  1. Bizarre, that they don’t have a field that drains, or full grounds crew on the payroll.
  2. How to describe the Twins lead in the standings: This? Or, this?
  3. No one needs to eat crow on this one. It’s natural to be suspicious that a team like the Rays would DFA a perfectly good first baseman like Cron still in his prime years, but apparently they did.
  4. I’m old school and don’t believe in checking the standings before Memorial Day. However, Twins will still be in first place after Memorial Day, so never mind
  5. In lieu of a monster rally, here, have this monster truck rally
  6. Or apparently the song, “God wanted the Mariners to win today, not the Twins”
  7. So do I? Fun to watch. I said I thought the hitting would come back to earth, and that I wouldn’t be surprised if Cleveland out-hit the Twins from June onwards. (Which is much different from saying I guarantee Cleveland would out-hit the Twins.) Another poster challenged me on that pretty mild statement... anyway, since this is not the thread for wait-and-see , I will show myself out.
  8. As I type this, a majority of the roster is OPS-ing over .800, which is well above the league average of about .750.
  9. Trivia: If Schoop hits a home run before Sano rounds the bases on his home run from the previous inning, do the runs count?
  10. as if people should walk around all day knowing that Cron is sitting on 99
  11. I would say “diluted, impure genius” but to each our own
  12. This is not the thread for reality checks, I guess.
  13. Think of how good this team would be if Rocco’s horrible lineups were not holding back the offense.
  14. Well the thing is, I’m old school. And the old school baseball saying keeps ringing in my mind: “only speed doesn’t slump.” Meaning... hitters slump. Pitchers slump. Maybe even fielding. Who knows. We’ll see. I am enjoying the ride, for sure! Also, I am not sleeping on Cleveland. Huge blow to lose Kluber, but they still have a formidable lineup. I wouldn’t be surprised from June to October they outhit the Twins. So I’m not “believing” yet, but I do believe the Twins have put themselves in a pretty strong position.
  15. I’m sorta coming around (but still lukewarm) on impeachment. I mean, so many Dems voted and campaigned — and will campaign, depending on the eventual nominee— on Trump being the gravest threat to Democracy in our lifetimes. And according to the two different sets of rules the two parties play by, it seems a little “off” (for lack of a better word) that Dems would win the house in 2018 and then respond to calls for impeachment with shoulder shrug emoticon guy.
  16. It’s ok about the absolutely terrible column this week, Randball’s Stu. By the way, somewhere on my computer there is a half-finished story about Jake Goodorizzi you can have, if you are ever in a pinch again.
  17. Wouldn’t it be funny if, turns out, all these home runs mattered tonight, like yesterday? Well, maybe “funny” is not the word...
  18. I’m wondering if this isn’t too much of a good thing, watching the Twins this year is like starting on that third piece of pumpkin pie, after two helpings of the big Thanksgiving dinner.
