  1. I'm loosening up my arm and taking extra batting practice. I'll be available for the Saturday Twins' game in Hotlanta, which I will be attending in my Kirby Puckett jersey. Seriously. I really am.
  2. Good article. However I must respectfully disagree with your statement that the Twins "need a different type of hitter" than Luis Arraez. Arraez has a .322 lifetime average, a .370 OBP and .787 OPS. He plays 2B (a weakness of the Twins right now), 1B (no prospects for 1B in the pipeline for the Twins and using a 1 year free agent at 1B now) and 3B (Miranda, currently). We all like homeruns, but "the second coming of Tony Gwyn" will be in the Hall of Fame if he keeps this hitting up for 10 more years. The Twins could certainly find a position in the lineup for Luis Arraez for today's game with Detroit and for the rest of this season and for the rest of this amazing hitter's career.
  3. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" vs. "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow, You're only a day away!" . We fans can choose our attitude. We can turn off the tv or leave the game early. We can complain or encourage. The players, coaches, manager and staff have much more invested than we fans will ever realize. So come on TD Family. Let's join in in a joint cheer. Baseball is here. Spring is here. LET'S GO TWINS. Lets go Twins. let's go twins......let's go............................ I don't hear you.
  4. I'm not embarrassed to see how bad the White Sox have become. To quote "The Hawk"..."They gone!" Now if Duke will just lose.
  5. In some ways it is easier to write about a Twins victory rather than a Twins loss. That being said, this summary was an outstanding read. The choice of words written in this article was extremely clever and poetic. Thanks Steven. I hope to read more articles by you in the future.
  6. Gloom, despair and agony on me, deep dark depression, excessive misery. If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Gloom, despair and agony on me.
  7. Today's game still counts as much as any game in September. I really used to enjoy watching Sonny Gray pitch. Up , down, inside, outside, slow, slower, move to the left, move to the right. The man knows how to pitch.
  8. The most important game of the year will be played today. Each game is the most important game of the year.
  9. Great article Nick. Thanks. I predict MVP is C-4; Best pitcher is Lopez; Top Rookie: Gasper; Comeback player: Miranda
  10. This is a tough article to read, but it needed to be said.
  11. I bet a Twins Daily survey would be more "optimistic", since TD is made up of mostly "cock-eyed optimists" (credit to Nellie Forbush in South Pacific).
  12. Even though this article was well written and factually correct, it was sad to read. We all hope for a full and speedy recovery for Royce Lewis and we all hope he can finally stop this string of injuries.
  13. I was just going to post something like this. Falvey is due a lot of praise for the starting rotation, the pipeline of prospects (including a great spring by Connor Prielipp. Remember this lefty!) and the outstanding relief staff.
  14. I may be wrong, but I wonder if the increased frequency of Tommy John surgeries in the present times has something to do with medical advancements. In the times prior to Tommy John surgeries and when these surgeries were new and innovative treatments, pitchers with these types of injuries just quit baseball
  15. It depends on whether Rocco wants Miranda in the lineup or Julien. If he wants Miranda for his bat, then Miranda opens at 3B, warts and all, and Lee is at 2B. If he wants Julien at 2B, warts and all, then Lee opens at 3B. I don't think Castro will be starting as much as he did last year this year.
