    What to do, what to do?

    Great posts by everyone, though some make more sense to me than others. It is very difficult to predict success . There are many variables. The organization that is successful in predicting success, in teaching the tools necessary for success, in fostering a will to win, and in maintaining a future, while winning consistently, will win more games...but even then will lose 4 out of every 10 games. It is a heavy yoke we fans of specific baseball teams have chosen to wear.

    Good explanation of how two changes have made a huge difference. Habits are things done repeatedly. To change a habit, do something repeatedly a different way. The grip was easy for Sano to change, however getting used to it and swinging and actually connecting using the new grip, took multiple sessions in the batting cage, and live pitching, I am sure. I wonder specifically what drills Sano did over and over to change his bat swing to eliminate the little tipping of the bat toward the pitcher? Any ideas how a coach gets a hitter to change that "hitch", other than yell at him when he did it wrong and praise him when he did it correctly?

    I hate watching Lance Lynn pitch...unless it is against the Twins.

    I really do enjoy watching this Twins team play baseball. Thanks FO, Rocco, the unsung coaches and the players and staff.

    Good article. Extremely timely. I have 3 comments to make about this topic: 1) Why would a struggling started be expected to do any better in the bullpen? 2) I would emphasize "no walks" over the speed of the pitched baseball. I'd look for a reliever who will not walk anyone. If the pitcher pitches strikes, the odds are 7.5 out of 10 that the batter will make an out, whereas if the pitcher throws too many balls, the odds are 100 % that the batter walks to first base. Period. 3) I would look for a lefty who has extreme success pitching to left-handed hitters.

    "Tater trot hot dish" ?

    Good article. Very relevant. I would like to request you write a second similar article near the end of September. However I don;t think the Twins will be playing many teams with winning records the rest of the year, Still the Twins need to rest the starters and at the same time win the division. The last 6 weeks of regular season play will be interesting to watch.

    All is not lost. It is still early August and the Twins are tied for first place and are on pace to set a new MLB record for home runs. The Twins have the easiest remaining schedule of any of the major league contenders. There will be many victories over the Faded Sox, KC and the Sunshine Band and the Detroit Kittens. You must admit this is way more fun than last year.

    Thanks for this article Ted. I needed that this morning.

    I saw Clevinger smiling at Cruz also. Cruz was also smiling. I thought they were joking with each other or something funny had happened with the ump before Cruz was hurt.

    My eyes tell me that Sano's plate approach has improved the last month or so. Do the stats bare this out?
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    Ouch !
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    I give up. Steve, what is the rare occurrence which happened last night in the Twins' minor league organization?
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    Interesting, timely, fact-based article. Thank you, NIck.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Nice moment for all.

    Thanks Ashbury. It's nice to be nice to someone being nice to the nice.

    If Romo can get Taylor Rogers to laugh, that would be amazing.
