  1. I want a manager who gets Buxton and Sano to play to their potential. (And who gets Joe Mauer a World Series ring.)
  2. Which reminds me, why did the campers jump up and down?
  3. Definitely an impressive season by Kiriloff. But by and large,not too many standout seasons from the hitters in the system.
  4. I was totally with you until that very last part, and then you lost a lot of credibility.
  5. Berrios Gibson Stewart Gonsalves Odorizzi Pineda (Romero) Interesting to see this rotation over the last month. Is the Trevor May in the rotation idea history?
  6. A’s were 1-9 in RISP, and the “1” resulted in an out at home. I was trying to figure out wha the “100 Club” was for Rosario. 100.6mph on that throw, wow! Stewart did alright. Hopefully he builds on this going forward in his next few starts.
  7. Thanks for this article, Ted. I’ve enjoyed rooting for Joe his entire career. I’ll enjoy watching him in the playoffs next year. I am still predicting that he is playing the long-game, saving up a first-pitch swing for a key spot in the World Series.
  8. I think I’d have gone with Larnach and Enlow for the POD’s. Seth, have you ever gone through and done a player of the day leaderboard?
  9. It is really amazing to step back and note that Dave Winfield, Paul Molitor, Jack Morris and Joe Mauer are St. Paul natives who all played for the Twins and all had significant moments / milestones while a Twin, and three of the four are Hall of Famers, while the fourth may be. That’s not something you see every day. And now one is manager, one is a broadcaster, and extra cool that one played his whole career for the Twins.
  10. That there is some serious voodoo economics you are preaching there.
  11. Isn’t it obvious? Trade him to the Rays. For whom? He’s on first base, that’s Hu.
  12. Imagine how pumped he must have been to get called into the coach’s office. I assume his whole family will be there. A really great moment for this young man. You can make all the arguments in the world why others should be starting in his place. There are a lot of considerations with a big baseball organization. Glad that a few breaks went his way and they made this decision. Hope he takes the opportunity and runs with it!
  13. Wow, didn’t see that coming. Great for him. Would love it if he does alright. Wonder how many big leaguers (and Supreme Court justices) have Type 1 Diabetes?
  14. Nice game by Mejia, this guy is doing a much better job keeping his pitch count down than the guy who pitched last year. Hope his wrist is ok. Would be nice to build a bit of momentum and win a second game tonight.
  15. Last week it didn’t work winning the first game of the Cleveland series, so why not try losing the first game instead?
  16. Logan-Logan Trevor-Trevor May was painting the upper half of the strike zone, three swinging strike outs. It occurs to me that with the increased focus on launch angle, the high strike is very hard to hit. Even when they get to it with that upper cut swing (which is hard), players would only pop it up.
  17. A few points to add to this interesting discussion, which seems to be a catch-all on the FO moves, not just the Dozier move. 1. Dozier called the FO out for trading at the deadline last year. That helped the team motivate for the playoff run...but doesn’t necessarily ingratiate yourself heading into potential contract extensions. 2. Falvey and Levine signed a number of one year contracts this offseason, which are flippable at the deadline in case things don’t pan out. This is something Ryan rarely did, either the signing or the trading. They should get credit for Duke and Lynn in that regard—turning nothing into something. (And maybe Morrison and Rodney this month?) 3. Dozier insisted on batting leadoff for a long time, when his bat would have been more productive lower in the order (specifically, after Mauer). 4. Dozier made it pretty clear he wanted to test free agency, which is perfectly fine. 5. Falvey and Levine made the clear-eyed choice to sell when they saw that the team wasn’t going to make it this year. That took some cojones, given their attempt to sell last year bit them in the ass. I think their assessment was correct, and they stockpiled some intriguing prospects in the process, at very little cost to the future. Maybe none will pan out, but the odds are actually pretty good that at least 2 or 3 of the 11 will turn out to be something. Kudos to them for making a plan and sticking with it. And, for what it’s worth, I’d be thrilled resigning Escobar for something like 3/33.
