    Would you liken it then to not trusting spring training numbers? In my mind they share a commonality in the fact that i view pitchers to be at a disadvantage. In spring training they're just getting back into their throwing regimens and in rookie ball they're just facing more than maybe one quality hitter for the first time?

    Congrats! Take pictures to show us lowly folks what the suite looks like. Also, with that high end ticket it means you have to be extra loud for the Twins. Have fun!

    Today I went to the mlb website and read some of the comments concerning Robertson's MLB debut, Revere, and Gardy's thoughts on who are All-Stars for he Twins. I also made the mistake of reading the comments and I have problems with them. 1) A large majority of the comments were simply dissing Gardy. I understand being frustrated but in my opinion Gardenhire has been a solid, if unspectacular manager. The Twins have hit a rough patch in their history and Gardy is getting ripped apart. 2) Many of the comments were bashing Joe Mauer. Yes last year was ridiculous and nobody had any clue what was going on with Mauer and it was extremely frustrating but if you compare his numbers from this year so far to those of 2008 (pre-28 homer season) his average, OBP, and slugging are nearly identical AND his doubles are more than half what he had that year less than halfway through this year. His homers are down (I attribute part of that to Target Field) and his air outs to ground outs are more drastically swung towards ground outs but my point remains this. Too many people are expecting the Joe Mauer that hit 28 home runs in 2009 and I don't think that Mauer is ever going to be back. 3) Not a single person commented on Tyler Robertson's special start to his career! Not a single person said something positive like "good for him" or "congratulations!" My message to fans is this. We all know last season sucked and this one isn't much better so there's no point in constantly harping on the bad stuff that EVERYONE KNOWS. Let's talk about the good things and only the developments in the bad things ok? Thanks

    I've gotta say that I agree to an extent. If the Twins can't get a good return on him though a trade then they may as well see how little they can pay for him. It's all but decided that the Twins are not going to compete next year and while Liriano can be awful, he can also be spectacular. If the previously mentioned scenario plays out then there's no reason they shouldn't take a chance on giving fans potential greatness when his inconsistency surely won't cost the team their season.

    I'll be the one yelling and whooping! Specific enough right? See you at the game!

    So this is slightly intimidating for me. My name is David, I grew up in southern Minnesota and have been a baseball/Twins fan for a long time. I've never written a blog before and only recently have begun participating in any sort of online forum (I used to comment on the mlb.com website but that grew old). I stumbled upon this website through the Star Tribune Twins Centric page and have loved every minute that I spend here. Since then I have abandoned reading the actual Twins Centric site and spend the majority of my Twins related time here. Everything I've read here has been absolutely brilliant and the discussions have been constructive and helpful in furthering my own Twins thought process to the point where I simply couldn't resist joining this community myself. My knowledge of the Twins isn't as extensive as some but I try to make up for it by keeping an open mind and cheerful attitude. I'm going to the game on June 25th with my girlfriend (never been to a game before) and my sister and brother-in-law. Hopefully it will be a good game and I can share some highlights here! Excited to see where this will go!
