Ryan Costello, Twins minor leaguers who died in New Zealand.
-
I’m wondering this, too.
-
My guess is ramping him up but they’re running a pretty solid L/R mix tonight so that might be part of it, too. -
The Twins needed to put the White Sox in their place out of the gate and they’re off to a good start.
-
No, traditional ump.
-
Garver became superhuman overnight and I don’t understand how that’s even possible.
-
Apparently Hill screams F bombs every time he misses a pitch and I’m sad I won’t hear it.
-
Rosario draws the first of the four walks he’ll draw in 2020.
-
This is fun!
-
Sox infield looking good tonight.
-
I like the way this season is going so far.
-
Yeah... I admit I didn’t see that coming.
-
Baseball!

Actually, an indication of randomness is that the Twins *haven't* won a postseason game against the Yankees in a time period spanning three managers and dozens of different players. The odds of that happening are very low, which is why the Twins currently hold an MLB record for postseason ineptitude against a single team.
-
That’s not how randomness works. One can flip a coin 20 times and get heads every time, it’s just very unlikely to happen.
-
One upside to all of this is that it’s highly unlikely the Twins and Yankees face off in the first round. If they do, that means something went pretty wrong for one of them.
-
For the record, I’d be more okay with this idea if the opening series was five games. The more games, the more likely the better team wins out.
-
They had to win eight games, not two. The Yankees lost a series against both the Tigers and Orioles last season. The baseball postseason is worse if an elite team is knocked out because they lost two games.

Driving Toward Diversity
Brock Beauchamp replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Start out? No. But kids, especially the elite athletes, begin to decide their future path through high school and into a sport as young as 11-12 years old and start to play on roving teams, attending specialized camps, etc. And if you offer a child a path that caps them at $1m versus a path that offers them literally 20-30x that amount of money, which direction do you think their parents will steer them? Take that money from MLB salaries, not other draft picks. The point is to encourage kids to play this sport, not discourage them. -
It’s not about overlooking anyone, the problem is the randomness of baseball. The best teams in baseball should not be forced to roll the dice on three games in a sport where those best teams win only 65% of their games.
-
What I hate about this is that if the Dodgers and Padres played ten three game sets, the Padres probably win 3-4 of those series. A team like the Dodgers should not be put in the position of losing to a team like the Padres in the postseason. Hell, if the Yankees play the Orioles in ten three game sets, Baltimore wins at least once. That’s not the kind of postseason I want to see.

Least Favorite Twins Announcer
Brock Beauchamp replied to shortround81's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I heard a lot of Carneal growing up but once I moved to LA and heard Vin on a regular basis, I realized how there was a level of announcing beyond anything I’d heard before and haven’t heard since. Vin Scully was the greatest announcer in the history of sport, full stop. -
If given ten chances, the Orioles could beat the Dodgers two games out of three and advance one or two times. This is embarrassing. The only legitimacy of this season was the postseason; that the best teams would have to win 5-7 game series and advance, just like they do EVERY SEASON. They've taken all that away.

They have taken a season that already has questions, but had a postseason that would at least give it some merit of legitimacy, and blown it all into a complete bastardization of what baseball is supposed to be.

Driving Toward Diversity
Brock Beauchamp replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
This is such a deterrent for anyone to ever enter the MLB draft. If you’re an excellent baseball player out of high school, you’re likely an excellent football, basketball, maybe hockey player, too. We need to incentivize playing prep baseball, not create a wall that prevents elite athletes from thinking about baseball as an option and instead pursuing another sport.
