  1. His AB vs. Duran was significant to me. He battled one the nastiest of the nasty and was rewarded with a broken bat single. Very impressive!
  2. Applaud the effort and the outline drawn on the wall the next day! Mike Jackson while having a solid season for the Twins also made sure Tori, Latroy, and Jacque went to the Negroe League Hall of Fame when they played the Royals.
  3. A good point. I would add that we have 10,000 lakes, the best WNBA team, Gopher sports, NBA, NFL, NHL teams as well as the Loons! St. Louis has the Blues (and the blues) and the Cardinals. KC has the Royals and Chiefs. Thus said, I went to the final Coors Field games (ticket price $1) and watched a full house cheer on the worst team in baseball.
  4. Methinks Roden, but putting Jackson on waivers would be tough. In September they can bring Roden back up.
  5. Fans like the intrigue of the trade deadline, but do you really want to mess with the chemistry of the team you have. It's too damn easy to over think things, play chess master when you should just 'Let it be, Let it be".........
  6. Bell's professional at bat was huge. Without it Kody never gets to the plate. He does lead the team in RBI's as well.
  7. Shea Langeliers just went on the dl with a torn Miniscus. Jeffers trade potential has increased a lot.
  8. Every organization has successes and horror stories.. Time will tel on these deals. You make a terrific point about how our draft position changed, enabling us to pick Lackey.
  9. Zebby is a classic "innings eater" that gives you 6 innings consistently. Every good staff needs a 4-5 starter that does this and every so often they steal wins with. For this team right now that is more than enough with the bullpen a possibility down the road. Look at other teams right now and evaluate and compare the backends of rotations to ours.
  10. Perhaps sending Alex Jackson in a package with Larnach could net a nice return for teams looking for catching depth. QO Jeffers and if he accepts you go a long way towards the coming MLB minimum salary floor.......or you trade Jeffers.
  11. First time agreeing with a Whitey take! Balance is needed. I enjoy the fun give and take, but at some point respond to what is going on. They would be great in a rain delay though. Two or three, but four in a booth?
  12. A young person has a memory that will last a lifetime. When I met "Captain America" in person in Cedar Rapids, he fit the part. A "yes sir-no maam" kind of guy, very impressive.
  13. Clutch hitting! Would you rather have someone who goes 3 for 4 and strikes out with the go ahead runners on or someone who goes 1 for4 and the lone hit wins the game?
  14. Not enough is written about clutch hitting. The Twins have great clutch hitting in general. Pat Tabler's career numbers don't jump off the page, but would you rather see him up with the bases packed than Byron Buxton? We have a bevy of clutch hitters now whose numbers don't wow you, but make the hits when they are needed. Ironically, the Buck Truck gets stuck in neutral while guys like Larnach, Lee, and Kreidler put the pedal to the metal when the ducks are on the pond.
  15. After beating the drums for Kreidler, time to talk about Alex Jackson. Since Jeffers went down, he and Caratini have kept our catching from dropping off in any significant way, Considering that Jeffers was on track to the All-Star game, that is no small achievement and makes the prospect of a Jeffers trade more acceptable. Just don't trade him to the Yankees!
  16. Not to mention Fedko's heads up advancing to third.He has not one hit to his ledger but helped us win a game. You gotta love baseball!
  17. Great article! I was just thinking that having Kreidler everyday is the way to go. You get your runs from the other positions. SS and catcher are defensive positions.
  18. Remember that the Twins won two World Series Crowns with Greg Gagne at SS. You want a solid glove first guy at that position. Hitting is a bonus.
  19. Finally MLB gets a female ump and unfortunately she is not Jackie Robinson. Hopefully she ups her game.
  20. I wish him well. He spoke at the TD preseason event last year and struck me as good human being and thoughtful in his responses. Unfortunately, good people sometimes can't get major league hitters out. Best of luck!
  21. He actually was sick in his 4 for4 game so they gave him a day off. Ut will be curious how far up the prospect rankings he goes.
