    I learned all of the Spanish I know from Bumblebee Man on The Simpsons. With the problems they've been getting into with Apu lately, I'm sure that's a bad thing and I should be ashamed.

    Hasn't Sano come close to charging the mound already? He had to be restrained by McCann and an umpire when Boyd threw behind him, leading to a benches-clearing... not full on brawl... a benches-clearing shoving match.

    Fun Fact: According to MLB's Social Media sites, the only two teams currently active in Major League Baseball are the Yankees and whomever is playing the Yankees.

    That's very brave of the Twins, facing the defending World Champions without a third baseman.

    It's past time for Eddie to be dropped in the batting order. Move Escobar to third, drop Sano to clean-up, and drop Rosario anywhere down 7-9. He's popped out to the infield too many times in an effort to crush the ball 400+ feet instead of just making solid contact. Batting clean-up seems to have messed with his mindset, much like Buxton batting third in 2017. Unfortunately for Rosario, the frustrations at the plate seem to be carrying over to the field (which Buxton thankfully hasn't experienced through his struggles last year and the start of this.)

    Eleven walks! Ironically, those 11 walks are giving me a nosebleed in frustration.
  7. woolywoolhouse
    Ten walks by Twins pitchers in 7+ innings of work. If that control is blamed on the cold... then we're in for a lot of walks at Target Field through the first half of April.
  8. woolywoolhouse
    I see Robbie Grossman 2017 is back, taking a called strike three down the middle of the plate while trying to coax a walk.
  9. woolywoolhouse
    Down 5-0 and you "chip" one down the third base line? Isn't that against the unwritten rules, Escobar?
  10. woolywoolhouse
    If they're discontinuing it just because Bert is only doing half of the games, couldn't they switch it to his full-time broadcast partner? "Circle Me Dick" signs at Target Field all year!
  11. woolywoolhouse
    If only the Twins could get a newer stadium, so they can get the revenue required to sign homegrown free agent stars when the time comes.

    February 19th (President's Day) at 2pm CST: Twins announce they've reached an agreement through arbitration with starter Kyle Gibson, and have agreed to a three-year extension.
  13. woolywoolhouse
    Show me in the rulebook where it says a dog CAN'T pitch in the majors?
  14. woolywoolhouse
    Why should the Front Office say they're open to spending more money in the paper or online? That only weakens their negotiations when the time comes.

    http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2017/11/07/plane-crash-gulf-of-mexico/ Some reports are saying Halladay perished in the crash... still awaiting some confirmation...

    Would a team really want to hire Gardenhire as manager when they'd have to play the Yankees 19 times a year?
  18. woolywoolhouse
    The last two times the Minnesota Twins beat the Yankees (or won postseason games at all) were in New York with Johan Santana on the mound. Who's pitching tonight? Johan (his legal first name) "Ervin" Santana. This is fate. I hope.

    I have a feeling around 7:45pm he'll have made his way to the floor to play with Lego, and around 9pm he'll put himself to bed.

    My son is 6, and just getting into baseball. I was 7 in 1987, and remember watching the Twins/Tigers at home with my dad; I'll be continuing the cycle with my son in my living room tomorrow night.

    Perkin's last warm-up. 09/29/17. Would have gotten some during and after photos of his lone at-bat, but I was watching, applauding, and thanking the man.

    The weekend sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Just a few weeks after the FO traded away their new starter and All-Star Closer, and the Twins needed to prove they belonged in the Playoff picture (after dropping 2 of 3 to Cleveland at home) against one of the NL's hottest teams. And the Twins dominated. A 10-3 win on Friday (six homers); 5-0 win on Saturday (Twins chased Zack Greinke after just four innings); and a huge 12-5 win on Sunday (which included a 9-run first inning.) Of course, it helps that I was at all three games that weekend, too. The Diamondbacks also took that sweep and turned it up following that, winning 9 of 10 to finish August strong (including three game sweeps of the Giants and then the Dodgers.)
  23. woolywoolhouse
    Worst case: this gives the Twins a right-handed pinch hitter (for when a club brings in a lefty to pitch to Max Kepler in the later innings) who isn't Ehire Adrianza or Mitch Garver.
  24. woolywoolhouse
    Anytime someone points out that the Twins are only the second WIld Card team, I remind them that in 1987 the Twins were the fifth best team in the American League (they won the West, but the Tigers, Blue Jays, Brewers, and Yankees in the East all had a higher winning percentage that year.) Thirty years ago... it smells like destiny.

    Line up Berrios to pitch at Target Field. His home/road splits are notably different.
