  1. "He's had four separate IL stints over the past two seasons, due to straining his quadriceps, adductor, hamstring, and oblique." It would seem Lewis' future as a regular starter is oblique. I don't know how the Twin's can plan on him. The only thing left is plan around him.
  2. I'm old, out of shape, and never been an athlete but, pulling Hamstrings running the bases? HE'S GOT TO BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG. Too much macho weight lifting? Is he doing this to himself or are the trainers/couches setting him up? I'm not thinking about him ever returning. Why waste the brain energy? I just pray they don't bring him back too soon or DH him.
  3. One of my two favorite players, Tony O. being the other. Thanks for putting this out there.
  4. The more I listen to the Pirate broadcast the more I love the Twins broadcast team. These guys are the PITTSburg.
  5. A rose by any other name... With all the other young pitchers I tend to forget about him. I really hope he breaks through and smells like a rose.
  6. Ditto the thanks. It's nice to see it in one table. They finally are showing the games on the MLB-TV Live and Archived Games schedule. At least a majority of games are watchable from somewhere. I guess if you watch through Twins-TV without the MLB-TV option you get less Twins games? I hope everyone can enjoy baseball over the next month.
  7. When baldelli talks what I hear is "blah, blah, blah..." Monty_Blah_Blah_Short.mp4
  8. This is the first time I've had the guts to start a topic... The Twins first ST game is in 8 days. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's overly anxious to see live baseball, even if it's mostly rookies trying out for the team. I watch with MLB-TV since I live out of the territory. Right now they are not showing any ST on the TV schedule. I don't remember how this works. I know not every game is televised but is there a source where we can see some sort of schedule? Am I missing something? I'm in my 70s but right now I feel like I'm 10.
  9. About that entrance. When a player is struggling and is still faced with an unrealistic hype like that entrance wouldn't that effect them as far as trying too hard to live up to the hype? The entrance wore thin with me last year. I can't think it helped Duran.
  10. You're standing in the Grand Canyon?😄 I said it out loud 3 times with you.
  11. I REALLY like Miranda. He hasn't always been consistent and 23 was a wash because he over trained in the off-season but he's had moments where he shined. I can't guess what hey plan on doing but I hope Miranda gets a good chance to stick one place most of the time.
  12. Hader, and Coulombe, and France, OH MY! Hader, and Coulombe, and France, OH MY! Does that make Falvey the Wizard of Ahhs 😒 ?
  13. Maybe I was trying to be too clever. Often people combat frustration with an attempt at humor. I see Baldelli as the worst part of the Twins organization and their current situation. I don't care about his time as a player. Beyond him not being the best manager I think he is so awful I think he is ruining the game. Not everyone agrees, maybe very few agree. I've read a lot of comments I thought were ridiculous. Many people here are passionate about their beliefs. That's mine. Sometimes if I don't laugh I'll cry. I do appreciate your comment though.
  14. Hard for young players to get good at hitting both ways if not given the chance. I read all the articles about potential hot prospects in the minors but my heart aches because they probably won't be given a decent chance.
  15. I'll go one further and say he doesn't approach baseball like he has any sense of intuition at all. (I wanted to say he doesn't approach baseball like he's even human but my wife said that's too harsh so I won't.)
  16. "Did the Pohlads have a change of heart?" Did they even have one in the first place? Sorry that was mean and uncalled for. Just couldn't pass it up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's frustrating not knowing what's going through the owners and FO heads.
  17. Harsh... but I'm right there with ya. I'd do the same if I had a rocco jersey, and darts. Lawn darts would be best.
  18. If only his first name was Garth, then we'd really have something.
  19. I use Firefox on Windows 10. For several weeks I'll be scrolling and suddenly it stops and the scroll bar on right is gone. I have to hit refresh to get it back. One time it happened six times in less than a minute. The only good thing is after the refresh I'm still at same place on the page. Other thing is when scrolling sometimes it will freeze for several seconds, scroll bar is still there. This one could be my computer although not happening with other sites. It's never crashed the browser session. I should try Chrome but haven't yet
  20. I have a cousin that knows someone that overheard someone in the checkout at the grocery store say that the Twins legal team was filing a Cease and desist order to stop these trade rumors.
  21. Does Baldelli have the intuition and knowledge to make decisions to place the players mentioned in their best primary position, the discipline and faith to stick with them a reasonable amount of time, and the ability to make brain/gut decisions when adjustments are warranted ???? I DON'T' THINK SO. He hasn't shown such abilities in the past. Why would he start now?
  22. Baldelli managed six years and all of a sudden he invents a new way to approach the game? If he can't figure out how to manage his young players, stop his fixation with matchups, and make some decisions from his gut it won't mater.
  23. The FO has been sketchy at best in reporting on player status in the past. I don't trust anything they say. But I am hopeful.
  24. " but the Twins may have encountered a stumbling block regarding their development process." The Stumbling Block is the manager, or the FO if they are pulling his strings. They keeping throwing things against the wall to see if anything sticks. They seem to be driven by analytics and don't have much ability to manage players as humans.
