    It's official. Four games into the season brings the first "cut bait with Sano" post (unless I missed an earlier one)
  2. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    The pitching has been pretty good with the obvious exception of the "Duffey the closer" experience. Of course, we haven't seen Bundy and Archer yet (I am skeptical - please prove me wrong). I really think that when this team hits, they win.

    I'm guessing we see winder tomorrow
  4. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    That was my point. Perhaps not well-stated.

    Twins need more than 5 starting pitchers. Look at the garbage arms they ran out there last year because nobody else could take the mound. Now, with the recent signings and the young talent coming up, the Twins have plenty of depth. Maeda comes back next year, too.

    I'm "over" on all but Sanchez's homers. I think Kiriloff plays a lot of first base and Sano is the DH for a bunch of games. I am an unabashed homer, though, so...

    Openers and Bullpen games, friends. I hate it, but get used to it. We are going to see a bunch of them

    You can never have too much good pitching. Not sure this qualifies as such.

    Saw Hosken hit a 3-run homer in the 9th inning against the Brewers' Jim Slaton in 1981 at the Met. Slaton took a no-hitter into the ninth inning. Twins still lost 5-3 with Rollie Fingers closing it out.

    Great article! You need pitching depth. Sam Malone is retired and in a TV series instead of a movie. However, I think Dave Spiwak is available as a waiver claim.
  11. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    I never thought of that, Sconnie.

    AAA depth. Guys on the 40 man roster can't play minor league ball during lockout
  13. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    That was just terrific. Thank so much for the outstanding look back!

    My favorite Jaime Garcia may be just now when I found out that he is working with a Christian organization to provide safe water to developing countries.
  15. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    That was awesome! "I'm out."
  16. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    You ranked Buddy Ebson way too low
  17. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    I agree. It's pretty obvious that they're going to role with the young guys in the rotation and probably also the bullpen. I'm not saying that's what they should do; I'm saying that's what they're going to do.

    I have met Tony a number of times over the years. He is always such a great guy to talk to. A few years ago my daughter met in concessions line at Target Field. She told him he was her dad's favorite player. He immediately had his picture taken with her to send to me. I am super happy that he was elected to the Hall of Fame
  19. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    Imagine if he could stay on the field for 4 or 5 of those seasons!
  20. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    First box checked. Proceed.
  21. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    I think where the bullpen is concerned, the Twins need a lot of guys with options left. This is especially true if their rotation is going to include young pitchers with innings limitations or scrap-heap guys who won't go deep into games. The bullpen will be forced to eat a lot of innings. The Twins will need a lot of bullpen guys on the shuttle back and forth from St. Paul.

    2011. "The Summer of the Rene's". God-awful baseball.
  23. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    If they wanted to hit him, they should have sent Tortuga back out there the next day. How about a 43 mph lob to ribs?
  24. Twins_Fan_For_Life
    Unlucky? Yes. Playing extremely poorly? Yes. A ridiculous amount of injuries to key players? Yes. That's a bad combination. Offense? Bad. Pitching? Bad. Defense? Bad. AND at the worst possible time....the last innings of close games. Aside from all that, I think the season has gone quite well.

    With Buxton out - you know what that means. Large doses of Jake Cave!
