  1. Twins Daily is "Simply the best" when it comes coverage of the Minnesota Twins and their minor league affiliates. Thanks TD on another terrific season of reporting.
  2. Congrats on a terrific season Wind Surge. I had the chance to catch a couple of games in person down in Wichita and they're a fun team to watch.
  3. With one notable exception (the Bomba season) Max Kepler has been an underwhelming MLB outfielder.
  4. Joe Ryan will always be compared to Jose Berrios because that is who he was traded for. When you compare their stats this year, I'll take Ryan and the money we saved.
  5. If you are a batter at the professional level, IMO you should be able to bunt or hit the ball the other way and beat a shift. Few hitters have been willing to do this. Shifts have been around since Ted Williams played and have only increased because hitters have been unwilling to change to beat them.
  6. Congratulations louie Varland, go get em' kid!
  7. Milk squirting out my nose funny. Well played.
  8. Question for the masses. Who has a higher career batting average, Max Kepler or Miguel Sano? Would you be surprised to find out Sano has a .234 clip while Kepler is at .233? Both players are in their eighth season, and while Kepler is clearly the superior defender, Sano has more homeruns (162 to 129), more RBI (418 to 397) and higher career batting average. While the timing in Sano's contract makes his departure likely after this season, I'm curious what the decision on Kepler would be if his contract had him in the same boat? Would we be saying goodbye to both players? My thought is "Yes."
  9. Oh I needed a good laugh, and will be visualizing "what could have been" during the Twins next broadcast.
  10. Not sure what Johnson was making as Twins pitching coach, but according to LSU website TigerBait, he could make $750,000 as their pitching coach. https://tigerbait.com/s/4215/wes-johnson-to-join-jay-johnsons-lsu-baseball-staff
  11. The color on my TV with Sanchez's homerun showed their usual road gray uniforms with Minnesota across the front. Just verified watching it again off the Twins team website.
  12. Kepler currently has a lifetime BA of .234...the same as Miguel Sano. More context.
  13. Does anyone else who is old enough to remember Les Nessman from the TV show WKRP think of Chi Chi's first name with a long i?
  14. The increase in walks is an improvement, but a .243 BA with just 6 HRs? I expected much more than this from Kepler.
  15. What a terrific read, and great thinking outside the box content. Every pair of eyes at Target Field offers its own perspective. Reminds me of when Leroy Neiman painted Harmon Killebrew on the David Letterman show dedicted to Harmon.
  16. A little deductive reasoning once the Toronto series begins will answer the "who's" vaccinated or not question. Good one on the Simmon's quote...coffee nearly shot through my nose.
  17. The best part of waking up, Twins Daily, the Minor League Report, and my coffee (with French vanilla creamer), cheers!
  18. And just like that, i'm all caught up with what's happening on the farm. Thank you Twins Daily.
