    Well, that had to be one of the most disappointing Viking performances in quite a while. So much hype and they looked like the worst team in the league. Just to echo a couple of earlier posts outside of the play...Berman and Dilfer are the absolute worst announcers - I hope I never have to listen to them broadcast again. 49ers uniforms are ridiculously ugly - and what do those colors have to do with their uniform. Bears had the same crap - Fire Goodell for allowing that alone - lol! Totally outplayed at the line of scrimmage - not looking at the game tape - but our Linebackers always seemed to be out of position and Hodges looked like the main culprit - Greenway looked slow - I would like to see more Kendricks. Peterson looked hesitant - not sure if that was the blocking or if he is rusty. Don't know what was up with Bridgewater - looked more like a Ponder out there. For the first time I can remember since the Giants-Vikings conference game - I turned off the game before it was over and had no desire to flip it back on. Good news is that this is one game - team has a chance to rebound - will be very interested to see how the team comes next week at home versus the Lions. I guess the bad news could be if we have to watch 15 more like this.

    I would have preferred that the Twins would have acquired another veteran backup after Pinto went down at the beginning of the year, but apparently Ryan is very satisfied with Herrman and Fryer.

    Redbeard makes his appearance.

    Well Twins hit a Grand Slam yesterday and lost - maybe we can turn this one around as well.

    Conger blocking the basepath?

    Nice write-up and analysis Seth! I would certainly do this deal - locking Sano up for his most productive years. He is not a pitcher or catcher so I think there is less risk for a serious injury. Saves about a projected $20M in his 2 Free Agency years. To put in perspective this total cost is $100M less than Mauer's deal for the same number of years.

    Nice comeback! Kudos to Mauer, Sano, Suzuki and Escobar!

    Escobar!!!!!!
  9. wavedog
    Sano does not look like a rookie. Did not swing at balls and went with that low outside pitch nicely to RF.

    Twins score!!
  11. wavedog
    Escobar - nice at bat and now a passed ball. Keep it rolling

    Will we get a run tonight? What are the odds on it?
  13. wavedog
    Good eye Mauer - way to battle for the walk
  14. wavedog
    Maybe more batting practice would have been better than a team meeting.

    Glad Rosario is playing in LF

    Sweet! A much needed double play!

    Get to watch a rare Twins game down here in Texas. Hopefully won't be over after the 1st inning.

    I agree as well that the defense is the most alarming/depressing. I would hope that they are working extra hard on fielding in the next couple of weeks in addition to be open to changes in personnel. If there is not skill maybe a little will can help.

    I don't know if we need to speed up play as much as eliminate useless dead time. My 2 biggest annoyances: 1) Batters should not get to step out of the box and re-adjust after every pitch. 2) pitching changes - why should relievers get 8-10 warm up pitches? Maximum of 2 or none would be fine with me. Does a pinch-hitter get some warm-up batting practice? I don't think we should ever have a clock in baseball although I can see it as a trial in minors for a year to get a behavior change.

    Seth, thanks for this post and supplying the backup information. I have written in my letter. Tony was my first favorite Twin player growing up and he remains my all-time favorite Twin. Since I was left-handed I copied his batting stance - unfortunately I did not have the same success he did - ha! I can acknowledge he is borderline at best Baseball Hall of Fame but I am hoping his lifetime contributions to baseball and his character and integrity push him over the line.

    Great site with a lot of knowledgable insight to the team. Being from Texas this is a great way for me to keep up with the team and the minors. One of my favorite reads is when Parker breaks down the difference in mechanics for a player with the videos - subtle things that I would never catch because I don't get to watch them play much. The other item I enjoy is the minor league daily updates. What i really like is when we have a writer from each minor league town that writes a more qualitative view of what they see in the club. This may very well exist already on the site and I haven't looked closely enough or they are not grouped together but if we had a writer from each minor league town that watches their team play provide a weekly update - I would find that a must read.

    Are you sure it wasn't Nishioka that put the hit on you? Oh that's right - he couldn't hit anything over here in the US.

    Always a possibility. I live down here in Arlington so I hear all the Ranger news. Latest discussions are of bringing Profar up to play 2B and moving Kinsler to 1B so that may pre-empt that trade from occuring. But they have also talked of moving Kinsler to the OF depending on if they don't sign Hamilton which could re-open the Morneau possibility. Given our current state, I would prefer us to keep Morneau until mid-season and then evaluate trade possibilities.
