    Really good point.

    Maeda should be willing to help the Twins any way he can at this point in his Twins tenure. He owes it to the Twins.

    I don't remember if it was Bremer or Morneau who told of Rod Carew asking a batter if the batter makes any changes to his approach when he gets 2 strikes on him. The batter said he chokes up a little and widens his stance, so he has a better chance of hitting the ball. Carew then said: "Why don't you do that for every pitch?"

    Please Cole, no more walks.

    Jeremy, great article which starts with classic first and second sentences. Thank you for this series. It is very informative and well researched.

    Two aces beat one ace in poker. Hope Ryan wins tonight.

    Great write up. I wish the national prognosticators ranked the Twins' prospects higher.

    This may be the funniest post of the season.

    The two critical walks by Pagan upset me more than the grand slam. Those two walks were inexcusable. I was a terrible high school pitcher on a terrible high school team, but even I could/would throw strikes in that situation. Having said that, even a high school hitter would know that Pagan was going to throw a fastball down the middle after two straight walks which tied the game. It was the walks that did him in.

    Seth, I must say that I like your selection and ranking of the top 30 better than the top 30 as selected by the process. But then, I'm not worthy.
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    Seth, This is just an amazing article. The work and organization which you, and others, put into this is very, very impressive. You deserve a handshake from Paul Hollywood.
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    Outstanding article Matt. Your writing is superb.

    I really like Correa's skip throw to 1B for an out. Trevor Plouffe said that an infielder does not lose any time using a skip throw to 1B. Trevor said he practiced it and timed it. It makes sense, because a skip throw is low, allowing the first baseman to stretch to the max to receive the throw low. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and in order for the first baseman to stretch to the max, the throw must be low.

    Buck said Bailey was a "Bulldog". I agree.

    How close is Jose Salas to being on the top 100 on the prospect list?

    Junior hit a home run over a light pole in the OF at Elizabethton in 2018. The Elizabethton FO person who told me this, said he had never seen anyone do that before.

    I can't believe none of the commentators have mentioned Polanco's return to the lineup on April 21, 2023. That was approximately 3 weeks ago. Polo's good switch hitting and adequate fielding at 2B and his experience are additional keys to the Twins' success this season.

    And if a mouse had wings, he could fly.

    I absolutely hate walks allowed by relievers whether there is a big lead by the Twins or a little lead, or no lead. Hate them. No walks by relievers. Just throw the ball over the plate. They are demoralizing.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good report. Thanks. I hope Lewis starts hitting today. 3 SO's in his last game was not so hot.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    4 Aces beat 4 3's every time.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'm not willing to credit the boos for Carlos Correa having 2 straight solid performances. Rather I would say Carlos is a habitually slow starter and he is steadily rising to his historically average hitting.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    I agree that it was a good trade at the time. At least the Twins did not trade their "first round draft pick teenaged pitching prospect" for Mahle.
