    I am going Polanco when he gets back into game shape. Solid veteran presence that takes mostly good AB'S.

    Enjoy...I will be working at home with the game on!

    I think that only occurs when IA fans come up here for football.

    I used to have season tickets at Target Field for the first few seasons. In my opinion most people don't 'whine' about ticket prices. I have never viewed ticket prices as outrageous etc. for Twins games. Concession prices on the other hand are a joke at any major sports venue. Obviously huge margins which we hope they use to invest in the competitiveness of the club,

    At this point why not? Who knows...not this guy.

    Do they know you need to open up the piggy bank to obtain relatively successful pitchers?
  7. spanman2
    Wow

    I think they just ran out of leftovers from the Metrodome a few years back...

    This article from the Ryan Administration is NOT a knock on the Mauer contract. I wonder how the current regime feels on the topic. Hopefully the link works for you all...I doubt they are going much about that 52ish number today. https://www.twincities.com/2012/12/04/minnesota-twins-gm-terry-ryan-doesnt-want-top-heavy-payroll/

    Interesting take...I might have gotten my BANK but I'm not truly happy type of deal.

    If that 10/285 is accurate that is a very legit offer. 13 is a joke but how the game is played in today's market. Can't knock him for taking it and obviously the Giants saw it as a proper investment. They have no issues selling out games. Hopefully the Twins take that $$$/season and invest it elsewhere where it is needed.

    Job well done addressing the catcher position. More work to do for certain!

    Totally agree you can't fake 12 years in the show. I used to have heated debates with a former co-worker who thought Nick Punto was the worst player ever to see a MLB field. If you play for 12+ years and are awful then the scouts/GM'S must all be idiots and know nothing about the game. He had a very respectable career!

    Guys got a huge heart for the game...he busts it all the time. Probably can't say that for every player in the show. Hopefully he continues to trend upward!
  15. spanman2
    I'm going to use this as a joke at parties....it's gold!
  16. spanman2
    IALTO!!!

    Lower the price of beer...sorry had to do it. I haven't been to many games since I stopped renewal on my season tickets several years back. There is plenty to do for certain I just thought this one was kind of funny. Appreciate everyone's takes on the subject!

    It would be interesting to hear TK'S takes on lack of bunting for a hit (especially against the severe shifts) or lack of base stealing/teams not executing a safety squeeze/hit & run etc. Baseball as a whole is certainly not the game it was when those things occurred.
  19. spanman2
    Isn't there an old baseball saying close to 'If you are breathing and a left handed pitcher someone will probably give you a shot'. Who knows how this will turn out? Hopefully it does well in our favor!

    I bet if the question would have been asked going into the season after spring training 'If the Twins were 2 games or so out of 1st place going into September would you take that'? I bet the vast majority of us would have said YES I will take that. If they don't implode in September and given their recent stretch I don't see an implosion occurring I'm not sure how Rocco isn't back in '23 as manager. Hopefully the entire month of September is full of meaningful games. WIN TWINS!

    I forgot to add Winder...

    In no particular order beyond '22...you could have Mahle/Gray/Maeda/Ryan/Ober/Paddack in line for starting 5 competition...Archer/Bundy in the mix...assuming all are under contract...gotta give up talent which they did but we needed a solid starter which by all accounts he is.
  23. spanman2
    I could hear TK saying something like...Yeah that one right there is a play ya gotta make...Im sure the guys that handle that will show him that the next time they take infield/outfield. Gotta have that one in the big leagues Dick.

    I bet there is not a current announcer who appreciates/enjoys it as much as Richard (copyright Tom Kelly) even after all of these years. He has certainly seen it all highs/lows. Hopefully if he is near the end of his career he can see some significant highs which would be great for all of us! I really enjoy it when Kaat is on with him and they reminisce about the game from those days compared to now. Very entertaining conversation!
  25. spanman2
    For my money he seems to have a difficult time with pitch recognition. I wonder what % of his strikeouts over the years are swinging on sliders out of the zone? Obviously hope it clicks but we as fans have been saying that for years now.
