  1. Maybe Margot could pinch hit in the late innings. And Gallo can bring the post-game wine.
  2. 1) Let the starters pitch more pitches per game. Shelton is doing that. 2) Find pitchers with funky or unusual pitches, who will never, ever walk the first batter in an inning and make them relievers. Control is key. 3) Get really good fielding shortstops, 3rd basemen, 2nd basemen, first basemen and fast outfielders (all of which will help he pitchers) and play them regularly at their best positions. Foot speed is essential. 4) Get smart catchers who study the opposition's players and who understand the game and can encourage the team's pitchers. Catchers with rifle arms are essential. 5) Draft more tall flame throwing pitchers. And finally, if "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas.
  3. Finally a wonderful ending to this awful game. John Klein and his smile during his debut, was worth all the prior pain of this game. Good luck young man
  4. It would be tough to be an announcer like Justin and Corey today. They can't just look away like I can.
  5. 8 runs in the 8th inning. This is what I am used too from this team. I'm going for a walk.
  6. 3 of the 4 top Twins hitters play in the outfield. 3 of the four "wave of high-end talent, pushing up from the minors", play outfield. Only 3 outfielders can play at a time. There is no one, I repeat, no one, to take Jeffers place when he is traded or signs elsewhere, as a free agent. Two other outfielders, Wallner and Outman, are destined to be moved somewhere away from Target Field soon. Lewis is a fading mystery, Keaschall is a weak fielder at 2B and suffering the dreaded sophomore slump at the plate. Lee is holding down SS for Culpepper, and eventually Houston. (who is hitting over .300 and will win a gold glove in the minors this year). Meanwhile I hear the Four Tops singing "The Same Old Song", for our first basemen: Gallo, Santana, France, Clemons and Bell. Hmmm. As Newman would say: "You present quite the conundrum." But then I remember.....This is the life I have chosen. This is why I have been a Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins fan for over 70 years. "Hello, my name is David. I am a Minnesota Twins fan."
  7. Are you saying you would want Margot or Gallo on this years Twins' team?
  8. Why are the Toronto Blue Jays breaking so many bats this season?
