    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.

    Gray faced 7 batters 3 times tonight. Maybe Rocco has been reading T.D. and is taking hints to leave the pitcher face the lineup more than twice.

    I guess we will find out if Sale is still tipping his pitches. I think Buxton needs to sit a couple of games. He is chasing the low outside balls again and looking foolish. The front office is growing on me. Twins were in first place most of last year and are there now. Thanks goodness they are smarter than I am. I must say I like the stability and patience of the brain trust.

    Good memory!!

    The pipeline is coming into focus. I like this signing a lot. It takes the sting away from trading Arraez. Heck, Arraez has made an out in almost half of his at bats.

    If I know about it I'll keep it on the down LO.

    Twins pitcher allowed to throw over 100 pitches. That should be a victory for the team.

    Pagan could end up being the Fireman of the year.

    Has he adanced to eating solid food yet?

    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?"

    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.

    Um, they all played professional baseball before Luis Arraez?

    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........

    The rich continue to be the puppetmasters and the rest of us are on strings. Disgusting if it's true. Oh wait, goldilocks was for the Yankees so that makes it okay.

    Did you see that home run by some guy named Jake Cave? I wonder if the Twins can swing a trade for him.
  20. ziggy
    I don't think the umpires care about how they look. If they did Angel Hernandez would no longer be in the major leagues.

    He wants to go to a perennial world series contender. I think that excludes the Twins. A guy can dream though. A tad bit of flawed logic. If Ohtani pitches on Sunday and throws 100 pitches there is no way he plays the outfield for at least 3 days. So his salary should be a combined pitcher and DH.

    In an interview last year Theilbar stated that in his first go-round with the Twins he was pitching with an injury which limited what he could do. Now the injury is healed so he can pitch however he wants to. How old was Jim Kaat when he retired?

    I believe last years 'rest days' were days when his knee was too sore and swollen for him to run. I have Buxton pegged for 155 games, 48 homers, 135 RBI's, 30 stolen bases and the league MVP.

    Carlos said all the right things, did all the right things but in the end he did what's best for him and I can't blame him. Remember, he only came to Minnesota because he sees the ball well in Target Field. It was the springboard he needed for a better batting average and the big contract. I don't blame the Twins one bit for not matching $350 million. I wish him well.

    Does anyone actually think Falvey or Terry Ryan would come out and say "the Polads have me on a tight money leash so we have to bargin shop for player help"? We will never know how profitable the Twins are or aren't and it is easy to spend someone elses money. When Falvey first was hired I thought he did little free agent spending because of Mauers overweight contract. I understand not wanting an overweight contract but if that's todays market and they are not going to participate in it they need to stop trading prospects for pitchers like Gray and Lopez.
