    until there's a true salary cap - which there never will be - there will be teams like the yankees and the dodgers and the world series will be a toss up between a few teams every year. the twins are not going to be one of those teams. and yes, there should be a salary floor as well but that's another animal altogether. as a twins fan you just have to love watching baseball and not put too many eggs in the playoff or world series basket.

    i feel for cave as he must know he's in a spot he's not suited or has the talent for - not his fault. he's exactly who he is, as is beckham. as long as the twins keep them and pagan around they are doomed to slide into 3rd place in the division.

    when i a great player not a great player? when they're hurt or having their work load lessened to save them for the playoffs. or in carlos' case when they just don't live up to the huge off season signing - it happens. a lot. so next season does carlos re-sign? does anyone care if he does? does buxton move into a purely DH role? if so he's going to need to get back on the bat. do the twins figure out that getting cast-offs from other teams doesn't work? do players such as cave and beckham get released? when all the pitchers are healthy at the beginning of next season who do they trade away? do i eat a chopped meat sandwich or sausage dog when i see the twins play the white sox in chicago? do i go to the Loyalist for a burger? so many questions....

    i know from where it sit - at my desk at work in vancouver - that i'd love to see arraez get a batting title. it's been great watching him get to where he is and to see a batter like him is a privilege. i look forward to well fought games, a little less heartache and maybe, please, a stolen base or two. i look forward to the two games i'll over the labour day weekend vs the sox and look back fondly on the two games i saw over the july 4th weekend recently. i alos look forward to seeing byron running across centre field and diving to make a highlight reel catch... ok... so maybe i won't see that. go twins.

    agreed. buxton is a game changer - when he's in the field.

    am i high (possible) or did fulmer get tagged for four hits in a row when he last pitched for detroit against the twins...? are we surprised by him getting hit on now and the game before...or before that... as i said yesterday, i think, we should just be happy to be twins fans and love baseball and know they're going to be exactly who they are. and after sonny got tagged for a double and the run lead was reduced to one run, why wasn't he taken out then? why one more batter?

    Well. Let’s just settle into the realization - that many already had ages ago - that it doesn’t matter one bit if the twins win the central. Zero. They’ll never get close to beating the over-spending big market teams in a playoff. Let’s just love them for who they are and settle into our seats.

    who am i to say? however, while he does make the hard play look easy is that really worth the price the twins are paying? and, if he opts out next year the twins get nothing in return for him - he's just gone... unless i am mistaken. it will be a failed experiment. i find it hard to believe that he will be back next year and if he is, they should try and get something for him early on to try and claw back some of the investment they have made that, at this point, really hasn't produced much fruit. he says he loves in in minneapolis but he'll say he loves it in (city name here) when they sign him to a big deal next fall/winter.

    the view from the west coast is that pagan kinda sucks.
  11. garn from vancouver
    oh the pain.

    sano went o-3 and the twins are 0-3 with him in the line-up.
  13. garn from vancouver
    i feel for the big guy but sano looked like sano. it's time to cut ties though what they'll get for him is a bag of balls at this point.

    was lucky enough to see in person the 9th inning heroics of byron buxton. so great to be there for that. it was great to be at the game sunday as well even though the results weren't as great. i love being in that park. thanks twins!!
  15. garn from vancouver
    it's hard to stay positive but i remain so. however, the managing of byron's work load is a problem. he's fragile and he plays hard so there's going to be issues and long term can the twins have a guy that, when in the line up is great but misses so much time out of it. he should be in this entire series. he should be in against all the games against plus .500 teams. period - unless he's actually hurt. at the very least at DH. the bullpen is a disaster. seven runs from the seventh inning onwards? come on.

    i'm learning that you can't say anything regarding the players on the twins that aren't vaccinated. nice to know the censors are out in full force.

      We had quite a bit of say on it, from both sides, and it was unproductive bickering. So, enough was enough and it was time to get back to baseball

    i am one that is amongst others that are starting to wonder about all the days off for buxton and / or correa. i'm prone to injury as well but if i missed as many days or was given as maybe days off my co-workers would be getting tired of me. he's a great player but the team needs him in the field and at the plate. his average is awful right now. it's not going to get any better if you don't get the swings in.
  18. garn from vancouver
    we need Tortuga. at least then there would be some fun mixed into all of this. we can't give correa a pass. we just can't. if i was performing as he is at my job, after getting a raise, i'd be fired. he's already looking to next year and where he'll be - it won't be here. i've seen the look on his face - it's of a man in touch with his inner talking heads - "how did i get here?" sure baldelli's job is to inspire but he's not at the plate swinging the bat. lay down a bunt, play some small ball, get men on base, move them along. mix it up. screw the sabermetrics. (at least for now) maybe get kevin goldstein down to talk to correa and say to him, 'come on man. just at least pretend you care. it'll all be over soon and you can move on'.

    "I think Astudillo would've been a much better fit as bench depth now that we have one poor hitting cather and a second poor fielding catcher at DH, and he's much more reliable for a tough at-bat as a pinch hitter. " yes. this. sano hitting .077 and correa at .177 come on. and sano's defense is awful. kepler should not be hitting clean-up on a men's league softball team at this point. the bargain basement trades have yielded the results most thought they would. if htye lose and it's a fun game i'm all for that - this is not that.

    how about some wins over walk up songs
  21. garn from vancouver
    well, if joe hadn't cut his hair i'd would have given the advantage to him.
  22. garn from vancouver
    i don't know much but i do know i like larnach. and i like rogers...
  23. garn from vancouver
    it's not a ghost runner.
  24. garn from vancouver
    great player. pretty good cheater. one year deal. makes room for royce coming up.
  25. garn from vancouver
    Astudillo is a lot of things: but the main thing he is, is he's awesome. i want a lot of things when i watch baseball. great pitching, good hitting that beats great pitching (not always), close exciting plays and fun. just regular good time fun. smiles. laughs. fun. we get a decent dose of the rest from him and lots of fun.
