    Nothing? Technically, Mickey Gasper does exist... : )

    I've had my pocket picked too, so I understand why you've gone from a dozen games a year to zero. I attended 13 losing Twins game in a row from 2011 to 2015....I felt like my pocket was picked even that far back.

    I thought it was a Houston hat at first glance. Can't imagine the uniform that goes with it.

    Wow, BRILLIANT...back the fundamentals!! Who knew that actually throwing to the right cutoff man, executing a sacrifice bunt, etc, etc were that important to winning baseball?

    What does France have in common with fine wine? - Both are enjoyed on rare occasions. - Both are over priced. - Both are commonly found in the cellar.

    France sucks. My guess is Miranda won't have to worry about feeling like a lost tourist in Paris."

    "First base is easy?" Tell that to the guy who just turned a routine grounder into a three-base error.

    Whoever makes it, with our front office... ....they might immediately traded him for two prospects and a player to be named later.

    I prefer to keep things simple, like Gary Gaetti: "I always swing hard in case I hit it."

    They say you get what you pay for, but the Twins keep trying to prove ‘em wrong.

    Signing Bregman would be great.... but free agents don’t want to come here, and the ones that do, we can’t afford.

    Enjoyed the article. A monkey throwing darts would probably perform better as a GM.

    I was a hot dog vendor at the Met in 1977. When Carew came to the plate it was useless to try to sell anything...fans just wanted to see him hit. I'd park myself in an ideal spot behind the plate and watch the at bat myself.

    I hope the first thing the new ownership does is do away with Mr. Creativity.
  15. BillyBallLives
    Agreed! Same song, different verse.

    For whoever wins MVP in 2025, the bar has been set about as low as it goes.
  17. BillyBallLives
    Twins have really boxed themselves in on this one.
  18. BillyBallLives
    Wow, in Tiant's year with the Twins he hit .406. 32 at bats, 13 hits, 4 doubles, only 6 Ks

    As a 10 year old fan, found out where he lived and knocked on his door for an autograph....he signed the book with a smile. Great guy! He lived in those apartments straight back from center field behind The Met. Hard to believe players back then were that accessible.

    It's a memory so here it goes. I was in first grade, my school bus would drive past the back side of Met Stadium. I saw that the parking lot was packed as well as the stands. I had no idea what was going on, just knew something different was going on over there. Didn't become a Twins fan until 1969. When Billy Martin was the manager.

    Twins should just hire a 5th grader with a laptop and let AI tell him what to do.

    Since Baldelli is the topic here, interested in any comments on this quote by Rocco: Has baseball changed that much, or is Rocco just looking for another excuse? ----- "Having one strength that can carry you for a long time -- those strengths don’t necessarily carry you for that long anymore,” Baldelli said. “You have to keep changing with the game and we’ve always talked about adjustment-making being important, but you can’t survive and flourish in today’s game without the ability to change things on the fly, on your feet, and become a different kind of hitter.”

    So, just following your logic, if the USA produces inferior automobiles, I should keep buying them? To do anything else will guarantee an even more inferior automobile?
  24. BillyBallLives
    A VERY Good question.. 37% of the Twins budget was spent on two part-time players. ( Correa/ Buxton) If you look at the other teams you mentioned, you'll probably see a much better balance on how the money was spent.
  25. BillyBallLives
    Ditto here!!! It's the only message ownership will respond to.....I'll only go to a game if the tickets are free...with free parking.
