  1. Another huge run Cmon boys bring this home!
  2. True, I will butt out, since I don’t know exactly who you are disputing. If there are folks claiming Bonds Aaron Maris or whoever are not legitimate or not as accomplished, and I’m sure there probably are.
  3. Greatest home run hitter of all time? Why not?
  4. I actually don’t see this as a tiny issue. I also don’t see most of his policies as radical. But as a threat to the status quo in Washington, oh yes I think he is radical. If that’s what you meant.
  5. Agree. I’m not sure if he’s campaigning on this, or not, or if the media is blowing it up into something it isn’t. I don’t remember him saying anything in the Fox town hall about it. But this issue will kill his campaign. If he wants to be president he’s better off dropping the issue altogether than trying to make the distinction between unfair policing, violent or non-violent, etc.
  6. oh, they went south, all right... (Too much?)
  7. Your moment of refreshing positivity: Mike Morin
  8. Good lord, Gibson, compose yourself.
  9. I’m gonna take the negative, unscientific side in this debate. Seems definitely like a culture issue for them playing here. Don’t know how else to explain it at this point. It’s one game, sure, but one game after another, no? Keep in mind the earlier posts pointing out how bad this Yankee team is. In fact, lots of Yankee teams have been less than stellar over this period. But. Hopefully this is the new improved Baldelli Twins and they prove us wrong tomorrow.
  10. This crap might be tolerated if it was against any other team.
  11. I’m waiting for the league to figure this out about our approach and game plan against it. Hopefully not this weekend yet.
  12. That’s the ketchup lady he married, right?
  13. and almost ran in 2020!!!
  14. Following on the above poster’s link: ”In addition to Kepler’s maturation as a hitter and big leaguer, Falvey credits new Twins manager Rocco Baldelli for the outfielder’s comfort level atop the order. Baldelli is one of several MLB managers who sets lineups for an entire series ahead of time, helping the process along by giving chatting with starters about upcoming days off, and with backups about the opportunities that will soon come their way. Soon after taking the Twins’ skipper job, Baldelli took that look-ahead approach to extreme levels with Kepler, alerting him months ahead of time that he hoped to make him the team’s leadoff hitter, then riding him in that spot throughout spring training. .... “There’s a lot of transparency in the clubhouse, to where he’s found a way to be over-communicative. That, and the way he leans on his coaching staff. With Rocco, it’s never about him. He arrives at the best possible conclusions for our team by talking to the pitching coach, the hitting coach, the strength and conditioning coach, the trainers, everyone. It creates a psychologically safe environment in which to share ideas.” “The combination of up-and-comers in their 20s, big-hitting veteran imports and managerial guidance has borne fruit ...” https://theathletic.com/957782/2019/05/02/keri-the-twins-are-for-real-how-are-they-doing-this/ Can’t argue with it. Also some nice stuff about Rosario in there, things coming to fruition with him that the minor league writers tipped us off to, as did the late poster Madre Dos, who hosted these guys in the minors.
  15. Damn — would have been a nice feather to shut out Houston twice in three nights.
  16. If you are arguing this is a spot for Vasquez or De Jong...
  17. The Kids Today aren’t as fun as they were in the 70s...
  18. One game. He’s not too bad. If stretched out he can start in a pinch.
