  1. Maybe he's proving that he belongs. Going back to back days and going multiple innings
  2. Well you've probably heard of his dad Richard Thornburg the reporter from Die Hard. Better known as Dick
  3. Maybe the Twins could harness some Ole Miss MOJO. Back to back to back Jack's. All with 2 out
  4. Jinx and momentum are like the boogeyman. I put more stock in Santa or the Easter bunny
  5. I'm comfy. Just trying to decide which is more comfortable. The silk or wool or rayon. Def not the polyester tho.
  6. It's a little early for scoreboard watching me thinks.
  7. Just pulled mine too. I'm not waiting
  8. Or may not be the last run they score tonight
  9. If it didn't bounce, why would the 1st baseman even make the throw to 2nd
  10. Haven't the Twins scored 21 runs in the last 2 games with Buxton out of yhe lineup? Not suggesting that he's not needed. Just good to see they can score without him as well
  11. No one's catching that unless you face plant the wall
  12. Barring injury he WILL get MVP votes, but they won't be for 1st 2nd or 3rd place votes, so he be down around 8th. Writers don't appreciate his mastery at the plate and they'll point out that he hits .220 or so vs lefties
  13. Angel H at 1st base 2 nights in a row, so definitely behind the plate tomorrow. How does he have a job? Didn't he sue the umpires union
  14. Arreaz smoked his ball. But a nice catch prevented a 2 run homer by Correa.
  15. So who's to blame on a 6 pitch same pitch sequence?
  16. The secret is no longer secret now, thanks to this article. All teams the Twins face for the rest of 2022 are furiously looking at the tape and trying to find ways of slowing him down
  17. Yesterday's lineup minus Buxton which was a bad lineup according to some vs today's lineup with him. Sometimes you run into a pitcher whose stuff is working. And this guy has looked pretty good so far.
  18. I didn't understand all the early complaints about the lineup. Buxton was the only one out of what looks like their everyday lineup moving forward until Polanco returns. Except when they face a lefty.
  19. Yes. How about game 6 WS when he pulled I forget his name. Mr I put my life in the line. Blake Snell. If that's not scrutinized I don't know what is
  20. Here's my 2 cents. I don't think Baldelli is a good mgr nor do I think he's a bad mgr. I'm not taking the easy route here, but let's compare Baldelli to Gabe Kapler. He got ran out of Philly and that maniacal fan base was overjoyed. He went to SF and his first 2 years there was not well received either. The thought was he handled the pitching and the bullpen all wrong too. In today's game the majority of the moves are made before the game even starts. So if a SP is slated to go 4 or 5 or 6 it doesn't matter if he's being shelled or if he's pitching a shutout. The FO has basically tied the managers hands in regards to moves made. They will make bench moves, but the analytics pretty much determine those moves as well. I would say Cash Baldelli and Kapler as well as others are scrutinized so much for 2 reasons. Reason 1. They don't win in playoffs. Reason 2. Their personalities. These guys don't get all amped up win or lose and I believe that gets misconstrued as to not caring. They don't get all fired up at press conferences or on the field. It's a different game and a different world today. Personally I think today's game can be managed by an I-pad, a phone and a monkey
