With the Diamond Cutter tomorrow night, three in a row is a real possibility!

It will be Matt Lawton and his messed up equilibrium. Or it could be either Willie Banks or Pat Maholmes if they get hot.

I know, I know.........It wasn't intended for you as much as I'm just old school and a bit overwhelmed by all the new data

Whatever happened to regular stats? Batting Average, Doubles, Home Runs, & RBI?

I would go after either John McGraw or Casey Stengel. McGraw loved the small ball style and I think he's available if the price is right.

CDog................. So by that rational, you are absolutely correct. Anything would have been better than his previous starts. He was completely brutal before last night! Last night was okay at very, very best. I didn't see positive strides in the least, regardless of how many runs he gave up or innings he pitched. If we had any minor league system right now, Liriano clearly would not be a starter.

I can't believe that we have dummied down expectations so much that last night was considered positive steps for Liriano. He still gave up 4 runs in six innings and didn't have the best control. When coming out of the game he threw his glove and stomped around. This guy has the tools, but is a complete head case. I have no confidence in him whatsoever. Sadly he will still get a decent contract from someone in free agency, but it won't be from the Twins.

I enjoy the taste of vomiting in my mouth more

A lot of great moments, but my favorite was Gomez racing around third and sliding in safely. I happened to run in to Gomez at MOA the night before the game and wished him good luck in passing. He hadn't played much in those last few months leading up to 163, but came up big when it mattered.

Excellent post! The different ballparks just might be my favorite part of the sport. Each one is unique and part of the fabric of a community. Enjoy the season my friend!

I don't think he ever sees Major League Baseball again. I would assume he'll end up back in Japan by the end of the year if not sooner.

No way this guy could have won a batting title in any league. He is terrible from both sides of the plate, can't bunt and has average speed at best. That Japanese league must be similar to town ball.

This one is a no brainer. Kipnes easily has the biggest upside of the group and has star potential written all over him. When I was in Cleveland for the Twins series in August last year, I saw one of the wittiest signs in a while. It read "We are all Kipnesses" of course in reference to the former Lebron ad campaign.

Nishioka is clearly not major league talent in the field or at the plate. He shouldn't make it regardless of any other situations. The Twins brass needs to admit this was a mistake, eat the contract and move on.

Full season pack in section Q for this year. I was in 320 for the first two seasons. I only missed three total games in the first 2 years.
