I've stocked up on Scotch.  It remains to be seen whether I have supply enough for the season or a month...

Scotch Whiskey?

I like the rotation but feel the bullpen needs at least one more legit arm. Excited that we should have a better defensive club. I can see the lineup being solid but can also see it struggling to score runs so we will see. I really hope they can play some clean baseball this year. There is no reason with a pretty experienced to see constant bonehead plays like last year. Bottom line: Twins will win 84 games and we will be lamenting that, once again, the bullpen wasn’t good enough. 
Regarding the new uniforms etc I couldn’t care less. Much rather see clean winning baseball.

One more thing I’m looking forward to. Watching Correa backhand a ball in the hole, turning a firing a seed to first. Love watching that guy throw.

I wondering just how long I'm going to be irritated that Arraez is no longer a Twin.

Because as of today, I still am...

Adam,

Shame on you.  You should know better than to post an article portraying positivity.  This is Twins Daily, the home of doom, gloom, and complaining about every which way the wind is blowing.

This article should have been written by Randball Stu.  Every body here knows the front office needs to be fired, the manager needs to be fired, every FA signing is bad, and everybody needs to be replaced by somebody in the minors.

Shame on you for trying to be positive.

The way the injuries are starting to pile up, I may need a bit of Bacardi for my Kool-aid 🙄

I can't go with you on the uniforms. They're brutally (in the sense of the brutalist school of architerure) awful.

You have bought into the hype the FO is feeding the fans. New uniforms don't make a winning team. Performance does. Will we see improved hitting? Manufacturing runs? Better base running? Throwing to the correct base? Better managerial decisions? Longer starts by pitchers in the rotation? A long relief pitcher or two to take the pressure off the bullpen? Improved health? The roster is full of players with health issues and Rocco hasn't proven to me that he's learned anything from his past mistakes. I don't drink their Kool-Aid. I want to actually see it happen first.

I want to actually see it happen first. That comment in your post to me is the Biggest question mark --He walked into a team with the Gift of the 2019 BaseBall  that now years later is proven to the Boom in homeruns, ive been saying he got Spoiled to power game and since then i have seen Zero adjustments, Well Rocco this year is The Test, with all the rule changes to bring Speed and intelligence , Past couple years results are not gonna be okay , its the Managers job to relate and get the players and base coaches to play Smarter , , IM looking ahead like alot of us with Spring Fever to see how the team plays, And April is a bear of a Schedule, From here on we need to see what your showing us You can be more Flexible instead of strictly going by the what the Computer says,  GO TWINS!!!!

Don't ever take away a Man's hope. That may be all they have. You can't touch mine.

Better that than the Jim Jones way some posters want to make it for the rest of us. Kool-Aid for the optimists, Jim Jones for the cynics and pessimists, Bacardi for the rest of us! 🙂

I agree with your opinion Mr. Neisen, I am also drinking the Twins Kool-Aid. I look forward to hitting up some Twins wins this season with you.

In the home of 3m?

 

Scotch tape, please! 

 

And i think, to be frank, it would be an unsatisfactory replacement for bug juice (what i grew up calling cool aid... blame summer camp) as the sticky residue is part of the appeal.. I guess in tandem? No, i think not...
