  1. Sounds like fun. I'll be living vicariously through you folks. Have a great time and, of course, Go Twins!
  2. I'm reluctant to speak in the 'near absolutes' that you use. However, I find it very difficult to argue with the last part of your post.
  3. A nice look at things past, present and future. A bit of a loss as to why people keep mentioning Zebby Mathews, but I suspect y'all are following him closer than I am. Bullpen will be an adventure if no one steps up. Otherwise things are coming together nicely. Go Twins!
  4. Fun article! This, to me, is really interesting. I had wondered last year about this. Average BABIP runs around. 300. Assuming you start making contact with that third strike you should wind up with more hits. Likely not .300 worth, but some should slip through. Some at bats will still be strikeouts and some will be weakly hit. To have such a high % of at bats change reeks of a modification to a coach's approach. Anyone have any evidence or opinion about this?
  5. Festa throws the ball real fast, too. Do we know if Zebby's FB has movement? Even Duran can't just throw it by everybody. Anyone have an answer? Thanks in advance
  6. This may be my favorite post by Stu. It is timely and shows how Congress, if they wanted to, could actually address the important issues facing Americans. We can dream...
  7. For no particularly good reason I am not as bullish on Lee as many here. I'm also not as knowledgeable, so that's good. All in for Lee being an instant asset when he gets to MLB. Just some of the things Falvey has said sounded like he was trying to get another team interested in trading for Lee. Very much hope I'm wrong.
  8. Fun stuff. A fella can dream. Did bring to mind, though: would any team take Keoni Cavaco? If so, why?
  9. Your columns are a great way to start the weekend. Thanks again.
  10. This. Four of Cave's last 5 games he has been put in the game as a defensive replacement. That suggests he's still a better defensive option than some who are starting the games.
  11. All these fans saying "No", and not one has even asked why we would trade for a player with an OPS+ of 86. If this were to happen I would be looking out the window for flying pigs 🐖.
