  1. Goody, I was worried about Margot's pinch hitting record being forgotten.
  2. why doe it feel like the Twins are giving Crash Davis a major league contract?
  3. I believe this is going to be Paddacks year. He will be the ace of the staff by July 1st. I'm sticking to my avocado toast and making my oat milk white chocolate mocha a Grande. Two years in a row of payroll cuts has me thinking of other things to do this summer than fight traffic, pay $25 for parking and $100 per ticket for the opportunity to pay $8 for a coke and $10 for a hot dog. I can cut my budget along with the Polads.
  4. My most lasting memory of Cave was when I met friends in Cleveland and Cave was playing center field for the Twins. The first two Cleveland batters hit routine fly balls to Cave. He dropped both of them.
  5. Very nice article but you missed the true nature of the Twins off season plans when Falvey upgraded his meal to supersize he had to pay for it out of his own pocket.
  6. Credit to him for not sticking around just to keep cashing the nice MLB paycheck. I liked him and never thought he was 'that bad' of an outfielder. Certainly not Delmon Young bad. But I wish nothing but the best for him in the future.
  7. I feel like it's grasping at straws to call this season a star season for Buxton. He nursed an injury again, he was rested a lot again, and he spent a long time on IR again. In order for me to call any Buck season a star season he should man center field for 150 games and swing the bat well, steal some bases and cause havok on the base paths. Until then it's another Buck season, an oh what might have been season.
  8. my prediction is they double down on their development hopeful prospects. All of whom need more work to be a MLB player. Julien, it's hard to believe he played 2nd in college. Maybe a smaller cap would help with his hitting. He is lost at the plate. Lee, isn't up to MLB speed yet. TK always talked about the speed of the game. Needs a defensive home. And a smaller helmet. Lewis, needs a defensive home and become slump proof. Needs to quit lunging and swinging for the fences. Martin, needs to square up the ball. I don't care if he hits singles but the hits sound like he got jammed every time. Needs a defensive home. Miranda, needs a defensive home and stay healthy. Wallner, not sure if he can improve his defense and cut down on the strikeouts but I think he is easily a 30 plus homer guy if he plays everyday. Leave him in right field.
  9. Not quite like waiting for Aaron to hit number 714.
  10. Apathy is worse. I'm a homer fan, I love that we have a professional baseball team in Minnesota. I watched almost every game on TV this year, and last, and the year before that and the year before that.....My TV package was chosen because it can get the Twins telecast. I attended 2 games this year, with my wife and a couple grandkids in tow. It cost more than $500 each game. I have receipts. I can't justify more games than that when ownership purposely made this years team worse than last years team. If they left town I would miss them but would easily find something else to do.
  11. I think the Twins believe that all they need to do is show up and they will win the game. They sure are not hustling, not playiing good defense and lallygag their way on the bases.
  12. but the Twins are fighting fighting fighting to win this game. I wonder if the front office is watching this game? Maybe MLB can let teams start with a runner on 3rd after 12 innings.
  13. he last bite I saw was Rocco saying "some of these guys have not been through this before and don't know how hard it is" Gee, and they also don't know how much is sucks to go to work on a Friday on a long weekend, or an early shift with a hangover, I guess it's ok to not take batting practice.
  14. LOUIE!!!
  15. If Topa gets into the game in anything other than mop up time Rocco has offically thrown in the towel and is looking towards next year.
  16. Best of health to you. Thanks for the reminder that there are way more important things than a baseball team owned by a billionaire family that still feels the need to squeeze every drop of money out of it that it can squeeze.
  17. On paper, the 2024 team should be worse than the 2023 team. It's starting to look like the 2024 team will end up with a worse record and no playoffs. As expected. I think the Pohlads thought it was time for the pitching pipeline to provide some pitching to the major league club instead of shelling out for free agent pitching. Unfortunately the pipeline is only providing a trickle of help. The defense has not helped the pitchers either. It has cost the Twins a few runs, many more pitches thrown and the snowball effect of longer innings and loss of momentum and added pressure on itself. A win streak right now is all the therapy I need.
  18. Don't stop, you're on a roll.
  19. Correa can sure play glove.
  20. Provich is excited to not have to announce in the rain.
  21. why would you walk the leadoff hitter?
  22. and 0 for 30...a new record!!!
