  1. I wish Rodney was doing this. I'd be relaxed...
  2. I liked Riverbrian's response to this thread topic. However, I would like to suggest another idea. The real fear is that extra year of service time and he becomes good or great... Why not just sign him to a long term extension now? The Twins should take a flyer and just do it. There are risks to both parties in this scenario but I bet the Twins can get a better deal now than later. If you think this kid is going to be a great or even an above average player this is a no brainer.
  3. The Twins are gonna roll these guys tonight. Seems like the team has a little spark again.
  4. Somebody turn those machines back on! Trading Places movie in case you forgot...
  5. If Buxton and Sano were playing like they have always been projected, yes I would make the trade. Since the core 4 is now 2 at the moment I think it's better to keep the young talent in the organization.
  6. Everyone relax. LoMo is coming out. Got the game in the bag now! His .191 avg is really going to give us a jolt.
  7. Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing. Nine of Twelve foooooooor the win!
  8. I'm sure Grossman will clear the bases tonight batting 4th.
  9. Thanks for passing this along. Good read!
  10. Thanks for the game recap. Couple of thoughts as I was at the game: 1. Saw Patrick Reusse at Murphy's bar before the game. He was walking around and saying hello to all the Twins fans. He was fun to speak with. His shirt was soaked with sweat... 2. It was so hot today at the game I think I lost 25 pounds in water weight. Maybe had 10 beers and never had to visit the restroom (I know TMI). 3. Sat behind home plate and it looked like the Ump had a hard time finding the strike zone (including Jose). 4. We lost and we still had a great time at Wrigley. The Cub fans are nice people. Best regards, Twinssporto reporting from Wrigley Field
  11. Great, great intro! Traveled from Minneapolis today to see the Cubs and Twins play at Wrigley with my daughter. Will toast a beer to Moose and Liam...
  12. Nice breakdown Tom. Thank for the info!
  13. Great article. Thank you for articulating what I have been thinking and posting comments about for the last year or so (sometimes at my own peril)... I like the approach the Twins are taking with him right now. As Brian said above, he could probably use a good life coach or mentor. I think most of this is mental. Sano seems to be a smart guy and has a natural talent for baseball in general. I loved to watch him work the pitchers two years ago. His confidence has obviously been shaken. Time to find his groove again.
  14. I have no words.
  15. Motter is a Dan Gladden millinial. Gonna be a super star.
  16. This is on Sano. Its not the F.O. Agree some of this is under their watch but most of its injury related issues. I'm not an apologist for the F.O. but after Polanco decided to take PED's, Mauer got a concussion, Buxton broke a toe, Sano pulled his hammy (his only excuse), Castro blew out his knee cap and Santana had finger surgery....things went down hill. Oh, Dozier isn't hitting either. When it rains it pours.
  17. 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.
