  1. I agree. Twins Territory no longer includes Lake Wobegone, where the men are good looking, the women are strong and the baseball players are slightly above average.
  2. Good analysis. Thank you. I had thought that Escobar would be far superior to Sano in these areas. Boy was I wrong.
  3. Outstanding analysis. Thanks.
  4. When is that first round pick, Tyler Jay, going to burst upon the scene?
  5. Outstanding writing Tom. Thank you for the time, effort, knowledge and skill.
  6. You have the right to remain silent.
  7. If what you guys are saying is true, then why are you Twins' fans? If it is all about winning, why don't you pull for the baseball franchise with the most wins in the history of major league baseball, the New York Yankees? Why do fans pull for losing teams year after year? Being a loyal fan of a certain team is more than wins and losses.
  8. It is my belief that Molitor and Falvey working together everyday, communicating and learning was, and will continue to be, beneficial to both men's knowledge. Falvey is newer to his job than Molitor is to his. Molitor has been in various baseball jobs about as long as Falvey has been living. I submit Molitor's Hall of Fame plaque grants him immediate respect from the players. The two men's respective attributes combined are better than two "old school" experienced baseball minds or two like-minded, brilliant "metrics minds".
  9. It means that in the grand scheme of things: "It matters not if you win or lose, it's how you play the game." I am a Twins fan for more than just the wins, as enjoyable as they may be. I think many readers at TD feel the same.
  10. It is important for all of us Twins fans to read Mike Berardino's article "No Surrender" especially today after our disappointing loss last night. Matt Belisle had it right when he said: "Even if you lose, if you do it right, you're a winner." The 2017 Twins are winners. Period.
  11. Can Sano pitch? Pitching is the key tonight and every night. I hope tonight the Twins only use 1 pitcher and the other 10 sit the whole game. Go Big Erv. Throw that slider 75% of the time.
  12. And Seth is buying! All right. I may fly up from North Carolina for this.
  13. Seth's Beer?
  14. I do believe, I do believe . I think I can, I think I can.
  15. A lot of variables with the roster decisions to be made and a lot at stake.
  16. This has been a feast of outstanding baseball this year for the Twins' players, fans, organization, coaches and staff. The minor league teams did well and some promising prospects are on their way up. It has also been a great season for Twins Daily. Thanks to everyone here at Twins Daily. But the main thing I want to say to all of you is what we say sometimes at a large family dinner when we have finished the crisp salad and the delicious main course and we are getting ready for our favorite desert..."Hold on to your forks, the best is yet to come"!
  17. My proposed strategy, after calculating the Minnesota Euclidean logarithms of victory>defeat, my formula for happiness requires the Twins to score more runs than the Evil Empire. Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Twins!
  18. Thanks Nicky and Rodney. huhguy you deserve a pat on the back too.
  19. After watching videos of this year's Twins celebrate...I have changed my mind and I want to say I was wrong in my earlier statement to act like you've been there before. It was fun watching these Twins celebrate in the clubhouse and to listen to their comments about how much they care for each other. This really is a special team and a special time in the lives of the Twins' players, organization and fans. Remember this feeling and prepare to play hard Tuesday so we can have this feeling again Tuesday night.
  20. How about a group of us agree to retire and move to Ft. Myers and have breakfast every Tuesday where we discuss the Twins and we write interesting articles for Twins Daily and the articles are so interesting that we are all hired as part-time consultants for the Twins, who win 6 World Championships in a row using our Twins Daily ideas and a movie is made and Brad Pitt plays the part of tarheeltwinsfan in the movie and we are all voted into the Twins Hall of Fame. Now that's my idea of retirement.
  21. Oh wait....you must have Vargas instead of Duffy.
  22. You have 25 players, but 2 two are numbered 15 and there is no number 18. I guess you were celebrating late last night... a day early. Thanks for you goo and interesting analysis.
  23. Save it for the World Series. Act like you've been there before......OK.... just pretend you've been there before...ok... try to imagine what it would have been like to have been there before.
  24. In the musical, "Damn Yankees", the Washington Senators (the Twins' ancestor) beat the Yankees because Joe Boyd, aka Joe Hardy, hits a home run. We don't need Joe Hardy. We're a good baseball team that believes in each other. Go grab those Yankees by their sissy pinstripes and don't turn loose until they have been defeated and tossed aside like dirty laundry. Visualize Twins' players being interviewed as victors after the game, heads held high, shouting, laughing, cream pie in the face and more smiles than a happy face tee shirt factory. Do not, I repeat, do not, let defeat enter into our minds. The Twins story is the best in all of baseball this year. Everyone, except Yankee fans, will be pulling for the Twins to beat the pinstripes. Positive thoughts only.
  25. There are only 5 of the 15 American League teams with winning records. One of them was a 100 loss team last year and will win 82-88 games this year. Maybe we could hire that team's Hall of Fame manager. Wait a minute...we already have that team's manager. In summary, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
