  1. Thank you for this informative article. It points out a weakness in major league depth.
  2. What about 3B Andrew Bechtold being shifted to catcher? He has good size and a 60 rated arm. However maybe catcher is a position which takes more years to learn than other positions? Can the Twins get a good young catcher by a trade. Does any organization have an excess of young catchers? The Twins are 1 injury away from calling up a minor league catcher. Who would be called up in the event of an injury to Castro or Garver?
  3. Of all Twins' prospects, I feel Rortvelt is in the top 5 who need to progress the quickest and be major league ready the soonest. Who else do the Twinkies have in the minors who can shift positions to become a successful major league catcher?
  4. 22 to 4 so far in 2 games. The Yankees are laughing at us. Coming on the heels of losing 3 to the Rays, including a Carlos Gomez walk-off. I sure hope this is the low point of the season.
  5. Just for argument's sake, will someone please put forth the best argument that can be made for keeping Kinley on the 25 man roster. I tried, but just can't figure this out.
  6. I had hoped I wouldn't say this in 2018...but after Tampa and after last night in NYC... "When is the draft?"
  7. I suppose they could play in London , Kentucky.
  8. Thank you Luke for a great story about a great trip! Father/ son baseball trips are special to me also. Just this week I emailed my son who is now an adult, about a trip we took to Atlanta to see the Braves, only to sit in the rain an hour and a half, eating soggy nachos, only to have the game cancelled. We had to return to North Carolina, driving all the way in the rain. We even had car trouble on the drive down to Georgia. In my email to my son I said: "It was a bad road trip". My son emailed me back and said the following: "And yet all that I remember was getting to go to a major league baseball game with my dad and his friend. Sounds like a pretty good trip to me." That, my TD friends, brought tears to my eyes. I emailed my son back and told him I loved him.
  9. I am proud that the Twins are able to bring awareness to the USA of the needs of our friends and neighbors in Puerto Rico.
  10. Since Sano fancies himself as "quick", maybe he should bunt for singles. Or not...
  11. What is the weather forecast for the game today?
  12. If I were in the major leagues, on tv, being paid millions, or playing in the minors for money, or playing on my high school team, I guarantee I would run out everything. You never know when one will be bobbled. Plus it is a good habit and good exercise. Give me one reason for not running everything out? But then maybe that's just me.
  13. Lookout for these Lookouts. I need to schedule a trip to watch this bunch play ball.
  14. With more hitters emphasizing higher launch angles on their swings, the high fastball becomes a more effective pitch.
  15. Twins must take care of business when playing the Indians. This could be the difference in winning or losing the division.
