    Shave off the hair and I'm pretty sure that I shared a barracks with guy in Ft. Polk long about '72.

    Three possible reasons for Lewis' resurgence (so far): 1) The staff in St. Paul made some adjustments on his stance and/or swing. 2) His new eye-black pattern is more effective. 3). Having served some time in St. Paul scared him straight, and for now his head is screwed-on properly. I pick #3! As Yogi may have said long ago: "Baseball is ninety percent mental, and the other half is physical"

    Wow, the polar opposite of the 11-0 fiasco. This is the exciting team that we've had a few glimpses of this year! Please get these guys a somewhat reliable bullpen...is that too much to ask?

    Or, bamboozled?

    Peter, can you can you summon up enough mojo (and special icons) to give the Twins a bit of a winning streak? I request that they play .700 ball for the rest of the month...see what you can do.

    Hard to deny...

    Love Buxton...super-talented player and a future Twins' Hall of Fame inductee. But he looks like an overmatched rookie on many of his strikeouts. If pitchers conspired across MLB to refuse to throw him hittable balls I think he'd end up with 4 BB and 6 K for every 10 AB!

    Right, it's just so sad to see the pen implode again especially after the solid outing for Prielipp.
  9. knothole61
    Yes, condemning second guessing "is a thing" too, although I'm not sure what good a discussion page would be if fans weren't free to second guess aspects of the games.

    The homer Morris surrendered ended up atop Target Center in a bed of drought-resistant sedum plants. Hindsight is 20/20, but I'd have left Prielipp in until he hit 90 pitches.

    The team is frustratingly bad but all I've been watching for a few weeks now is the wild card race. We are 7 games below .500 and 7 games out of first place but just 3 off the last wild card spot even after taking it in the shorts at home to the thoroughly-mediocre Royals. If we can tighten up just a bit the wild card race should be relevant into September, and realistically all one can ask for each season is to play meaningful games in the last weeks The last wild card team will likely be one and done; but hey, it's baseball and on any given day! Remember that the World Champion 1987 Minnesota Twins only won 29 of 81 road games and finished the regular season 85-77. Chip and a chair and a chance, baby!

    dj, man I was praying for a big, game-winning hit in the ninth for him...that might have been the jump start he needs. Maybe tomorrow? The talent IS inside of him...
  13. knothole61
    Yeah, you can see Kreisler calling the ball on the replay and when the centerfielder calls others must get out of his way. For as long as he's been here Larnach is still a mystery to me...I don't dislike him necessarily, but I certainly don't understand him either. At times he seems to have a low baseball IQ, maybe?
  14. knothole61
    Nice win...I like Martin in right. Probability that I would go crazy if AppleTV covered all the games: 97%!
  15. knothole61
    Yep, meet the new Sox, not the same as the old Sox!
  16. knothole61
    Ah, the former Twin for a few hours! Yeah, he cost the Blue Jays the World Series (and me $1,000) last season by sliding and not running through home plate. So, no thanks!
  17. knothole61
    My suggestion: always walk Bobby Witt unless the bases are loaded...
  18. knothole61
    I'm pretty sure that it was a buck to get into the Met Stadium bleachers in 1965 and 4 bits for a hot dog!
  19. knothole61
    Some manageable teams coming up in June...take three from KC and two from Detroit and we are solidly back in the mix at least for a wild card spot. Oh...and a sweep of Chicago tomorrow would be sweet!
  20. knothole61
    Yeah, that inning-ending challenge was great!
  21. knothole61
    How about this: make a deal with him, if he reaches an .850 OPS the eye black stays until he slips below it? How about that?
  22. knothole61
    dj, we can't know for sure, but he's always appeared very sincere to me. He's one of those guys who really seems to love playing the game as far as I can tell. Again, I'm just guessing, but Larnach seems to be his polar opposite in terms of apparent zeal and expressiveness. I just can't figure out what makes Trevor tick..
  23. knothole61
    Please leave me Jeffers...for the love of God SD Tom, leave me Jeffers!
  24. knothole61
    The guy has an incredible upside and we've seen it. I'd keep him in St. Paul throughout June and if he stays hot bring him back to the Twins. I think that he lost his confidence in the Bigs and is regaining it in St. Paul. If confidence was primarily what he's been lacking then his time in the minors could set him straight again.
  25. knothole61
    Yeah, Ryan was bitten by the White Sox home run bug--I think they score in the neighborhood of 45% of their runs on homers! The Sox are fast becoming a good team and any win over them strangely has an orgiastic feel to it.
