  1. Billy Beane: "You don't know how to play first base. Scott... It's not that hard, Scott. Tell him Wash." Ron Washington: "It's incredibly hard." Billy Beane: [Making an awkward, Brad-Pitt expression.] "Hey, anything worth doing is."
  2. Has Correa gotten new shoes? He moved on from Nike as of last September. He's at that age, I think New Balance is really the way to go.
  3. During the Twins' win streak, I had the good fortune and opportunity (and luck) to speak with former MLB pitcher Dan Ford, who was in town with his wife. We were talking about the win streak, and he imparted the following bit of wisdom: "In sports, the losses can be just as important as the wins. You learn more about yourself and your team from how they handle a loss, than how they handle wins." And this seven-game slide showed the Twins something that they discussed in their players-only meeting. Now to see if it can continue (again).
  4. Former MLB pitcher Tony Arnold was at the game last Friday night, and chatting with him, he was raving about the Twins' performance during the streak, and then added: "Baseball is the only sport where the losses can be just as important as the wins." He then explained it's always how you come out of a loss, what you learn from it, and how you improve that tells you how the season is going to go. Well, after Sunday afternoon's loss that ended the streak, I'd say the Twins' 3-1 victory against one of the league's top current pitchers in Castillo was a sign that the 2024 Twins learned from their losses, and turn them into strengths. Now, when are they going to start playing Outkast's "Hey Ya!" after Twins' wins (particularly the "Shake it like a Polaroid" line)?
  5. This is all just part of the Joe Ryan Experience. Keep your hands and feet inside at all times, store loose items in the pocket of the seat in front of you, and enjoy the ride.
  6. We tried to start a GoFundMe for the Bear, but every time we put it up, GoFundMe takes it down. We asked why, and all they said was to "Go fund yourself!"
  7. It's all part of the Joe Ryan Experience™.
  8. TC signed a lifetime contract... he just never said whose lifetime...
  9. Too bad no photos exist of TC Bear since the Metrodome days. Maybe he no longer shows up on film (he doesn't have a reflection in mirrors, which is really creepy when he sneaks up behind you in the restrooms in the 1st Base Dugout Concession seats.)
  10. Anyone else old enough to remember 1987, and how we thankful that our 2023 Game 3 starter options are Ober, Ryan, and Maeda, and NOT Les Straker and Joe Niekro? In any case: Ryan starts Game 3; with Maeda close by should Ryan's short-leash require reeling in.
  11. Able to catch a few games of AK's at CHS Field. Even with their smaller spring crowds, hearing the ovations him and Jorge would get were always fun. And seeing him mash over the home run porch in right onto the roof is giving us visions of Jim Thome hitting the flagpole in right at Target Field!
  12. When Buxton is ready to play center again, Twins will have a right-handed DH or pinch-hitter off of the bench then.
  13. If the Twins' groundcrew could get away with it, they should hang this sign up all over the visitors' clubhouse and dugout next week when the Yankees are at Target Field.
