  1. Did the Twins first base coach remind Astudillo that there was one out just before Astudillo was doubled off of first base? Quoting Struther Martin in "Cool Hand Luke" : "What we have here is failure to communicate."
  2. I knew we were in trouble in the bottom of the first inning when Kansas City players showed the Twin players how to move a player, who had hit a lead off double, to third base by hitting the ball on the ground behind the runner on second, thereby advancing the runner to 3rd base and then hitting the ball on the ground to the same location, so the runner on third could score. The Twins had looked pathetic in the top of the 1st inning in failing to advance Mauer from his lead off double. This is elementary baseball 101.
  3. Congratulations to one of my favorite players in the Twins' organization.
  4. Maybe we could sign free agent, Sidd Finch from England.
  5. Williams and Jeffers, two good hitting college catchers. I wish them both well in the future. I wonder how their defensive skills, including arm strength, are?
  6. A strong lower level minor league system may simply indicate that the major league team has consistently been drafting high, due to poor won lost records annually.
  7. I enjoyed reading this article so much that I read it again.
  8. This year the cake of choice seems to be Boston Cream Pie. To paraphrase the Soup Nazi: "No cake for you, Twins' fans".
  9. Last season 3 good fielding outfielders helped our pitchers greatly. The same would be true of 4 good fielding infielders. I think too much emphasis is placed on offensive statistics in these posts because offensive stats are more available and easier to quantify. I would like to see a ranking of the best fielding Twins, major and minor leaguers, according to fielding ability. To heck with these "sluggers" who strike out so much. I'm sick of it.
  10. Congratulations to Harold Mains, President, Mike Mains, GM, Ray Smith, Manager, the E-Twins' coaches, the E- Twins' staff and employees, all the young players, and the grounds crew, headed by Big Dave McQueen. Also congratulations to the town of Elizabethton. I am so happy for all of you.
  11. Odorizzi needs 1) a nutritionist, 2) an exercise coach and 3) a sports psychologist. If he believes he always has trouble after two times through the lineup, then he most certainly will.
  12. Thanks and good luck to Bobby Wilson. I enjoyed his hustle and determination. He was banged up several times and once the heat got to him after a long half inning behind the plate...but he persevered. He is a tough baseball player.
  13. This statement is true...but alas, it was also true the last 6 years. Time will tell.
  14. I have always felt it was not fair to Harmon Killebrew, nor to the Twins' fans, that Harmon did not finish his career as a Twin. I felt that for all the wonderful gifts Harmon gave to the Senators/Twins and the fans, he deserved to end his career as a Twin. I wanted him to be a Twin for life. I didn't want to share him with the Royals. I feel the Twins owed it to him to keep him, even if he only hit .199 with 14 home runs his last year, when he was a Royal. I would hate to see Joe Mauer end his career as a Royal or a Tiger. I may be the only one, but my love of the Twins is about so much more than winning. It is about family.
