    Dozier and Suzuki both hit their first homers of the year for the Nationals yesterday.

    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!
  3. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, not a good first start for Thorpe. I sure hope there are no injury concerns.

    Also on the Rangers roster is Logan Forsythe. He played third base AND first base in yesterday's game, had a hit and is batting .300 so far. Other ex-Twins with the Rangers in spring training such as Ben Revere and Zach Granite didn't make that club.

    the Willingham/Doumit era ... I love it! That has a much better ring to it than the Punto/Delmon Young era.

    I hadn't thought of that, but I guess that's one possible scenario. Then again, I think what Riverbrian suggested will probably happen, and Austin gets picked up by a team like the Orioles or Marlins where he might actually get some at bats.
  7. Doctor Wu
    Thanks for that info. I had no idea. And I'm a native of Florida!

    The timing puzzles me too. Like others on this board, I'm not necessarily shocked by the move, but I figured the team would at least give Austin all of April to show what he could do ... and then they could put him on waivers. But during the first week in April? Are there pressing concerns with the pitching rotation that aren't obvious to idiots like me that made them want to call up De Jong at this point?

    I'm still trying to figure out what a Blue Wahoo is supposed to be?
  10. 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?
  11. Doctor Wu
    The post would qualify as only mildly annoying coming from a fan of most any other team. But Kansas City? Really? In 2019? That guy must be on some strong drugs.

    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?

    Despite hitting 3 homers in spring training, including a grand slam last week, Pedro Florimon didn't make the Atlanta Braves opening day roster. Nor did Ryan LaMarre.
  14. 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!

    What a joy to see the Twins win the season opener. Congrats to Rocco and his team! I didn't see the game but I was wondering about Polanco at shortstop. I know there a bit of uncertainty in the past week as to whether he'd be healthy enough to start. I know he didn't have a hit (one of several Twins who zeroed out today) but how did he look today overall?
  16. Doctor Wu
    I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but my first thought after reading the headline for this article was: What are Twins doing now? Are they doing another Pat Dean and bringing back another marginal pitcher like A.J. Achter? And then I saw the part about him being a college coach. Whew!
  17. Doctor Wu
    Baffling hitters is a highly desirable quality! I sure hope he can continue to do that during this season. So far this Harper story has been remarkable ... and fun.
  18. Doctor Wu
    Schoop put up good spring numbers but didn't seem to catch much buzz in the press or on this site. Maybe that's a good thing. Sneak up and surprise everyone. I hope he continues with the hot bat and puts up impressive numbers similar to 2017. This might end up being the best signing the team made all winter.
  19. Doctor Wu
    Yesiree. The fact that we got anything for Reed is a bonus. That said, don't be surprised if Reed ends up starting for the Giants and makes the All-Star team. Ouch!
  20. Doctor Wu
    The other option is letting Gonzalez play more in the outfield too. Frankly, I think he's a better outfielder than an infielder.
  21. Doctor Wu
    I know it's only spring training, and he hasn't had that many at-bats compared to other players, but I'll feel a lot better (oh, that pulse rate!) when Gonzalez starts getting some consistent hits.
  22. Doctor Wu
    Agreed: great article. I am especially intrigued by this bunch of no-name guys showing good stuff in the bullpen: Harper, Morin, Guilmet, Nicolino. I'd much prefer to see a couple of them go north with the team instead of guys like Reed or Magill.
  23. Doctor Wu
    Wow, I didn't realize it was that bad for the minor league players. Especially surprising was the part about not being paid during spring training and pre-season time. Unless you were a bonus baby I imagine that the minors are a tough road to navigate..
  24. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, that Gary Matthews Jr. deal was a stinker, and totally perplexing at the time, and even more so in retrospect. But I would rate Hicks as a much better all around player than Matthews.
  25. Doctor Wu
    I think all of us Twins fan would agree with that underlined part! Bad luck striking the Yankees is good news!
