakes at the trade deadline except for Bradley. now ownership is going to keep paying the bills and not reinvesting any money into the team. just picking up released players and this could go on for several years. the team cannot survive in this crazy money environment the way they are operating things. 60 years being a follower of the Minnesota twins and it's getting worse than ever. second base and third base currently need to be put back into AAA and I think we all thought he would go down too. but he's doing well. Right field needs to go down and there are people who could brighten our days a little bit when it comes to baseball in AAA.

Yes this is the message they all made sense but this one really does. have been wanting to see Bowwanting to see Bowman back on the team all season and they keep picking other people or picking up somebody else. now they can show how stupid they can be when it comes to relief. pitching before somebody else gets him because he'll get picked up quick. he has no reason to stay with the twins knowing he has other job our opportunities coming.

Fundy has a 2.81 era. that is a really good era. I'm not sure who on the staff can beat that. most of our relievers aren't even close. Rojas yesterday somehow overall based on runs aloud had a good game but my God he can't find the plate. his pictures so many of them are so far from the plate area. they wave off away and I was surprised he only had three walks. He's going to have a lot of 3-2 counts if he doesn't get control. but if this guy can control himself, he will be incredible. he threw the ball into center field. OMG. I'm sitting here talking to myself. somebody show this dude how to get the ball inside the strike zone before you stick him out on a major League field. I think Rogers has to do a lot worse even though he's doing terrible to get sent away anywhere. he's a special young man for the Minnesota twins so they're going to try hard to keep him.

Yes, that would be correct. I was just trying to get somebody at third base in place of Lewis

and also Arcia former All-Star hitting 310 with power. I think third base would be a good place for him right now. what are we waiting on? currently at third we're in a over one year funk. send him down to help him out. get it back or but not be be at the major League level. trying to get it right. we need production.

I have a thought. is Bowman a major league pitcher in AAA with an era somewhere around 3 is not brought up but instead Klein is with an era of 7? it's not often you need to bring a guy up with a 7 era in AAA to the Major League level. if they had just kept Louie. OMG

Yes, I have been the twins fan for 61 years. My name is Larry. I started this venture because of Harmon Killebrew on and off the field and right up there with him was Rod Carew and Tony oliva. what has really been disappointing. this year is okay. let go all those guys try to come into these prospects. I think two trades were good. the rest I'm not sure but I can say if you had just not traded. Louie. there was a former GM on the air talking about. well we love Louie but we couldn't pass this up. well you could have. you left the bullpen in shambles and you knew it wasn't going to come out of shambles because nobody's going to pay anybody any money. well everybody gets crazy money even if they're the lowest paid player. but when it comes to magically sports, the incomes aren't crazy enough and we all should boycott. everybody, let's just keep following our team. realize this is a business the players play for who pays them and where they're traded to. it's just some mystique about it. if they have a twins uniform on then I'm going to be hoping for the best for them.

with the others they went before him and was like 5 seconds left. they took away their only chance they have some kind of relief pitching this year, especially at the end of the game. if we can actually hold a lead. The guy's a superstar oh we love Louie but we couldn't pass this up. well you sure should have. now we have no full pen. we have no chance for a winning team and the starter should all want out. we can't get a win because nobody can keep the runs from coming across once the starter leaves. this is ridiculous. twins fan nearly 60 years. never seen anything this stupid.

I have not seen a pitcher Gain more accolades and get on that mound and do so little. whenever I've seen him pitch on TV he just can't do it very well. I'm not out there looking at him everyday you know but I don't see this guy being majorly ready. probably at least 2 years if then. always hope and wrong when I make a comment like that.

Roden and Martin surely make the team.

your first sentence is what I'm talking about. $1 equals $10 today well at $4.50. that's about $45 today. where you going to see that? $45 you're not most box seats around the major leagues I'm guessing is $300 or more. here's what happened. 1976. Andy mesersmith and Kurt flood challenged the reserve clause and they want so a player can't be tied to the same baseball team and some people thought baseball would fail with it becoming a money grab. the players are MoneyGrab people and when the horrible man George stanburner gave Jim catfish Hunter from the Oakland A's $350,000 for one season. of course he took it and that was just the beginning of higher prices that have nothing to do with inflation. by the way, I'm a twins fan because of Harmon killebrew and Tony oliva and rod Carew. these are quality people on and off the field. about 10 years ago. the White Sox commentator Ken harrelson, former second baseman, said the twins are the most respected organization in baseball for the past 50 years. so I've stuck with it but I realize it's a business. I no longer wear if I went to a game. anything identifying the team I like because with the exception of say Byron Buxton everybody's going to play where they get the most money they have no allegiance. this is not high school or college but you know all that stuff. thank you for your message

I thank you for your help but my point just isn't working. maybe it's not working with anybody else either who may have read what I've said. you see I was mentioning Washington and Baltimore. I've been a Minnesota twins fan since 1965. I've only been there once and that was for four games in 1992 so I've never seen the new beautiful stadium in person and never will. I boycott the stadiums all over the country. I won't go to a ball game because of the prices as a whole as a group. I live in the state of Virginia.

