  1. Why wasn't Escobar playing 3B in the 9th inning? The defensive substitutions are a head-scratcher to me.
  2. Gleeman tweeted the '02 - present record yesterday. It's very very bad: "Since the beginning of the 2002 season, when Ron Gardenhire replaced Tom Kelly as manager, the Twins are 33-92 against the Yankees including the playoffs. That's the equivalent of a 42-120 record in a 162-game season." OTOH we'll always have that one Jason Kubel grand slam:
  3. Did someone say RBIs? Please don't.
  4. He should bunt a few times when they give him half the field...
  5. That lineup looks mighty good against a right-handed pitcher. The only ®s we have are Buxton, Dozier, and Sano.
  6. Hildenberger was our best pitcher for a half season.
  7. Twins have way better uses for their money than giving it to Dozier. Like pitching, for instance...
  8. Exactly. If he has a good year, the Twins give him a QO and most likely he gets kinda screwed: either he takes it (and he probably won't) or he sits around forever waiting for a multi-year deal for a 2B from someone, which will come in low. If he does take it, fine enough. That's a lot of money but it's only a one-year commitment.
  9. He can be our '16 Berrios candidate, though hopefully with better results.
  10. Nobody should ever mention Greg Maddux as a comp for anyone.
  11. Bautista in a Twins uniform would be so against the team's historical narrative that I'm kinda in favor of it.
  12. I can't believe I'm typing this, but I'm kinda psyched to see the Twins bullpen!
  13. Sign a good reliever and tell their agent they will get to close games for the Twins. That would be enticing for someone on the market.
  14. Thing is that $14M is not that bad for a decent FA starter. Shop him, sure and if you get a great offer, take it. But anyone they sign would be more expensive. The original Santana deal was a good one for the Twins!
  15. If they were going to extend him, they would have done it when they signed the contract two years ago?
  16. Sam Deduno! O my. I had not thought of him in .......... a very long time. Thanks for that.
  17. I'm looking forward to seeing Sano's Kirk Gibson impression.
  18. The only way to get playoff experience is to play in the playoffs. I hope we go to Yankee stadium and win a nailbiter.
