  1. Whoever said that must have been a Minnesota Twins fan.
  2. What's that saying... "the more things change the more they stay the same."
  3. I was at opening day the first year. It was a beautiful sunny day....far from cloudy.
  4. Escobar was moved to make room for Sano at 3rd... plus I believed the Twins thought Mauer would anchor 1st for at least two more years. Too bad we don't have Sano at first and Esco at 3rd in 2020.
  5. Use up guys like Berrios, Rogers, May, Duffey until their arms fall off. There is no tomorrow. Oh and a guy like Dobnak is a cool cat, but I would never think about running him out there to start a playoff game. Baldelli had no other options... thanks to Pineda's blunder. Even if the twins won game 3 who starts game 4. "Thin ice" doesn't even begin to describe how few options the manager had for starting pitchers. Another point: who brings in a AAA pitcher to relieve in a tied playoff game. Stashak...in game 1. Baldelli had so few options.... Meanwhile Boone had options coming out of his ears.
  6. The game of baseball teeters in the strike zone. In all three games it was obvious the empire's slanted the strike zone in the Yankees favored. Smoltz mention this in game 2 from the broadcast booth. the best thing that could happen to bring more parity into MLB is electronic balls and strikes... Especially in the playoffs. do you think mlb or any of the networks want to see Minnesota and the Nationals in the world series... NNY is a superior team but Minnesota never even had a chance... It was like the outcome was decided before the games were even played.
  7. It's highly probable, and fits in well with Minnesota sports lore that Cle, TB, and Oak will all over take the Twins. "The Twins will miss the playoffs by one game." - Sjoski
  8. The Twins feast on 3-5 starters...so the central is most likely theirs...How the bats fair against premium starters is another question. This team isn't built for a deep playoff run...but let enjoy a great season.

  10. Stan Williams pulled off a win without throwing a pitch for the Twins. It was in April of 1970 or 71. Before he threw a pitch he picked the runner off of 2nd in a tied game in the top of the ninth. Twins scored in the 9th to win.
