    Wonder what Carew would have hit is he played half his games in Coors Field?

    All right- I've decided to show my ignorance. Would somebody be so kind to explain the different WARs and their meanings? I've been reading the various posts when WAR has been the topic, and feel I must be the only one not knowing what's being discussed! Thanks!

    Great job of Plouffe knowing the situation!!
  5. curt1965
    Maybe not a great job......

    Good job by Pino. When(if) the Twins get their rotation figured out, he'd be a great guy to have in long relief.

    Run, Sammy, run!

    I agree. He has tremendous potential, but I question his make-up.....

    I know it wasn't his day to pitch, but I wish the Twins would have thrown Kris Johnson tonight. The M's look vulnerable to left handed pitching.

    Is it just me, or have the Twins been reluctant to steal this year? I think they are going to struggle to score runs the rest of the year, but in Dozier, Santana, Nunez, Fuld, and Escobar they have decent to excellent speed......

    Suzuki-zie!!!!!

    Sam Fuld -baseball stud

    Sounds exactly like Pat Neshak's injury.....
  14. curt1965
    Hey-there's some team playing on TV wearing Twins uniforms!
  15. curt1965
    Who are these guys?

    Great AB from Arcia- is he starting to get it?
  17. curt1965
    Thank you, Roy!

    Misc. thought: thought last night was the best of the year for Morales-really looked comfortable IMHO...

    One more guys-any news on Santana's rehab from his "mysterious" injury?

    Could you talk a little about the time-line for Berrios and Stewart?
  22. curt1965
    Seth-I've been trying to send comments about the terrific Hangout Show, but don't do twitter. Is there a way I can reach you?
  23. curt1965
    Speaking of getting to the game early, I used to try to arrive early so I could watch batting practice and infield. Now the gates are closed so you are not able to do this. What's up with that?

    I have to wonder if this culture and atmosphere hasn't been present in the Twins organization for years. I have felt that most uneducated fans and even some followers of TD have expressed their feelings that certain players are not tough enough. Two examples come to mind, but they are not related. The "bilateral leg weakness" issue with Mauer seemed to cause the media, fans, and yes, even Gardy, to question whether Joe was really hurt. None of us will ever know, but I often wondered why a great player, with possible HOF credentials, would not want to play to enhance his stats. How anyone could question his toughness, after years of catching when a player is continually hurt, is beyond my thinking. The other situation-that has nothing to do with toughness-relates to the Neshek situation. I followed his early career: Minnesota connection, unexpected success for a relative unknown, his interesting blog about life as a big leaguer. Then came the elbow tear. I don't remember the exact timeline, but the Twins wanted him to rest it, to see if he could forego TJ surgery.(I'm sure there must be cases when this has worked-I just don't know of any.) It obviously did not work for him, and he missed large portions of TWO years dealing with this issue. I don't know if a player has a right to say "I want the TJ surgery now," but this reluctance on the Twins part to deal with this issue in terms of a player's shelf life, has always bothered me.
