    Willie Keeler would have loved the shift.

    Good outing for Trevor May. Thanks for the informative report.

    Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in,

    Thanks for a great post about diminishing exciting plays in baseball. I got excited just reading it.

    This does not equate to Francona being a better manager than Molitor. The last 4 seasons Cleveland's record was 362 wins vs. 284 losses (.560 win percentage), while the Twins had 297 wins and 357 losses (.454 win percentage)...plus Cleveland's FO gave the Indians arguably the best relief corps , while the Twins had arguably the worst. The relievers on the team had a lot to do with one run wins and one run losses. I submit the credit/blame lies in the front offices, not the field managers. But then Falvey was with the Indians FO part of that time and now with the Twins FO...I don't know how to factor that variable.

    Initially, before I read this article, I thought the title to this interesting article was describing the current Twins' season.
  9. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'm discouraged.

    What about Lynn to the bullpen? Or trade Lynn to a contender for some prospects.
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    Or .270 for 4 months. I'll take that also.
  12. tarheeltwinsfan
    I really think there will be progression toward the norm for most of these below .200 hitters. In order to bat .240 for the season, they will have to hit .300+ for 2 months and .240 for 2 months.I feel a surge coming on.
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    I think I can, I think I can!
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    Well, I feel better now.

    I said it before, and I'll say it again...Twins will be in 1st place by July 4th.
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    These problems will be solved with some games against the Detroit Kittens, the Chicago Faded Socks, and the Kansas City Commoners. Hang in there until July when Santana and Polanco and maybe May and hopefully Mauer return and I predict the Twins will be in first place by July 4th, 2018.

    Great article. I hope Miguel Sano reads it, and reads it again, thinks long and hard about what the article is saying to him, and then talks to someone he respects, who will be honest with him...not just someone who tells Miguel what Miguel wants to hear.

    Easy guys. We're on thin ice here.
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    I would like to see more passion while the player is still in the game.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    Draft catchers.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'll swallow my pride for a lot less than $5,000,000...but then I'm not Lance Lynn.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    He seems to be an adequate first baseman. Made 2 nice picks of bounced throws late in last night's victory. If LoMo were not at 1B, who would be playing 1B tonight since Mauer is hurt and Garver is needed at catcher with Castro out for the season? The answer is...?

    The bad news for Phil Hughes is that he has been released. The good news is that such a nice article can be written by Nick about a nice man who gave it his best, had a tough series of injuries, but kept trying. He never gave up. There's a lot to be said for that. Hughes made enough money to live like a king the rest of his life. That, to me sounds like a lot of "good news" for Phil Hughes. I want to say to Phil Hughes: "Good luck to you, Phil ,and I hope your "after baseball life" is a long and happy one. Thank you for your dedication and effort. Thank you for your tweet."

    "Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence. " Vince Lombardi. The Twins have been without their starting SS, 3B, CF and #1 starting pitcher from last year's team, all of whom were slated to start at their respective positions this year. Now the starting C and 1B are out with injuries. Not many teams will play .500 ball with these losses to key position players plus the #1 starting pitcher. My feeling is that the Twins have done about as well as can be expected with these confidence crushing losses of personnel. Polanco, Sano, Buck, Santana, Mauer (hopefully) will all be back and each return will build confidence. As long as the Twins can cling to Cleveland's coattails another month, I really think we will take off in July. Our schedule looks favorable. Lynn was a good signing based on available stats, but Lynn just has not panned out. However, Lynn is not the only, nor the main, problem here. When Santana returns to the rotation, one of the "Big Five" must be removed anyway. I'm glad it will be Lynn instead of any of the other 4. This is a team game and we've been without almost two thirds of what was scheduled to be our opening day starting lineup. It's a wonder the Twins haven't totally given up mentally. It's a wonder I haven't also. But as for me, those early years in the 50's and 60's as a Washington Senators' fan have steeled my resolve. "Keep calm and carry on".
