    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!

    And the playing of the song "Oh Mickey" when he would bat or do something good on the field? Am I imaging this, or did they actually play it at the Dome. This was before the advent of the walk up song.

    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.

    Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! He will always be one of my all-time favoite Twins.

    TBD...to be determined. Intitial look somewhat favors Reds.

    Eddie...Eddie...Eddie Rosario. Madening at times to watch, head-scratching at times on the base paths, but I enjoyed his zest for the game.

    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.

    They just put the tennis nets up here (Red Wing, MN) yesterday and the group I play with is meeting to play this afternoon. Even though it's in the 30s, we just need to get outside and move around (other than cleaning up the yard.) Bundling up for a baseball game is not my favorite thing to do, but that being said, my yearning to get back to Target Field and see baseball in person is strong, and will probably put me back in the seats April 8.

    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.

    Excellent story, so well written. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, and the insights I was not aware of with Dave Goltz.
  23. nclahammer
    Great insights, I was wondering what this event would be all about and how it went.
  24. nclahammer
    Great insight with this series on the Falvey philosophy.

    Scott Rolen is another example of the Baseball Hall of Fame becoming a Hall for the Pretty Good Players. Rolen's stats.....281 BA, 300 HRs, barely 2,000 hits, are good, but not HOF worthy, unless the milestone mark for hits bar has been lowered from 3,000 to 2,000, like the bar for pitching wins was drastically lowered from 300 to 200 (see Roy Halladay.)
