  1. I watched the game , cubbies score 7 runs off gausman in first inning , talk about taking the wind out your sail ... Toronto couldn't muster more than 5 hits , 16 to 2 loss to cubbies ...
  2. Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn once in awhile ... I don't expect the twins to find a acorn and improve to a contender ... Lots of holes and they continue to do almost nothing to improve them ... We are playing good competitive games now but are we going to continue to take 1 step forward and then 3 steps back as has been the case the past few years ... It's been a better team than anyone ever expected , I always said we would never win with falvey and baldelli and by them now gone we are playing more exciting games ... Deadline aways away , but I see the twins selling , what they receive in return should be major league ready caliber players to make us better this year and beyond ...
  3. Way to early to speculate on the MVP award , injuries could also happen , God forbid ... Buxton may get in the top 10 or top 5 for voting if he stays healthy the remainder of the season , but is just defense and solo homeruns going to get him the award ... Didn't Buxton win player of the week twice already this season ...
  4. Gomez reminds me of another pitcher that was lousy for some seasons and had a good half season and our famous trade of Lopez from Baltimore happened ... I sure hope I'm wrong and the twins struck gold by tinkering with his pitching arm slot and pitch selection , he's been good since acquired ...
  5. Nice series , twins out scored the rangers 25 to 7 for a series sweep , team has a 4 game winning streak ... Offense has woken up , 1st inning runs are always appreciated especially to the starting pitcher ... Fun to watch when we have good Offense , defense and pitching ... 5 relievers followed Ryan , two were acceptable ( Morris and Orze ) , Lawrence , Roger's and Lawyerson not so much ... Good bet when they activate Abel for Arizona series that Lawrence is DFA'd , if not the team FO personal are crazy ...
  6. 5 Bullpen arms used so far , Morris and Orze pitched the best of the 5 ... Lawrence , Roger's and lawyerson not as effective ...
  7. Is 9 runs enough , I'd say yes but sure would like a double digit win ... Score some more please ...
  8. Just when you think to yourself that Kreidler isn't much of a hitter , he then sucks you back in believing with a 2 run homer ...
  9. Who are these guys ... Station to station and then a homerun , that's baseball ...
  10. Twins are off and running in top of first , 4-0 , Brooks Lee hits 3 run homer ...
  11. Let keaschall stay at second base and see if his fielding and throwing can develop better as the season goes on , the kid lives and breathes baseball , maybe his early struggles at the plate caused some lack of focus or mental problems in fielding that we are seeing on easier plays ... We have enough utility players and I'm a believer in finding players to play and develop one position ...
  12. Pitching , defense and hitting , the twins did it all in a double digit win tonight ... Matthew's, you give your pitcher some runs early and most times a pitcher can relax some and that's what looks like happened with zebby tonight , seven innings from starter and 2 from bullpen ... Good team effort tonight , 5 games back of 500 , keep playing ball like tonight and we just might get to 500 , but I've been sucked in before ...
  13. Rbi's do matter to a player when it's his first rbi in the majors
  14. Official scorers are just to generous for my taste in todays game ... Clemens double was definitely an error ... I'll take the hit but still , defense made an error ...
  15. Leavve Lawrence out of the game and I think we have a chance...
  16. Defense , nice catch ( say heh kid ) . Give zebby some support and hes calmer on the mound ..
  17. Who's not liking Kody now , he does hit it hard and he does hustle ...
  18. That was a very quick 1 , 2 , 3 inning ... Too quick ...
  19. Save your salted butter for tomorrow ... Team effort today, defense and pitching , offense did just enough for the WIN ....
  20. Morris has solid inning , I wish I knew if he is a late inning pitcher or middle relief , he is used all over , give him a role to settle into ...
  21. Pedersen was HBP in first at bat , he should have been hit again , Pedersen hit that square ...
  22. Buxton named player of the week , 2 strikeouts tonight so far ... I sure hope the team can score again , since Bell rang the bell with 3 run homer , bats have been quiet ...
  23. Royce chose not to swing at those close pitches and walked , bell rings the bell with a 3 run homerun
  24. It's amazing the few games in AAA and to see such a change in MLB baseball , I for one thought the demotion should of been longer and it was to early to bring him back , but I guess he got the message really fast ... His patience is better , selection on pitches , besides the front leg kick helping I also heard something about that rear leg shuffling backwards for timing purposes ... It's great to see him producing and helping the team ...
