    In 2018 the Twins were 2nd in the final standings at 78/84, but they were building up to a powerhouse hitting team won 101 games in 2019 and set the Home run record. They had a great shot at it all that year.. all they needed was a really good closer. In 2018 fell be traded Ryan Presley, who was a really good closer to Houston where he went on to become fireman of the year and all that jazz.. He traded Presley for prospects, Gilberto Celestino, and Jorge Alcala. Enough said?

    He is man of high character and one great baseball player!! I’ve been a Mn twins fan from the beginning and followed them since Halsey Hall and Ray Scott. So I’ve seen and followed their centerfielders from Bill Tuttle and Lenny Green to Byron. He’s deserving of the honor without a doubt. He could have some magical years ahead that would make going to the game that much better. If he was to leave I’ll really miss him and I’m sure a lot of others will also

    Twins fan since 61. Ups and downs yea downer right now By the way, how many hamstring injuries have we seen running to 1st, early in the game. Aren’t they warming up this hammies?

    Love Buxton and Correa, but last year Carlos Santana was there almost every day and great fun to watch his magic at 1st base. after watching and listening mostly in the old days to Halsey Hall and R Scott late at night in bed when they were on the west coast, I’m just sad to see the Pohlads take this course. Seemed like with a few additions they had shot, but it’s not my money, so it’s not my call on what they do. I think the real culprit is no salary cap

    Another flop trade was Ryan Pressley for Celestino and Alcala. Especially because they had a shot at it all that year Pressley was great then and for several more years and that team needed him, not a couple prospects When you’ve got a shot at the World Series you don’t subtract Good things have been done though too, like the minor league development. So I don’t know, it’s just that trade has always stuck in my craw

    No brainer twins mvp consummate pro D is awesome price is right

    Watching baseball or any game should be fun with highs and lows. Runners on base provide those ups and downs a lot more than a whole lot of strikeouts while waiting for a home run. Did you enjoy watching Joey Gallo last year?

    It’s the initials MM. like Mickey Mantle 2 new MM’s this week to Magnificent Minnesota Monte Morris to Twolves and now Manuel Margot to Twins. Wonder if Manny Machado (not). Mike Maddox comeback? It was just another Manic Monday

    2024 season hasn’t begun yet I’ll wait and see

    No impact water jogging. Seriously. My knee was bad for 2 years after surgery started water jogging every day and it worked. Knee got completely better It also cured my hip soreness He could have went anywhere, but wanted to be true to the team that had faith in him. He’s a man of great character and I will root for him all the way!! I’d love to be able to shove it in the face of his of those ignorant chumps that think he’s just milking the Twins

    The improvement was a team effort of course, but the pitching was the key. One of the oldest axioms in baseball is “Good pitching beats good hitting.” Go Twins!!

    I forgot about it being a smaller field like the decision. I think kenta might be able to fool some of them too. Go Twins!!!!!!!
  13. Lartwinfan
    Either Joe or Kenta
  14. Lartwinfan
    Too bad we couldn’t have gotten them both
  15. Lartwinfan
    Good listening to Latroy announce again i think I remember something about him being a big backer of the Twins using that number 1 pick on Royce Lewis instead of Hunter Greene
  16. Lartwinfan
    I mean a roll of the dice, so let’s roll twins winning the division would guarantee a home playoff game!! Target field would be rocking (and Rolling) See y’all there
  17. Lartwinfan
    Seems like all trades are a shake of the dice! Sometimes you win and you know the rest

    Been an almost every day fan since 61, but I have to say I can’t stand watching all these strike outs. This analytics is everything doesn’t seem to be working I’m a baseball guy first and foremost, but I want to watch baseball not home run derby. Pablo is great but I wish we still had future Hall of Famer Luis. He was what a baseball fan pays to watch, because he was fun to watch. Baseball action not strikeouts

    Would like to see the exact medical diagnosis of where his knee is and a medical prognostication of what the future of his knee is. Can it ever heal?? My knee was really bad, but dedicated low impact water jogging everyday has back to normal. Feel so bad For him, because he is such a great guy!
  20. Lartwinfan
    Great to see those guys get going. Now if Buck and CC can dump the slumps and get back to normal we will have a lot to look forward to watching.. Fun to watch them putting the ball in play last night instead of trying to hit a home run on every swing. and striking out. Those uppercut home run swings are fine in a hitters count, but leveling out the the plane and putting the ball in play is this old guys preference to watch.

    Thanks Twins and thanks Byron for making my age 76 to age 83 years able to watch my favorite play.er. If he has healthier years, he WILL be one of the most valuable player in all of baseball. Even years when they aren't as competitive as we'd all like, I can look forward to watching them play. Really happy and excited!!!!!!

    Roxy just hit it out of the park!!
  24. Lartwinfan
    Sign him somehow, someway. I’ve watched the twins and listened and followed since 61 Byron Buxton has the highest ceiling of any player in the game. I’d pay to watch him play every day. It would end my 60 year obsession with the Twins if they don’t. Imagine watching him lead another team to a World Series championship couldn’t handle that.
