    so what was that talk of what the Twins need in the 'second' round of the playoffs?
  2. ziggy
    Now it is.
  3. ziggy
    at least the Twins have their "A" squad relievers ready to go today. need 4 innings though.

    so the latest waiver wire pickup is batting third for the Twins. How is this club in first place?

    Don't know. I wonder if he did that while in Houston or if it is a new thing since coming to Minnesota? Either way I have complete confidence in him making the play no matter the situation. The man can play glove. Always seems to have a genuine smile on his face and I believe he makes the rest of the infielders better players.

    the non first baseman cost Duran a chance at his first 1-2-3 inning in over a month.
  7. ziggy
    But not Pedro Florimon.

    I like Lewis's chances at sticking at 3rd base but he has to stop with the double tap of the glove before throwing to first base.

    How about on the porch? I'm scared of heights.

    Gardy also wanted Gomez gone despite being great in centerfield because he refused quit swinging for the fences and play small ball. Perhaps why the Twins brass lets Buxton keep swinging and flailing away.

    I can't wait to see Pagan close out tomorrows victory!! Good for Rocco, about time he tries to light a fire under the rosters ass. As a team they look like they are grinding out the dog days of summer, not June and atop of the division.

    I attended the Kernels game tonight (June 23). They looked hungover. Made 3 errors(if there was an honest scorekeeper) many bad at bats and poor pitching. A couple of homers was the only highlight. Marco Raya gave up a ton of hard hit balls and the following pitchers did not impress. Miller had a couple of decent plays at shortstop and has really nice hair. They scored 5 runs after the game was out of hand to make the score much closer than the game felt. This review written by someone that has a hard time following the batted ball........

    It's obvious that Buxton is still having knee problems. He will not be manning center field anytime soon. After last nights Angels game where he ran full speed twice he was lifted in the sixth inning with leg stiffness. I'd rather see him DH than not see him play at all. Taylor is fine in center, Celestino looks like a 'maybe' for next year or perhaps Buxton can be in center next year. I know I should be used to disappointment but damn, Buxton has the talent to be compared to Willie Mays, why can't us Minnesota Twins fans have our cake and eat it too?

    Sadly, the article sems to close to the truth to be satire.

    Yes, under the second deck overhang, it's also less steps to walk down from the vendors also.

    Josh Donaldson was supposed to start a re-hab stint today but his hamstring is still tight so he will be out longer than 10 days. I'm guessing his hammy was the reason he seemed to only run half speed when he was a Twin.

    Good memory!!

    Too bad we don't have poisonous snakes and alligators to get the full off course experience.

    Jake Odorizzi is out for the season after shoulder surgery. The Rangers traded a prospect for him in November and he will not throw a pitch for them in 2023 and will become a free agent at the end of this season.

    We do not know the status of Buxtons knee. Last year when Baldelli said 'day off' for Buxton it was when the knee had to be drained. He does not look back to normal when running. I think there is a lingering injury issue with Buxton and for some reason the Twins have copied the NFL's vague injury status updates. Remember 'Bi-lateral leg weakness' that took someone out for almost a whole year?

    Nuke, call me nuke. I'm am impressed with Gallo's defense at first base. Much improved over Sano's defense. He is growing on me. As Harmon Killebrew once said "what's better? A strike out or a weak hit ball to second base?"
  22. ziggy
    Did anyone else watch Buxton's running on the triple he hit today? He got there easily but his running was not like in previous years. He also was laboring with his breathing so I think his conditioning is behind 'opening day ' levels leading me to believe his knee or hip is still an issue. Taylor may be playing at more than replacement level all year.

    I bet the over in Las Vegas last month with the line at 78 1/2. I also bet them to win the central at plus 290, so almost 3 to 1. Buxton at 33 to 1 to win the league MVP. Moral of my post is to shop around if you're going to place a bet. I would take to over on Lopez, Ryan and Buxton. Pass on Correa to answer the question.
  24. ziggy
    Um, they all played professional baseball before Luis Arraez?
  25. ziggy
    I know this site does not talk about betting but I got 33 to 1 odds on Buxton winning the MVP in Las Vegas last month. He has the talent, Correa hitting next to him and competing with him at the team level, and the motivation to do it. Besides, the Minnesota sports teams are due........
