    Brandon Williamson is "one of us", went to school at Martin County West.
  2. Benchwarmerjim
    Tristan Gray is on pace to drive in around 180 RBI
  3. Benchwarmerjim
    The classic "hit two doubles and score zero runs" inning
  4. Benchwarmerjim
    Keaschall was lightly grazed by the pitch and didnt appear to be hurt.

    Old Friend Noah Davis is pitching for the Pirates and he is looking like he did with the Twins last year Paul Molitor was a bit concerned that Martin came out of the game after diving for a ball in the field
  6. Benchwarmerjim
    a sneaky great Immaculate Grid player

    While not free, Tuesday (5/14) Twins-Yankees game is on TBS

    dude had a 5.12 ERA yet led the AL with 3 shutouts. what a legend
  9. Benchwarmerjim
    its wild that in the year 2023 Tommy Milone recieved a MLB salary. Good for him, but still wild.
  10. Benchwarmerjim
    and in not surprising moves, Kyle Barraclough optioned to AAA Worcester
  11. Benchwarmerjim
    the pitching staff, coaches, front office, whoever, better pass around a collection plate and give Kyle a few extra dollars for having him absolutely take one for the team

    Former Twins legend Chris Herrmann is leading the American Association in batting with a .444 average.

    The plan to slow roll Buxton back out to the field is working out because the Twins went out and got a pretty good CF replacement in Michael A Taylor. I think if they started season rolling out Nick Gordon on an everyday basis, Buxton would already have 20 games in CF under his belt.
  14. Benchwarmerjim
    Byron Buxton is on pace for about 40 HRs at home, 0 on the road.
  15. Benchwarmerjim
    Rocco is on pace for 11 ejections this season
  16. Benchwarmerjim
    strong "1997 Brad Radke win total ratio" vibes

    If Mauer stays healthy/not be traded, he should finish the season 2nd on the all time Twins Games Played list, and also surpass the 1800 Games Played plateau. Also, Mauer should pass Puckett (7831) in Plate Apperances sometime late in the season, it'll be close but Mauer probably wont get to 8000 this season. Mauer will probably get to 1000 strikeouts by the All Star break, Dozier should reach 500 RBI and 600 runs scored this season. If all goes well, Sano (74) should reach 100 HRs this year
  18. Benchwarmerjim
    This was fantastic.
  19. Benchwarmerjim
    Cito Gaston?

    Veteran team with a few youngsters sprinkled in. Good pitching and an owner who can buy some bullpen arms ( I always thought Gardy did a good job managing the bullpen, especially the front end/lesser quality arms). My money is on Detroit if Ausmus falters this year.

    What happened in 1989? He still got his hits (lead the league with 215), still got his doubles (career high 45) and even hit a few triples but is HR production went from 24 in 1988 to only 9. It took a few years for his HR totals to get back up into the 20s.

    Just a quick glace at manager hires, Joe Maddon was hired in on Nov 15 2005, John Gibbons Nov 20 2012, Mike Scoscia Nov 18 1999, Clint Hurdle Nov 14 2010. There are more mid November hires, but the list gets long.

    Are people 100% sure Molitor is going to be an old school, bunt/hit-n-run/, etc type manager? This article from January http://m.twins.mlb.com/news/article/66545260/hall-of-famer-paul-molitor-preparing-for-role-as-twin-coach To me, that says Molitor is willing to learn new things. I know the Twins didnt shift to much, or not as much as they wanted to coming out of Spring Training, this year but I think that comes from the fact the Twins pitcher allowed oodles of hits and that takes away from shifting opportunities. I'm not a smart enough baseball mind to know if that is true or not, but it what makes sense to me.
