  1. "This would offer me some hope if it happened and I'd be led to believe that they actually have a clue of what they are doing." So you agree it will not be happening.
  2. When I read the headline, I thought the Twins got Shelton AND Skenes. Apparently not.
  3. "1.074sec - 0.938sec = Brooks Lee's throw reaches 1st base .136 seconds later than the average MLB SS. Runner traveling 27ft/sec x .136sec = 3.7 feet. That's what Brooks Lee's arm gives up relative to the average MLB shortstop. A bang-bang out play becomes an easy infield hit by almost 4 feet if Brooks Lee is throwing the ball." Enjoyed the math. Reminded me of my dad.
  4. second-ranked prospect Jhostynxon Garcia (right-handed hitting outfielder) Does Dan Gladden get to vote on trade options?
  5. My appreciation for Clemens grew when one of our pitchers fielded a bunt (or swinging bunt), threw wildly to first, and Clemens, playing second base, caught the errant throw on the fly.
  6. "He's (Ryan's) a stud. Minnesota can get a very nice return package when the time comes." So, two 18-year-old catchers rather than one.
  7. I see he pitched today. 3 innings, no hits, no runs, one walk, six strikeouts.
  8. It was a lot of fun listening to Herb and to Ray Scott. We had it pretty good.
  9. I have written this before, but it was several years ago. In 1968, I ushered a few games at the Met. On one occasion, during warm-ups, shortstop Jackie Hernandez was making very erratic throws to Reese at first base. Eventually, one of the coaches noticed, "asked" Hernandez what he was doing, and Hernandez said that Reese wanted him to make bad throws. The coach ended this training exercise.
  10. If I recall correctly, a big if, Rooker was drafted while Terry Ryan was GM, Sometimes, a new leader will think more highly of his/her picks than those of his/her predecessor.
  11. In the 1960s, my mom always knew the Twins had lost that afternoon if I was playing catch with the retired dentist who lived next door.
  12. What I liked about watching Winokur's three homeruns was that he was near second base when the ball landed.
  13. I'm sorry. I read the headline and presumed this was Stu's Friday article.
  14. Does anyone know how many games there have been this year with Correa, Buxton, and Lewis in the starting lineup as position players?
  15. My favorite non-Twin in the 1960s. Was at Met Stadium when he homered in the 1965 ASG.
  16. " I was really bummed when they traded him, but Don Mincher soon became one of my faves." The Twins traded Hall AND Mincher together to the Angels.
  17. Since no one has suggested this, I presume this is a bad idea. But, when I look at his height, weight, comparative lack of speed (though much better than mine), and strong throwing arm, I think of a catcher.
