  1. Wait, wait...the Yankees may do something arrogant ? No way ? Not the New York Bronx Bombers ? Not The BIG APPLE residents ! Not the team which has hit 306 home runs in a single season ? Pin Stripes ? The House that Ruth Built ? The team of "A-Rod", "Mr. October", "Gardy" and "Mr. Self Confidence" (whose initials are D.J). "Start spreading the news": "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere" . Brock, I can't believe you questioned whether the Yankees would do something arrogant.
  2. A big thank you to the Twins organization from top to bottom. And thank you TD owners, writers, and contributors. This is fun.Sincerely, A loyal Twins fan since they were the old Washington Senators (1954...that is 65 years my fellow Twins fans).
  3. It is so nice not to be discussing who the Twins will take with the 3rd overall pick in next June's draft.
  4. These next two series are really important series. Injuries need to heal, some formerly injured players need to get some at bats against some live AAA pitching (sorry Detroit and KC, I couldn't resist), Bombas need to be hit (I really want the Twins to take that all-time MLB HR record from the Bronx Bombers...oh the irony), rotation decisions need to be made and set, and at least 4 of 6 games need to be won for a 100 victory season.
  5. Buxton has more potential in the short run (get it, "short run") but Sano has more potential until age 40, if he follow's Cruz's training and lifestyle examples and if the DH remains in the AL. So since the question is one of "long-term" value "potential", I'd vote for Sano.
  6. Mike, I agree with what you said. You were the first to mention Cruz as a positive influence on Sano. Exercise the option on Cruz, and the Twins get a better Sano.
  7. What are the rules about selecting 25 players for the playoffs? Must the same 25 also be on the World Series roster? Also, what allows a team to drop one player and add another? Who determines whether a player is truly injured, so as to be substituted for?
  8. Jake Reed is a Major League All Star in the game of life.
  9. Oh now I understand why he was jogging to 1B instead of running fast, because he was "judging the location of the ball" as he jogged to 1B.
  10. I'm sorry but I don't understand how that is different. Please explain. Thanks.
  11. I agree. However where we disagree is that when your team is losing 2-1 and you are in a pennant race and Cleveland is only 4 games back...this is not the time "to conserve energy" by jogging to 1B on a deep fly ball.
  12. I admire Kyle Gibson as a man and as a professional athlete. I wish him nothing but the best, as I'm sure all of us at TD wish for him.
  13. I'm no expert here, but if I were coaching my Little League team again, I would tell my players that once they hit the ball to run as fast as they can around the bases until they see the ball be caught, or they are tagged out or forced out at a base and called out by an ump, or see the ball go over the fence, or go foul, or until their first base coach or their third base coach tells them to stop running. I know many of you posters here at TD know more about baseball than I do...so please tell me where I'm wrong in my advice to my young players who are learning the game. And if I am not wrong in my advice to my young players, then was Eddie Rosario wrong in the way he went from the batter's box to first base on the play in question?
  14. Last night was not Rosario's first time to dog it. I absolutely hate plays where a player is not hustling 100%. I hope the matter has been handled privately, instead of publicly embarrassing the player. I hope Rocco said something to Eddie in private and hopefully Cruz did too.
  15. Congratulations Brian. It is good to be a professional baseball player. It is even better to be a good man.
  16. Spahn and Sain and pray for rain. Perez, May, Duffy, Rogers, Littel, Romo, Harper and pray for A WIN !.
