  1. As soon as Little Sammy Fuld gets back Hicks is history per Dick and Bert doing todays talking points.
  2. Get the band back together! 35-year-old former big leaguer Juan Rincon, who has not thrown in the bigs since 2010, is looking to mount a comeback, tweets Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Rincon, a righty who owns a 4.03 ERA in 507 MLB innings, has thrown for several clubs already, says Heyman.
  3. I'll repeat the curse of Ortiz: The last playoff series won by the Twins Ortiz was on the team. Since he left the Twins have won 2 playoff games and Ortiz has won 3 World Series rings. If that isn't a curse what is?
  4. I think its expecting a lot to think Willingham will produce much when he comes back. He looked bad last year when he played, looked bad in spring training nothing really to say he didn't just get old kind of fast. Now he hasn't played in nearly two months odds are not good he'll produce much (I'll let Brian figure the odds, he's good at math). ...Brian...Brian...Brian get the calculator out!
  5. If you have the means to check possibly the pitchers are throwing a little harder after the first few weeks of season as they stretch out their arms and the weather warms up. Just a thought!
  6. Dick may pee in his pants before this inning is over.
  7. 7. Think about the last time the Twins won a playoff series AJ was the catcher and they have only won one playoff game after he was traded. AJ has only won one world series since he left, guess we're even.
  8. 6. Think about the Twins last won a playoff series the last year Ortiz was on the team. They have won 2 playoff games since, the Red Sox have won 3 World Series in that time. All things considered it must be Rick Anderson's fault!
  9. Is it the curse of Jose Morban?
  10. "The Rising Cost of Brian Dozier" should actually read The potential rising cost of Brian Dozier. They have this year and next before arbitration kicks in, no reason to be in a hurry. Let him prove himself for more than a year. A lot of baseball and a lot of bad things can happen before he even reaches his first year of arbitration.
  11. Free agent in 2019 no reason to be in a hurry.
  12. The guy is hitting .239 with an ops of .706 and we want to give the guy a parade?
  13. Well we have worked our way into the basement of the Central. Last year on May 8 we were 15-15 this year 15-18 not a lot of progress.
  14. Might be time to send Arcia to see the Balt trainers about his wrist. They fixed up Hardy in no time after the Twins staff had issues with it.
  15. Do you make these up for your wife? You know laundry, house cleaning, cooking type checklists.
  16. how do you score two runs on a ground ball to short?
  17. Which player Raley or Matti G would likely be more of a long term player? Seems like a bad move.
  18. Trivial it would be if it only happened once. But this kind of mismanagement has been going on for a couple years.
  19. How long will this front office get a (mostly) free pass on its terrible roster management the last couple years??
  20. Guerrier has been taking flies in the outfield, 4th outfielder.
  21. This year Floriman's slash line is: .109/.186/.156/.342 ops plus of, drum roll, -2. Serious question, has any major league player played nearly every day this late in the season with a worse line? This is a wild guess but a negative ops+ is bad, right?
  22. This is what happens in Gardy's mind if he has his catcher dh and the other catcher gets hurt. Thus a 3rd catcher who appears completely useless at the "major league level" is needed.
  23. Halsey was great either uncontrollable laughing or a coughing fit from his cigars. Not much else but he was fun!
  24. IMO both Dick and Bert talk too much. It's early, small sample size and all, but I like that Morris doesn't think he needs to fill every second with talk. As he does more games he likely will get more comfortable and improve his delivery. Bert really could use a new spiel.
