    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."

    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.

    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).

    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)?

    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.

    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!"

    TC signed a lifetime contract... he just never said whose lifetime...

    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.)

    We believe.

    Pro Tip: Record Album frames work really well!

    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.

    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!

    When Buxton is ready to play center again, Twins will have a right-handed DH or pinch-hitter off of the bench then.

    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.

    That had to be tough for Morneau to watch. Chisolm (edited: originally named Soler as the victim) sliding into second and taking a knee to the head... Flashbacks to 2010...

    May I add a couple? Both from 1991: - Mike Pagliarulo, Game 3 of the 1991 ALCS. Extra-innings to lead the Twins to a road victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, and retake the series lead 2-1. - Scott Leius, Game 2 of the 1991 World Series. First at-bat of the bottom of the 8th inning, tie game, pitcher's duel between Kevin Tapini and Tom Glavine. Glavine only gave up four hits all game; and the 4th was a game-winning homerun to the light-hitting Leius. Someone else mentioned Orlanda Cabrera's homerun from Game 163; a great inclusion. If the list was a Top 10, I think they'd be on there (nestled between a could of Killebrew's, I'm certain.)

    If the team on the field at CHS is not enough to keep us going back, the promos, theme games, and between-inning games will. Waiting for the next Bring Your Dog To The Park game, and Christmas in July!

    If MLB ever decides against allowing its players to participate in the World Baseball Classic against teams around the world, then they need to rename the World Series (which sees 29 teams from the United States of America and one Canadian team.)

    The Twins played in a very bad division in 1987; only one other team finished above .500 that season. If there was a Central division in 1987, Twins would have finished third behind Detroit and Milwaukee (an AL team back then.)

    I like to believe that history repeats itself; and the last time the Twins had a complete relaunch of their logos and uniforms was in the offseason before 1987... There was no social media then, but I'm sure there were many, many fans who were more upset at the Twins 16 year-playoff drought at that time than the new M logo at the time replacing the "TC" that the Twins had worn for a quarter-of-a-century at that time. Pass us the Kool-Aid, too. We've been sipping, but with Opening Day less than two weeks away, let's go ahead and chug now.

    I went to Anaheim last summer and sat in right field. Some Angels fan had the absolute worst heckling I've ever heard directed at Max. "Hey, Kepler! Watch out, they might hit the ball to you!" (Spoiler; the Angels did a couple of times, and Max caught them all.)

    It really embiggened the entire article.

    If nothing else, I hope Miguel Cabrera gets the send-off he deserves as he makes the rounds for his final season. He was a Twin killer once-upon-a-time, and I have to believe he'll get some sort of farewell when the Tigers visit Target Field for the final time this season August 15-16.

    If the Twins carry the traditional five-man rotation, and there's only one off-day between the Season Opener and the Home Opener (that being the day after the Season Opener) then the #2 starter will open the season at home. But that also means then the Opening Day starter would not pitch against the reigning World Series champs (Astros) at home that first homestand (they'd pitch the lone night game against the White Sox.) So just some extra layers to work out.
