    Great interview. And after yesterday's news of 1 pitch of 97 mph or faster last season by ALL Twins pitchers, I'm looking forward to a little heat from some of these relievers. You may not need the most speed to reach the playoffs byr some mix would be nice.

    Or maybe someone quickly reached out in the last day or so to cover their b*tts.

    Reusse's article is lazy. Of course Maddon's record was better when he had good pitching. I'm betting that is true for every manager. The question then becomes: did Maddon and his sfaff contribute to the quality of that pitching?

    Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal · 5m5 minutes ago Sources: Maddon talking to #Cubs as well as other teams. No deal in place with Cubs - yet.

    BTW. I find the way that the Cubs and Maddon's camp have handled this deplorable. Renteria aside, leaking this on the day of game 7 stinks.

    Looks strongly likely that Cubs will annoubce a deal this week: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/24774053/cubs-talking-to-maddon-and-renteria-has-been-apprised-of-situation

    I'll personally be happy if its Lovullo and they just needed Pohlad's stamp of approval. Oh, and we'll NEVER hear all the facts, at least not from the Twins.
  11. JB_Iowa
    Then what were they doing interviewing Lovullo on Tuesday? Your timeline doesn't work.
  12. JB_Iowa
    The injuries are out of the GM's control. Are we sure that the predictabiliity of injuries is out of the GM's control? Is this an area where the Twins are using all available data and analysis? Much as I disdain how Houston handled the last draft, they do sem to be using more anaylsis. (And yes, I know that the data is limited on dratees but that wouldn't be true for international if they were willing to pony up for it.)

    It's also been pretty widely reported at times in the past that the Twins' operating expenses for TF are higher than their responsibility in the Dome but, of course, we never see actual numbers.

    I believe he started is RV trek to his home in California the day after he opted out of his contract.
  15. JB_Iowa
    He hated the movie "Pat & Mike" and can't get past Maddon's resemblance to Spencer Tracy.

    This makes some sense: “We talked with the doctors and everyone involved,” Steil said. “The earliest he could come back would be mid-to-late December, and we just decided that it wasn’t worth it for just a few at-bats.” http://comments.startribune.com/comments.php?d=content_comments&asset_id=280730162&section=/sports/twins&comments=true
  17. JB_Iowa
    Not a darn thing. 15 other teams have reached out to Maddon's agent plus medoa opportunities. Why should they have to contact the Twins? The ball was in TR's & Pohlad's court.

    LaVelle E. Neal III ‏@LaVelleNeal · 2m2 minutes ago Doctors have discovered a fracture in Byron Buxton's left middle finger, No more AFL for him.

    Sigh....failure to even inquire while still in the interview process (Lovullo had yet to have his second interview) is just a slap in the face to Twins fans. You'd think they would at least go through the motions.

    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino · 3m3 minutes ago Person with direct knowledge says there has been "zero contact" between #MNTwins and Joe Maddon's camp since he became a free agent Friday. Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino · 2m2 minutes ago “There has been no contact -- at all,” the source with direct knowledge emphasized re: #MNTwins and Joe Maddon. Sigh....failure to even inquire while still in the interview process (Lovullo had yet to have his second interview) is just a slap in the face to Twins fans. You'd think they would at least go through the motions. Lovullo, please. I can barely stomach the thought of Molitor ... even if he is a different managerial type, he is part of the old guard. The Twins need a change, For more: "Joe not in their budget": http://blogs.twincities.com/twins/2014/10/28/twinsights-contact-twins-joe-maddon-source-says/
  22. JB_Iowa
    Last name Brown or Williams? No need for disclaimer. Berardino raises the question because it just isn't common enough,
  23. JB_Iowa
    No. He made that clear on Twitter. Should have put it in the article.

    William Boor ‏@wboor · 7m7 minutes ago #Twins prospect Byron Buxton, MLB.coms top prospect, just left today's #AFL14 game with an injury. Looked like he hurt wrist diving for ball Rhett Bollinger retweeted William Boor ‏@wboor · 11m11 minutes ago Buxton was taken to clubhouse. Will report anything I learn postgame. #AFL14 LaVelle E. Neal III ‏@LaVelleNeal · 4m4 minutes ago Hearing Byron Buxton dislocated a finger today while diving for a ball during Arizona Fall League. Will post something soon.

    Intentional r? I have qualms about his ability to pitch o a $19 million contract plus a prospect or two-- unless the Jays take Nolasco in return.. We have a tendency to like old rivals -- kind of like the one who got away.
