  1. I read somewhere that Logan Morrison signed with the Yanks on a minor league deal- he's supposed to join Scranton at some point. I guess not yet.
  2. Perez is looking like our solid #3, maybe even 2 right now, and Pineda more like a #5. I don't care what order they come in, if Gibby can keep gaining strength, and Odorizzi can keep his ship righted enough to get thru 6 regularly, we've got the makings of a starting staff that could help us contend all year.
  3. He (and the team) weren't helped at all by the Great Outfield Experiment, either, which ended up just messing him up for a good while. Thanks, Molly.
  4. Well, maybe they played the Orioles too much early on. They played just like 'em tonight.

  6. That would have been cool, but it was just as cool, if not moreso, to see a rested Taylor Rogers just wipe out those Houston boys in the 8th. Now, I'd like the rest of the team to just beat the living snot out of 'em the rest of this series! Announce our presence with authority! And by gum, ain't it great to get one over on Verlander once in a while?

  8. Great win- this is what contending teams are supposed to do- make hay against the bottom-feeders (Toronto series excepted). Good for Marwin to get a couple of gift Rbi's, but man, that's the CF's ball all the way, and Smith came streaking in from left, and made him pull off his line. That's just bad baseball. I love Gary Thorne, the O's usual announcer, but man, he was so over the O's making mistakes like this. Love his call on Kep's opening HR... even though I kind of feel for the guy- he's a great baseball announcer. Good work, Twinks! Now let's get at least a split out of the 'Stros!
  9. It's true, he would have, for sure. But I'm wondering if, after his spring struggles, they're keeping him around til he shows he can do the job consistently, and when they bring him up, he'd be up to stay, instead of being another cog in the Rochester shuffle.

  12. Yeh, those numbers in recent Twins history generally show up on the other side of the ledger... Nice to have 'em in OUR box score for a change.
  13. What dreams may come.... Gee, how could a guy shuffle off this mortal coil without a sweet above-ground pool?
  14. True. Too often, though, the Twins have needed a stretcher after the stretch after the break.
  15. Folks like this who open their homes and hearts to these young struggling guys are true unsung heroes of the game. Kudos to you, Jamisea.
  16. Man, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to start my day with a box score instead of the headlines- especially in spring, when there are a lot of unfamiliar (or long-ago familiar) names, like: Wow, a Cameron in CF for the Tiggers- could it be? *click* Yes! It's Mike's boy! (And how about those MLB progeny on the Blue Jays who lit us up yesterday?) And I see the ghost of Jacque Jones hit a tater as well. ;-) Gibby, scattering hits, giving up nothing, and 4 Ks! Wow! Even a clean inning from A. Reed, and Peter Parker striking out the side in a clean one, too- maybe he's the real deal. And gee, this Tom Collins guy looks like a cool, refreshing 7th-inning kinda cocktail, too. I suppose when you're on the mound at a strapping 5'7", it helps to have a mean-dude beard. Happy Spring, everybody. Happy baseball, for better or worse.
  17. Wish I could like this twice. Actually, wish I could like this about 3 X per inning, but that hasn't happened a lot lately.
  18. I liked Granite a lot. I'm hoping he gets a good chance with the Rangers, and wish him well. On the other hand, wasn't he on the 40? And does that leave a spot? And is Kimbrel still out there?
  19. *Heavy sigh* Gosh, this guy... Look at all those big chunks of time without him, year after year after year. How can anyone hope to hone their skills with big gaps in their opportunities? Yes, some of it's from freak occurences, but come on... Yet another guy with all the God-given talent in the world, and letting it go to waste. The potential MLB lifetime is a fleetingly short window of an athlete's life. Not doing your utmost to be fit and ready for that long, physical grind is a crime. For those of us with a deep and abiding love for the game, and probably realized way back in school years that pro ball was not a part of your future- it's just heartbreaking to watch. Again.
  20. Mike, this series has been great! Thank you for the work you put in to allow the rest of us to jog down memory lane, or be introduced to Twinkie shadows of the past. Kudos, sir!
