    This offense should be like rolling thunder right now. However, nothing seems to click. I think the biggest culprit right now has been injuries. Buxton has missed a lot of time, Sano has missed a lot of time, Mauer is out and Polanco is detoxing. The things we've seen so far this year from Rosario is what I would expect him to do. Same with Kepler. Escobar picked up right where he left off last year taking over for Sano and is playing as expected. When over 1/3 of your lineup is out, injured, detoxing or out of practice you're going to see inconsistent play. I think missing Castro behind the plate also hurts the team. Unfortunately, this seems to be the theme for the 2018 squad.

    By the way, sat next to Dan Gladden Wednesday night at Ike's in Minnetonka. He was very nice. There were some little league kids in there with their baseball uniforms on and they came up to him and said hi. He chatted with them for 5-10 minutes then went over and spoke with their dad/coach. It was fun to watch. He was giving the kids some pointers and teasing them that their uniforms weren't dirty enough.

    I did hear a report on WCCO today that Minnesota and Wisconsin were at war with each other. The reporter mentioned that some individuals on the Wisconsin side were lobbing grenades over the boarder into Minnesota. The Minnesotans were throwing them back with the pins removed.

    As I said in my post, I hope I'm wrong about Sano......I do agree that when Sano is playing he's probably two million times the hitter Buxton is. However, it will be interesting to see how durable Sano (and Buxton for that matter) is this year and what type of production he ends up with. I'm cautiously optimistic.

    I would continue to let Buxton play. His bat will come around and his defense is too important to waste in AAA. I would love to see us bring up Flash Gordon. That might provide a real spark. Regarding Sano, I hope I'm wrong but I don't think Sano has the durability to be a huge factor on this team this year. We can pray for a Sano storm but I think the production will be choppy and inconsistent. A ton of strikeouts then some massive homers, slump, homer, strikeout...

    He's overthrowing. He knows he's got a one year contract and wants to be lights out in order to get a 4/80 contract next year in free agency. He'll settle down soon.

    I think some of these rehab assignments are ridiculous. I can understand missing well over a month of baseball games but for a guy out 10 days even three weeks, get him back in the game. We are starting to see more players coming off the DL and going right back to work with their major league team. Buxton is unusual in the fact his defensive skills are so much better than an average outfielder. I'd rather see him playing right away than sitting in AAA. I can't stomach another game with Grossman patrolling the outfield.

    I love reverse psychology! You saved this game! Thank you!!!

    So well said! COULD NOT agree more. This is a place for highly intelligent people and baseball people... Dos anyone now how to get red of the wine hiccups? I'm in real troble.

    It's like Taco Bell. Nothing to see here.

    I got game thread tomorrow...Gonna keep the streak alive people! Nervous though...Lots of pressure. Topic suggestions? It's a NL game so I'm confused on what to do. Something serious? Joking? Lying? Ugh!

    The GM's that passed on Yu Darvish 5 years $120mm and Lance Lynn 4 year $80mm dollar contracts look genius. The deal we got for Lynn was still good. I think... The days of huge contracts for pitchers over 30 are clearly going to decline in the future. Sorry, just ranting.

    Grossman is like poetry in motion in the outfield.
  15. twinssporto
    Thanks. I'd prefer if you kept lying to us though.

    I've dived for beers before. Doesn't hurt so much.

    Actually, posting one of those 1-900 chat lines we could all call into during the game thread would be fun. It's only $15 per minute.

    Keep it. We still may play a drinking game. If the depression keeps me in bed past noon it's gonna be 1-800 numbers and lineups.
  19. twinssporto
    I'm getting so depressed...I might just post the lineups tomorrow with a crisis hotline number.

    Your missing LaMarre.

    I love these announcers! Hilarious! Ripping on the thug with the yellow jersey in the stands. I'm still laughing.
  22. twinssporto
    It's so dark! Goes up high on the cheek bones too....

    LaMarre! Let's rally!!

    This should be our Game Thread mascot tonight:
  25. twinssporto
    I have the Game Thread intro tomorrow night. Any popular topics you want covered? Please note: I will not post anything about politics, apricots or tennis. All other topics are fair game. For what it's worth. I am considering turning the intro into a drinking game thread if we keep playing like this.
