  1. It does not sound dumb, it sound like desperation. First base is not as easy as so many seem to think it is; Kirilloffs less than average play shows that.
  2. Curious why you like Bader. He seems to be as good , or better CF than Taylor but a lessor bat. In these threads where bat first is most common, whether pro with history or AAA rookie unknown, that seems like an outlier position.
  3. Oh heck, one of the Bull Pen can play there it is so easy.
  4. This might be more serious than his wrist. I destroyed my Labrum landscaping; the doctor asked what I was doing when it went kaput. I told him I was, literally, throwing sod rolls. He told me , my days of throwing sod rolls was over; he said they could fix it, this time, there would be no fixing it next time.
  5. Well Gallo is a far, far better fielder than Kirilloff; so keep Gallo around and when Kirilloff comes back, play Kirilloff till defense is of utmost importantance and then put Gallo in.👍
  6. Pain? I am still not done grieving over game 7 1965!
  7. No, it is ALL about getting back to the post season next year, not shooting craps with more rookies. Next year Kirilloff, Lewis, Wallner and Julien will have to show they can adjust to Major League pitchers adjusting to them. There is no room/time for being an extended AAA team for more rookies. Spring training will show who stays in the Org. and who will move on to other Orgs.
  8. Next year may determine if this was a flash in the pan or not. People like to put the 2019 success on the baseball used that year, in reality most of that team was gone by 2021. Change in team , change in results. IF, if 90 percent of this team, especially pitching, returns next year, season results will show if this is a long term top team or just another flash in the pan.
  9. Up here the Twins will have reached Big Boy status if the team gets front page news coverage from TV talking heads; right now the Twins are third page news. The TV talking heads, local news, spoke about them after babbling about the Vikings, Gophers and Wild all summer.
  10. That is what the Twins did in the Post Season; Jeffers had 2 hits 19 AB with 2 BB and 8 SO. Way below what he had been doing in Sept. but Baldelli rolled the dice and came up craps.
  11. I did not rate any one at any level.
  12. Twins: Players most to blame for ALDS loss to Astros (clutchpoints.com) Moderator note -- balance of this post has been deleted because members are not allowed to cut and paste an entire article from another website due to copyright concerns.

  13. Interesting season; it reminds me of the 1969-1970 teams which were the last of a truly great decade but died in the new post season format. From 1971-1979 had 4 winning seasons but then they seemed to go pffft in last months. Will next year be a stronger more cohesive team or a revolving door for players not as good as expected. Next spring will be very, very interesting to see who stays , who goes and what gents walk on the field the first day of the season.
  14. Despite extreme drought up here extremely good garden this year. Cucumber, which I have never had good fortune with just keep producing so many I cannot even give them away any more. Carrots , despite being an after thought, produced beyond expectation , except where they washed down among corn stalks. Still picking chiles and tomatoes but as again, too many and the freezer is full. Potatoes not near what I ususally get but then I always got more than we could eat, so not such a bad thing. Because Dad always planted marigolds and zinnias I decided to do so this year, beautiful array of both 2ft to 4 ft high along the garden fence. Good year now I will finally start to pull more stuff up and bury some of the debris.
  15. His batting skills were dropping as the season wore on.
  16. Julien's wasted double really hurts right now.
  17. Julien finally showed his skill tonight.
  18. Kepler was hitting .250 when this game started, with several doubles, so you are simply wrong.
  19. Without Taylor's fielding Twins would have lost a LOT more games.
  20. PItching change was made, all the wailing and moaning will change nothing.
