    Sorry, but I have to give a thumbs down on those uniforms. Once was enough.

    It seems like every time I read about Jaylin Davis he has done something good. I know he's not considered a top prospect, but would he be a guy that could fit into a utility role on the big league club, maybe like Jake Cave, in the next year or so?

    Reading this part: Bryon Gandy, the Twins 32nd-round pick out of Lurleen B Wallace St JC Ha! I wonder how many out there even remember who Lurleen Wallace was? That mention really brings back some weird memories. Sweet Home Alabama, indeed!

    First time I have noticed the name Luis Rijo. Hmm. ... some impressive stats in these recent games. What would be his approximate prospect ranking at this point? Is he a pitcher to keep an eye on?
  5. Doctor Wu
    Good to see some positive results from Lewis for a change. But yeah, it's been a struggle for him this year. Let's hope he's shaken off the rust, or whatever the problem is/was, and starts producing like he did last year.
  6. Doctor Wu
    eviscerating indeed. Great word for it!

    No big surprise. And I'll sleep fine tonight. History has shown us that the Twins will almost NEVER be in the running for top tier free agents. We just need to keep doing what we've been doing this year, take chances on intriguing rejects from other teams, and keep hitting the ball like we've been doing. If it takes 12 runs to win these games, let's do it!

    For the sake of their locker room dining table, I hope they didn't grab Paul Prudhomme too!

    I gotta agree with your mindset. I used to get really worked up about which Twin (or in good years, Twins plural) "deserved" to be on the All-Star team each year.. But in recent years I just don't care that much any longer. A good percentage of the choices are totally undeserved, so why worry about it. Sure, it will be nice to see a handful of Twins get picked,but ultimately, I don't care either way. Let's focus on the playoffs!

    Great story! Congrats to Smeltzer on a fantastic almost storybook-like debut (getting a win would have been sweet, but hey, you can't have it all!). But Buxton bouncing off the outfield wall again causes my heart to skip a beat. I DON'T want to see him injured again.

    I haven't heard LaTroy speak on air but I love your reference to Amelia Bedelia and those "I Can Read!" books. We still sell those at my bookshop!

    Good thing we were able to trade Dozier when we did and get a couple of decent prospects. With his poor play so far this year, I doubt he'd fetch much of anything at all at this point.
  13. Doctor Wu
    Yes, the bullpen overuse can become a big problem quickly. But don't forget Harper and Parker and are also looking good, plus we should a couple of guys back from the IL soon too. And Meija is bound to improve, right? I wouldn't have said this in spring training, but at this point I have faith in this bullpen.
  14. Doctor Wu
    After all the anxiety and lack of confidence in our bullpen, I detect more positive signs lately. Might the bullpen even be one of the team's strengths by year's end?
  15. Doctor Wu
    I'm really encouraged by the way that Pineda has pitched so far. What a nice addition to the starting rotation! But ... the concern is how durable he will be this year after his long post-injury layoff. This has probably been mentioned by someone already, and if so I apologize, but do the Twins have Pineda on any sort of pitch or innings limit this season?
  16. Doctor Wu
    That was the first thing I thought about when I saw the insane number of home runs in that game: are they using a juiced ball in that league?
  17. Doctor Wu
    A Twins pitcher throwing 99 mph? Whoa! Be still my heart!
  18. Doctor Wu
    I understand the concerns with the Twins pitching but I think it's way too soon to panic or to start tossing around trade ideas or even free agent signings. It's only April 12, plus as someone mentioned already, the weather's been pretty frigid overall. Let's wait another month and stretch these guys out more and see how the dust settles. I think we have enough in-house options to sustain us for now. Not saying that we necessarily have a playoff-caliber staff, but I see enough encouraging signs (Pineda especially) that I'm not ready to worry too much at this point.

    Royce Lewis helped to get things going in the first inning. With one out, he walked and then stole second, which one was of two steals on the day. Yeah! in this high-tech era of advanced metrics or stats or whatever is being used to evaluate players nowadays, I still love seeing players like Lewis steal bases. Exciting baseball!
  20. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, not a good first start for Thorpe. I sure hope there are no injury concerns.
  21. Doctor Wu
    Thanks for that info. I had no idea. And I'm a native of Florida!
  22. Doctor Wu
    I'm still trying to figure out what a Blue Wahoo is supposed to be?
  23. Doctor Wu
    And then there is the forgotten man. Don't the Twins still have a player on the roster named Miguel Sano? But does anyone really care at this point?
  24. Doctor Wu
    Gotta say I'm torn on this issue. Or conflicted. Whatever the case. I love the fact that Buxton is aggressive and plays with flair and energy ... but I'm still concerned about the reckless stuff, the banging into walls without factoring in the consequences. Not sure if it's a judgement problem or just the way he wants to play the game. His style of play aside, I also endorse this idea of more padding on the walls. Why risk a player's career when a relatively simple fix will reduce such risks?
  25. Doctor Wu
    I agree, Heads up plays, good instincts, he doesn't strike out, he hustles. Sure, he doesn't have the "track record" of the more established players, but I hope that Rocco finds ways to get him in the lineup as often as possible. Can't argue with the results so far, plus we all know he's a joy to watch play. More please!
