    That would be two feet further back from the current 60 feet 6 inches.

    It would be nice if Sano could get his average up to .220 and strikeouts down to 40%.

    Anyone know when Balazovic might return from IL?

    If anyone cares to read the original argument of this thread, it says that the Twins have attempted over the past two years to get Berries and Buxton to sign extensions and have been turned down by the players and agents. The players are heading to free agency. If this assumption is true then the Twins really have no choice but to trade them this year at or before the trade deadline. Losing both after 2022 with nothing in return would be a disaster. In my opinion, the trades would return far more this year (with one and a half years of control and time to work on extensions) than next year. So it comes back around to the original comment of give the players until the end of June to sign extensions or ship them out for the best packages.

    Is that something new? Why can't a player be called up from any level if they are ready?
  6. terrydactyls
    Both the Saints and the Surge hitters look ready to join the Twins - a combined 2 for 14 RISP.

    The guys on MLB radio had an interesting take on the 3-0 home run. They said that if the Twins want to use a meatball pitcher to mop up the game and the count goes to 3-0, if you don't want the batter to hit the snot out of the next pitch, signal the ump that you want to walk the batter.

    On the bright side, yesterday the Wild beat Las Vegas in OT. That's one more playoff win than the Twins have in the last 20 years.

    Thanks. I guess only a local would know that.

    I think Matt forgot last year was cancelled. ?

    Question?? In Matt Henderson's tweet, he wonders how long Miranda will be in ICT. What is ICT?

    Sabato was drafted because his style of hitting is similar to Sano. Right now, Sabato is working on striking out more than 50% of the time. Once he has that mastered, he is going to work on the occasional home run.

    On a more positive note, Kirill Kaprisov got two more goals last night.

    I am thrilled that the minor leagues are playing and that this column will be available every morning for me to read. I missed it all last year - may last year rest in peace and never repeated.

    Being isolated in Maine, I don't get many opportunities to watch Twins games. Last night was an exception. Rortvedt looked good behind the plate and held his own batting. Buxton was phenomenal. And Kirilloff hit the ball hard in each at bat. The first at bat was a home run anywhere in the park except straight away center. And his last at bat was a line drive out to the second baseman who was playing about 160 feet from home plate. Very impressive at bats. And then the Twins successfully execute a hit-and-run. When's the last time that was done? And the bullpen looked great. Maybe I'm a good luck charm?

    I thought that the Age of Trump had ended? Using Twitter for your factual source is humorous.
  17. terrydactyls
    That is an excellent cherry picking example! A perfect pitch! On the other hand, I have also seen many examples of the pitcher throwing to the outer half of the plate to left-handers, even with an extreme shift behind him. It's much easier to punch that pitch to left then try to muscle it through the right side.
  18. terrydactyls
    If they are such "gifted athletes", why can't they learn to hit the opposite way? I think of them more as stubborn athletes determined to beat the shift by muscling their way through it.
  19. terrydactyls
    Player A is Celestino and Player B is Baddoo. Picking both is a cop out. And the Twins did protect just one - Celestino.
  20. terrydactyls
    I tried to make it look pretty but failed.
  21. terrydactyls
    Dr. Gast Below are minor league statistics for two players in the Twins farm system. Both had played four seasons and reached Fort Myers. Both are outfielders. Which would you protect? Player A Player B HR 21 21 RBI 131 93 SB 61 47 AVG .274 .249 OBP .346 .357 OPS .746 .780
  22. terrydactyls
    Dr. Evil - I guess AZTwin couldn't come up with an example.
  23. terrydactyls
    I don't like scotch. How about bourbon?
  24. terrydactyls
    that is illogical. There is no correlation between leaving Baddoo off the 40 man roster and the signing of Garlick. A coincidence, I'll buy into. But not a correlation. It would only be a correlation if the Twins said "let's leave Baddoo unprotected so we can pick up Garlick."
  25. terrydactyls
    Barrio was drafted in December 2020 and Garlick was signed in February 2021. No correlation there.
