  1. I am sad, the Caveman is not in the Philly line-up. He and another AAA dude won the game for them a week or so ago.
  2. We''re gonna win Twins, we'er gonna score, knock out a home run and watch that baseball soar....
  3. Only if the one he is throwing to does not have to move to catch the ball; time will tell, if not this year, next spring.
  4. Actually no, UNLESS, they are with the Twins org., THEN, they have inside info that what goes on , is a true consternation to them. When I landscaped, I would have owners or arm chair landscapers come up to me and say: "Heck, all you gotta do is...." so many times, I wanted to hand them a shovel and say, "SHOW ME".
  5. Disregarding the wailing, moaning and gnashing of teeth by some who know more about baseball than those whose occupation it is, the Twins will win tonight. Joey, Joey your my man, if you can't do it Garlick can.
  6. So you are saying Saint fans are laut drunks?
  7. Bottm line, owners are there to make money, losing teams do not make money. Saints are no different than the Pohlads and Twins.
  8. The Twins now have a minority ownership stake in the Saints, Does Winning Matter? Fans and front offices alike have long questioned whether winning at the minor league level has any effect on a player’s career and have failed to come to a consensus. Some say that winning in the minors is just for pride’s sake and causes no tangible change. Others insist that winning is enormously important. Josh Norris explored this very topic a little more than a year ago and heard some really intriguing feedback. We polled several front office members for their thoughts and received answers ranging from “no significant impact” to “winning definitely matters”. Yet despite the disagreement, one thing everyone mentioned was that the role of the minor leagues is a tricky balance between player development and winning. A baseball operations analyst with an AL team said: “You’ll get a lot of different answers. I think that it does (matter), especially at the higher levels. The difficulty is, a lot of successful Double-A or Triple-A teams aren’t always prospect laden. A lot of Quad-A types populate winning high-minors clubs. So not over-prioritizing winning at the expense of having youth at those levels, even if they struggle a little, is the balance.” https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/quantifying-the-effects-of-winning-in-the-minor-leagues-on-player-development/
  9. Only to you. Gents running the Saints want to win just as much as the gents running the Twins, so best players play where they play and Larnach isn't it.
  10. Detroits's pitcher,, without the long hair,, looks young enough he would have fit right in to the movie Sandlot!
  11. FHS, Correa watchs a strkie go by and swings at crap.
  12. Looks like the pitchers have figured Julien out and the bloom is off of his rose.
  13. When the catcher sets-up way outside the batters box, doesn't the batter know that the pitch tisn''t going to be any where near the strike zone?
  14. Better first base skills?
  15. His big fielding improvement is he is now aware of other players in the field going for a ball shown by his sliding for a catch twice recently. Last year three times, I saw,, he was a charging bull without regard to other players going for the ball and if they had seen him and jumped out of the way he would have rammed into them probably putting one on the IL list. Some one took him aside and he listened.
  16. 'Believing in he has a hard time hitting lefties, did not want that momentum.
  17. On fantasy island maybe.
  18. My father liked baseball, still had his glove when he played little town ball in the town, general store and creamery, he grew up in. (towns of less than 100 people used to be common in Central Minn). He spoke about baseball, so I heard of big names long before the Twins came to town. My friend and I walked down town to the theater to watch Safe at Home so I was a Mickey Mantle fan before I knew any Twins names but in the fall of 1962 Lenny Green was at a dinner at out church and I shook his hand. I was already a baseball fan but after than I was huge Twins fan and still am.
  19. Lewis has played a total of 38 games in the Bigs; hot bats have come and gone, HUGE X factor.
