  1. Those grand slams were the worst thing that ever happened to him. He started thinking he was a superstar and got cocky. Pitchers adjusted to him and he's been clueless ever since. Get rid of the face paint and learn to hit.
  2. He doesn't learn. How long do they keep putting him out there? Dump him and save on face paint.
  3. Same with Lewis. They've learned how to pitch to him and he hasn't adjusted.
  4. I still remember his walkup music: Give me some men Who are stout-hearted men Who will fight For the rights They adore
  5. Interesting stats: High school: Around 0.0277% of high school baseball players will make it to the majors. College: Around 0.37% of college players make it to the majors. Drafted players: Approximately 17.6% of drafted and signed players go on to play in the majors. Minor leaguers: About 10% of minor leaguers make it to the major leagues, some for just one game. First round: 66% make to the majors Second round: The success rate drops to about 51% Third round: The success rate drops to about 40%
  6. I think his very early success (grand slams) went to his head and he began to think of himself as a superstar when he wasn't. He seems to see himself as the voice of the Twins organization and the leader of the team when he hasn't earned it on the field. That said, they should sign him to a 3-5 year contract and hope he develops a more mature attitude about himself. The shelves are bare and he's the best they've got.
  7. Like failing to bunt the ghost runner to third in the last game.
  8. Because the Saints had such a good season?
  9. Three playoff teams - Cincinnati, Milwaukee and Cleveland, had lower payroll than the Twins.
  10. At least he makes up for it with his .188 BA.😄
  11. Chris Gimenez, a former catcher and first baseman,hit a home run while listed as a pitcher for the Minnesota Twins on September 2, 2018. After pitching an inning of relief against the Texas Rangers, he came up to bat in the top of the ninth inning and hit a home run.
