    Looks like this team is already calling it a season, in the 5th game. They don't even look like they care anymore. << That's my issue with the team, it's like they have guarenteed contracts or something!

    My TV feed is fine. I'm watching on MLB Twins TV.

    Okay, this is relevant today

    He's not about to take one in the eye, him and his wife have some plans for when his career is over.

    I think it's mopre important that they play well tonight. The Twins have had very few crisp and cleanly played games in their last 50 or so.

    I have a feeling that Jayce Tingler would be named interim manager if Rocco was fired. Tingler was fired from the Padres job for the same reason Rocco is on the hot seat, underperforming team and too much commitment to the IPAD and statistics. Not sure if that would be an upgrade or just a lateral move.

    Removing Buxton and Correa after 3 innings is a head scratcher. Was he waving the white flag or was he sending some sort of message to the troops?

    I'm not a numbers cruncher, so I cheated and looked at ESPN's fantacy draft rankings. The only Twins hitters drafted in more than 50% of leagues are Correa, Castro (position versatility) and that's all. (10 team league) How this is perceived as a stacked lineup is beyond me but I think we as fans have a skewed view. We overvalue the team prospects as well as big league players. It was a bad start to the season made worse because the players looked uninspired and coasting on the field, just like the last half of last year.

    If I had a nickle for everytime I said that..........

    -who is the only player to ever be caught stealing to end a World Series? I got this one but not the attendance record.

    I'm glad to read you're sure that you're a female. Too much confusion for opening day!

    Like a winner. Hopefully my opening day optimism last all year long.

    I just checked Fubo's upcoming schedule and there are no Twins vs Cardinals games on the schedule.

    A $2.00 trifecta bet on Lewis, Buxton and Correa all spending at least 20 days on the IL would pay the minimum pay out of $2.10. They are all extradornially exceptional athletes but with that talent comes injuries.

    Owners are invested financially. Fans are invested emotionally. Now the owners are rejecting our emotions by not improving the team and selling their part of the investment. Why should we invest more than the owners?

    How in the world did Topa get a raise after appearing in less than a handful of games last year?

    Jason Bartlet in 2014 spring training. I was sure Gardy was going to keep him on the roster just for old times sake. Jason Kubel in his last 1/2 year with the Twins. Same as Bartlet. Neither was a one game situation but the whole body of work. Their swings just were not connecting with good contact.

    Rumor has it Miguel Sano was in camp but nobody recognized him because he was under 210 lbs, beat Buxton in a foot race around the bases and never swung at a pitch without clobbering a rope to the outfield.

    We can hope the new ownership group treats the roster like a fantasy team ala Cohen and the Mets but most billionaires do not lose money on their investments. I like the idea of locking up Twins players for the players security as well as the Twins'. I am grateful for the Pohlad family for keeping the Twins in Minnesota and let's not forget at one time they signed the largest $$$ deal to a player (Puckett) in history. Lots of Twins Daily posters can't wait for new owners but like the saying goes....be careful for what you wish for, you just might get it.

    If Paddock returns to his earlier career form the Twins will have a front of the rotation starter pitching in the 5th spot. I know I am biased as I was in Denver in 2023 at the end of the season and he was the best pitcher to pitch in that 3 game series for either team. The Rockies hit nothing off of him, totally dominant. I'd like him to stay, if he fizzles put him on IR for the rest of the season and move on at seasons end.

    Uecker's portrayl of announcer Harry Doyle in the movie Major League is one of the best characters ever.

    What happens if the new owners want to cut payroll instead of add payroll? There's as much chance of that as adding payroll.

    If I was going to quibble with your rankings I would say Buxton has to be on the list. He is a game changer when he is manning center field. There is value in that, even if he is injured often. When he is injured his salary is probably covered by an insurance policy. Thanks Nick for the list and the read.

    It sure does not sound that way to me. Weak hits and contact was what I witnessed. He just seemed overmatched to me and what's worse was his answer to a reporters question when he said something along the lines of "I knew I could play at this level and I'm doing it". If the Twins were not trying to resurrect Calvin Griffith Ball Martin would still be in the minors. I guess I was hoping for better from a number 5 overall pick.
