  1. I could tell you about the time I went into the out house on a hot humid day....
  2. I used to drink wine but they quit making Ripple.
  3. If a pitcher walks four batters in a row, is that a grand slam?
  4. Twins have fanned 10 batters so far, amazing.
  5. Why can't veteran ball players be send back to minors?
  6. Baldelli just pulled his thumb and released the gas.
  7. Why didn't Balde' just leave Alcala in and see how well he would do .
  8. It is time for Sano, Larnach and Jeffers to start a new Bomba squad.
  9. Simmons bounced that one to first; I have seen him throw hip high strikes to first with both feet off of the ground and this one was just a plain throw . I wonder if he has some problems he is playing through.
  10. Arraez's running style looks awful similar to Astudillo.
  11. If I had not done that it would have just dripped on the floor, but something else would have dropped into my pants, or do you take dump while standing up.?
  12. I used to landscape in this kind of weather only 15 degrees warmer; you would go into the outhouse to take dump and the water would literally trickle off of your chin into your pants.
  13. Jeffers does a good Sano imitation.
  14. I think Sano is on the Turtle diet.
  15. Time for Arraez to live up to the rep. some here have for him. Success!
  16. Ober got a single, Ober got a single .... There must be a curse of the Sano as so many rookies are hitting like him -- home runs or strike out.
  17. Well the Twins beat Houston on a National broadcast, maybe that is one of their few fortunes.
  18. When I see all the current Twins who have played in the big show this year, I think of Mike Hessman who has the most home runs in Minor League ball. I read an in depth article on him a few years back that one reason he never made it full time big league is not a lack of talent but at that time there were too many , not average, but good players in the minors and there are only so many positions available on any big league team and they were already taken. Refsnyder, Garlick and Larnach made me think of him.
  19. Mentoring is a state of mind and personality, NOT some thing you create or buy.
  20. From the results I have seen Cruz is probably not too happy where he is and he already has stated he would like to come back. 2019 had some short terms veterans that truly bolstered the team, maybe they will do that again and then play the rookies on and off to see who has a future.
  21. If Happ and Robles do quite well with their new team, in my opinion that shows the Twins coaching staff is a detriment.
  22. It has been 30 years since they have been in the World Series (20 years since they had a manager capable of guiding them to that point). Fans are money, the Vikings as lousy as they are bringing in fans, another decade of AAA level Twins will cost the Pohlads lots of money, and they realize that, but arestill too cheap to spend for, even two straight years , money to get there but then they are stuck with Baldelli and the current front office. Sign top veterans to two year contracts and get into the playoffs now, when they leave they will have a good idea of who, if any, in the farm leagues are worth putting on the team.
  23. Gordon and Larnach are not ready for the majors and maybe never will be; Gordon in reality looks like the W. Mays Hays character from the movie in real life, Larnach has a weak arm and is slow. Refsnyder and Garlick have shown they can play in the majors so if Buxton can stay healthy Refsnyder or Garlick supporting Buxton and Kepler looks OK. Arreaz is NOT a good fielder he is more show than go; finding a veteran infielder with Simmons ability is extremely important if they do not keep him. Cruz should be brought back, period, there is no one on the team, that is as good as he was. Pitching, they need help badly, spend money there.
  24. They have a solid idea of what Buxton and Donaldson can actually do; all the rookies so babbled about here are unknown hopes, at best, i.e. wishful thinking. So far only Garlick, Refsnyder and Kirilloff have shown there pro-level abilities, all the rest have shown they belong in the minors as of now. Fans pay money for a top line professional team, not a minor league training exercise.
