    I feel bad that the saints season is coming to an end before the twin season. Reading the minor league reports is a break from the heartache of the twins? Frustrating. Streak.
  2. mikelink45
    Once again I read the summary and hear about the speed of the hitball. Fortunately, Cleveland doesn't care how hard they hit the ball. They just want singles and runs. And we bring in Irvin and Theilbar in the most crucial game so far this season and expect to win. Come on. Sans was a good call, but Jax and Duran were the obvious players that should have stepped up for us.

    We need to finish the season. Two good pitchers can carry you a long ways in the playoffs, but they only pitch 40% of the games during the regular season. We need more.

    You had me nodding my head correctly until you lowered yourself to say something political in a baseball blog.

    It's a mystery. Who knows what we'll get. Hope it's a I want to add good but who knows.

    I can accept the loss. It's just a fact. But the WPA putting Jax and Lopez as the worst is ridiculous. I never like WPA and this is a good example of why.

    I really feel like it has to be Varland. He has really looked terrible the last two times out
  10. mikelink45
    I really don't see it as a big mystery. The other leagues have stopped and this way they get one more opportunity to pitch. Where they are next year is the big question

    I'm sorry the Keirsey did not get enough chances to show his talent with the twins.
  12. mikelink45
    I am only impressed with players who play the whole season. I don't need half-season Stars.
  13. mikelink45
    Sorry but not doing well in non save Situations is not something to ignore. He has been ok overall but fair below expectations.
  14. mikelink45
    The way these trades went well is if we had extended Gray. Giving up Steer was a big loss.
  15. mikelink45
    I think Alcala is the big story. All season we've been hoping he would expand the quality relief corps, but over and over he has failed. Duran s definitely not what he used to be. For a team that relies so much on his bullpen these are bad issues.

    I like it when the prospect list shows success in each player

    I asked the people in Lisbon what they thought of the twins and they looked around and couldn't see any. I guess our twins are not on their mind, but I am certainly glad to see Buxton and Correa back in the lineup. I'm expecting to hear more news as I travel around Europe so keep this happening. Although I do agree the bullpen is another issue and I just hope that somebody can step up there
  18. mikelink45
    Or confusion.
  19. mikelink45
    Glad to see someone taking the high route - I am leaving town and country for a while, it is up to all of you to cheer them on. I will check in as much as I can, but ready for some changes.
  20. mikelink45
    I have read all the comments. There is nothing left to say. Good or bad, this is a very disappointing time for the team. Having a three game lead for the last WC is fine, but what does it truly mean? The Twins play like they don't care and attendance says the fans don't either.
  21. mikelink45
    Good article. I agree with you. The judgment of what Keirsey can't do is projection without substantiation. He can place center field. He has played well and has time to see what he can do.
  22. mikelink45
    I like it Jenkins, Rodriguez and Wallner.
  23. mikelink45
    Eeles and McCusker could be two infusions of energy and hot bats. After reading the Lewis article I see players like this that are hungry and still filled with energy as the pep pills the Twins need.
  24. mikelink45
    After reading your article I went to the minor league review and it struck me that maybe someone like Carson McCusker who has been hot at every level might be a good addition. Good bat, good attitude. Plug him in at DH and see if he can continue his good season. What's to lose?
  25. mikelink45
    There is no ready solution to this. It really is up to the player to work with the team leaders and find the energy and the drive that we saw earlier. It is still there, but he is letting a lot of other issues, injury recovery, long season, change of position, perhaps frustration with the team or management get to him. If he is healthy, he needs some conversations that will shift his attitude.
