    Off topic but does anyone have DISH? Did you get a lower monthly bill w/o FSN? I did not and think because it is my most watched channel in the summer I would get a healthy refund, not just a couple of bucks. That DISH dude goes on an on about saving us money when in fact they are only saving themselves for now. If you got a refund how did you do it?

    It is fun to go from a team who had hardly any power to this. I always thought that is what we were missing a 1st and DH, never imagined we would get so much more. When I would wish for power at 1st and DH I was mostly told that Mauer and Grossmans (or whoever they slotted in) OBP was just as important. Last year was the worst. We had a lead-off who had a horrible season but they kept trotting him out there. FINALLY!

    Well that was fun! Smeltzer looked good but I don't get to excited because I have been told it takes a bit for teams to figure him out but hooray we got the win! Romos is going to be fun to watch too. Our last minute big name signing on the DL already? Is that just to give him some time? Settle the fans down? But the BP mowed them down today and yes it was only KC but last week it was the Marlins who took them to school. Here comes the roller coaster we have all been waiting for! I think we will be at the top for the most of it. Happy happy fan!

    Not paying $50 for it. I can watch game day with all the fake baseball players and listen to the radio. I do miss watch Berrios pitch and the sluggers slug but I survived the week.

    Hulu did not work at least with the 5.99 or 11.99 per month option. Did not want to sign up for 5 day 49.99 per month option. Using Fox Sports Go and my daughters account login. Thank goodness. I was starting to freak out for sure.

    Dyson blamed himself on the first game. He should have been able to close out a team like Miami and he didn't. Because I have DishTV I have not been able to watch so didn't see or hear any comments from him on last nights game. Two games not a great impression but hopefully in a couple of weeks we can calm down. I am starting to get nervous though. I am not sure what to do about Dish TV? Has anyone switched yet? I don't want to switch because I like PrimeTime Anyway and we have lot's of kids movies recorded but I don't want to miss the rest of the season. Any advice?

    Good guy. I always remembered his name from spending time with a little girl with terminal cancer. He was her idol and did not disappoint.
  8. MABB1959
    I am okay. After we see what they can do I hope that I don't get nervous feeling every time they go to the BP. I am not relaxed or confident with anyone at all. I want a person who can stop the bleeding which has been tough. Or a person that can go in and have a 1, 2, 3 more often than not!
  9. MABB1959
    Help! If you have Dish TV, how long are you going to wait before changing. I do not want to change but I don't want to miss the rest of baseball season. I have been waiting 10 years for this. Is Dish really trying to save us money or does FSN need more money to pay people like the Pohlads. I am so torn. I have MLB on my iPad and can listen. It is okay but yesterday I really missed watching Berrios. What are your or would you do?
  10. MABB1959
    I followed a CaringBridge page for a terminally ill little girl when Romo was in SF. He was good to her. Seems like a good guy. Sometimes you need to think about fitting in too. Also he has playoff and World Series experience.

    Does anyone remember about 5 years ago, maybe more when the Twins wanted Cruz but the other team wanted Hicks.
  12. MABB1959
    Isn’t 17 of 18 saves good?
  13. MABB1959
    We have a great team, just what we have been waiting for all these years. Always excited to watch our #1 starter (Berrios) and then Ordorizzi. For the first time in a long time we have excitement when several players are up to bat hoping for a home-run! With that said there are ex-Twins that are killing it now. I saw Pressley on the AS roster and read his stats! He is doing amazing. Escobar is the best hitter for AZ, Hicks doing well in NY. Even Suzuki is doing pretty well. It is a fun game to watch for sure!

    Mauer is gone so seems Sano is the new one to hate on. Last year there was a lot of disappointment in Polanco and look where he is now. Sano needs at least 2 years with this new coaching staff before he gets the boot. This staff if more in line with NYY or Boston coaching as we can see by all the improvements in this team. Sano has not been her as long as the rest. But since the team is doing so well you would think we could just sit back and enjoy baseball as they are playing. For the most part even when they lose it is an exciting game.
  15. MABB1959
    Mauer had tons of criticism and now on to Sano. That was my comparison. My point is let’s enjoy the season. I think Sano’s talent will come. Too early to keep harping on him like many did to Mauer.
  16. MABB1959
    Is Sano the next Mauer? The one people will love to hate. Goodness we have an awesome team now. Just what we have been waiting for. Can't everyone just enjoy this then to try to find faults and flaws in what is a pretty talented player. Maybe just a year or two and then get back to the moaning and groaning and complaining.

    In the workplace if you knew a co-worker was making 10x more than you and contributed the same or less it would be toxic. It is human nature.

    That pitching was awesome. As dangerous as Buxton's wall crash was it fun to watch back. Looked like a cartoon where the character splats up against the wall.

    I am a believer because they are all believers. We haven't had this type of energy from a team since the M&M days. It may not be roses and HR's every game but this team believes in themselves and each other.
  20. MABB1959
    Twins still don't get much love from MLB.com. Rarely an article on the front page.
  21. MABB1959
    I think it is good competition within the team. They all know there is someone who could take their place. In the past it really didn't matter how well you played because it seemed more like a favorites thing. Now it seems you produce and you play, doesn't matter who you are or what the name is on the back of the jersey. Plus Baldelli has real DH's and power hitting first baseman to choose from. That is what I think the difference is. I always thought Dozier was the leader of the clubhouse but seems he threw in the towel last year. We have more than one player this year that has picked it up. Plus they are having fun, running and dancing off the field with a win most times, better than the heads hanging as they left the field the last 10 years.

    It was just a question. I do not claim to be an expert just wondering if there was a way to make more room for the younger players.
  23. MABB1959
    Can they get anything for Kepler, Adrianza, Cave or Austin?
  24. MABB1959
    Nice that 17 hits in 2 days seem not so good this year. Love it. Last year 17 hits in 3 games would have been something. Gotta love this team!
  25. MABB1959
    I always wondered how different this team would be if we had a true DH and power hitting 1st baseman. Many said Mauer, Grossman and the many DH's we had last year had a good OBP and that should be just as good.
