    Today the Twins won the most important game of this season. Tomorrow will be the most important game of this season.

    I bet that was so much fun.
  3. tarheeltwinsfan
    What are some of the Opening Day traditions which you enjoy?
  4. tarheeltwinsfan
    Wow, this sounds like so much fun. If I'm not there, go ahead and start without me. I live in North Carolina. I believe I'll put this on my bucket list, right under my bucket list post of attending several World Series games in Minnesota in 2023.

    Well said Nick. Cross your fingers. If the Twins pitchers can keep up what they started against KC and Miami, and I think they can, then we'll be OK.

    The weather was beautiful in Miami these last 3 games.
  7. tarheeltwinsfan
    Yes, I was questioning why Buck got a day off. Thank you for answering my question.
  8. tarheeltwinsfan
    Was Buck "resting" yesterday? If so, why?
  9. tarheeltwinsfan
    Farmer hits leftys very well, so maybe let Farmer play 2B and let Solano play 1B and Buck DH.

    Twins win 2 games and lose the second game. Gallo continues to go deep 3 more times. Arraez takes the Twins players, Carlos Correa, Polo, Byron Buxton, Johan Duran, Nick Gordan and P. Lopez out to dinner at Miami's La Rosa - Fine Cuban Cuisine Restaurant, and all the Twins mysteriously get mild food poisoning, while Arraez does not. P. Lopez misses his start due to his stomach issues, however Emilio Pagan, who was not invited to eat at ALa Rosa Restaurant, starts game 3 of this series for the Twins and pitches 9 innings of shutout baseball to gain the victory.

    I regret making that statement. It is funny, but I was trying to be serious. The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray.

    No wonder the Mussels have so few major league prospects. They are all here on the Kernels. This is a heck of a minor league team. Shouldn't some of them be on the Mighty Mussels or the Witchita Wind Surge, so they could get more playing time? I count 31 players on this roster, when I include Raya. Seth, why are there no top prospects on the Mighty Mussels, and only two on the Wind Surge AA team (Lee at #1 and Festa at #13) and 7 top prospects on the Kernels (#3, #4, #7, #8, #14, #18, #20)? Are they placed according to current ability and not future predicted ability? I imagine a lot goes into placement of these minor leaguers. Seth, what are some of the criteria used by the FO in placement? Thank you for your outstanding articles about, and interviews with the Twins prospects.
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    Thanks Seth. The weather, the ball park, the training facilities, the beach, the seafood, the birds and wildlife all make playing baseball at Ft. Myers wonderful for a young prospect. Enjoy the present. But I doubt many, if any, of these players will ever make it into the major leagues. Possibly Perez and Shuffield, DeAndrade and hopefully Zebby Mathews.

    Even though I am a lifelong Twins fan, I really enjoyed Earl Weaver and his fire and brimstone attitude. If I had not been a Senators fan before they moved to Minnesota, I might have become an Orioles fan.
  15. tarheeltwinsfan
    You are correct. Arraez has to get on base in the first place, in order to "clog" the bases. Maybe I was a little harsh in my use of the term "clog the bases". Thanks for pointing that out.
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    Duran slept wrong and got a crick in his neck. This was mentioned by Dick Bremer.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    Pop, Don't check out of the game over Gallo leading off. Hang in there so you can say, "I told you so" to the rest of us when Gallo strikes out 4 times at leadoff. But when Gallo walks once, hits a double and 2 home runs and runs the bases quickly, I'll say, "I told you so" to you.
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    Larnach is too slow to have on base ahead of Buck. Gallo has the speed.
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good point about Arraez clogging up the bases.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    I agree about making the trade with the Marlins all day long. The article was really asking who should be batting leadoff for the Twins. I hope to see Gallo at leadoff after Sunday's 2HR, a double, 4 RBI's and a walk game for Gallo. I know it is just one game, but hopefully it is a sign of good things to come for Joey Barrels.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    That was an ugly slide into 3B by Buck. Glad he didn't hurt himself doing it.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    This gives new meaning to a "Meat and greet". To paraphrase a quote from "Jerry McGuire", you had me at free beer. Sorry My root beer will have to be in North Carolina as I watch the Twins on tv.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    I think losing Coulombe without anything in return, was the result of 2 bad decisions by the Twins: 1) Keeping Pagan 2) Keeping Sands. I had previously posted my negative feelings about keeping Sands over Coulombe. I had no idea that would result in the Twins losing a major league, left-handed relief pitcher, with nothing in return. How long will Coulombe have to be on the Orioles roster? It should be in his Twins contract. If it is 30 days or less, that was a poorly drafted contract for the Twins.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Exactly this.

    Throw strikes, minimize walks, let the best ML fielding 3 outfielders and the best ML fielding SS, do their jobs (I can't believe I am advocating, "pitch to contact"). Tell Rocco you are NOT coming out of the game when he comes to talk and then back up your brashness by getting the next 3-5 batters out. The odds are in the pitchers' favor because 7 times out of 10, there will be an out, even if La Tortuga is pitching.
