  1. I agree with Nick's article. Santana's excellent defense will be missed by Twins' pitchers and infielders and fans.
  2. This really looks bad. Didn't he have a foot injury part of 2024? Plus France said he was all messed up trying to get back to where he was before he changed some things in 2023 due to "analytics". I sure hope these figures from 2024 are no indication of what will happen in 2025. France was poor at hitting and awful at fielding in 2024.
  3. This is a wonderfully informative article attached. I am going to forward it to my 18 year old lefty grandson, who pitches for Scott Bankhead's travel team plus also for my grandson's high school baseball team in Greensboro, NC. He has committed to pitch for Concord University in Athens, West Virginia next year.
  4. A quick hook also can indicate faith in the bullpen, backed up by excellent performances from the relief pitchers, which the Twins had in 2024 and will have again this year.
  5. Hammer time. Rocco did not have to pinch hit Margot over and over and over and over, 30 times. That is not playing he hand he was dealt. It is doing the same unsuccessful thing over and over and expecting a different result due to the law of averages saying someday Margot will get a hit. That's similar to Rocco putting me in to hit 30 times because the law of averages says I'm bound to get a hit eventually. Mark Twain said: "Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable."
  6. CH, You may be on to something here. Only 2 lefty hitters, no lefty starting pitchers and only one lefty reliever. The FO has "lefty bias". Maybe Falvey was bullied by a lefty 9 year old in the 3rd grade.
  7. Let's follow Barney Fife's motto and "Nip it. Nip it in the bud." No more presidential smack talk. It's not funny.
  8. A good article. Thanks. I think Bader was a good signing for the Twins. He hustles and is a huge upgrade at the corners defensively. Yes, Wallner has great velo on his throws, but after reading the fine article about Wallner's lack of quickness in the OF and his limitations on throwing accuracy, I'm even more in favor of Bader playing a lot of corner OF.
  9. Your grammar is incorrect. "He can't be any bader than Margot". I like this signing for the Twins.
  10. The Twins just improved an already really good bullpen by signing lefty Coulombe. If the Twins keep Jeffers and Vasquez (smart, experienced, catchers) and C-4 plays his usual sterling SS and somebody is placed at 1B who can catch errant throws from 3B and 2B ,and Buck plays CF then all the starting pitchers for the Twins should be rejoicing.
  11. Ouch. I guess this is why the games are played. Play Ball !
  12. Who are you calling "penurious"? Parsimonious, maybe, but penurious? Your mother wears combat boots.
  13. Reading this train wreck list of players traded by San Diego makes me very grateful for Falvey.
  14. Good point, except the Twins needed Kep for the pennant race they were in in 2024. How did that work out?
  15. The Yankees have "owned" the Twins ever since Pedro Ramos left the Senators/Twins. Ramos used to beat the Evil Empire regularly.
  16. There is a reason a team places a catcher on waivers. Keep both Jeffers and Vasquez. Let's see what the Twins have in Cartaya before 2026.
