    I think that 1940 is when the official weather station moved to the current airport location. They restarted all the official records to keep them comparable. (Probably more for temperature than precipitation, though.)

    Rarely is not never! But I would have told you it never snows in April.
  3. PDX Twin
    But so vastly superior to a few years ago!

    During one of the spring games they had Rod Carew in the booth during an Arraez at-bat. Rod was absolutely gushing both about his talent and his attitude. Something to the effect of "You can see him thinking on every pitch. Everything I've suggested to him he has put into effect right away." The next batter was Sano, and Rod had little to say beyond "He doesn't listen to anything anyone says and just goes up there and swings as hard as he can."

    I love Arraez!

    Gotta make sure that there are enough bullpen innings to get Duffey in...
  7. PDX Twin
    Sano is an average defensive DH.
  8. PDX Twin
    Mauer makes that play.

    Plate ump has been inconsistent with strike zone, but he's probably the skinniest plate ump I've seen, even with all the gear on.

    Mike Lindell for the Twins? Lots of HBP?

    Obviously, power is a good thing, ceteris paribus. But we seem to have a lot of guys with poor hit, run, and field tools at the expense of great power tools. It's so hard to judge the hit tools of draftable players because they are not facing professional pitching. It seems like power and speed are easier to assess. But, for balance if nothing else, I'd really like to see more guys like Miller and not so many like Sabato.

    I'm really interested in someone who isn't a power hitter! We have so many of those all the way through the system. Everyone on your chart has at least 7 HR in, what, 30 games?

    Given their reputation in Minnesota, I found it surprising that they are considered a delicacy in Slovakia, especially for Christmas dinner. Around mid-December large metal tanks (like livestock troughs) appear outside every grocery store and are filled with live carp. Slovaks buy them and keep them alive in their bathtubs until Christmas.

    Re the Cedar Rapids game: The score was 1-0 for most of the game after a most unusual first-inning run. With one out and the bases loaded, The batter struck out, the catcher threw to first to try to catch the runner off base, and the runner on third (leadoff hitter Anthony Prato, who had stolen second earlier in the inning) took off and stole home. That's one way to avoid being shut out with the bases loaded. I could see Buxton doing this (but maybe not Sano).

    I asked this in the Twins' game thread but got no response: What the heck is a Sky Carp?
  16. PDX Twin
    You mean an intestinal sausage casing?
  17. PDX Twin
    I'm tempted to answer "No."
  18. PDX Twin
    Not a bad debut.
  19. PDX Twin
    I have the sound off, so I didn't hear the descriptions, but it looks a lot like the one on a popular TV program.
  20. PDX Twin
    OK, this is enough to make me turn off MiLB TV: The Kernels have a little girl spinning the "Wheel of Pork" between innings.
  21. PDX Twin
    Or not...
  22. PDX Twin
    When do we get to see "Kirill-on"?
  23. PDX Twin
    Yes. He's saving Duffey for the close ones.
  24. PDX Twin
    Three games and not a single run yet... Only trots!
  25. PDX Twin
    I wish I could think that it's just shortened spring training.
