    My favorite jersey does not currently exist. The best home uniform, which should be worn 81 times every regular season, is the cream pinstripes of the original team except that the very ugly 1960's script would be supplanted by the 2010-vintage "Twins" script that is currently used on the white pajama home uniforms.

    Not the power blues, for sure. Nor the reds.

    I'm in favor if it but only with these two provisions: One, there must also be a clock on the batter getting both feet in the batter's box (and the pitch clock will not start until that happens). Two, the pitch clock (but not the batter clock) will be turned off when there is a runner on base.

    I'm glad there have been no ignorant posts about it being Ryan's fault that he let that ball hit him like there were when Buxton suffered a broken hand.
  5. Nine of twelve
    FTFY.

    It's hard to tell, but I assume you were joking. What he did was OK from a business standpoint for an unaffiliated minor league team. Since the roster is made up of has-beens, never-wases, and never-will-bes you have a very low payroll so you don't have to attract many fans to cover expenses. This also means you won't attract fans who want to see quality baseball so instead you market to people who are willing to pay to see a pig as a mascot and other kooky gimmicks. Your win-loss record makes no difference. None. This would never work in the major leagues.

    When there is an infield fly the batter is out and the runners can advance at their own risk. The thing about that in this case is that it removes the force play at third and second. On the play neither runner was tagged out so they should have been placed at third and second.

    Can't these guys hit anything other than home runs?

    I've said this before and I'll say it again regarding replays. The official deciding the replay should not know the call on the field. The official would rule safe, out, or inconclusive. Only if the ruling is inconclusive would the call on the field stand.

    This is Polanco talking to the first baseman after that tag. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=0w-HpBPJC1I&list=RDAMVM0w-HpBPJC1I

    Interesting that Perez was in proper position to back up the throw by staying at home plate.

    See how you like it after your foot is stepped on by someone wearing spikes.

    Merrifield could have avoided spiking Sano on that. Shades of AJ Pierzynski spiking Mientkiewicz. Or was it Cuddyer.
  14. Nine of twelve
    I'm starting to think that we should put him there next opening day and see how it goes.

    Pineda is in the center of the infield, so he doesn't contribute to a tilt. Now, the infield sinking in the center...

    If Buxton is not successfully extended then Falvine needs to have a big-time win on a trade.
  17. Nine of twelve
    FTFY.
  18. Nine of twelve
    And Polanco is top ten during the course of the last month or so.
  19. Nine of twelve
    There is no better position player in the major leagues than a healthy Byron Buxton.
  20. Nine of twelve
    Even that is borderline.
  21. Nine of twelve
    OK, as long as it's not I❤️NYY.
  22. Nine of twelve
    This is essentially the same question I usually pose to those who want to fire Baldelli. It's very easy and simplistic to advocate for a firing of those in charge. What is far more difficult and far more important is choosing the person to take over. Do not fire or non-tender Falvey and/or Levine unless someone better is already lined up to take over.
  23. Nine of twelve
    My guess is that Falvey's contract will be extended before it expires, and my secondary guess is that Levine will stay unless he gets an offer of an effective promotion to move to another franchise.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Keeping in mind the state where this team is based, this makes sense. (And not fashion sense.)
  25. Nine of twelve
    Two good and insightful points. Regarding Balazovic gettin pulled, we must keep in mind that the purpose of the minor league system is to produce major league players, not necessarily to win games and certainly not to pad personal stats.
