Great Interview with Alexi Casilla (Lots of Game 163)

[Seth Stohs]

Tyler Boronski posted a terrific interview with former Twins infielder Alexi Casilla. They talked about a variety of topics including:

 

• Being traded from the Angels to the Twins
• His time with the Twins
• A lot on Game 163, the atmosphere and his game-winning hit.
• Playing for the York Revolution.
• He'll be playing against the New Britain Bees, whose manager is Stan Cliburn.
• Playing in the Can-Am League.
• "You are here, but you don't want to be here."
• Playing with Mauer-Morneau.
• Favorite ballparks, players, etc.

 

It's a fun 10-minute interview... The most interesting part... Was Fernando Rodney tipping his pitches during Game 163? Find out here...

Previously, Tyler had posted a Q&A with Joe Benson.

Great stuff indeed!

 

How about praising the manager and coaches of the Orioles without giving a single tip of the hat for Gardy & Co

Pretty fun.

He had some really big hits for the Twins.

Career  3.9 bWAR is damaged by the fact he had 6.0 bWAR for the Twins in 4 of his years here.

Hope he saved some of that $5 million he made.

And best of luck to him! He's only 32 years old.

Always a favorite of mine. So streaky as a hitter, pretty doggone good at second and he holds the Twins' single season record for stolen base %.
