  1. We need to move away from him. Twins must get younger by taking advice from Leo DiCaprio. Never date a girl older than 25 years old. I am envisioning fellow Twins fans nodding in agreement like bobbleheads on a gravel road.
  2. Twins Nation has been very very patient waiting for Erod to mature & figure things out. He is wanted & needed. A lot of questions will be answered when Buxton goes on the IL & who replaces him. We want him to succeed.
  3. Faster breaking news. Better coverage of the minor leagues. Pros & Cons of being a small market team. Could high A Cedar Rapids move to Fargo, ND?
  4. Even with a loss to a very bad team he makes watching the game enjoyable. He has the look of a #1 pitcher. He could be our next Cy Young winner.
  5. This is the result of trading a disgruntle Relief pitcher for a young controllable big arm starting pitcher. Make that trade every day. Every start we have a chance to watch baseball history. Rojas is on the same path. Who did we miss out on this year's trade deadline?
  6. At times the front office puts out stories to keep the fans happy, engaged, hopeful & excited. We need to get younger, healthier not older with their better days behind them with only stories of the good old days. "Past performance does not guarantee future results" EF Hutton
  7. Time for Erod & Keaschall to take over CF for the rest of the season developing the younger players & position changes.
  8. Breaking News: Twins are dedicating tonight's game in honor of the late great Dolly Parton.
  9. We need to get more high end arms. Getting it thru trades. Lets make this off season the winter of trades. A team can not get better by having the same players. Remember all our best pitchers and prospects have come via trades. Who was the last 1st round pitching pick that has made it to the Twins 26 man roster?
  10. We love Buxton but like any relationship one needs to know when it has run it's course. Is Buxton's value with the Twins or another team. He is not healthy. Before his latest injury he was on pace for 30-35 home runs @ the All Star break. I do not see 30 HRs for the season. One can love the player but fans must love the Twins future success more. It's not personal it's Baseball. Small market fans must choose facts over emotion. All I want for Christmas is a healthy Buxton.
  11. Curious why Houston left the game after his 2nd at bat? Hurt or going to St. Paul?
  12. Buxton is no longer a shiny penny. Erod needs to be here when rosters increase. Erod needs to play smarter not foolish to become injury free.
  13. Buxton getting pinch hit what does that tell us? Time to get rid of unproductive players for youth with potential. Losing with youth feels better than with no futures. Time for a 3 year plan to play in the World Series.
  14. Any updates on Matt Canterino, RHP, Rice University? When he pitched it was lights out! Hoping he starts rehab next season. Little know fact: ex MLB pitcher Tommy John was named after a medical procedure. We need to draft CF, SS & catchers at the higher picks. Develop then trade for pitching. Lower risk for failure. Remember only death & taxes are guaranteed.
  15. What he did his last year @ Oregon state & College World Series I thought he was special. Turns out he's a wet fart who runs like a sloth. Wish him luck in his future career. Another 1st round pick turning Excitement to Frustration & Disappointment.
  16. Would the Twins be better served if they used a rotating DH like they do in the minors? Why over pay for a bat with a small market budget. Why hasn't Wallner been called up? What does he have to work on?
  17. Hoping Rojas arm is fine. If he misses the rest of the season & is healthy for spring training I am OK with that. Let's focus on developing the young guys for the remaining season. One & done in the playoffs is not success.
  18. Leave them where they are through next season. Keaschall will play more CF as Buxton will be on the IL 50% or more next season. Lewis has turned the corner & Matthews is still developing. All 3 look more confident, happy & productive.
  19. He should start every game moving forward @ SS until Houston is ready next year. Then sliding to his natural position 2nd base. They could be our Trammell - Whitaker double play combo.
  20. Royce is very athletic given time he will be one of the better defensive 1st baseman in the league. Since his move to 1st base his hitting has improved as has Keaschall's move to the outfield.
  21. Both needed and great picks. Curious will they stay or move up to A+ this year? Looking forward for their big leaps in development next year. Looking forward to the Twins drafting college arms 1st few picks in a draft. How long has it been since the Twins drafted a 1st round pitcher? Seems like the best Twins pitchers have come via trades.
  22. Wish him luck moving forward as the Twins need to hit on their International prospects as we can not compete with MLB free agents. Curious if the Twins are above or below average on their International signings success rates.
