    Defense.

    Now: I think I can, I think I can. Say that enough and believe it. Work harder than everyone else and someday he'll say, I knew I could, I knew I could.

    Roll the dice and be the first team to take a HS RHP. He will be fun to watch as he advances through the minor leagues and when he is finally promoted to the major leagues, after months and possibly years of DaveW's posting "When will Greene be in high A; Promote Greene to AA; Why is Greene not in AAA; Put Greene on the 40 man roster; What in the world is the FO thinking by not putting Greene on the Twins right now!" Twins Daily won't be the same without you, DaveW.

    Sounds like a great guy...someone I'd want my son to play for. Good luck to Tommy Watkins.

    To determine whether a pitcher is an ace, you must ask the following question: "The ace of what?" Is Ervin the ace of the Twins' 2017 starting pitchers? Yes. Is he the ace of the American League for 2017? So far this season, probably yes. Is he the ace of all MLB for 2017? Maybe...so far. Is he "an" ace of mlb for the last 10 years? No he is not. It all depends on the comparisons. Like most things in life, this question is one of relativity. Compared to what? But for us at Twins Daily we only need to ask, "Do I want him to pitch for the Twins every 5th day". Absolutely!

    Maybe these accusations will work in Berrios' favor by worrying opposing hitters and managers and coaches so that they concentrate on something which is not there, instead of concentrating on other things which really matter. As Joe Garagiola wrote "Baseball is a funny game".

    Your point is really a great point. I had not really thought of this. This is a huge deviation from the past 4-5 years.
  10. tarheeltwinsfan
    Agreed.
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    I agree. Castro has been a real difference-maker behind the plate. He's worth every penny of his $8,000,000 so far this year...even with his low BA. I give him a lot of credit for the Twins' pitchers improved numbers this year.
  12. tarheeltwinsfan
    Is there any future contractual $ advantage for the Twins to keep Berrios and Mejia in AAA?
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    Nick, Now that we know you can accurately predict the future, when are you moving to Las Vegas?
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    Joe "Quagmire" Mauer just won the game with a walk off home run. That made me very happy. Thanks Joe!
  15. tarheeltwinsfan
    This report does not seem to justify making McKay the first choice in the entire draft. A middle of the rotation starter? A hitter who may not be able to catch up with major league fastballs?
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    BINGO!
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    How can a 2-1 10 inning game be "boring"?
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'm happy. The Twins are over .500, it is the most beautiful month of the year, the Tar Heels are national champs in basketball, I just has some good North Carolina BBQ and my family is well...and I am alive! "The snail's on the thorn, God's in His heaven, all's right with the world".

    Keep him to mentor our young pitchers who will soon be arriving.

    Miguel needs a good nickname. What are some suggestions? I suggest some variation referring to "Exit Velocity".. Maybe "Duck" or a variation of the Chattanooga team name: "Look Out".
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Thanks for this great trip down Memory Lane.

    I have never understood the claim that there is something so mentally or emotionally challenging about pitching. If a pitcher has a smart and hardworking catcher, who will study the other teams' lineups and strengths and weaknesses, and if the pitcher has enough sense to throw the pitches called by the catcher at the location called by the catcher and has the skill to hit the location indicated most of the time, and if the pitcher has pitches which are fast and which have excellent movement, then a pitcher doesn't need to think. Just throw the pitches where and how, this smart catcher says. Pitching is not rocket science. Just mix up your pitches and be aware of the game situation and the weaknesses and strengths of your opponents and be able to put your pitches where you want them to go doesn't take a physics degree from Harvard.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    70% first ball strikes would convince me. How hard is that to do? It's not rocket science.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Please give us an indepth background report on Nik Turley. His first 2 games have been nothing short of incredible.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    My sentiments exactly. Thanks TD owners, moderators and contributors. Each one of us is limited to 24 hours each day. It is significant that we chose to spend part of that time here.
