  1. Maybe Taylor can equal his best ever home run production.
  2. Well, Lewis should have tried to steal third base and gotten thrown out, then, the next batter would have hit a home run.🥸
  3. Ball is really flying when hit, but , first you have to hit it.
  4. Twins are making Rangers right fielder earn his pay.🥸
  5. Lewis apparently is not as fleet footed as desired.
  6. Singles becoming doubles, doubles becoming triples, and triples becoming inside the park home runs, makes his position a defense first position.
  7. Only Buxton was a better fielder , when he was on the field, than Kepler since 2019, if you ignore Simmons. (Simmons is the best fielding Short Stop the Twins ever had) Those two gave/give the Twins a superior outfield,; Taylor out there now still gives the Twins top outfield players. Left field -- ?
  8. No system is perfect, but you made good points, at that, look at the Yankee wheeler dealers.
  9. Oddly Earl Battey, a very good defender, had his worst two years in errors, the two years he stopped, best in league percentage, base stealers.
  10. Thinking of how many games Buxton can or ever will play at more than DH, I wondered who was the last Twin to play a full 162 games. Did not spend an hour trying to dig that out but did find this on Major League 162 percentage. https://sports.yahoo.com/no-load-management-here-meet-the-2-mlb-stars-committed-to-playing-all-162-games-150809939.html
  11. Not likely, no place for Stevenson, and despite all the brouhaha for Martin, wishful thinking. Unless the Twins have anothe Sept. collapse, then, horses are out of the barn.
  12. Pagan has been no worse than most of the bullpen; using him as a scape goat no longer makes sense.
  13. As league level increases, so does performance level of pitching. That is one way for a player to face improved pitching.
  14. Some players have come to the Twins, over the years, and had there best or one of the best years ever; some have come and played like they wished they were some where else. When Cruz left his performance died the day he left, at that, when Suzuki left his rose opened to full bloom for years. Part of the game and maybe shows how dealing with FO and managers can help or kill an athlete.
  15. Did AAA teams, so connected to the Twins, ever play heads-up games against each other in the past? It would be fascinating to see the Twins go against the Saints, if, Gardenhire could get Baldelli to put Julien and Lewis with the Saints for that game and see how badly the Saints beat the Twins.😁 Next spring, I would not be surprised to see Stevenson and Garlic with the Twins. I would bet Gordon, Larnach and Celestino's ship for days with the Twins has probably sailed.
  16. I looked at Martin's Minor League stats and nothing there says he is ready for the Majors; next year is a different story but playing games with him this year shows the managers are running a chinese fire drill.
  17. Baldelli was not happy with that boo boo from the look on his face.
  18. He is heading for the Mendoza line.
  19. Wallner may find himself back in St.Paul next spring.
