Out of 59 years, the current team ranks 9th on the all-time list of Twins' home runs in one season and are on a pace to hit 300 home runs this season. They are now 93 home runs behind the single season MLB record. The next Twins team to pass is the 1962 team that hit 185 home runs.

    Two plays I would like to see on ESPN highlights are the pitch Perez framed for the umpire even though it bounced eight feet in front of home plate. Priceless. And the second base umpire so surprised by Perez' attempt to catch Buxton stealing second that he couldn't get out the way and got hit in the back. Talk about bad luck for the Twins! Buxton might have scored on that error.

    i'm going out of town for a week (going to Minneapolis and then Rice Lake Wisconsin to play golf) and I'm not sure how much updating I'll be doing until next weekend. But here are the remaining nine teams (seasons) still ahead of the current squad. When I get back (or maybe before I leave if I find some time), I'll try to incorporate the "next up" phrase into the formulas. Year HRs Rank 2009 172 9 1962 185 8 2004 191 7 1987 196 5 1986 196 5 2016 200 4 2017 206 3 1964 221 2 1963 225 1

    How many wins is immaterial to the discussion about if a team is a power team. You're trying too hard.
  11. terrydactyls
    That's true but the Twins were in the top 10 most of the sixties and early seventies.
  12. terrydactyls
    From ESPN's MLB Database: Twins finished in top 5 of MLB Homeruns - 8 times Twins finished ranked 6-10 in MLB Homeruns - 14 times Twins finished ranked 11-15 in MLB Homeruns - 11 times That's 33 out of 58 seasons (I didn't include 2019) that the Twins finished in the top half of MLB in homeruns - 58%.

    Mainers are more laid back than the fans 90 miles South. In Boston, they are firmly behind spending every penny of the owner's money and trade everyone in the farm system for the current perceived savior.
  14. terrydactyls
    And currently they have a depleted farm system, are only a few games over.500, and are 11 games out of first place.

    I just read this in MLB Rumors. The Red Sox are rumored to be actively pursuing another starting pitcher for the playoff run. The article said that after Mark Price, Chris Sale, Rick Porcello, and Eduardo Rodriguez, their starters drop off. Anyone feeling sorry for them?

    The Twins have five OFs on the 40-man roster (along with Gonzales, Adriana's, Astudillo, and even Arraez in a pinch) along with nine OFs on the top 40 prospects list. There is a similar of jam at the MI positions. Add in the rule 5 problem coming up this winter and I think some "gutting" of the system would not be a major problem.
  17. terrydactyls
    That made no sense at all. Are you talking about power hitting teams, good pitching teams, overall team performance? Those are three separate topics. Your initial comment was that the Twins were not known historically as a power team and I pointed out that for many years, they were. What's pitching got to do with it?
  18. terrydactyls
    You must be too young to remember the many years of Killebrew, Allison, Mincher, Battey, Hall, Oliva in the lineup.

    At 165 homeruns, the Twins now hold the record for most homeruns before the All Star game and are only 103 homeruns short of the Yankees Major league single season record. Three more homeruns this weekend will vault them into the Twins single season top ten - at the All Star break!

    But how do other teams like our farm system? Do the Giants see anyone they really want? Or the Royals or Mets?
  25. terrydactyls
    We all believe the Twins have plenty of prospect capital to acquire all the pitching help we need. But how do other teams view our talent pool? Is there any site that can provide that sort of insight?
