  1. At first, didn't know who you guys were referring (DB). Who is going to take credit for first penning it?
  2. Apathy possibly setting in….? My guess is that the mods feel that threads have too much negativity. My take as a new comer. The negativity does not seep into the other topics (assuming that criticism qualifies as negativity) on the forum. These forums are some of the cleanest boards I have seen. If there are folks who chronically cross the border, message them and ask them, adult to adult, to raise the quality of posts. Meanwhile, I have thoroughly enjoyed the boards to include game threads. Glad to hear from all of you.
  3. Though I wouldn't have them wear it, this was a classic.
  4. TD/Cody grabs the obvious, glaring failure of the Twins' organizational hitting plan. Stats don't lie. The FO embraces an analytic game plan. Why can't they see, acknowledge, change course and reverse obvious failure? Where is the leadership?
  5. Lewis raised his BA by 82 points to .270 in one game. Schooled the lineup on hustle. Beating out the infield hits a good sign; the nasty tumble the other night seems to have left no impact on his health. Looking at the BP usage, seems Lopez, Winder, Moran and Pagan are left to be closers, as needed. Ryan needs to go long here this afternoon.
  6. Toronto radio said, "Well, we may be looking at the B squad this evening....injuries."
  7. He has had almost 9 months off those legs. He has been a steady workhorse; his wheels may be finished.
  8. He is riding his horses in Arizona and counting the $35+MM that the Snakes still owe him thru 2024. Send Max out to join him where he can count his $7MM that the Twins owe him thru this year and buyout.
  9. If Buxton's knee was scoped last fall and it hasn't healed by now (9 months), it's not healing and it's very apparent... Buxton won't be playing CF this year. Twins are stuck.
  10. Thx, Rick. I enjoy Plouffie on Talkin' Baseball.
  11. I'm on the radio. Don't understand the context. Can you help?
  12. Oh, to have to pitch for this team. They rarely give you an early run or two so you are always pitching being behind, even if it is just one run. You go out inning after inning, pitching with that anxiety hanging over your head.. I never pitched but this has to wear on you, even at the MLB level.
  13. Two thoughts. I will attend my standard 8-10 games, up in the cheap seats. I am interested in ball -- I would be at games in Oakland. Get the picture. But you hit it on the nose. "Boring, robotic baseball..." This team has no persona, no charisma, no pizazz, no character, no soul. If they had IT, there would have been a "players only" (Sonny, put it together) meeting and this weak little brother crap would end.
  14. Seen on MSP/STP Craig's list:
    4th Batting Coach needed. Experience preferred.

  15. Molitor doing color on radio. Good insights which help see finer points of the game.
  16. Arozeren~a was awesome for Mexico during the WBC. Always came thru. From Cuba but took Mexican citizenship.
  17. One "like" just for the delightful metaphor. That and the "monkey's paw."
  18. on MiLB this morning. Quick read. https://www.milb.com/news/the-road-to-the-showtm-minnesota-twins-brooks-lee
  19. Won't happen at 3B. Past performance at 3B suggests that Miranda is a .950 fielder both thru the minors as well as the majors. No reason to speculate on that one.
  20. Just give Kepler a different time for the flight departure. 🤔
  21. Cleve radio says 75-85 pitches will be max for McKenzie.
  22. Baldelli, on radio, said it was a stomach issue.
