    He should! Good luck to him.
  2. mikelink45
    Hard for me to choose - I still think Ryan from opening day to the most dependable starter all year would get my vote, but I love Duran.
  3. mikelink45
    Pitching is key - if we believe in Lewis then it is not worth spending big on SS. Congratulations to Palacios - he might make an impact with Detroit.
  4. mikelink45
    I am delighted with Gordon and the joy he adds to a team that too often seems to lack fire. I might add Ryan to this list as well.
  5. mikelink45
    Well they are retaining all their coaches in all their positions - so much for progress. That was a buzzkill announcement.
  6. mikelink45
    I agree, but I hope Alcala comes back strong and Moran develops to a solid reliever. Then there are the relievers in Fall League that I know nothing about.
  7. mikelink45
    Could Martin the fill in for Lewis in the beginning of the season? Isola not catching and not hitting is too bad for a team that needs a second C. Other than Lewis and Julien this AFL group does not seem as good as some of the past selections.
  8. mikelink45
    Tough choice (which is nice) because Miranda really did hold the lineup together and at times Ryan was the SP rotation all by himself. Add three rookies this good next year and we can stop worrying about FA signings.
  9. mikelink45
    Right now the future does not look that promising, The idea that this FO can make the right decisions is not that apparent. Can we just follow the playoffs as long as the Guardians last and put off the anguish until later?
  10. mikelink45
    We have gone from replacing Kyle Garlick to signing Aaron Judge - is this Garlick's replacement? If so I hope he can hold up his end of the bargain. When a team blows up like ours, when the season careens to a crashlanding I guess these are the things we have to dream about - it will be a long winter.
  11. mikelink45
    The Guardians just won their series - can we send a video to the Twins - this is how you do it
  12. mikelink45
    Those pitchers are complete unknowns for me. I will be interested in the notes that TD provides.
  13. mikelink45
    He pitched low impact innings and often gave up at least a walk and a hit. No he is not to be trusted and if we lose another season with him it is on the FO. Cut bait, move on, let someone else unleash the mighty Pagan.
  14. mikelink45
    Good humor - I will take the Cardinals because I have always liked them and there is something about Pujols on a championship team that feels right. I like the Mariners, but my heart is with the Blue Jays. I like having two birds at the top of the season.
  15. mikelink45
    Miranda - yes, Wallner DH only, Lewis and Buxton have so much potential and so many injuries! Who is next - Contreras played himself off the 40 man. Palacios is a backup defensive specialist if we need it. Hamilton should be gone. It felt like there should be more on the list. Still wish we had Steer.
  16. mikelink45
    There is a sense of arrogance that does not play well in Minnesota. Communicate and do so in a fan friendly and honest way. Don't tell us about Pagan's great pitches when he can't command them or close a game. Drop the duds - remember Colome? We have twice gotten a closer that took us down for the first half of the season. Fundamentals not analytics. I don't mind information, but keep it simple. From manager to FO we get this white wash when things go bad and that is not how we function. Step up and take the blame, step up and hold players accountable. We do not need a Billy Martin again, but we need some of his fire. Somehow this group of management experts just feels like they are too complacent - they might not be, but they need to show us. Take us along as the Team grows, don't hide when Lopez comes in and turns back to a pumpkin.
  17. mikelink45
    Good for Luis - even though I wanted Judge to get the triple, I am delighted that my favorite Twin succeeded. Thanks for batting practice Chicago. I know this is a downer question, but how could we fall to 14 games behind in the Central when we were near first a short time ago? Glad for Varland - does he start for us next year?
  18. mikelink45
    Berrios showed us that you can't judge a rookie by his first season. So the answer to the question is I have no idea who's going to do it. But I hope somebody steps forward. Ober surprise me and I'm willing to be surprised by another two or three pitchers.
  19. mikelink45
    The Sox will finish 500 - the Twins... The only thing I was interested in was Winder. Sorry he had a bad game. I thought, going in to the season that he would pass Ober, which certainly isn't true.
  20. mikelink45
    Talk to Tom Kelly about fundamentals. Talk to Molitor about running. Talk to Gardy about fan relations. Stop telling us the team really did well, despite losing - we all have eyes. Stop sticking with RP when they prove they are not good - Colombe, Pagan, Lopez...Start sticking with SP when they are going well. If the give up a hit in their last inning it does not mean they are done.
  21. mikelink45
    Ober is a reminder of why we do not want more dumpster diving SP. We have enough young arms, and an almost full rotation of veterans with IL returnees. The only pitcher we should consider is that elusive number 1.
  22. mikelink45
    I have no idea - who do we trade? Most trades have many many for one that reduces the 40 man. I do not see Hamilton, Leon, Sanchez coming back and wish that Pagan and Lopez weren't. But my faith in the FO decisions leaves me questioning which decisions will be made because they love the strong arm - Pagan, Lopez, Megill - which do nothing for me if they do not know how to pitch. All of us see Sano and Correa gone, and most want Bundy and Archer gone if we can bring in better (me included).
  23. mikelink45
    I just do not have any enthusiasm for the end! My only useless complaint is that you Woods-Richardson had his act together as he proceeded and one more inning was due him after his 5th.
  24. mikelink45
    I just watched May pitch to Rosario who flew out to Escobar who has two hits! Nice.
  25. mikelink45
    I would choose Escobar. He may not be a glove whiz, but he is the most dependable of all those listed.
