    They’re 2-4 bro.

    Nice post. I also thought Sanchez missed the home run by a “couple feet” though an earlier poster said a couple of inches. A buddy of mine said it “was very close” but I didn’t think so. Regardless, not enough to merit a bat flip in my opinion. He was getting roasted on Twitter saying he thinks he’s still in Yankee stadium. Great insight on Duran and the question of what he is: an inning 5-7 fireman or the closer? Like you said: “good problem to have” and I enjoy it, but if he’s got the intestinal fortitude for it, I’d say just make him the closer. Not sure who else could do it.

    Nice. Well-written and moving. Thank you.

    A lot to like! Opening Day for a number of teams. A well-written article (thanks Seth). Royce Lewis 3-3 on steals in 3 games- I guess I didn’t realize he had THAT kind of speed. Those LEDs in Cedar Rapids were wild- makes me want to take in a game there even more! ENCARNACION-STRAND! Wow. What an opener for him. Will be fun to follow him on these pages this season. Can’t wait!

    Ooo Landon Leach is back. There’s a name I had basically forgotten about. Hope he can find something

    Yeah this season has been a dud, but I took my wife and five year old tonight. Great weather and we got fired up during the offense’s outburst. Kepler’s triple was awesome. Fun to enjoy some outdoor, winning baseball on a beautiful evening. Wish we could have more of this.

    Games like this from Sano give me fleeting hope. Now I’m buckled up for him to stink for a week. Some consistency would be great from him. Limit the strikeouts, please! I like how his plays 1st base too.
  8. MplsFan
    Great write up. I was laughing enough to take the sting out of a loss. Just wish a highlight of Turtle’s route had been included.
  9. MplsFan
    I really like this group. Thanks for the write up! Where can I read more about Beck’s circuitous route to MILB?
  10. MplsFan
    At least three DNPs in a row for Cavaco. Is he hurt?
  11. MplsFan
    His diving catch in center last night was sweet
  12. MplsFan
    No way they will trade him, but they absolutely should.
  13. MplsFan
    Holy smokes. How soon can that Yennier Cano guy get to Minneapolis?
  14. MplsFan
    I’m excited these write ups and the minor leagues are returning. Thanks for mentioning that Saints games will be on the radio. That’s really cool and a huge benefit for having the AAA affiliate so close. Can’t wait to listen to a couple of those!

    Attended the game today. First one since the pandemic. It was boring as heck. The players seemed as bored as the fans. Until the bats heat up and the players and Rocco show any urgency, I’m not going back. Appreciated Smeltzer’s effort today- he might be our best pitcher. Cave’s effort too (I said in another post that I’d be fine with him carrying us for a couple days).
  16. MplsFan
    If Jake Cave wants to carry this team for a while, I’m all for it
  17. MplsFan
    Ha! And now another “good story” with Thielbar. He pitched for the Saints! He’s from MN! SMH
  18. MplsFan
    Agreed. I am so sick of him. Did Dick just say “Dobnak wondering when his luck is going to change”? Blah blah blah: he’s a starter Blah blah blah: he got a new pitch Blah blah blah: he signed a contract I don’t get it. I have zero faith whenever he’s run out there
  19. MplsFan
    As far as a third stringer, I’m not too interested in Romine, Lin, Riddle... I’m curious if Lewis’s injury would open a spot in camp for another prospect like Spencer Steer or Will Holland. Seemed like both of those guys put up good numbers in the minors in 2019
  20. MplsFan
    I appreciated the article and think most of the comments are fair. Not much room for him on the roster it seems but I was very impressed by his at-bats this year. He just never seemed to have a throw away plate appearance and with men on base I’d find myself wishing he was up
  21. MplsFan
    Lol! Yes
  22. MplsFan
    Not to diminish what Buxton’s done because he’s been awesome the last ~8 games and I agree it doesn’t seem like he’s hit his stride yet, but shouldn’t someone being talked about for Team or AL MVP be able to hit higher than 8th or 9th in the lineup? I just feel like Rocco treats him with kid gloves and frankly I don’t disagree with where he bats him. I wouldn’t want to move him to 1st or 4th in the order (is that where his stats say he should hit?) if it means his average would quickly drop to the Mendoza line. Just seems to me that isn’t the mark of someone being mentioned for MVP...
  23. MplsFan
    I appreciate the thoughts but it doesn’t really do much for me. If they want to assure I’ll watch it there’s one simple change they need to make: have it mean something again (winning league gets home field in the WS)
  24. MplsFan
    Sweet. Hopefully the: “we’ll be fine because of the soft schedule” attitude is coming to fruition.

    Had a chance to go to the Lookouts game last night as I was in town on business. A couple observations: 1. Very nice ballpark and night for a game, but attendance was less than 1,800 attendance the place felt pretty empty. I'm assuming it fills up a bit more when the team is in contention. 2. I wonder if the lack of attendance could also be due partially to the lack of marquee players on the roster. I was scanning it a bit before I got there and Rooker was really the only one I knew anything about. Seems like the Twins system has position players to be excited about in A ball and lower, but not a lot at AA or AAA. 3. I was impressed with Rooker. He was far more athletic than I thought he would be. For some reason, I was picturing him as a Daniel Palka/Tyler Austin-type, but he's much quicker than that. He flew in from third on a passed ball. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this as he's started 42 games in LF for the Lookouts this season, but it was interesting. Versatility can't hurt!
