    I've never understood why they do that in many cases. How does that help or protect anyone/anything?
  2. T.O.
    Mine as well.

    They traded a batting champ to get Lopez and signed him to a 73,500,000 contract. They have to justify it. Ryan has a 3,000,000 contract.

    1st inning is Ober.
  5. T.O.
    Did that really just happen?
  6. T.O.
    Guess that's why he's called "Hurter".
  7. T.O.
    I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that.
  8. T.O.
    But they stood there with a real aggressive look.
  9. T.O.
    Since they are "Beat" writers did they "Howl" before they headed out "On the Road" to Detroit?

    I used to live in Des Moines and worked in Ames for awhile. Love the city. You can always take a radio.

    At least we've had the chance to play some intractable teams.

    Pretty sure the Twins don't care if the fans are happy.
  14. T.O.
    That's not how to de feet the Mariners.
  15. T.O.
    Only when we reach the Outer Limits.

    Hall of Famer with decades of experience going back to the beginning of the Twins vs brief moments of excellence mixed with a huge amount of time as a broken down cheer leader, that's a tough call.
  17. T.O.
    Somebody wants to pay for this?
  18. T.O.
    That was the title of a 1960 book written by Joe Gargiola but now I'm just showing my age.

    I think it would be better if Lewis just learned to keep his mouth shut.
  20. T.O.
    I'm naive enough to be surprised. Shocked actually. I don't think I can watch another season of Rocco ball.

    if all the people making uninformed opinions left this forum it would be a lonely place. "As decade's-long athletic coach and trainer, I probably do have more information than most." I yield to your superior knowledge. It doesn't make me any less of a fan though. Since "99+% of fans are ignorant of the majority of ongoings within a sports organization" perhaps it is you that is in the wrong forum.
  22. T.O.
    Reading comments on Twins Daily it is clear that a majority of fans have very strong opinions about what's wrong and what should be done about it. I doubt many of us can say we agree with half of what we read here. Using words like "the ignorance of the fan", "insanely ludicrous", and "peanut gallery" cross a line for me into personal insult. Unless you have insider access to the training process of the Twins do you really know any more than anyone else about this? The comments you refer to are just a valid as yours. The difference is they are less insulting,

    "Unfortunately for Lewis, a segment of the Twins fan base will not forget these injuries, no matter how well he performs when healthy." It works the other way too. A lot of us fixate on the good performance times and can't forget that. I did that with Miranda. Going back to 22 he has some great stretches of performance. I held on to that and overlooked the greater periods of time he performed poorly. A lot of people do that with Lewis. I see Lewis as an undependable, injury prone player who occasionally was a monster home run hitter. Hard to say how we all come up with our bias for and against a player. But we do change eventually.
  24. T.O.
    The Twins have been far from their "best" most of the year, with him or without him.
  25. T.O.
    Clearly he is doing something wrong. The Twins training philosophy isn't working, at least for Lewis. A more holistic approach may be called for. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This is an unfair weight for a young player to carry, especially given how many of Lewis’s injuries have been freak occurrences rather than signs of chronic fragility. " I completely disagree with the "Freak occurrences". He either is built unstable or he is doing something drastically wrong.
