  2. Walleye fry at my house tomorrow. It's like loaves and fishes. Enough to feed everyone.
  3. I need to apologize to the Twins Daily game thread crew and most of the members in general. I missed the game thread for the first game in order to attend the fishing opener this morning. Again, my apologies....I'll take the blame for the loss. However, I'm back in the saddle now and ready to win game two of the double hitter. Again, my sincerest apologies. Twinssporto
  4. Perez is only 28 years old. He could have finally found the form and mechanics to turn his game around to become an elite pitcher versus a mediocre pitcher. Gibby is 31. It took him until 29 or so before he found his groove. I'm optimistic Perez can keep this up.
  5. This is like a little league team playing. It looks that bad. Serious.
  6. This team is so scary I'm going to carve my pumpkins at Halloween with a Twins logo. The kids will never approach the door.
  7. I guess we're gonna have to bring Sano up soon. No home run threat there............................
  8. I'm going to shave off Ron Gardenhire's goatee tonight when he falls asleep. I'll text pics!
  9. I'm in rainbow land. Unicorns are chasing me through the field of dreams....Twins.... Light happy music from KQRS days playing in background.
  10. Boys and Girls...We actually have a MLB team to be proud of. It's only been a decade or so. Enjoy this! Wish the Game Threads were as busy as they were 5-6 years ago when we sucked. Sooo much fun now.
  11. Pitch to contact friend. Pitch to contact.
  12. Too bad on the double play... This team is only going to get better at home when we have 35,000 + fans cheering. It should energize the team along with the warmer weather.
  13. They bought their tickets. They knew what they were getting into...I say, let em' crash.
  14. Cleveland is starting to look really tough too. So overwhelming on so many fronts. It's going to be a real squeaker. I don't believe a word of my post by the way...
  15. I'm a little irritated Garver's avg dropped below .350...So frustrating. Sano - hurry up and get here
  16. God bless the double play (when it works for the Twins not against). God bless Marwin God bless Vlad
  17. The way this lineup is constructed I don't see a lot of reasons why this team would regress from a production standpoint. I think the HR trend will continue as most of these guys are either considered power hitters or at least 20+ HR players each year: Cruz, Rosario, Cron, Kepler, Schoop, Sano, Garver, Polanco, (Buxton we can put on the bubble). Don't forget, it looks like the balls are wound a little more tightly this year too. It might be a record year for MLB homers. The way the current batting averages look I don't see any reason why there would be regression from a hitting perspective either. When I look at the lineup the only guy from a batting average perspective that seems to be playing above his capability (key word capability) is Garver at .333. What should he be? .275? I actually think Garver is a legitimate .280+ hitter....Polanco may be playing above his norm as well at .313. What should he be at .280, .250? I always thought he was a better hitter than given credit for and not surprised by his success. The rest of the guys from an average perspective seem to be inline with expectations or below. Rosario should be higher than .222, Gonzalez should be above .191, Cron should be above .221. Buxton at .258 seems reasonable (although I think he can hit better), Schoop looks like he should be a .275 hitter and Kepler looks like Kepler at .257. I actually think this teams offense can and will get better once warmer weather arrives. I'm sure someone can throw out analytic data to refute my observations but looking at the qualitative and quantitative side of this, I think this team is gonna roll a lot of team over.
  18. The Twins should have won Friday night...Bases loaded two times and nothing, errors, etc. Not a good showing and we beat ourselves. Today's game illustrates how we can play with anyone, especially after beating up on Houston. This team is for real. They will contend barring the usual pitfalls: Injuries, pitching, blah, blah, blah... This lineup is scary good. If Sano produces you'll wish you'd bought the Vegas Sport Book for Twins as ALCS Champs and WS Champs.
  19. Come on Gibby!!!! This guy bat .185!! Attack
