  1. They need to keep a few more Lewis Thorpe's while exposing a few more Tyler Wells'. It would also help to trade a few more Lamonte Wade's for some more Tyler Anderson's in order to give playing time to a few more Jake Cave's. That should help speed up the exit plan.
  2. It's amusing that one of these AL Central teams is going to get home field advantage in a playoff series.
  3. WPA doesn't work in Miranda's case. He easily led the team in win-probability-fumbled-and-destroyed yesterday evening.
  4. Still rooting for Max Kepler

  5. Huh .... Two Illinois State pitchers (Headrick) in the same bullpen at the same time. Hope one or both can follow in the footsteps of Neal Cotts and win a World Series.
  6. Jack Campbell or bust! (Doesn't have to necessarily be in the first round)
  7. The game tonight will be my first of the season at Target Field. Thanks, Mother Nature. At least I have Delta 360 seats, so I won't have to brave anything, if I don't want to.
  8. " it appears that Twins hitting coach David Popkins has made his mark early " Twins are 28th in team OPS right now at .664. Gallo has 20 PAs. This article is more premature than Virus in National Lampoon's Senior Trip.
  9. Apologies to you Matt, since you were subjected to the same stupid idea as everyone else. I guess someone thinks it's more important to not offend one person than to not misinform a few hundred people.
  10. When did the Pirates AAA affiliate decide to assume the same name as the Cleveland MLB team? Pathetic misinformation.
  11. Varland officially recalled, while Sands officially optioned. https://www.mlb.com/twins/roster/transactions
  12. Not sure this was even worth writing about, but, no.
  13. I don't know if the Nationals are much tougher, but, yeah, that's going to be a doozy of a stretch and real litmus test.
  14. Rocco handled the pitching staff perfectly, imo. If the 5th wouldn't have been so turbulent, Lopez would have finished the 6th. Thielbar was hot, so Rocco gave Lopez the vote of confidence sending him back out for the 6th and then went with the lefty-lefty matchup when it presented. Bravo! The defense was flawless. Not much for web gems, but every play was executed. That's great to see on Opening Day.
  15. Cole Sands is quite popular here at Twins Daily lately. Did Getty Images have a BOGO on his likeness or something?
  16. I don't know if there is precedent for that on a mid-season expiring contract without it being an extension, but that's a good idea. Someone has to trailblaze, I guess.
  17. Regarding Maeda: First off, I'm a Maeda fan, and I hope he competes for Cy Young again this year. Not holding my breath. However ... The Dodgers signed Maeda to that incentive-laden, starts-based contract when he came across the pond. Even though the Twins traded for him and knew what the contract was, does it really hurt them in future negotiations with FAs, if they relegate him to the bullpen? I think the circumstances are a bit of an outlier [TJ, better-performing/higher-upside option, wanting to (cough,cough) WIN (cough, cough)] If he isn't effective in April, Ober should get the spot and Maeda should go to the pen and be the long guy until he, hopefully, gets back into form. If an agent comes along and says "look what you did to Maeda" when answering a call about their clients, they're just being obtuse. If the Twins were the Pittsburgh Pirates, I could see this in a different light.
