  1. I didn't intend to set off on another Ryan tangent and not once ever have I called him stupid. If there was a deeper point I was trying to make, it was that the Twins front office seems just as desperate for something good to happen as Twins fans are. Thus both are citing small sample sizes with regard to Arcia and Grossman.
  2. Disagree. Antony said multiple teams contacted him about Arcia. (I think the word he used was "folks" so interpret that how you may.) We have no way of knowing if a team like Detroit offered a halfway decent minor leaguer for Arcia only to have the Twins give away Arcia to someone else simply to keep Arcia out of the division. A scenario like that doesn't seem like a stretch at all.
  3. We can overreact to what Arcia has done in three games with the Rays, but after Robbie Grossman's first three games with the Twins, Terry Ryan said something to the effect of "we have been rewarded by him. These are the types of moves I need to be doing."
  4. The game Mauer was catching and lunged to tag out Gardner trying to sneak home with the winning run in the 9th on an infield hit. Still gives me chills!
  5. I never doubted Perkins somehow knew he wasn't 100%, but the timing of his injury announcements always seemed to coincide with blown saves. But god, to read about the extent of the injury, and that it took a third opinion for someone to finally believe him. Sorry, Glen. Get well and it would be nice to see you on the mound again someday. http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-glen-perkins-more-extensive-labrum-surgery-than-expected/
  6. But a third pitch can be something you throw just a few times a game, and maybe not even for a strike every time, and maybe the Twins are overemphasizing it's importance? - which is not to say it's not important. But maybe it doesn't need to be "perfected"
  7. yeah but how was the rest of the at bat before the homer?
  8. Most grand slams hit by a single batter in a single inning: 2, Fernando Tatis, St Louis Cardinals, 3rd inning, April 23, 1999 Most grand slams surrendered by a single pitcher in a single inning: 2, Chan Ho Park, Los Angeles Dodgers, 3rd inning, April 23, 1999 These records may be tied, but will never be broken I am not a big Ripken fan but that one should stand for all time. All those longetivity records will be hard to reach. From your list probably the season RBI record has the best chance of falling.
  9. From paradise to exile, no doubt.
  10. why is it very telling? What was Tampa Bay's waiver priority. Pretty low but I'm not sure exactly where. I would think if any team had more than a passing interest in Arcia they would just wait to claim him, if available. I also think you give the Twins too much credit for receiving fair value back in the trades they do make. (or have made since Ryan returned)
  11. I was thinking Jorge Polanco, though I'm not sure anyone else has ever heard of him.
  12. So I was, and still am, an Eduardo Escobar fan, but I'm ready to start the era of.. the.. If only we had an MLB-ready middle infielder somewhere in the high minors.
  13. Welp, the Twins go for the moral victory sweep tomorrow!!
  14. Well, it's tied 1-1 going into the 8th, so today is your lucky day!
  15. I know, the schedule makers never do the Twins any favors, right?
  16. Some days you have to have four at bats before you get comfortable in there
  17. The magic 100 pitch mark forces Molitor to make a pitching change. I would have left Santana in.
  18. Battle of the bullpens today? (Logs off TD, dials Las Vegas bookie)
  19. I especially love the San Diego Padres color scheme around the border
  20. Probably not a good idea for St Peter to schedule a Robbie Grossman day at Target Field next year for any month other than April.
  21. When is the Park t shirt promotion at Target Field, and can we move it up ASAP
