    "You are nothing but a troublemaker. I know, because I was thinking the same thing" Haha, thanks Kelly Vance...maybe I shouldn't have said anything! My guess is that the Orioles would have protested the protector when Byron was on first if they felt it gave arguably the fastest base runner in Baseball even the teeniest advantage in stealing a base? They did not so I guess it's OK..... As Riverbrian said, it's a game of inches but it makes you wonder.... Anyway, way to go Buck!!!

    Equipment question: Noticed Buxton was wearing the left hand protector when he got on base today after the walk. Nice steal of second! Looking at the padded protector, it appears to extend maybe an inch or two beyond where his fingertips would be if barehanded. So I got to thinking, how would he be ruled in say a super close attempted steal of third ( or any base for that matter) if it went to video replay and he beat a tag by the tip of the protector touching the base? Safe? Challenged by opposing manager because of the added length of the padded protector? Maybe the situation is already addressed by a rule in baseball? Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Dick and Bert are......so GrandPa MLB? Twins MLB corporate needs to address...... Your future ticket holders are 19-35...not 60+? Dave Flemming...SF KNBR....get!?

    Rosario to Schoop to Castro.... (even though Bert/Dick had the initial call to Polanco..(fart broadcast call...age issues here?). The key play to Twins win......22April2019

    12-7 on April 21st...better than anybody expected. Keuchel/Kimbrel? Pass. MLB semi-elite? No doubt. MLB semi-doubts? No doubt. Fight tooth and nail the next 2 1/2 months, and then be super aggressive at the Trade Deadline... Best way to the playoffs....not reacting in April...good start or bad start.

    Twins Daily Brothers and Sisters: Go check out ESPN.com MLB page and CBS Sports.com MLB page and see if you can find ANY story on the Twins sweep of the Orioles or 11 home runs in Saturday's double header? Answer: Nope If Yankees, Red Sox, Nationals, Phillies, Astros and/or the Dodgers, it would be a greater story than Babe Ruth and hot dogs at stadium concessions? Minnesota will be perpetually dismissed until the Twins win 3 consecutive World Series and then teeth-gnashing grudgingly by National Media... We're off the radar guys....lets do a NORAD surprise attack in 2019?

    Per my Twitter comment, should Byron be slotted in RF going forward? Eliminate Perpendicular wall closures vs Oblique? Twins lose speed to deep center vs the predictable Bux annual IR. WAR maybe -2? Otherwise BB on IR for 1/3 to 1/2 each season going forward with his present position. It's in his DNA to chase-crash on every flyball to deep center. Fine. Kepler = CF; Bux = RF Scary: we have to close our eyes when Max and Buck converge on a ball to deep right-center...... Just my thoughts..... Thanks....

    My question is sincere... Why would Baldelli/Twins allow CLE runners to advance from: 1. Second to Third and 2. First to Second on consecutive uncontested pitches in the top of the 9th with a six run lead and two outs? Why not a catcher throw? Why uncontested? Thanks!!!

    Berrios = 10K Rogers = 3K Two Twins pitchers = 13K.. Color me impressed!

    Kimbrel and Keuchel have flaws that all MLB FO's see...Twins included. MLB ownership will make these guys squirm until 5 days before Season Opener and sign for 1 year deals....Hopefully, FalVine will bypass both...

    For what it's worth, MLBRadio/SiriusXM had these comments re: Minnesota Twins this afternoon ( rare when the even mention): 1. Sano a "bust" and left at that... 2. Players like Kepler and Grossman good but not the type to contend in a winnable Division.. 3. FO should go all in on Robinson Cano.. 4. FO should also go all in on Edwin Diaz.. That was it....

    Followed TwinsDaily for years..glad to join the community! Thought occurred to me today after reflecting on Joe Maurer's retirement announcement. Minnesota Twins have a vacancy at the First Base coaching position. How cool would it be if they were to hire Joe to fill that spot in 2019? Not rocket science...Joe knows how it works...would command incredible respect from both the Twins young studs and MLB opponents? Bonus: get to see Mr. # 7 for many more years in uniform! Do it FalVine! Thanks.. Lasorda_This_Out
