    IMO all parties concerned will work this out, there is enough motivation to do so. Looks like someone is trying to stir up things up to keep it from happening. Hope that cool heads will prevail
  2. Doctor Gast
    Thank you for that video to get us fired up for 2020. Donaldson is so quick defensively & offensively especially for his age. He did so great w/ runners on base & at clean up w/ ATL., was wondering maybe to keep him there
  3. Doctor Gast
    I believe his future will be bright. I was expecting a great 2019 season from him because of his 2018 was constantly projecting upwards. He`s a solid adult & not a kid so I expect he hasn`t plateaued yet not saying he won`t have a temporary slump. Catching is addictive, a good catcher likes to be the center of the action & hates to give that up. But like you said it`s a very demanding position & all the good ones to continue needs to transition to another position & expect Garver to do the same. Think of the recent past the confrontation of catcher & runner, how disastrous that was even though that was part of the game. Glad to see that change

    There`s a lot of quality college players out there this year, hopefully we will get a lion share. IMO We have a pretty good scouting report
  5. Doctor Gast
    I think you are spot on! Of course you could argue like # 1&2 or # 3&4 but that`s just slight variance of a person`s point of view.
  6. Doctor Gast
    Agree also w/ those of you who like AJ, he gave us some good years & some good players in trade which has paid dividends
  7. Doctor Gast
    Agree w/ you as you said it`s not so much Jetter but what he represents the "D..N Yankees" & all the politics behind it. As Minnesotans we don`t "hate" anyone only the system that looks down on us.
  8. Doctor Gast
    Good news! Hope to get in as many games as possible in a condense season. If the weather cooperate better yet!
  9. Doctor Gast
    Yes, I believe there is a gift of second sight (seer). Being able to see when others seem to be blind. But I didn`t know that it was graced upon Twins 3Bs. Go Twins!

    Being traded to PIT really hurt Chris Archer if Archer wasn`t traded he would`ve continued to plague the Twins for a few more years
  11. Doctor Gast
    Sano is so strong that after the 1st strike he could shorten his swing & be more selective to cut down his SO.
  12. Doctor Gast
    Agree the `87 Twins - Cardinals WS was better because Twins were under dogs & finally MN got the monkey off their backs was huge. Like the Twins winning the Yanks now in post season
  13. Doctor Gast
    I`m impressed w/ the baseball culture in Taiwan & their desire to keep it
  14. Doctor Gast
    Wish them the best. Keep holding on! The BP is stacked but I hope eventually Jake can make it. & of course see Janie in the Olympics in Toyko. It`s a shame that baseball & softball are not a staple in the Olympics
  15. Doctor Gast
    Depending how intense the season will be, hopefully it will be quite condensed. That way a lot of our MLB ready prospects (Lewis, Kiriloff, Larnach) will have an opportunity to get in some valuable time. Although Kiriloff & Larnach are closer to make that transition, Lewis would be more needed as a mid fielder bench. Although I believe Gordon will improve in AAA, I don`t see him making that transition to the bigs. We have an abundance of MLB pitchers w/ a condense season we could utilize all of them. We have a great need for future aces so our focus should be preparation to that goal, not shoving them in the BP. Hopefully the BP will live up to their recent success where we don`t need them.

    IMO the game should determined by the fans not by those who want to push their agenda. Some change is good, I`m open for a electronic ump. I`m open for 3 leagues but how are they equitably determine the ones to be in the WS?
  17. Doctor Gast
    Thank you pointing these injuries out. Just think of Killebrew 100% what impact he could`ve had & Camilo Pasqual 100% facing Sandy Koufax & if Pasqual had won (which he could have) that would have changed history & made that confrontation even more electrifying!
  18. Doctor Gast
    Still hope that MLB would scrap this idea that we have to wait to start MLB until all teams are able to have games in home town stadiums. Longer we wait more complicated & less equitable it will become. The more responsible areas shouldn`t have to be penalized for the lack of discernment of others. Start games in AZ & other states that are open & release the teams as they are safe to have games. Pure & simple & cut the political BS. Also release the fans as the safety can be controlled & condense the schedule as much as possible. I believe if we were infected more at the NFL timetable & not MLB we wouldn`t have having this BS, it`s all political. I could live w/o NBA, NHL & even NFL but it`d be harder for me to live w/o my Twins.

    I believe Polanco was played too much last year, along w/ Kepler & Rosario. Adrianca should be played more often to give Polanco a break. I agree Donaldson will relieve much stress from Polanco & Arraez. W/ these 2 factors plus self improvement, IMO Polanco will greatly improve
  20. Doctor Gast
    Thank you! Thought he was older, maybe because he had a long & productive career before he came to the Twins
  21. Doctor Gast
    Big Sexy stole that Cy Young from Johann but no matter. How old was Jim Thome?
  22. Doctor Gast
    Yes, Toronto makes more sense than Atlanta. Of coarse a bad option is better than no baseball but this last option is more political. Areas like NYC which didn`t take the virus serious & the cases exploded which IMO was a big factor in shutting down baseball. These areas will take longer to be ready for MLB, they want to delay baseball for the whole country until they are able to have home games. This plan also draws out the season that MN will have to unfairly play their last games in neutral stadiums taking away home field advantage, so why do more responsible areas like MN be penalized? I think the AZ plan was to appease those who didn`t want any baseball. I still believe it`s still a viable plan to start earlier & finish earlier (to be sure the season would be complete if something flares up when the weather become colder). As some areas would be ready before the July 2 due date so as not over strain AZ. So I hope the AZ plan isn`t totally scraped. AZ plan could be a temporary plan until the teams are liberated by their states

    Thanks Matt for giving us an article about current baseball; not uniforms, what players do w/ their free time or etc (I was getting very bored). Getting back to Bauer, I probably don`t like his music or agree w/ everything he says or the way he says it but that`s not important. Giving him the benefit of doubt that maybe he was distracted last year, he`s a great pitcher. Besides that he has a great analytic mind about pitching. Wes Johnson is great but he`s not a god, the Twins have a lot of young pitchers that need their skills honed & some a 3rd pitch. If Bauer can help them, he could be a key to that ace factory I`m dreaming about. I believe he`s motivated to be a Twin.

    How dare the Chinese & South Koreans have professional baseball & have fun, don`t they know that there is covid19 outbreak! Maybe they love their baseball more than we do! Where they made up their mind right away to responsibly have baseball. Here again I`m not saying not to take covid19 serious & not be responsible. From the beginning I`ve advocated to take it serious but we can`t be controlled by fear
  25. Doctor Gast
    It seems this re-structural stuff will create more problems than solve like the DH. I don`t want to see an asterix saying due to covid19 these championships & post season games don`t count
