    This movie premiers on my birthday. Got to wonder if some theater will do a marathon of episodes 1-6 (ok, maybe skip everything but Darth Maul in episode 1) and finish it with the premier showing of 7.

    Not all that high. Peripherals didn't say much more than 5th starter, but in his first two starts this season, he's really taking a step forward. SSS at this point I know, but encouraging none the less. For the record, he was one of those relief arms we drafted in 2012. Lots of upset people (myself included) at that. Hopefully he vindicates the Twins.

    I think I like Happ, especially if Aiken is going to fall. Best college bat and can play some OF, he could be our Kris Bryant (though not quite that high of a ceiling).

    yeah, everyone knows they just get better when they get called up Meyer didn't make it out of the 4th today. I'm really curious why his walk rate skyrocketed between AA and AAA, but it's looking like more of the same and quite possibly a long stint in NY if things don't change. I'd like to believe they have him working on throwing certain pitches for strikes, but who knows.

    One of these things is not like the others...

    Hmm... this is some fun with numbers quality stuff right here. 1) KC Runs 2) KC XBH's 3) Walks by Twins batters, since errors are rarely scored as errors. 4) KC Home runs 5) Push at 4 a piece.

    So you're comparing the rest of Twins Daily to Twitter? That's a low blow.

    5. Alex Meyer - we hardly new you, and didn't make it out of the 4th today. Another 5 walks too.

    I'd say with the pen, sooner than later. They should have allowed a couple of those younger arms in the pen to begin with. Not quite sure Burdi, Reed, Jones are ready for the show, but letting Tonkin, Oliveros, and Pressley have some extended time makes a ton of sense. I think Arcia needs a few more weeks, though it should be clearly pointed out to him is that he needs to work a lot harder on the defense. His offense certainly isn't helping, but I'm far less worried about that long term than the fact that defense doesn't appear to be something he is working on. He's 23, and played some CF in rookie ball. There's no reason to think he cannot be an average defender. I'd imagine Pinto will be up shortly regardless.

    The Elite controls the interest groups to an extent too.

    I haven't checked recently, but I know Belgium had problems forming a government and was pretty much free for a few years. Not sure if that's still the case but if it was, that might be a viable option. Their economy was doing quite well during that time. If not, I'm thinking the moon.

    We're practically neighbors. I live in Zionsville, right off of 65. I've done the trip via 65 last year and remember it being around 6 hours, though there was some construction in Chattanooga that was a problem. I was going to drive it though if I go do.

    Given how the org is playing, we might want to go in the next week or two In all seriousness though, earlier is looking better than later. I have a tough time believing these guys will all be here. What we have so far: May 2, 3 - Jacksonville (Marlins) elee612, chitown? May 9, 10- Jackson (Mariners) May 16-17 - Montgomery (Rays)- SD Buhr?, Chitown (preferred) May 30-31 - Biloxi (Brewers) - SD Buhr (preferred) I'm fine with any of those dates (for now at least). Getting my puppy fixed tentatively on May 1, so that first weekend might not work for me, but that date might be able to be moved. Thrylos? Anyone else?
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    what the heck do Hicks and Buxton have to do to be called a stud? Both played quite well.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    Honestly, I hope they target someone outside if they target someone. I'd throw a lot of money at the guy who manages the Rays and see if he'd come to a team with a bit more of a budget to work with. Heck, I think I'd take Krivisky over Antony. Haven't seen much from Rob in his test drive last spring that tells me he'd be a good fit for the job. I do think though that a 100 loss season would mean TR is retiring. Not sure on Molitor, that's hardly fair to see him gone after a season.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    At the rate things are going, I suspect this may be plan B. Wouldn't be surprised in the least if mid-May you see Pelf DFAd, Milone traded, Hicks called up, Arcia sent down (and I am really beginning to think this should happen b/c he shouldn't be this bad defensively), Sano, Meyer, and possibly even Berrios.

    Yellow snow + Blue ice = Green ?
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    So question of the day. If Hunter was in LF tracking the flyball he hit to LF, would he have caught it?
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    Are they paying you $11/month? I think you should ask for more.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    No wonder you have trouble being positive. Do they at least let you out to use the bathroom? FWIW, I've spent most of the day in airports...
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    Loading the bases with balls that either never left the infield, or barely left it, followed by a sac fly.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    Trevor May an early candidate for the unluckiest player out there.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    The Twins have had no shortage of memorable events over the last few seasons... unfortunately, most of them aren't good.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    I think it means the Target dog's wagging tail is blowing wind in from RF.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    What's it like being the other Mauer in the Twins organization?
