  1. Just as we expected in April.
  2. Dick said they would look into it.
  3. But does he really deserve Minor League Pitcher of the Day when he's pitching for the Twins? I guess that at this point of the season the Twins vs. Cubs might qualify as minor league ...
  4. Seems like the Cubs are not all that good at baseball.
  5. Tuned in just in time to ... miss Kepler's homerun.
  6. It figures that the Air Force guy is into the "big fly."
  7. Kepler came up through the Twins' system during the Terry Ryan era. My recollection is that the Twins were much more focused on hitting the ball hard to all fields in those days, which explains the high average in the high minors. But now he seems to have bought totally into the "hit it as hard as I can to right field" philosophy and it has (IMO) ruined him at the plate in exchange for a few extra HRs each year. Can he go back to his foundations? Should he?
  8. In my (very limited) experience, the slowness varies a lot by team, as well as by player. My two least-favorite AL teams (those furthest east) seem to relish their time "on stage" and stand around posing for the camera as long as possible. I attribute that to pure ego-centric arrogance, but maybe there is another reason. Games between these two teams often last ~4 hours.
  9. Except for Cruz, all are pitchers. If the Twins had a terrific pitching staff, one could say they had dealt from strength. In real life, not so much.
  10. I know it's a typo, but I had some fun thinking about a lineup with no catcher and two centerfielders. Actually, I'm not sure the rules allow no catcher...
  11. I vote for Tortuga. Maybe that's why he didn't start in the first game.
  12. Garver has been teaching the newbie to catch.
  13. Especially if New York and Boston end up watching the whole postseason on TV.
  14. Twins' double-header on one screen, Champions' League on the other. Retirement is looking good today!
  15. One of the times I wish Sano would just strike out and let the next guy try.
  16. It worked for Al Hrabosky ...
  17. That would be remarkable (improbable, though possible if the bases were loaded and they trailed by 3-5 runs in the ninth inning at home) if true, but I think you mean "final three innings."
  18. Zuber on to pitch. Didn't the Twins give him away last night?
  19. He no-hit Cleveland, pitching for the Brewers.
