  1. For a good part of the game last night, it appeared to me that a number of guys on both teams were less than interested in playing that game. I can't say that I blame them, but.....
  2. Assuming the Twins win the division and get the Yankees in the playoffs, I could see Cleveland beating the Astros in the other division playoff. I am not sure I would want to face that team. They are on fire.
  3. Give him some low pressure outings and see what they have.
  4. UC is an incredibly difficult condition. My son has it and suffers greatly. You never know when it will flair up and how debilitating it will be. Stress seems to be a contributing factor as well, so a pennant race plus the impending birth of his 3rd child cannot be great. Hopefully, he can get it under control enough to continue and be successful.
  5. When the Twins went up by 3 in the 8th, I was looking for Rocco to put another reliever in so Rogers could be used next game.
  6. I'm not an analytics guy and never will be (too damn old), but from the eye test, Sano looks like a black hole at the plate and a "hit or miss" 3rd baseman. If he was consistently good at one of the two he would be fine. But sadly, I do not see that right now and doubt he will improve any time in the future. I keep seeing people say they don't want another Ortiz situation, but if the team does nothing and continues to get the same results it is an unforced error. Either fix him quickly or send him down the road.
  7. Sano appears to have totally recaptured his tendencies at the plate from previous years. HE IS BECOMING A RALLY KILLER ONCE AGAIN.
  8. I can't figure Romero out. He seems to be pitching fine in Rochester but can't find the plate in the bigs. I sure hope he can figure it out.
  9. Tortuga's hitting has seemed to cool off lately, as well. I wonder if he could be sent down when Garver comes back.
  10. Did anyone else enjoy the banter between Kaat and Blylevin last night? I'm not a Blylevin fan but the talk between these two old team mates was great. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
  11. With the questionable starting pitching the Twins have, where could help be? Looks like Gio G. is going to opt out on his contract with the Yankees. Is he someone the Twins could use? After a bad first start in AAA, he looks to have righted the ship.
  12. MLB would have a wet dream thinking about all the Red Sox - Yankee World series possibilities.
  13. I am looking forward to tomorrow to see what they accomplish.
  14. What I see is a farm system with the talent to not only provide a solid future for the Twins by itself, but also with the talent to acquire MLB players to improve the current roster as needed. What a change from the past! Thanks Seth. Great insight as always.
  15. 1B/OF - OF/1B sure look like a logjam forming. Maybe some trade fodder here. Great stuff Steve. I really enjoy this.
  16. It's fun to see an actual MLB roster sent out versus what we have seen in years past, isn't it?
  17. I think we will see a 50/50 split at catcher. As the season progresses, we may see more Garver and less Castro with a sprinkling of our baby panda. Castro's health seems to me (with no real knowledge) something to keep an eye on.
  18. As a former season ticket holder, I can confirm your take. We had a group that sat behind us one year that drove us nuts. The whole game the guys would be jumping up and pushing to get out and back in to their seats (pushing everyone around them). Their wives would be doing selfies the whole game while discussing loudly anything and everything except baseball. We knew all about their kids, families, jobs and unfortunately their sex lives.
  19. I knew Curt Flood when he was running a disco in Majorca, Spain. What a great guy! I am sure he would have a lot of really interesting things to say.
  20. Damn, I am jealous. Just finished snow blowing.....again!
  21. Interesting that the Red Sox were an accumulative +37 for the years on this list. Good scouting plus lots of money go far, I guess.
  22. I keep thinking about the local fans constant bitching about Mauer's contract. If MM went into any kind of slump or some other free agent doesn't sign with the Twins all hell would break out about how MM was holding the Twins back from being WS champs. That said, I agree with Chief. This never happens. Go for it.
  23. I think I read (here on TD?) that because of Disney buying Fox, they were going to have to spin off the regional Fox sites (ie. FSN), The thought was that that the Twins ownership might buy FSN and use it as a platform for their various outlets. They tried with the Victory Network back in the Metrodome days and crashed and burned. Maybe this could generate significant revenue streams to aid the Twins in staying even with their competitors.