absolutely correct. Tom Kelly said for him to become a reliever and he said Mr. Kelly saved his career. he's such a good young man. that means a lot. people will listen to somebody like that

those things are nice and I think I mentioned the $3 game thing but most of the tickets are exorbitant. I mean I looked to see what the prices were just to check up on today's pricing and it's crazy money. there's a lot of seats well over $300. there are seats for $900. there are seats for over. I thought I saw a couple thousand dollar seats but that's in a box with other people. I'm 74 years old sir. I don't expect things to be like when I was 17 but box seat in Washington DC was $4.50. also Baltimore Maryland was $4.50 and in 1991 the price had increased to $12.75. keeping in mind this is the best seat in the house. then 22 years later when the Orioles open the new stadium The price was $15 each year it would go up $5 and the orio's one of the cheapest places to go. let me go the other route. what do you think would be a fair price to sit behind home plate for one game? giving cheap seats is not in that many places that's to get people in the stadium because of the screw-ups that the ownership has done over the years especially the last 2 or 3 years. they still have the best seats at the higher prices. what's the fair price behind home plate? keep in mind that what I just illustrated also includes the rate of inflation and the percentage of increase doesn't keep up with inflation does it? it's like a thousand times more than regular inflation pricing. do you have an issue with a person going out and playing a baseball game and getting half a million dollars to play one ball game? I mean if people are stupid enough to pay that fine right? I know Tori Hunter used to give money for tickets for inner City children because they're not going to get to go otherwise. because baseball has the most games, the most, any ticket should be the best seat in the house. in my opinion, it's right to the right hand side of the umpire behind the plate. $50 football on the 50-yard line down low since there's only 10 games at home. I'd say $300. but I think that's suite now that I recall is $5,000 for one game in Minneapolis. I don't know how many people that is. I was in Denver, Colorado about 20 years ago. well, whenever the stadium open soon after they had waiter service behind home plate and the ticket was $125 national basketball association behind the players. I think that's around $2,000 for one game. I don't care what anybody says. sports cost are insanity and what the players make is insanity and they would have no problem playing for 10% of what they make when they are the type paid players which is 30 million and up for one season. I don't respect that and I don't respect how baseball is run financially with no salary cap and the players will fight for that salary cap, especially Bryce Harper and the right to to make even more than $30 million. they will strike for an entire season and lose $30 million. so maybe pricing can get where people can come. they don't have a lot of money. Calvin Griffith had to give it up because he funded the baseball with just his business. he didn't have a second high-powered business to fall back on.

Abel makes the opening day roster.

I can't say enough good about Mr. Martin. this guy works his butt off so I love to see him in the lineup. he came back last year and did very well and I expect him to do even better this year. when the lineup comes up every game I want to see him in it. then I'm more interested in watching the game actually.

Prielipp has great potential but he has yet to show an earned run average. that's even ready for AAA. Mr. festa also great potential but his and run average is hardly even ready for AAA. look at what it was at the major League level.

Maybe I say Abel is ready.

The thing with SWR is he'll have a few bad games. yes, but then he has these incredibly fantastic outings and they pull him after four innings. looking at September he was the best starting pitcher. the Minnesota twins had. Joe Ryan who had an incredible run average. his arm got tired so is Iran. run average went way up but it was still 3.42. overall, Richardson did not get tired in September. he got better so I look forward to a great season with him this year

very well said.

let's take a look at the players. all of them. anybody watch the MLB channel? they never talk about pricing cuz they're not allowed to. when someone gets a contract for super millions of dollars and it has gotten way out of hand years ago and gets worse then very few people can't afford to go to a game whether the team is winning or not. but you got Hollywood out there in Los Angeles and they can go crazy money over the tax thing and other teams. their whole salaries less than what they pay overage on the tax. players don't you realize when you make $100 million contract people have to pay for that with extraordinarily amounts of money. I don't know how the fan base hasn't just run from the ballparks because the players are really taken advantage of customers that pay them, especially Bryce Harper. this guy it's incredibly bad his attitude. then you've got probably most of the league would play for 20% as much money because that's more the money than they're probably going to make anywhere else and to get to play a game. there has to be some limits and this thing about wanting to change how long you are protected on the team that drafts you just 6 years. they want to change that to 3 years then nobody would be able to compete with the dodgers except three or four teams that needs to be extended to 8 years. we need to make it a feasible product for all to enjoy even the owners and it not be a money grab. you young people just don't understand this because you don't know when I went to ball games under 20 years old box seat was $4.50. this needs to be strongly discussed on the MLB channel and on all sports channels. not wow. look at that $700 million contract for 10 years. this kind of stuff has to stop and at 74 I'll never see another game but I have a big 70 in television and I can't see them all because they are still blacked out two teams and I'm a minimum of 5 hours to get to a ball game yet I'm blacked out in Baltimore and Washington. to slap the face of the fan like that for years now is despicable. instead of this walkout that's going to happen. why don't it be the fan walkout come September when all the races are going on. everybody walk out of the stadium. go ahead and go to the game in the first inning everybody leaves and nobody comes back until a proper contract is ratified.
