  1. If I'm not mistaken , his option is based on plate appearances not games played , if Polanco gets to the number of plate appearances it automatically renews , if not the the FO can either renew , trade him or let him walk , wise choice would be to renew with two option years remaining and then trade if that is there avenue ...
  2. I'm at the lake in Northern Minnesota and it is alot better air than the haze we had yesterday , it was thick haze yesterday and very clear here today , wind seems to be out of the east here for now ... Now I don't know if the twins will come to play but they most certainly should take the field ...
  3. I wasn't going to read this ... but I totally agree with everything you wrote , I've stated many times that the twins have no rhythm or harmony in their approach at the plate because they don't know their roles ... Lots of head scratching on the FO and managers plan , both times we faced an opener recently we weren't prepared ...
  4. Problem , I don't see no stinking Problem ... If Minnesota keeps playing him exclusively at third base then I see a Problem because of Lewis manning third base and Kirilloff and others manning first base he has no position except as a bench player or DH and he needs to hit every day to stay productive ... If he can improve on his defense and I'm sure he can then maybe Lewis can move to second base or outfield with his athleticism but not in favor of that move to tge outfield ... Minnesota may know he needs a new home but are reluctant to find one for him, his new home could be with another team ... As usual the FO doesn't tell us anything on a players condition and that injured shoulder in spring training could have been the reason for his slow start and now maybe it's finally healing up and he's swinging better for hard hit contact ...
  5. That's Rocco being Rocco , I said the same thing , Lewis can hit righthanders but Rocco thinks the lefty match-upworks better ( huh ) , there has also been times where Kirilloff has been pinch hit for against lefthander and he can hit lefthanders ... Your starters are your best players , not the bench ... Lewis is not hurt ...
  6. If it wasn't for Taylor and castro's stealing bases , where would the twins be in stolen bases , sure they could get caught stealing and cost us an out , but a double play costs us two outs ... Keep the runners running ... Bremer suggested Taylor could bunt to lead off the ninth like he did in Toronto to give the twins a spark ,,, that was the longest hit bunt i have ever seen dick , good call ...
  7. I wonder if they can beat their record of 20 in a row back in 2002 .... I like winning streaks , wish the twins would have a big one ... Go twins ...
  8. You would think they would have announced that he was going to be available when his IL expired and not 1 hour prior to the Milwaukee series ... drawing fans to the game Is the Name of the game and if he is activated than our professional public relations person is not doing their job ... Sound familiar on not doing their job ... It's the twins way , keep the fans guessing ...
  9. Are we back to 2022 again , you just saved me 1 year of my life , the way the twins have been playing they have shortened my life by 10 years ... It's 2023 but I'll still party like it's 1999 ...
  10. It's a bad team because the smartest management in the room made it ...
  11. Where do we start ??? I don't really know what to say about the FO addressing the needs of the team ... They will probably do the opposite of what the fans think are right ... Gallo was a head scratcher this offseason , why did we acquire him , he's had bad production his past couple of years but they saw something in him just like they see something in pagan and Kepler ... If the FO does anything it will probably be another head scratcher unless they unload the 3 mentioned above ...
  12. I'd say alittle to early to be talking about an extention , Let's see how Ober and varland perform over the long season before thinking of an extention for mahle , yes you can never have to much pitching but an injured pitcher is worthless ...
  13. Prime opportunities ... they've had alot of prime opportunities with the starting pitching keeping us in the games ... Starters have been solid for two months plus , the hitters have just lost their focus on situational hitting , can't make contact and strikeouts galore ,,, can't score with less than 2 outs , have a losing record in 1 run games , etc. Etc . ....
  14. Do you really have that much confidence that we will make the playoffs cause feel we are letting it slip away again ... Only earlier this year rather than later last season ...
  15. When pagan came in we all knew the outcome was going to be bad , we all called it ... When Ron Davis came in , we called it then too , never thought there would be another one like him but history repeats it's self ...
  16. The words they used is he reaggravated his oblique and they don't know when it happened ... If that's their quote , what does it say about our new trainer ... Don't know when it happened , what a crock ...
  17. To much scotch turn to pissed and vinegar ...
  18. Good news is we won the series ... Let the sweep get away from us ...
  19. Yep , Stewart only threw 1 pitch yesterday ...
  20. When are they ever going to learn , he just hasn't got the right stuff ,,, send him packing and I don't have to name a name you know who ...
  21. Here's a thought , If the umpiring wasn't so bad maybe the twins wouldn't have seventeen strikeouts a game ...
  22. Pagan is warming up ... Oh no ... say it ain't so , Joe
  23. Eighth inning coming up , We need another 7 run inning , it's been a few inning since I went hooray hurrah
  24. Im mad too and also mad at my app which isn't working here at the lake to good. , constantly rebutting it ,,,
