  1. Anybody who scores from first on a single is special!! https://www.google.com/search?q=byron+buxton+scores+from+first+base+on+a+single&rlz=1C1CHBF_en&oq=byron+buxton+scores+from+first+base+on+a+single&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigATIHCAYQIRifBTIHCAcQIRiPAtIBCjE5OTk1ajBqMTWoAgiwAgHxBVKjFaegCUuT&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:fb97774a,vid:A1M5SBBpbp0,st:0
  2. β€œCulpepper at third base, Houston at shortstop, Lee at second base, Luke Keaschall at first base, and Royce Lewis serving as the primary designated hitter. Of course, one of the advantages of having so many athletic infielders is that nobody would need to be locked into a single position.” I believe their daily positions will ultimately be determined by Twins management hierarchy paradigm: ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, LIZARD, SPOCK.
  3. Austin Martin made a nice diving catch to his left. But nothing else suggested they ever had a chance.
  4. Does anyone know what the Twins record is in get-away games over the last two or three years? It seems to me they are really bad in them. But, it could also be right in line with their overall record.
  5. I am always amazed at the comments regarding Kody Clemens, no, Cody Clemens, no, Kody Clemons, no, Cody Clemons, no, Clemmons, no, Clemmens. These are are the different spellings I have seen in a TD search covering the last month. To all you commenters who can not spell a simple name, A BIG πŸ‘Ž.
  6. Agree. And he really is not β€œThe raw talent that made him the top pick in the draft is still present,”, anymore. He is having to figure out who he is after so many injuries that forced this change.
  7. Maybe somebody already comment on this. The K% is highlighted, but I think folks should also look at the BABIP. I would not be opposed to playing him, or trading him.
  8. Thank you for updating photos. I guess it was just my bone to chew. I will keep you informed if other items needing attention when I see them.πŸ˜‰
  9. Forgot to add Gonsalves link. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/gonsast01.shtml
  10. How about Stephen Gonsalves? In 2015 he split between A and A+. 13 - 3 with 134.1 IP. ERA of 2.01 SO of 132 BB of 53 WHIP of 1.102 I know nobody wants this comp. I agree with jmlease1 that it is good to be skeptical of A ball stats. Too easy just to overpower young hitters.
  11. Dan Serifini is in prison for murder. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/former-mlb-pitcher-dan-serafini-sentenced-life-prison-shooting-inlaws-rcna261115
  12. I find it odd that this is posted on diamond centric where fans from other teams cannot read the entire article, unless it is to familiarize them with a caretaker format and that it may be an opportunity for them and their teams. Hope you are successful, and best of luck!βšΎοΈβšΎοΈπŸŸοΈβ­οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
  13. Would you guys quit downloading other podcasts into my feed please? Thank you
  14. Finally, an additive move! Michael Kopech. …… He's been oft-injured and rarely good,πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
  15. Of course scapegoating is nothing new. Remember in 2022 when they blamed all the injuries on Michael Salazar? Fired him, after throwing him under the bus, hired Podesta(sp?). Had a good year with many accolades for him, then the next year lots of injuries yet again. But, by then, 2024, we were moving up the food chain sacking those at fault!!:)
  16. I make an off hand comment about TD needing to update its photos. Am advised that if TD did so it would be wrong. And now all of a sudden TD is publishing photos of Tom. Thank you for your delayed acquiescence to my request. Much appreciated!
  17. Looks like you have another photo to use. It is from the Twins Daily X account. Certainly Elon is not allowing you to use illegal photos. Put it in rotation and let’s get it done!!!!
  18. So this is a licensed picture? Looks like somebody just cropped his face onto a different body. At least we have a new photo for articles!!πŸ˜‰
  19. After reading the article and the comments I got to wondering: would there be some kind of competitive advantage for the big revenue teams to allow/encourage higher arbitration salaries? They could easily absorb these increases while putting pressure on the teams in the lower third of the pay scale. Like I said, I am just wondering and would like to hear any other opinions.
  20. So are you saying there are some photos out there? Or do you want to say there are none to your liking? I see photos on Sports Illustrated, and the Star Tribune has also used photos. I know you are not happy about having to educate an idiot from South Dakota; just do not understand why others have updated, but TD has not??
