3 Things the World Series Teams Have That the Twins Are Missing

I'm old enough and smart enough to know a few things and have a few connections in my life to have access to knowledge that few people do. The first is that Nicholas Tesla, and his associates, have knowledge for unlimited power potential that has been subterfuged by political power and and that an unknown and burried author by the name of Walter Olacandor has found a formula that equates to proven WS success in baseball.

Media and MLB ownership has suppressed this research for decades since attempted publication in 1973. And Walter has spent the remaining years of his life working for TMZ and stringing together mad networks or string and and printed articles in his attic like a Hollywood writer working on the next Morgan Freeman thriller.

I'm told he is dis-barred from the writers guild. But dark web research has informed me that his original thesis for a WS championship is based on a team that hits better and pitches better than the other team.

So let us let fun and sarcasm lie and die there. The Twins have no curse the same way the Cubs and Bo-Sox had no curse.

No matter how the WS turns out, it will remain an amazing diconomy how the wealthy battle the frugal. And our Twins remain somewhere in the middle of this battle of have and have not.

I have no answers to payroll, or how to slay the beast. Of course, despite their payroll, the Dogers haven't had the answer since '88. But I DO BELIEVE in trying to build the best and deepest team you can. That is where you get your chance. 2020 didn't offer up the chance we hoped for.

The FO has already stated they are looking to tweak some things. And no question $ play a part. But they do for everyone. But to blow things up and put on dark glasses is ridiculous. There is no secret formula. There is only building the best and most competitive team you can.

This is it. And as many have said before, scouting and player development are the keys to doing so. And it's necessary to have a manager who knows how to make good guesses regarding who plays where and when.

I find the criticism about the Twins losing Hendriks, Anderson, Curtiss and Slegers interesting. But what I have either never or almost never seen is a discussion of the situation the Twins faced when they made that decision.  

In most cases, it was fall with the Rule 5 draft approaching. I no longer have the data readily available as to who was added when Anderson was traded. But had they kept Anderson, they most certainly would have lost someone else. 

Yes, it stings when someone like Hendriks or Anderson takes that next step and becomes one of the better pitchers in the game. But making those decisions must be put into context with what the situation was at the time. Much more difficult than looking at it years later.

This is me now:  Tesla's story reminds me of Dr. Royal Rife. He invented an amazing machine that was curing cancer in the 1930's! His works were suppressed and he ultimately became a drunk. Why do I bring this up? Because I firmly believe that better health for players is like the final frontier for teams to improve their team! To my knowledge, I do not know any team that is using amazing health machines like the Rife to improve the teams health and improve productivity on the field. Perhaps even better is the Life Vessel machine. Who even knows about these types of machines?! They are perfectly legal, but the information has been suppressed.

This seems arbitrary.

TB is also missing LA's superstars and LA is missing TB's bullpen, yet both are WS teams.

There is a ton of luck involved.

- Players have a year where they play above/below average.

- Free agents are a roll of the dice. Consistent performance and age factor come into play

- Minor league players also a roll of the dice. Minor league performance does not always translate to the major league level. Both positively and negatively.

Bottom line is hindsight is 20-20. If we could remake some of our decisions over the years based on what we know now ... we would be in the midst of a dynasty!!

Winning post season games.

Winning post season games.

This is it. Most of the rest is overthinking.

 How about the elusive sixth tool of batting eye?

 

OMG. I can't get the image of Buxton swinging at those Astros curveballs in the dirt out my mind's eye.

Did it just get colder all of a sudden?

I think the ingredients for postseason success are pitching, power, defense and speed in that order. I've said that for a long time. I guess pitching would now mean that there is enough starting pitching and a shutdown bullpen. 

Same as the in the regular season, although pitching is even more important in the postseason than in the regular season.

Another thing I noticed is how much more flexible both teams.  They have versatile players and more balanced line ups. They seem to be able to always have pinch hitters to offset the opposing managers pitching changes. I hope we keep Royce Lewis as a utility player for next year.  He can play SS,3B and CF and if the other team brings in a lefty reliever which we see often we have a pinch hitter that may do some damage. The arguement against is he needs to play everyday to keep developing but seems to me that Marwin Gonzales played plenty this year. I think he should be able to bat more than .211 (Gonzales) or .191 (Adrianza)

We said that about Hicks and Buxton too.

It would be nice if Lewis is ready. But he probably isn't.

Staying healthy.

Donaldson our, Buxton concussion issues, Arraez some leg or ankle issue, Odorizzi, our catchers Garver and Avila. Polanco had ankle surgery right after the season ended.

This whole team has not been healthy since the middle of last season.

We need better players. Bottom line.

There’s a lot of excuses. Staying healthy and being able to play is part of being a good player. There is clearly a difference between the bright lights of a playoff game and some routine regular season game - most of these guys seem to fold (looking at the box scores of recent playoff games isn’t pretty) - and you can’t make the argument that they’ve been running into dominant ace level pitchers.

I don’t think there’s as much luck involved as people think. The guy from the Rays just hit 10 home runs in the playoffs. That takes something more than closing your eyes and getting lucky.

I think the one thing that is continually over-looked with players that left the Twins and became successful after doing so, no matter the circumstance, is that a new coach or manager or fellow player maybe helped them become better. Maybe the Twins organization didn't have what they needed to succeed, no matter what that was. 

I have commented previously about Sano being compared to Ortz. Ortiz may have never become the player he turned out to be had he stayed with the Twins. Honestly the Green Monster turned him into a different hitter but someone probably told him to hit the ball off that wall and he found success doing so. 

It doesn't take much for a successful player in high school or college or the Minors to fail at the major league level if they don't make adjustments or just plain ol' simply don't get the help they need. Sometimes it takes someone in a different organization to find it.

How many Hitters would be great instead of pathetic if they would get 3 hits every 10 at bats verses 2 hits? That could be something as simple as bunting down the 3rd base line when a shift is on. Yet 99 out of 100 hitters won't do it. If your talent is limited to hitting the ball one way and only one way then you are hurting yourself and your ballclub. Players today need to get better and smarter. I guarantee you if Pete Rose or Rod Carew were playing today they'd make any shift put on against them their lunch.
