    These Apple TV games..."you're killin' me smalls." If the Minnesota Twins win, but you're not able to watch it, does it still count? Somebody please find one consistent place for me to watch my favortie team play.

    To say Buxton has been productive at DH, is setting the bar pretty low for that spot. He needs to be in centerfield...period. His defense is what excels him into an elite category...remember when he was a platinum defender? He needs to be in the CF mix, playing at least 2-3 times per week, where his defense can make a difference because it certainly isn't happening much offensively.

    I asked myself the same question before our baseball road trip to Wichita last year from Red Wing, MN. Every Thursday home game, the Wichita Wind Surge tranform into their alter ego, the Turbo Tubs. So I looked it up on their team website and here's what they said about the name. "The Turbo Tubs identity is a tribute to Wichita with distinct identifiers specific to the city. The wind sail and jet engines propel the porcelain bathtub onward, paying homage to the tub races once held on the Arkansas River. The troll found along the water walk, near the Keeper of the Plains, takes charge as captain, bringing to life the fable tales heard by young and old throughout the community. The branding also includes a color palette of the one-of-a-kind sunsets uniquely occurring in the Midwest geographical region." The Arkansas River runs right by their ballpark. On a personal note, I love the Turbo Tubs jerseys, and purchased a game worn/team issued jersey from their team shop last year. If you road trip to Wichita, I highly recommend eating at Bite Me BBQ. So now you know.

    Trevor Plouffe was always a class act, and is my daughter Audrey's favorite Twins player of all-time. She melted when he waved at her during TwinsFest. I look forward to his contributions and insight during Minnesota Twins games.

    The Minnesota Twins NEED Taylor as insurance in CF. I'd much rather lose Nick Gordon.

    Our old friend Michael Tonkin got the win for the Atlanta Braves last night and is not 2-1 on the year with a 2.51 ERA. Eddie Rosario went deep for the Braves in the win for his first HR of the season.

    I like the early returns on Lopez...I think he and Duran have the potential to be an effective 1-2 punch in the pen.

    Thank you Twins Daily for another outstanding minor league report. You are the French vanilla creamer for my coffee each morning.
  9. nclahammer
    Excellent report, will look for some of the discount sections you mentioned. Went to Saturday's game, a couple of scoreboard hiccups for a half-inning or so, but the pace was swift.

    Always liked Tyler Duffy, a class act, and wish him good luck!

    Excellent report Ted. Right behind my coffee, the minor league report is probably my favorite thing in the morning. Good to see how the kids are progressing. I sure hope the new minor league pay scale kicked in on day one for them.

    I'm pretty sure I've sat next to Tom, maybe only for an inning or two, at a Twins game.
  13. nclahammer
    TBD...to be determined. Intitial look somewhat favors Reds.

    Byron Buxton on pace for 243 runs scored? Joey Gallo on pace for 324 strikeouts? Fun to play with the numbers are this stage of the season.

    Terrific post. I like, how with any baseball list, it leads the reader to take pause and reflect. While not everyone may agree on the top 6, 10, or whatever the number may be, it is the journey the reflection has taken you on that makes the trip worthwhile.

    Besides my French vanilla creamer, Twins Daily minor league reports are the BEST thing to go with my morning coffee. Great stuff and thank you TD staff.

    Again, not sure where you're going with this, the link you provided is 5 years old? Anything current? I'll reiterate my main talking point again...History has shown that when everyday people make more money, they end up spending more money in the communities in which they live and work. How is that a bad thing? Minor League baseball will still be the best financial deal in professional baseball for fans, even after its players earn a liveable wage.

    Wow, not sure where you're going with this one. Campaign contribution? Quietly slipped into massive spending bill? By who? We're all reading about this now...in a public forum. History has shown that when everyday people make more money, they end up spending more money in the communities in which they live and work. Minor League baseball will still be the best financial deal in professional baseball for fans, even after its players earn a liveable wage.

    91 wins and the AL Central Division title. The playoff losing streak is halted, and a playoff series is won!

    Always liked "Hildy", ever since I saw him pitch for the Twins in Cedar Rapids. Sat next to him for half and inning during a spring training game in Port Charlotte in 2017 while he had a clipboard and was charting pitches (he would end up pitching the last inning and getting the save.) He was very nice, chatted about his days in A ball, and signed a ball for me (still have it.) Trivia note, his roomate in college and A ball was Michael Theofanopoulos, and combined their last names had 26 letters, which I think may be an all-time franchise record for roommates in this obscure stat.

    The poutine at CHS Field is among the best food I've ever had at any ballpark in 40+ years.

    I was at the game where he put a homerun into what is now a bar area in centerfield, just under Minnie and Paul. Park was all the rage at TwinsFest that year and a very nice guy when I got his autograph. Wish him well.

    Bonus points for the Matt Moses reference.

    I didn't want your Valentine's Day to be unbearable. Awesome job Melissa, the Correa first choice one just about send my coffee out my nose.

    I haven't seen anything in writing that says the Twins wanted to make Miranda more trim and lose weight. I applaud Miranda for taking the intiative himself. He's capable at 3B and has looked alright there in the minors & majors. Give the kid a chance.
