  1. We all know that time will tell about Jenkins, but my money is on Captain America.
  2. I love the expression that Keasch plays ball like a man with his air on fire. He is constantly in motion. He is a pest for the opposing pitchers. In summation, he hustles.
  3. Oh my goodness. I did not know that. Why is that? Lack of range? Errors,? Poor positioning? Errant throws? His arm strength looks strong to my eyes. What do you think specifically has caused his below average OAA for August? How did I miss this? I am not worthy.
  4. Keasch definitely got into the Detroit pitcher's head while Keasch was on base. Jumping all around, stealing 2nd base ,then jumping around while Clemens was at bat. I loved it. Pitchers who say that they don't pay any attention to that type of stuff, are liars.
  5. That is easy...Culpepper at SS. He has been a breath of fresh air.
  6. "Ironically or coincidently, one of those two" That is hilarious Seth. Thanks for the laugh. I love it. I can just see you typing this article by the light of a small table lamp. You are the only one awake in your house, and ironically or coincidentally, one of those two, the only light still on in your neighborhood. You are yawning and sleepy. And you are tired, you just don't give a damn which word to use because the Twins' youngsters, the ones you helped nurture with your interviews and your friendship and your fandom and your numerous articles about them as minor leaguers and whom we all are cheering for, these youngsters...... your youngsters...... were making huge advances and it's September and the Twins are playing meaningful baseball...we can see and smell the wild card in the distance, and ....coincidently.... the Twins just won 15 to 2.
  7. Is this post for real? Or is it a poor attempt at sarcasm? No one on TD will agree to this post.
  8. $20,000 is approximately 1 /1,000 per cent of Buck's 2026 salary. $20,000 divided by $15,142, 857=0.00132 Money had nothing to do with Buck's decision. It was a chance of a lifetime to play a major league game there. I salute Buck for his generous choice.
  9. The real reason for the name Pilots is because that there used to be a lot of horse stables there in the early years and in order to keep the stables clean they hired lots of extra workers to pile it here and pile it there. Thus the Pilots.
  10. I still am all for the 2026 version of the trade deadline. 100% Play each game like there is no tomorrow. A caveat...I'm 81 and i live each day with gratitude and optimism.
  11. How about a North Carolina Chapter of TD, especially with the 4 North Carolina players on the current Twins.
  12. Great go have another North Carolinian join Jeffers (Raleigh), Ober (Huntersville) and Mathews. (Cullowhee ). While I have not met Walker Jenkins (Southport) I have close friends who know him well and they tell me he is a great player, but an even better person. Even though Merek Houston did not grew up in North Carolina, he went to college in North Carolina at Wake Forest. Go Tar Heels !
  13. Thanks Brock. TD is a daily view for me here in North Carolina. It has been a gift to this 73 year Twins/Senators' fan, (I'm 81 . I became a Senators' fan when I was 8 because I had been born in Washington and my grandparents lived there). After my grandparents moved to North Carolina when I was 12, I used to read my grandfather's Washington Post sports sections, which he would save for me and the "local" Charlotte Observer (Charlotte was a long time Senator's/Twins minor league affiliate), Baseball Digest and the Sporting News for my Senators/Twins information. Now I don't feel alone in my support of the Twins. For years and years here in North Carolina, I felt I was the only Senators/Twins fan in North Carolina. Because of TD, I am now an integral part of a knowledgeable community of Twins fans. Thank you.
  14. I would have been disappointed if the Twins had signed Valdez. Any pitcher who would intentionally cross up his own catcher, a little used sub, and drill his own catcher, does not need to be in the Twins' clubhouse. Then because he was mad at himself for those Boston home runs which he allowed, he hit Trevor Story. What did that accomplish? No way I want him on the Twins.
