    Stauffer impresses that inning.

    Nice (and needed) DP.

    He is a cutie. Would make more than 2 of Sassi, though. And I think she's heavy enough when she leaps up on me while I'm sleeping.

    You're a good woman, ChiTown!

    Only in the bottom of the 4th? Geez ... Now I see Nunez backswings their catcher.

    Thanks for posting this. Obviously the Twins are on the leading edge of collecting this data -- at least through this program (there may be others of which I'm not aware). Now the question at all levels is how the info is being used.

    Rhett Bollinger ‏@RhettBollinger · 8m8 minutes ago Trevor May threw with no issues today. Said he's 100 percent after taking a comebacker near his elbow. Good news for Trevor and the Twins! (I know there is a band in there somewhere)

    I don't know about the TC but our weather would give a beautiful night for a ballgame. Warm, no wind, clear skies. Hope that's what it looks like in Minnesota.

    We have had streaks over the last few years where things have looked good. I don't think you can extrapolate anything -- good or bad -- from the last few weeks. It's been 18 games. After 18 games in 2011, Twins were 6-12 and finished 63-99 (Longest winning streak: 8) (Longest losing streak: 11) 2012, Twins were 5-13 and finished 66-96 (Longest winning streak: 5) (Longest losing streak: 6) 2013, Twins were 9-9 and finished 66-96 (Longest winning streak: 5 ) (Longest losing streak: 10) 2014, Twins were 9-9 and finished 70-92 (Longest winning streak: 4 ) (Longest losing streak: 5) All this says to me is that we need to see what kind of growth we see over the season. Will the starting pitching hold up giving the BP time to coelesce? Will the starting pitching receive a boost from the return of Santana? Will the younger players grow or show a lot of regression? Will "replacements" be called up? Will TR make any trades? What magic can Molitor, Allen, Bruno et. al. work with this roster? All of this makes it an intriguing season. 18 games is too small a sample size to conclude anything but as long as we don't have too many West Coast night games, I'll enjoy seeing what happens.

    I'm just enjoying the ride. The one thing the last week or so has given us is HOPE, Those hopes may be dashed this week by facing the Tigers again. But if the Twins can win 1 (or better yet 2 or 3) against the Tigers, those hopes will be rewarded. Since none of us (to my knowledge) has the ability to determine what actually happens with this team, we can just hope they can continue to win at a pace in the vicinity of.500. We can enjoy watching Molitor make moves. We can enjoy seeing some of the younger players make progress (and groan when they don't). Overall, we can just enjoy the ride. And it is more enjoyable when it gets close to .500 rather than under .400. At least if we are in the vicinity of .500, you can hope when you go to the ballpark that you'll get to see a victory that day.

    Preserving suspense by failing to update.
  12. JB_Iowa
    Aren't you lucky???
  13. JB_Iowa
    Your question intrigued me. I think its possible as long as you don't have to have the same number of batters each inning. For example (numbers are batting order position): 1 enter 4 exit 5 enter 7 exit 8 enter 1 exit 2 enter 6 exit 7 enter 2 exit 3 enter 5 exit 6 enter 8 exit 9 enter 3 exit 4 enter 9 exit

    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino · 23m23 minutes ago Molitor said May "feels better than he expected to feel." Did not play catch today. Will probably try Monday.

    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino · 22m22 minutes ago Molitor's trivia note of the day: All 9 spots in the #MNTwins order both ended and led off an inning. "Circles don't lie," he said.

    Please note: The Twins won both games where I did the thread intro. I should retire now with an unblemished record.

    Twins Win! Twins Win! Time for Strawberry Pie.
  18. JB_Iowa
    Whoo Hoo! 2!
  19. JB_Iowa
    Fien lookin' fine.
  20. JB_Iowa
    Thank you, Aaron Thompson.
  21. JB_Iowa
    Free dog bath sounds like a very good thing. Do they ever give free ear washes? I practically have to wrestle with Sassi to get her to let me put "Calm Ears" in her ears. Well, crap, not a good start to the bottom of the 8th.
  22. JB_Iowa
    Thanks, Chi. I now have 98% clear. Don't know what I thought those little boxes were for!
  23. JB_Iowa
    We have to clean the inbox? Geez, 3 years on here and I never knew. Is there a fast way to just delete all (or most of them). All I can find is clicking on each one and then deleting. Thanks.

    Then maybe you can assist Circus Boy. He seems to be a little technologically fearful. I did notice your avatar and I like it. Haven't looked at the Draft Town thread.
  25. JB_Iowa
    Next he'll be bringing Rod Stewart back.
