Not that anyone cares but flew to France about 4 days ago to get married in Paris. Watching my beloved Twins now in Bordeaux, France. I want a win tonight. Gonna hit some nice wineries and celebrate a Wild Card series win....GO TWINS!!!
Couple of thoughts why this team could go far this playoff season:
Depth of pinch hitters (as article above explains)
Bullpen more fortified with Stewart and Paddock
Very good starting pitching
If Lewis and Correa are back even better. Kind of feel fine with Buxton not playing at all....what's that say?
Dude, we're going to the playoffs. Thank the good Lord you're not a Tigers fan.
Sorry, wasn't trying to be trite. .However, I do agree with some of your post....I'm on the drop Baldelli express train.
The Vike's might blow it this year but I truly believe this Twins team has a better chance of winning the World Series than the Vike's getting to the NFC Championship game.
I think the Twins are a real sleeper team this year...I might have to blog an article to give more info.
This team is starting to "Gel"...
Just a thought....If the Twins really want to ride Gallo through the playoffs do you know what will happen? He'll hit .475, multiple HR's and 20 RBI's. He's gonna fool another team next year.
How long does it take a team to announce a trade after the trade deadline expires? I know they have to have it to the commissioners office by 5pm CT...I wonder if the Twins even did anything. All I hear are crickets...
I wasn't focusing on how they did it 30 years ago. Just an over simplified observation. As they say in the investment world, "past results are not indicative of future performance"
I'm not a math whiz but I do remember the 87 and 91 Twins teams had a decent team batting average (.261 in 1987 and .280 in 1991). I'll take the higher batting average...
This is the least amount of games I've watched in years. Love watching the pitching but this teams offensive lineup is so bad it just makes me nuts. For me, it looks like this team is listless, rudderless and tepid at best...no fire or excitement from any player with the exception of Royce...
I'm not being negative, just being honest, I've watched this team for 35+ years closely. I've never seen such an unispiring lineup of hitters in a long, long time.....
