  1. No Sano. Buxton 2 for 3 followed by 0 for 4 and 2 more K’s. Will we see either before September?
  2. Romero has thrown 51.1 MLB innings - 1.1 innings over the threshold. So I assume he will not be on prospect lists in 2019, even if he doesn’t throw another MLB inning this year.
  3. I would assume the more mass there is on his body, the harder it is to keep his hands inside.
  4. Kohl Stewart “struck out nine.” That sure is a weird way to misspell “struck out four.”
  5. Regarding limits on innings for Romero later this summer if necessary, a nice little Dodger 2017 DL strategy isn’t a terrible idea. FO: “Hey Fernando, is that a blister I see on your finger?” FR: “No.” FO: “That sure looks sore. Affecting your grip, I suppose, huh?” FR: “No, my grip is fine.” FO: “That’s too bad. But don’t worry. I’m sure it’ll be gone in 10 days. Heal up!”
  6. High temperature tomorrow is forecast to be 22F. No game getting played then. Find a day to bring the Mariners back during the season when it is warm.
  7. Out of curiosity, what would exonerate him?
  8. You’ll note that I put that part in quotes and you can interpret it however you’d like. My experience with casual sports fans are that they very much side with players versus owners. In our state in particular, it strikes me that casual fans believe that someone who has stayed with a team for his whole career and who has been “classy” throughout (I’ll interpret classy for you: hasn’t been in trouble and otherwise appears to be a good citizen) deserves to stay around as long as they can reasonably play, regardless of the compensation they have received previously. Given that casual fans make up a large portion of the money that comes to the organization, I think there is another point than those laid out by the author (who did a very good job laying out his points. I just disagree.). So there. Peace.
  9. This might be one of those cases where not everything is about who will provide the most WAR. If Mauer has a terrible year, then I agree with all of the above. But if he has another good year, that guy is getting a deal with the Twins. He is such a known entity for the casual Minnesota Twins fan, that “treating him poorly” would have huge negative ramifications, I think. He has already stated that he wants to play after this year and can’t see himself playing anywhere else. If he doesn’t tank, he’s back. I think he will see the writing on the wall and take a contract that reflects his current value, but he’s back. No doubt in my mind.
  10. This team should be better than last year in both starting players and depth, and playing in a worse division. Take ‘em one game at a time. What’s the over under on wins?
  11. There will be no guessing when I write in metaphors. You’ll know, because when I do, I’m a volcano, spewing forth my lava down the hillsides of Twins Daily, destroying villages of commenters and moderators. I’m pretty good with similes, too. My dog can’t write to save his life, but he’s big and I literally will listen to the podcast as I pick up his steaming piles of poop. Let me know if you ever need a guest host, Bonnes.
  12. I am now subscribed and will listen as my dog forces me to walk around the neighborhood with him and pick up his poo.
  13. Jim Those was a first ballot Hall of Faser.
  14. Yeah I don’t get this one. I’d rather give Vargas a chance. Maybe that’s stupid and LoMo off the bench is a better bet...but I’d like Kennys to put it together at a fractional price tag.
  15. I’ve always been a big Petit fan. Did we win yet?
  16. Let he who is without fat cast the first Oreo. Just kidding. I’ll take that Oreo if you’re just going to cast it away.
  17. I have enjoyed watching Palacios via stats and minor league write ups, but if it is Odorizzi for Palacios 1-for-1, I think the Twins did well. Well done.
  18. DID DID WE DID WE WIN DID WE WIN YET?!??
  19. This is no problem. It reminds me of the time I had back surgery just before my wife and I were going to go on vacation and I couldn't fly. So she found another guy to go with and they...I mean they would be on the beach...at dinner they'd laugh and...at sunrise they would... HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, THIS SUCKS!
  20. MORE. My pick to click for pitchers in 2018.
  21. Until a couple of weeks ago, I would have said Chris Gimenez.
  22. Palacios. Or any of the shortstops.
