    I had actually forgotten about Leopoldo being a minority owner. What I don’t know about marketing would fill Target Field but the Wild have a positive public persona and have connected with fans. As Cris E points out above, the Pohlads basically just BS their fans and assume they don’t know any better.

    The attendance question is a tough nut to crack. Mainly because it’s been brewing for a while and is probably the result of a bunch of different things. For sure winning baseball would help but something else is needed. They ought to call the Wild - they seemed to have tapped into something.

    I think I will just stay out of this thread….😀

    Many people are concerned about Lees eventual position. If he hits, they will find a spot for him. But if he keeps hitting like this he simply won’t be in the big leagues.
  5. Linus
    The fans get to feel how they feel and that will be different across the board. Your opinion on how they should feel is meaningless.
  6. Linus
    This is a reasoned analysis.

    I don’t think anything has changed. His stuff is tantalizingly. The question is can he locate it effectively which has always been the question. At first I wasn’t sure about this deal because there is definite risk they he never figures out his control but if he does, the upside is huge.
  8. Linus
    Not funny. I particularly don’t care to have that important event used for satire.
  9. Linus
    They actually shouldn’t have him on the roster much less playing in the field. First base, DH and left field were three golden opportunities for the Twins to remake the roster and they simply didn’t do it.
  10. Linus
    No but I would move Lee to third and let Culpepper play short in that scenario.

    How do you cross up a catcher when the ear piece tells you what to throw?😀
  12. Linus
    You can see what the Twins liked in getting Bradley. He obviously needs to throw more strikes but he has some electric stuff. While Royce should concern anyone paying attention I think his setup and approach looks much better. Lower hands and a small leg kick / tap leaves him much quieter in the box. Here’s hoping it makes the difference.

    This Nunez fellow for the birds is impressive. Would be our best reliever

    I am not a Fundy fan but he threw a good inning there. The hit was a complete flare and Brooks can’t field a ball one step to his right. If the guy can throw it over he will be useful
  15. Linus
    I hope you are right but since the lineup is similar it’s going to be up to Shelton to bring some accountability to this situation.
  16. Linus
    Seems like the kind of guy that could be a good pen arm. Always tough to know what to do as starters are so valuable even as a trade chip. But if he continues to pitch well adding him and Festa to the pen would make a big difference.
  17. Linus
    And you reflect my views as well. The players are doing the best they can within their physical abilities. When Lee doesn’t get to a grounder that another SS might I’m not getting mad at him - he’s trying. If you want to be frustrated with someone make it the FO for not bringing in a better player. The mental mistakes are a different story. You don’t have to be an elite athlete to throw to the right base etc. This has been a consistent problem for this club.

    It was available as a minor league free game of the day or something like that. I like your observation about Culpepper hitting behind the runner. Don’t know if he did it on purpose but he used the whole field which was good to see.
  19. Linus
    I think bullpen usage will be totally match up based and will likely look different from game to game. And I think this is the right way to do it. With the talent level in the bullpen, the best chance for success is for Shelton to use them in the optimal situation regardless of inning. I’ve always that the notion of strict roles in the pen was a dumb idea, especially for non dominant relievers.

    Minor league reports - best part of Twins Daily! Fun game to watch - the feed I was watching was the Indy announcers who I kind of enjoyed. Preillip has some swing and miss stuff for sure. He still has some work to do in terms of command but the talent is there. Culpepper looked good although he had some batted ball luck. This will be a fun team to watch this year. Kind of hoping Mendez ends up playing first base for the Saints soon.
  21. Linus
    If I lived in the Cities I would be going to a bunch of Saints games.
  22. Linus
    No. Martin should have been coming up throwing to second without looking for the cut off man. Nobody stops to find the cutoff man and then throws - they start throwing right away. Usually the cut off man is in the right spot so it doesn’t happen.
  23. Linus
    Then it’s a mistake by both of them. The ball has to go to second
  24. Linus
    Buck is one of the few players I have ever seen that can get an essentially stand up triple on a ball hit to left.
  25. Linus
    Yep. This was a huge play in the game. Unfortunately, the Twins make these types of mistakes a lot.
