    Sanchez has been much better than advertised behind the plate so far.
  2. tarheeltwinsfan
    DEEEEE - FENSE.

    Hooray for Ricky, the screaming rally goat. None of this would have happened without him. Thanks for the great summary of a great week in Twinsville.
  4. tarheeltwinsfan
    Woods Richardson is pitching amazingly. .
  5. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good article. Thanks. Plus Chris has Ricky, the Screaming Rally Goat. I ordered my Wednesday. It is scheduled to arrive today. Baaa !
  6. tarheeltwinsfan
    What 3 items? Bat and door and...?
  7. tarheeltwinsfan
    My suggestion is to eliminate the last two words in the title of your article.
  8. tarheeltwinsfan
    How would you rate Simmons effect on the team vs. Correa's effect on the team?
  9. tarheeltwinsfan
    Really great statement. "When was the last time we could say that?" Wow the starters are doing outstanding jobs. I just ordered a screaming goat from Amazon. The theory is that screaming goats bring good luck. Keep screaming Ricky.

    It is not Boras' decision to make. Boras is an advisor, not Correa's guardian.

    The "high exit velo" advanced metrics do not take into consideration slow running. Nor failure to hustle. Nor poor base running decisions. If a player runs slowly, he will make an out more often than a speedy runner, even if they have the same exit velo. 1) slow running, or 2) swinging and missing the baseball or 3) taking strikes, or 4) continuously hitting the balls where the majority of the defenders are standing...these 4 examples have nothing to do with "luck". I'm not saying Mr. Sano does all or any of these examples. Just saying.

    No way I'm slapping a man that size upside the head.

    With Buck and Carlos, staying, I might even move from North Carolina to Minneapolis for mid-April through mid-October and Ft. Myers the rest of the time. I need a downtown Minneapolis condo near the ball park with indoor parking, and a Sanibel waterfront home in Florida. Oh yeah... plus I need 4-5 million bucks.

    Buck's quote after Saturday's game , in response to Dick Bremer telling Buck to "Go out tomorrow and do it again" , was a grin from Buck and a positive statement: "We will." How prophetic.
  15. tarheeltwinsfan
    Agreed. Thanks FO.

    Plus it is best to go the other way now, during these cold wet days when the ball won't travel as far anyway and hopefully the opponents will see and stop the exaggerated shifts against him, so that when it is warm, and the baseballs are flying far, Kep can be pulling balls into the RF stands again.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    True, but Buck was the only one playing who hit the ball there.
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    Sano is a leader in pitches seen per plate appearance solely because he swings and misses so many times and takes strikes without swinging so many times. These are not positive things. Yes, Sano can hit a baseball hard, but there are additional necessary criteria to making a competent player. Sano is like a pitcher who can throw a baseball 102 mph, which causes fans to say "Ooooh and ahhh" ...but can't get the ball over the plate. The Twins have better players who should be playing instead of Sano.

    Steve, I'm glad you mentioned that walk. Godoy was not supposed to be on the Twins. He was not supposed to play tonight. Although he looked over-matched batting, and he messed up a bunt, he drew 2 critical walks and scored both times. Mainly though, he performed more than adequately behind the plate with pitchers who were virtually strangers, who were pitching to him. I thought, given the circumstances, he was a huge contributor to today's victory.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    If only Hawk could be doing the Sox post-game show.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Buck is playing in unchartered territory. Thanks to you posters for watching the game with me, here in North Carolina. This is almost as good as the Tarheels beating Dook in Coach K;s last home game and then beating Dook again in Coach K's last game ever. Almost.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    All in all, I feel pretty fulfilled, Nick. The starters have been outstanding. Rocco is learning which relievers he can use where. The hitters will start hitting better as the weather warms up. The defense has been more than adequate, with Gordon and Jeffers providing recent outstanding defensive play.. Correa's defense has been as advertised and Sanchez has been not near as bad as advertised. I feel we are in for many "fulfilling"" games in the future.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good summary Linus.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Tonight would be a fun night to troll the White Sox fan sites.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    Yeah, but he was traded to the Yankees.
