    Really witty and informative article. Thanks Nick.

    I was just going to mention the pitching match-ups coming up this week. I'm glad Monday is an off day so I can rest up for the excitement which starts Tuesday.

    That's OK. Not everyone is meant to appreciate the nuances of baseball. I went to a fight one night and a hockey game broke out. Go Canes.
  4. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good summary of my favorite moments too. This has been such a fun season. Filled with good solid baseball, positive comments from the players and staff, and hope for the future.

    Sherry does have a nice writing style, but the credit for the "tight rope over a volcano" goes to Monticore in his/her post.
  6. tarheeltwinsfan
    I am sorry you feel this way. There is a lot to appreciate and enjoy about the game of baseball being played with good pitching and good defense and hitting to the opposite field. The proof is in the pudding and 16 -11 is the "proof". The "pudding" is good defense, good pitching and hitting the ball to the opposite field, if that is what the opposing team's defense and pitchers are giving you. Winning this way is fascinating to watch.

    After watching Royce Lewis' interviews with MLB and with Dick and Justin, I would not trade Royce Lewis for any player in baseball. What an incredible young man.

    A shout out to Sanchez also for blocking three low pitches by Pagan in the ninth. Nice job Gary. Winder also gave him praise in Winder's post-game interview. I'm glad we got Gary Sanchez to be a Twin.

    "Tightrope over the volcano". Great writing. Thanks. It perfectly described the top of the ninth inning in last night's game.

    re-signing. (Sorry, it is a pet peeve of mine.)
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    I respectfully disagree. Correa is a leader and a winner and just what the Twins need to win it all...(well plus a little more pitching, and for Buck to stay healthy)
  12. tarheeltwinsfan
    I would love for Correa to stay. I suggest FO find out if he intends to stay and if they can work out a deal for him to stay before the trade deadline, so they will know whether to trade him or not. They are professionals and they know this I am sure. We shall see what happens. But I hope he stays.
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    I sure would go if I lived in Minnesota. I'll be watching on mlb.com

    If Taylor has a good year, and I hope he will, we can look toward offering him a contract, after the Twins win the World Series in October. He may be so expensive that signing him will not be a good investment, or maybe it will be. I'm happy for him. He is a good guy. But the Twins stood a chance of losing him at the trading deadline if the Twinkies were tanking or losing him to Free Agency at the end of the year and getting a draft pick. Instead the Twins received a useful starter with upside plus a useful reliever and the SP has several years on his contract. It was a good trade in my book.
  15. tarheeltwinsfan
    You are so correct. I agree 100%
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    Royce plays 3B and learns from Correa, who plays SS. Correa is the master at SS.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    There is something unjust about Correa getting injured twice. I only played high school baseball, but if my team-mate was hit, as the next batter after a home run, with one of the few fastballs thrown by a junk ball pitcher, and that same team-mate was hit again in his next at bat, and it was a team-mate who had been loudly booed by opposing teams' fans in every away game so far this year, my team-mates and I would want to retaliate against the Orioles in some way. Correa getting injured in this manner is almost like some sort of Greek trajedy ...I call what happened to Correa, "Buxtonesque".
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    It must be rare because Dan Gladden and Thad Levine both said solo HR's don't beat you, after one of the Orioles 5 solo HR's.

    Thanks to the owners and moderators and contributors and posters, this is a great website.

    Wouldn't it be great if we all showed up for the World Series in Minneapolis with our rally goats. My rally goat had hair that was a little too long, so I took him to a Baa baa shop for a trim.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    I received my rally goat from Amazon yesterday. So far, it's working to perfection. Baaa.

    I received my screaming rally goat yesterday. It is awesome.

      Screaming rally goat? I mean, I know the screaming rally goat exists, not sure how I'm involved in this. Not being snarky, legit confused.

      My bad. I was excited to receive the goat and my wife was not impressed, so I felt I would tell all of TD that I got the goat. Instead, I posted in the wrong place. I meant to post it where everyone on TD could read it. Sorry.

      @tarheeltwinsfan I understand. You temporarily lost your mind over a screaming goat. It happens to the best of us.

    I would like Duran to become a starter next year. Foe 2022, leave him where his is as a primary reliever.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Is Baily Ober a "rookie" for purposes of this vote? He deserves his name to be in the poll, and not just included as "someone else". He has "impressed" me more than Winder. Ober has been a joy to watch pitch. However, I rank them as 1) Ryan, 2) Duran, 3) Ober and 4) Winder. I sincerely hope Duran becomes a starter next year.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    I had suggested this in a post a week or so ago, before Sano got "Hurt".
