  1. According to gameday, they had 32 lob and gave up 4 unearned runs. Didnt get beat but beat themselves. Every yr every team has games like this but it's so frustrating when it happens, especially against one of the worst teams in the league
  2. I would want Holland. Or that Andrew Miller guy IF the Twins think they could unlock something with him
  3. I have been looking for this thread every day! So glad we have it.
  4. Smeltzer will make his start tonight. I hope he does well and enjoys/learns from it and we see him later. Tonight he gets sent down. Cruz gets activated. This wknd Garver gets activated and Arrez gets sent down. When Pinada (sp) comes off the IL Austidillo gets sent down
  5. Against Seattle, Anaheim, and Chicago the Twins outscored their opponents 93-34 over 10 games winning 9 of them. Thats some pretty serious offense even tho its not against the best teams. Maybe we should hang HR signs instead of K if this continues
  6. This week will be a good litmus test. They will be playing better teams in Mil and TPA than they have faced in awhile.
  7. I would rather have Kimbrel. I think he helps this team more and has less downside.
  8. How short of a leash does Addison Reed have?
  9. First of all Glen Perkins says hi. Second the Twins have options when it comes to pay. They can pay him over the league minimum to offset not calling him up if they want to. They really don't have to negotiate wages with him for what, 4 yrs? Time heals a lot of things. This seems like a lot of hand wringing and angst about nothing. Does it suck currently for Buxton? Yeah maybe but I would prefer him, as a fan, that he get recharged and reset and start fresh next year. I understand he could get hurt anytime, but I don't see what the point would be to call him up in a lost season when he may not be 100 percent and run the risk of a more serious injury. As a selfish fan, I'm not unhappy about the xtra yr of control. My guess, the xtra yr of control is eventual used as leverage in a contractual negotiation and everybody walks away happy.
  10. The Twins are a big loser in this missed opportunity to sign Darvish. With 3 teams rebuilding next year Darvish would have given the Twins the opportunity to go deep into the playoffs. The Twins could have taken a huge step to control their own destiny, instead they decided to lay up and hope for the best. Lynn, Cobb and especially Arrieta are not going to be worth anywhere near what they will get. The Twins only chance is to now trade for Archer and the only way to do that will decimate the farm system. Words can not describe the disappoint that the Twins front office has decided to let this opportunity pass them by.
  11. No Randy Bush? Pry the best PH/utility man the Twins had.
  12. If Darvish won't sign w the Twins I wouldn't want any starting pitcher. Would rather roll w Gonslaves or Romero or Pinada at mid season and hope the bullpen can carry the 1st part of the season
  13. I don't think that us signing Reed doesn't mean we can't sign Dervish. We could back load or mid load the contract for instance
  14. The 2006 home run in game 2 of the playoffs....I was there. Will never forget it. How the crowd energy could be felt..and the HR off of Zuyma. I seem to recall that Hunter and Cuddyer struck out b4 Morneau hit.
  15. I think if the Twins want to go deeper in the playoffs they will need to do better then Tillman as a starting pitcher. I like Chatswood or Lynn. Pipe dream would be Yu Dervish but I don't see that happening.
  16. Sorry, if the Yankees sweep the Blue Jays and Houston sweeps Boston. It's should not be a forgone conclusion that the Twins one game playoff will be in the Bronx.
  17. If the Yankees sweep the Bosox this wknd the Yankees and Bosox would then have the same record and would need a one game playoff. The twins would play the loser. Not likely to happen but it would be best case scenario for the Twins and is fun to think about.
