    Capps seems to be mixing in the new splitter effectively and more breaking pitches. His pitches were down and mixed well last night. I'm encouraged.

    In defense of Casilla on the bunt, he couldn't have gotten to first any faster. Hendricks should have lead him, and I'm sure they will have the pitchers and Casilla work on the play before the game today.

    I'm happy for the fans of our minor league teams who are again seeing competitive teams after a few rough years.

    I agree 100%. I will enjoy the season if the defense is decent and the team starts to rebuild. It will be really interesting to see what young starting pitchers if any step up to become starters. Let's hope Liam has a good start!

    I think you are right on MattSaari. Is it wrong to hope that if the Twins keep Nishi in the minors long enough, he may retire? Nothing against him, but based on last year, I can't see any possible way that he will have success for a MLB team. I would rather try to get an Omar Vizquell type guy that will play solid backup middle infield defense and maybe mentor Alexi a bit more.

    He has been really great so far, and I know he will cool off, but the fact that he has the potential to crush any mistake made to him makes our lineup better.

    Target field to me makes a lot more sense than what the Vikings are asking for. I think Target Field was ~450 million and that brings 81 games a year. It's outdoors and we all know the dome stunk for baseball. The Vikings are asking for $1billion for 8 regular season games a year. The the worst part of all: It's indoors!

    I just don't have any confidence in him right now. I would argue that Mays had good stuff and decent control. Sometimes Mays had problems throwing strikes because his ball had a lot of movement. Liriano right now cannot command his fastball at all. I have to think the players aren't feeling very confident on the days that he pitches either.

    If it was Hughes or Burroughs, I think the Twins made the right choice. Burroughs seems to have more poise and maturity, and will be able to handle pinch hitting and late game defensive spots.

    Great game! Middle infield defense was really good. How about that slide by Doumit!
  11. nokomismod
    Great info on the last 10 world series winners. How did they fare in pitching and fielding %? You guys have raised some great counter points. Just hard to watch us string together 5 hits for 2 runs only to see yankees score 2 with back to back hrs.

    I like the Clete Thomas signing. Not because he hit the ball hard twice on his first game, but because he has the potential to hit 12-20 home runs if he plays 120 games. One thing that has been consistent with the Twins teams for the past ten years, is they have ~3-4 guys in the lineup that are quick but have no power threat. This was okay (not great) when the team had pitching, defense, and a couple of offensive horses. I would argue that the front office and Gardy focus on playing players with power potential if at all possible. Maybe this is too obvious or ...

    Did I read that correctly? 4 HRs for Sano already?! Sounds like French is pitching really well. At 26 years old, could he be called up if the Twins need another starter?
  14. nokomismod
    Yeah, I think we need to move Morneau down in the order until he gets his swing back.

    The Final Countdown : ) Awesome win! Character building win.
  16. nokomismod
    Anyone know if Capps is still walking in with "The Final Countdown"?
  17. nokomismod
    Beautiful afternoon for baseball in MN!
  18. nokomismod
    Bourjos is killing us! Nice game for Span too!
  19. nokomismod
    That's a really good point. I was wondering if that was the case. Bourjos must tend to hit balls to the opposite field then.

    If we are in what I believe is rebuilding mode, I would like to see what we could get for Denard Span (AA or AAA pitching prospect maybe). Span has decent at bats, but I would like to see someone in CF with a better arm. Last night Denard had 3 misplays (not backing up Willingham, and letting Hunter gain 2nd base twice). Your thoughts?
  21. nokomismod
    Fun game. I have to admit I was a little worried in the 9th with the Final Countdown not because I have no confidence in Capps, but because we needed that win so bad.
  22. nokomismod
    I'd also think about giving Duensing another shot.
  23. nokomismod
    I was just thinking about SlowRide too. I do wish the Twins weren't so stubborn about certain personalities. Slowey wasn't a great pitcher, but he was affordable and better than nothing.
  24. nokomismod
    Isn't it okay for the team to step back and reload/rebuild. Why retain Kubel, Cuddyer, and Nathan when we all saw that didn't work last year. Let's have some patience. Most of us here were fans back in the mid 90's right? I'm not looking for a 10 year drought in winning, but I don't want a band aid fix or knee jerk reaction either.
  25. nokomismod
    I didn't realize he was straight edge. I thought the Rangers would be in to that with Josh Hamilton's CD issues.
