Funny article. Thanks Greggory.
-
When is Keaschall scheduled to be able to play 2B?
-
This is a tough article to read, but it needed to be said.
-
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).
-
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.

Good, fact-based, optimistic article. Thanks Cody.
-
This was a fascinating article. Thanks Matthew.

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.

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

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.
-
I think Lee will play more at 2B than Julien will. Hopefully Lee can settle in there for the long term. The Twins will find a place for Keashall, if he hits at AAA this year. Probably DH for 2025, due to his Tommy John surgery.

I feel a lot worse for Royce Lewis, than I do for the Twins' loss. It really is not fair, but life is not fair sometimes. Royce Lewis is such a friendly, nice person. Good luck Royce. Never give up.

So many choices. So little time. I want Miranda to take a huge step forward this year. But where will he play? I think France will be our "Carlos Santana" this year, although he won't win a Glod Glove. Leave Lewis at 3B. The 3B-man of today must field like a SS and have a rifle for an arm. Lewis fits the bill. Miranda is below average, at best, at any fielding position. He is best suited for DH. Lee needs to play 2B due to his potential to be a good fielder there and he is a switch-hitter. He is just getting started as a major league hitter. It takes a while for 95% of the major leaguers to learn to hit at that level. C-4 is the anchor at SS. Julian needs to hit well somewhere and then the Twins need to trade him. Bader is solid in the OF. A great signing. Castro needs to be a utility player in the infield. I expect big years from Wallner and Larnach. I feel the Twins are going to play with chips on their shoulders because of the embarrassing late season swoon in 2024. They need to prove something in 2025. Buck, Correa, Jeffers are in line for big seasons. The pitching is the best I can ever remember the Twins having, especially the bullpen. Today I'm making my no-refund hotel reservations for Minneapolis in October.

Raya hit 3 Boston players. One of whom injured his hand and came out of the game.

I just retired 2 months ago after 52 years as a trial lawyer. It was a grind. But retirement is wonderful.

Third base coach, Tommy Watkins looked good diving to the ground to escape a screaming line drive foul aimed at Tommy's head. Royce Lewis looked good signing autographs long after all the other players had gone into the club-house. Lewis was smiling and chatting with each fan. He chatted with the 3rd base umpire, the 3rd base coach from Boston, and anyone who was within listening range. That is great PR, but that really is Royce being Royce. What a friendly guy. Also I saw a beautiful large Bard Owl at dusk at Six Mile Cyprus Slough, when it flew low right over my head, as it hooted at me. Plus 4 different alligators looked impressive as they swam lazily by in 3 separate ponds in the slough.

Ryan Fitzgerald made an incredible play Saturday at SS, diving to his right to field a sharply hit ball, get to his feet and throw a strike to first base to save a run , late in the game. He is a 30 year old AAA player who hustles and has a good arm. He hit 14 HR last year in AAA and hit for a decent average for a SS.

Raya was awful Saturday.
-
No surprises here. I felt so bad for Raya yesterday as I sat in the stands in Ft. Myers and watched his complete inability to get the baseball over the plate. He's not that bad, but I hope it will somehow turn into a positive learning experience for him.

Morales looked overmatched yesterday against the Braves. He struck out twice and did not look good. He redeemed himself today with a game tying HR. Played LF and 2B. Good trade bait.

Thank you Nick for this sentimental article. It was entertaining and informative. Thank you also for being willing to express yourself openly through your writing. I became a Washington Senators fan in the early 1950's, when we were visiting our grandparents in Washington, DC and my grandfather took my brother and me to see the Senators play the Tigers at old Griffith Stadium. The Senators lost. But we had so much fun. We got autographs from some of the Senators' players wives, who told us they had never been asked for autographs before. Mrs. Clint Courtney, Mrs. Chuck Stobbs. I was hooked. Living in North Carolina I had little access to the Senators/Twins information, stats, news, stories. I missed out on cheering for my favorite team with anyone else except my grandfather, who lived in Washington. He then moved to Statesville, NC to be near us and he continued getting the Washington Post and saved the sports sections for me. But then the Senators moved to Minnesota, my grandfather died and my information about the Twins was limited to the Sporting News. The Twins were not featured very often. And the Twins would only be on tv's Game of the Week about once a year. But then the internet came, mlb.com came and in 1986 I became friends with Twins prospect, Mark Davidson, then the best thing happened in my Twins' fandom experience (beside becoming friends with Mark)...I found Twins Daily. Your work and writing has brought me daily information about the Twins. Halleluiah. And this evening my wife and I will start our 11 hour drive to Ft. Myers for our annual week at the Twins spring training. Thank you Nick for all you do to bring much needed Twins' information and joy to my life.

Great, concise summaries. Thank you, Jamie.

I'll be there for the Braves, Red Sox and Phillies games. I'm also looking forward to practice Thursday morning and Salty Papa's Shrimp House several times. Gooooo Twins!
