    Tampa has scored 302 runs, second in the AL, and 3rd in the majors.

    . He's a solid #2 in a contending rotation and a #3 in one of the best three rotations in baseball. He's worth a #50-#100 pick on his own, especially mid-season, when starting pitching should bring a premium. By trade value math, Berrios equals: Deivi Garcia from the Yankees, or Simeon Woods-Richardson + one or two top 30 org prospects from the Blue Jays. (One note - if Richardson keeps pitching like he has to start 2021, he may move way up the Top 100, out of reach for just Berrios. Sub any Top 50-75 pitcher.) Kepler is worth at least 30% more than Berrios due to the nice contract. Personally, I hope the Twins find a 10-game winning streak so we don't find out if I'm right or wrong. If a trade does happen, I'll take the good or bad takes that comes with these predictions (for healthy players). 32 MLB teams? Did I miss something? Has baseball returned to Montreal? If so, you've made me very happy! Go Expos (and Twins)

    Yup, both vaccine and home run over in a blink. Not so sure about the painless part (for the home run) but definitely less squirmy than the Robles inning. If they win tomorrow, it'll be 4-4 in a very tough week. Better than a kick in the head. The Twin who has disappointed me most this season is Donaldson. I live in Toronto, so I'm familiar with MVP Josh. That was a misguided signing. He's past his prime. Still. I never thought his defensive play would be a liability so often. Seems distracted at times. Possibly injured?

    Is this an illusion, or was it in fact the 2 previous seasons? Man, at this point even a 60 game season is way too long. I chuckle at this week's schedule. But I'm an optimist, and predict that they will win a game! (1-7) moral victory....

    Worst record, but not the worst team.
  6. chinmusic
    The 3 players who signed multi year deals (Kepler, Polanco, Sano) are struggling, all three. Is this coincidence? I'll happily eat crow if this comment appears ridiculous 6 weeks from now.

    There are no words. It was stunning. But to be fair, COVID (and the ensuing injured list) has played a major role in the past few days.
  8. chinmusic
    If they change the criteria to batting average, home runs and days spent on injured list...he might have a shot.
  9. chinmusic
    Why not leave Robles in to pitch the 9th? I was surprised that did not happen. You've got to manage the game you're playing. Switching gears... what a pleasure to watch Buxton this year (so far). His confidence and positivity. He even grinned after getting hit! If misery loves company, note the rough start of Liam Hendriks. A little irony there.

    Thanks for this article! So I've got a lot of songs to youtube. A couple that I'm familiar with... I agree with you on Glass Animals. Everything seems quite similar, though Gooey is a good song. Great lyrics, even if they don't make a whole lot of sense. (worked for the Beatles in their latter studio days) Starting from the amazing bassline on "The Chain" would work, I think, tho it might lose a bit of its bite without the buildup. Speaking of time considerations, man I wish extra innings could revert to the pre 2020 season format ie. just keep playing. A 60 game season was such a huge aberration, that having a guy on 2nd to start an inning was somehow more tolerable. Anyway, the article was fun. I'll be listening for walk up music:)

    I wonder if this is the year that Byron Buxton realizes his vast potential. That would be awesome. Here's hoping.
  12. chinmusic
    Buxton, Jeffers, Alcala

    #12) Would that be Jake over-easy?
  14. chinmusic
    That was great! Don't know how I was never aware of that Letterman show. Thanks, David Youngs!

    "By all accounts it appears that Stroman has been a good clubhouse guy and someone you’d want to have on your team." Quoting from the article, I'm not so sure about that. As a Torontonian, I'm familiar with "The Stro Show", and the nickname says it all. Frankly, Marcus Stroman is a shameless self promoter. After awhile, the schtick wears thin. I wasn't sorry to see him leave the Jays, and I'm not even a fan of the team. Realize I haven't even touched on his value as a pitcher, and want to stress that this is MY opinion. Just wanted to throw it out there. I hope the Twins take a pass.

    Cool new loungey intro

    I wonder if the future of friend and mentor Nelson Cruz as a Twin, would influence any decision to move Sano. Probably not. Regardless, I'd like to see them hang on to the big guy for another year.
  18. chinmusic
    Yeah, there is a period of numbness. After spring training was shut down, and we didn't know if or when there would be any semblance of a season, I would watch large swathes of game 163 vs the Tigers in '09. One of the most remarkable games I've ever been witness to. Even though it wasn't officially the post season, it sure felt like it, and the Twins WON! At some point in the coming days, I'll probably refer to that antidote once again. Really good article, Mr Bonnes. I feel your pain.

    I think the 7 inning double dip will be fun/fascinating. It's easier to embrace change when you have no choice Prediction... high scoring and Twins sweep
  22. chinmusic
    Right! Opening day, being late March 2021.
  23. chinmusic
    How about an over/under for wins. Let's hope that the standings (or season) are not dictated by the number of positive tests on any given team. BTW- Last year the Twins hit an astounding 1.89 hrs / game. That rate would put them at around 113 this season, hypothetically. Another big plus for the Twins...universal DH.
  24. chinmusic
    Nicely done. Yes, the clock's running out. I've felt all along that the health protocol issues were being largely overlooked. Sadly, I think that in any attempt at a baseball season (or facsimile) now, the distractions would overwhelm the baseball. With guys testing positive, how can it even be considered?
  25. chinmusic
    Man, I remember being blindsided reading about Ervin Santana's suspension just days before the season was to begin. That Rosario first pitch in the majors homerun with his ecstatic family in the stands was a joyous moment. Tracking Buxton and Sano, wishing and hoping.
