  1. OH yes, it is Gasper's fault , hee hee, ho ho, ha ha, you'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white clothes....
  2. Lewis is doing what Wallner does, trying too hard, he is not relaxed at the plate.
  3. His glove hit the dirt, not the ball
  4. How about a good old fashioned game winning hit.
  5. The Mario brother shuts them down.
  6. I am speaking of The Twins, not MLB as a whole, but you say so. Now Pitchers, I do not dwell on pitchers.
  7. A two home run night for Julien? Nope but Julien is at the Mendoza line!
  8. This line-up is butt-clincher for fans.
  9. The Only way rookies are brought up after Spring Training is if some one gets hurt, or if another rookie is so bad that he gets sent down and they must have a replacement, Major Leagues is not Minor League learning school ------------------------------------------------------------- Opening day lineup on top of March 7 lineup, gee where did all the rookies that are supposed to be learning the bigs go?
  10. Keaschall may be an exception, but with a bat, NONE of the AAA rookies, past the Buxton, Sano, Kepler days, have shown they would have been better than the veterans brought it. With a glove, they have been from below average to just plain bad; a few have done OK , else where, but not here.
  11. These young men are being paid a goodly sum; it is professional baseball , NOT Little League.
  12. Correct , they moved to a - slightly - smaller house in Woodland , Mn, on Lake Minnetonka. I used to landscape in Minnetonka, sad to see how taxes have caused long time owners to chop up, literally , old estates. I worked at one with a beautiful garden and loop drive way, except the driveway loop, then, ended in a granite wall and came out of a granite wall on the other side.
  13. They do that in sprint training, not subject them to regular season humiliating frustration as experienced by Keirsey Jr
  14. Sunfish Lake , south of St. Paul.
  15. Yes, Joey Wallner's numbers are better.
  16. Biggest reason, Clemens has taken France's place as clutch hitter.
  17. There is no reason not to. France before he left had the 3rd greatest number of rbi, he was as good a fielder as Julien is not; Camargo is gone because he was determined to be worse than Gasper. IF they are going to shoot craps with Julien, then Fitzgerald , greatly, deserves a chance to be given a try, plus Lee is just plain not good at SS. Last year SO many here were crying that Kiersey Jr. was not being given a chance , well he got his chance , and that alone shows why bringing up unknown rookies rather than known veterans is not a good idea. The Keystone Cops method the Twins are using is - annoying - but if one is a life long baseball fan , such as I am, one learns to live with it and not whine , with non-ending player insults because they are not doing what the arm chair dude want.
  18. The never-ending supply has pretty much been never-ending failure, or worse than what they were supposed to replace. Pie-in-Sky thinking is just hope, based on wishful thinking, or the - " well if I were in charge " arm-chair pee and moaning. If this imaginary never-ending quality supply was real, the Saints would not have losing record. There is a reason the Twins tend to collapse, NOT a new item; I doubt it is the quality of the players.
  19. Buxton, Baldelli happy about Pohlads remaining Twins' principal owners https://www.mlb.com/news/byron-buxton-rocco-baldelli-talk-pohlads-staying-as-twins-owners
  20. Wallner is heading back towards the Mendoza line.
