    I didn't know Danny C could throw hard enough to hurt his arm ..
  2. saviking
    We could really use his power
  3. saviking
    Do we need another left handed outfielder?
  4. saviking
    You would think the Twins could try one of them out at first base.
  5. saviking
    Trade Correa and we could lock up Ober, Ryan, Duran and maybe ... O yah. Correa isn't tradable with his salary so we're stuck with him.

    Twins starters that make 4 innings with 2 outs be like: ****, I'm going to get yanked. Only way I could have made it through 5 was if I got a double play on that last batter.

    Would love for someone to solidify first base from inside the organization.
  8. saviking
    Only our best get hurt. It's so much more fun that way.

    Agree, along with several of the veterans we just signed. And this is the time of year I usually rag about Correa and his slow starts along with a small market team investing 36 million of its presious cap for one player but .. there's nothing new tobsay and it doesn't matter anyway.

    It does somewhat, but I get what you are saying ..

    So Dan, I've watched the Twins since 1961.. Please explain why I don't remember as many injuries from the early days as I do today. thx
  12. saviking
    Baseball has an injury problem ...
  13. saviking

  14. saviking

    This is my first year ever I have yet to watch a game live at this stage of the season. I don't even watch play by play on MLB. However I do check the box score every night along with the box score off all our minor league affiliates. Let's just say, I'm riding the bench right now.

    For anyone like me that played sports your body responds to activity differently based on a lot of factors. You have no idea of a player is in sink until he played a few innings and had a few bats.you observe which players has the hot hand. And then you never use analytics to remove him from they game and substitute with someone that yiubhave no idea had a hot hand or not or a hitter, isn't even really warmed up. That's why they call it coming in cold off the bench.

    I am so tired of the Twins thinking they are so analytically smart. Just play the damn game

    Poor Pohlads. First you can't attract a buyer for the team and now you can't attract buyers for tickets. This is when Ibusuallybstart harping about putting 26 million into one player but the rest of the hitters aren't performing either. Starting pitchers has had a few bad games but over they have pitched well enough to be tied for first place. Unless the Twins can pick it up by the end of May they need to bring in a new manager and use him like a defibrillator.

    Bullpen.. that way maybe he has a chance tonstay healthy
  21. saviking
    The way the Twins are playing is what's scary.
  22. saviking
    Personally, I think it's in the water they drink ..
  23. saviking
    Yes, it is. You gave a well-educated response that is hard to disagree with. Mine was my gut response from watching the Twins since day one. My frustration is how we can't seem to keep players on the field over the last five years. Doesn't matter how good you are if you can't stay on the field.
  24. saviking
    We've come a long way from the Babe Ruth days when they stayed up all night drinking, came around by the 3rd inning, and rubbed dirt on any injury.

    There are no statistics you can find on this, but apparently, you didn't start watching the Twins in 1961 until now. Players very seldomly went up and down. The pitchers pitched until they got knocked out of the game, not because they were so fragile there was a pitch count. There were no in-depth training strategies to maximize strength and speed compared to today. Same with the football players of that era. Jim Marshal said he never lifted weights. They just exercised. My best guess is when they walked away at the end of the season; they left it all behind until training camp or spring training. This probably allowed their bodies to heal and rejuvenate. Players are bigger and stronger today but more fragile as well. Crazy dichotomy, don't you think? Do you have any statistics to prove me wrong.
