  1. That’s quite a leap from what I actually said. I didn’t say good vibes matter more than winning. I said the quality of the clubhouse is one factor in evaluating a manager, and the manager deserves some credit when a respected player calls it the best clubhouse he’s ever been involved with.. Shelton should absolutely be judged on wins and losses. But pretending leadership, trust, and clubhouse culture have nothing to do with winning is a pretty shallow way to evaluate a manager.
  2. Gotta start somewhere. This team is way more enjoyable to watch than last year's team. Even before the trade deadline selloff.
  3. I had a nice conversation with Pablo Lopez a couple of weeks ago (thought about writing about it on TD, but didn't). I asked him specifically about the vibe in the clubhouse. He said this year was the best clubhouse he's ever been associated with. The manager has a lot to do with that. P.S. Pablo is a fantastic human being.
  4. I've watched the kid play twice now at the ballpark (love calling rookies kids)....Based on what I've seen, the kid is a gamer. Still a little hesitant at SS, but I think that's just adjusting to a new environment, etc. The fact that he went 3-4 the other day is huge. Great confidence builder too. I'm encouraged by what I've seen so far.
  5. We had the game on in the office, and I told everyone watching the 9th inning that KC's manager was nuts to pull their starter. When Kody hit that homer, everyone went nuts! Great day!
  6. I actually enjoy watching this team now. It feels like they are a team of scrappers and have some heart. By the way, the Twins have one of the highest-scoring offenses in the American League right now. The starting pitching, even with the injuries, has been a surprising positive. Bullpen....crap. Overall, better than I expected. I think Shelton has helped out a lot too.
  7. Winning puts asses in the seats. Very simple formula for selling tickets.
  8. I was thinking the same thing. Shelton is a breath of fresh air after Rocco. He just puts off a better demeanor.
  9. These are the types of articles that make me excited about Twins baseball. The MLB team is not good. At least I see a future.....hopefully.
  10. I honestly cannot believe Outman is still here...This team has a spark, but holy s@!^!!! Need more defense regardless.
  11. Totally agree! The problem with Outman is his name and position. Horrible baseball name for a hitter/fielder. If he were a pitcher, yes, great name!
  12. Thanks for the uplifting message, I guess. I’m sure Opening Day will be a blast… or at least it would’ve been if they’d bothered to play the actual youngsters. I still can’t wrap my head around how this roster was put together — it feels like they tried to make it confusing on purpose. Honestly, my entertainment this season might just be watching how fast this whole thing gets scrapped in favor of the guys over in St. Paul. At this point, that’s the real show. Maybe we should start an over/under pool for Outman, Larnach, and the rest. Thirty games? Twenty? I’m tempted to take the under just for the comedy value.
