I would like to see the batter's ability to catch the ball as it approaches or crosses home plate, toss the ball up and take a swing at it. You know, remember when you were a kid. I think it would be quite interesting, especially the catching of the ball/pitch.
I care if they win. I have a passion for the game, and most of it is directed to the Twins. You don't follow a team for over 60 years without being able to endure both good and bad times. They're like family. And with that comes a fair amount of loyalty. what a shame not to have a passion about something, even if it is just baseball.
With that being said, I probably take losses too hard and take wins too seriously. The Twins don't put any money in my pockets and most people have no clue that I'm a big fan. So, it's the inner self that rejoices or exudes grief.
I have a problem with this intermittent play. If he's hurt, put his rump on IL. If he can play one day and not the next, then his quality of play is negated to a large extent. His masking of a serious injury is outstanding and leads one to think if he's hurting or injured. If he doesn't have the fortitude to play through some pain, then may baseball isn't for him. It isn't all smiles and sunflower seeds.
It's like wanting to be a surgeon but you can't stand for a 6 hour operation.
If we play the Dodgers 10 times, the Twins may win 1 or 2.
I would edit that: If we play the Dodgers 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 the Twins may win 1or 2 times.
Instant replay calls should only take as long as it take to view the various angles. If you have to look and study and assume this or that, you've lost the credibility. It has to be based on actuality, not possibility.
I guess I should have said 'weekend". As a kid growing up in southern Minnesota, I would occassionally work a "weekend" to hel out a farmer who was going somewhere for the weekend. Since I was in school, I was available Saturday and Sundays.
