    i can’t like this article enough! Thank you! You should encourage all your women friends to participate on TD, if they don’t already. The forums and blogs await! Game threads in particular. It amazes me with all the women fans out there, female fans don’t make up half the participants here ... yet. I’m not much of a Twitter person, but have participated on message boards and websites for years and usually I’ve been one of two or three women. It’s nice seeing those numbers grow. It hasn’t always been an easy experience, for various reasons, but for the love of the game, and having others to talk Twins with, since I live out of state, I stick with it. So, send your friends here! It's a great community! Me, circa 1966? Forget the toy guns (not sure how or why that was a thing), but look at the sweatshirt I'm wearing ... 1965 American League champs Kinda wish I still had those sunglasses, though.

    Larnach was lifted because of the pitching match up. I think it was the right call. And then he was substituted with Celestino at the top of the next inning, also the right call. I’ve said it a few times, I think Duffey is a good reliever, but not as a closer, ever. I have no issues bringing in Duffey when Baldelli did, and it paid off. Had Duffey been called to pitch the 9th, we’d be having a very different conversation. Wasn’t someone warming up when Pagan finally got the last out? Can’t remember who, but I thought someone had started to warm up, so I think there was a plan B. But on that, I could be mistaken. Then again, maybe we have an 'Everyday Eddie' part 2 on our hands. Yep, I think the ump made the right call on that pitch, but maybe the right call was putting Jeffers into the lineup at the start, instead of Sanchez. Not sure the reason, but Sanchez has been catching Ober, so we saw Jeffers instead. Not only did Jeffers get a timely hit, and scored the tying run, he made a good block in the 9th, and his set up and framing allowed the ump to actually see the ball to make the correct call. Kudos to Rocco for putting Jeffers in for the game. Just offering a different perspective. Maybe Baldelli gets some credit here instead of the Twins winning in spite of him.

    Yup. And that was the winning run. He doesn’t throw home, and who knows how the game would’ve ended

    Thorpe released? https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/lewis-thorpe-released-by-twins/

    Good point. Numbers aren't always created equally or evenly.

    I don't think we should be giving such idiocy a platform, personally. I think we can establish a line ... but ... such is life

    And yet, here it is on TD …

    Take a hindsight topic and stir it up to get responses ... it's a formula for some

    I found this a strange article and a strange comparison, imo. I mean no disrespect when I say that, but it is very odd to me. I guess in the grander scale, talking about relevancy, we could draw comparisons, make analogies, to many things. The only constant is change. If anything wants to remain constant, well, change is inevitable. Adapt or perish. I work in an industry that competes for its own relevancy and we are always trying new things, presenting ourselves in new venues, trying to find new things that relate to others in meaningful ways. Sometimes it means letting go of persons or things that made us relevant at one time but is making us irrelevant in a new time. But baseball is making itself irrelevant on its own. While other entities work toward finding answers, I don't think baseball is trying to that because those who own it, don't really care, truly, about its fanbase and the people that make it relevant.

    The Guardians is the renamed team from Cleveland, where Falvey was when their pitching pipeline was developed.

      I would like them to win however the season is young and it’s cold outside. That’s why we play baseball. Have a good day.

      I want them to win to celebrate a birthday for a friend :) I know it's a long season and mostly don't care about 1 win, but I just want it today :)

    Reading what it was, I'm not sure I'd want that name ... but then we have Mighty Mussels in our system ... I mean, mussels are squishy and icky, not so mighty, so why not Sky Carp. (Assume they mean the Canadian goose ... those birds are kind of nasty)

    testing ... anyone else having difficulties commenting in this space?

    I won't play Chief either ... but I'll take on the two of you ... I at least know what beats what and how to keep track of cards and assess the odds ... sort of ... enough that I would take on you two but not Chief ?

    Well, my opportunity won’t come until the Twins are in Chicago the beginning of July … I think I can handle the cold weather then ?

    Nice write up! It almost felt like I was there … except I was toasty warm, indoors and in another city and state ?

    Duran won’t be used as a starter, at least not to start the year. They’ve been pretty clear that he will be used in the BP to work his innings up. But I do wonder, now, if Winder will be the odd man out and sent back to St Paul before he throws a pitch in the majors. Yes, he will eventually get his opportunity, but … maybe not this coming week
  24. Squirrel
    Well ... I hope you have your life alert handy incase you fall over and can't get back up
  25. Squirrel
    That's a one big ... oh HECK no!
