    Here we go Twiiiiiins, here we go I know, it's kind of sad, but I've been waiting a long time.

    Collabello BOOM! Man, would I love to be wrong about him...
  3. big dog
    Gee, and here Ed Farmer was talking about how last year was bad Sox baseball, but there's a bunch of new players who are guaranteed to play good ball. Other than executing rundowns and catching line drives, anyway.
  4. big dog
    Agreed, zero chance I would even try to walk into a South Side Sox bar and cheer for the Twins. Even if it worked, it wouldn't be fun.
  5. big dog
    Nope. Wherever I am is automatically Twins territory. That's just how it works.

    I'm about 35 miles north of Cellular Field. It stopped raining perhaps a half-hour ago and the sky is overcast but starting to clear. Wind has died down a bit too. I predict the game starts reasonably close to the scheduled time, in front of about 150 fans.

    My daughters and nephews think of the Twins as Joe Mauer and Everyone Else. Ok, the youngest daughter thought Casilla was cute, but she wanted a Mauer jersey.
  8. big dog
    You must have missed the various stories about Sano and Rosario.

    Lyman Bostock quickly became one of my favorite players. IMO, he was the best home-grown talent the team had since Carew. He seemed like a wonderful person, which is even better. I am personally glad that players can't be free agents after 3 ML seasons any more. The players may disagree.

    Cards announcers and fans alike went "oooooooh" after a nice play by Florimon on a bouncer up the middle. I thought he had a chance, he made it look easy.
  11. big dog
    Man, I can hear Bob Casey's voice from the Met echoing...."Now batting for the Twins...Number 12....CEEEsarrr TOH-varrr!"
  12. big dog
    Hey Look! Worley gave up a hit!! Some of this difference is that we're facing Matt Moore, and they're facing well you know. OK, my bet is that Worley doesn't make it to the 3rd inning. Any takers?
  13. big dog
    He did get Longoria on a called 3rd strike. The ump looks to have a high strike zone tonight.
  14. big dog
    Worley's 10+ ERA jumped with a 3-run first tonight. No way do I want to trade Correia. It's going to be hard to evaluate talent when you are always 6 runs down. Now, trading Worley? I thought he was going to win the fifth starter job. Now I'd take about anything.
  15. big dog
    3-0, men on 2nd and 3rd, two outs in the first. Worley gets the third out on a deep fly to right. Tidy little 25-pitch inning. In related news, Sam Deduno and Scott Diamond just relaxed a little bit. Hey Ashbury, get loose- you're pinch-hitting if Worley's still in the game for the second inning.

    I like to know the % of runners in scoring position who a batter brings home, whatever the method. # of RBI as a total does help put that into context for sample size.
  17. big dog
    mlb.com is carrying it if you have an account 1-0 Twins on a hit, popup lost in sun, walk, sac fly by Escobar.
  18. big dog
    Dozier- what did you do differently in the second half of the season, and what have you figured out? What adjustments might you have to make this year based on how pitchers might change their plan?
  19. big dog
    I heard through the grapevine that the Orioles are scouting Rod Carew, too. Apparently his fungoes are really sharp and they think he might be able to help.
  20. big dog
    Wow, am I ever looking forward to having more speed on the team. OK, and more power. And more pitching. And better fielding. Nice to have some things to be encouraged about.
  21. big dog
    This is what it's all about, and thank you so much for reminding us. Have a fun spring!
  22. big dog
    For all the angst about the Twins' doctors, I don't think I trust Dr. Plummer's diagnosis at all. Meanwhile...."Here we go, Trevor, here we go!" <clap, clap> "Here we go, Trevor, here we go!"
  23. big dog
    Man, would I love to have Plouffe hit 25+ homers. I know it's not going to be a playoff year (ok, I'm 97% sure it's not going to be a playoff year), but I want some good things to cheer about. Trevor hitting bombs, and earning playing time somewhere, would be one of those things. Arcia hitting 20 without striking out 200 times would be another.
  24. big dog
    I'm not comparing them to late signings of days gone by. I'm saying right now, no major league team has signed Drew (or the others). If that doesn't at least cause a little concern, why not? Because every other team is set at shortstop?
  25. big dog
    To me, the better evidence of Drew's regard in baseball is that teams are reporting without him. That worries me. A lot. I'm not a huge Florimon supporter, but I don't expect the 2014 version of Drew to be all that good. Others have posted very thoughtful arguments to the contrary, which I respect. It will be interesting to see how he does this summer, wherever he lands.
