    Lewin Diaz hasn't played in over a week. Does anyone know if he's hurt?

    Imagine how mad Twins fans would be if we would've drafted Trout instead.

    Really long home runs are great, but I also love the ones that seem to barely get off the ground. There's something awesome about a ball hit so hard that, despite its lack of trajectory, is able to carry over the outfield wall. ESPN's Home Run Tracker has been measuring HR's since 2006. Not just distance, but other things one of them being Apex. Oakland's Josh Donaldson has the lowest HR so far this year. This shot peaked at 43 feet off the ground. Probably the most impressive this year came off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton. This laser, hit a couple days ago, peaked 6 feet higher than Donaldson's, but the kicker is that it was down the line of the opposite field. That's just incredible if you ask me. The lowest HR I've seen so far since the site started belongs to Carlos Peguero. In 2011, he had 2 HR's that peaked at 39 feet off the ground. This shot came off the Twin's Scott Baker. A little over a month later he hit one just like it. Anyone else have any impressive HR videos to share here, I'd love to see it.

    I opened up this thread pretty much to make this exact point. Time to see what the kid can do in the Eastern League.

    TK is absolutely brutal to listen to. Regardless of how much insight a person may provide, anyone in that kind of position should have some level of public speaking skills. TK has none whatsoever. I groan every time I tune in and find that TK is in there. I'd prefer Morris out of the 3. Actually if I had it my way, Provus and Gladden would be doing TV play by play. Bremer and whoever can go to radio.

    I'll probably try the stubhub route as the game nears.

    I know! they'll spend the 1st 10 minutes (at least) of the show talking/showing highlights about said teams. Then 20 minutes later they'll "revisit" the game and provide further commentary.
  8. righty8383
    Indeed, shows like baseball tonight and even sportcenter show far less actual highlights. It used to be, even the less popular/unsuccessful teams would get at least a little highlight time maybe towards the end of the show. Now its not even that. If the Twins aren't playing one of the large market teams, they likely won't even be mentioned. Then of course there's the quality of commentary on baseball tonight. Like others on this thread have posted, it leaves much to be desired.

    Romero hasn't even played in the Appy league yet. Not that its a big deal or anything. I just assumed Gonsalves would get the call 1st. Maybe Romero has just outshined him by a decent margin throughout EST. Looking forward to seeing what these kids can do in the Midwest League. Too bad about Jorge. Hopefully he can fix whatever has gone terribly wrong this year.
  10. righty8383
    Or Maybe Mauer, supposedly one of the most gifted hitters this organization has ever seen, could adjust his approach a little so that more of his well struck balls aren't going to the same spot. Easier said than done I'm sure, but has to be done nonetheless if Joe wants to regain the level of respectability he once had.
  11. righty8383
    Jorge lit up for the 4th straight time. Can anyone offer a scouting report? I know he walked 5 tonight over 2.2 innings. Obviously thats really bad, but he also gave up 7 hits. So when he got the ball over, it was getting tagged.
  12. righty8383
    Even if the Twins feel strong in the LHP department, this is just an odd move. I can only speculate, but I'm wondering if there was some type of off field issue going on here. But I guess its also possible that Twins scouts, despite his numbers thus far, don't feel Malinowski has the stuff to ever sniff the big leagues. I guess we'll see if he catches on with another team...
  13. righty8383
    I agree, he offers good insight but his delivery needs improving. At least he's not as bad as TK.
  14. righty8383
    I have a feeling the TD member "Fire Dan Gladden" will not be hitting the like button on this post. I however, agree. I enjoy listening to our radio guys, I would take them over Dick and Bert. To each his own though...
  15. righty8383
    Anyone know why Zach hasn't played since the 1st week of the season?
  16. righty8383
    Hey Brock, can we get a dislike button?:shoot:
  17. righty8383
    The real question is, will he be the first to receive a unanimous vote?
  18. righty8383
    More like 3 levels.
  19. righty8383
    You guys see the stat line on Max Kepler? Just 1 strike out in 32 AB's, yet he's only managed 3 hits.
  20. righty8383
    Stadium proposals became cliché and unoriginal a long time ago.I just roll my eyes when I see it now. Wish more teams would just do away with it.
  21. righty8383
    The speed has been noticeably better, at least for me.
  22. righty8383
    I hope we do get another pitcher. You can never have too much pitching. We've come a long ways since the days that Adrian Salcedo and Liam Hendriks were our best pitching prospects.
  23. righty8383
    I really don't care much for Pressley, but I would rather have him than Bartlett. Bartlett's days of being a productive major league player, at any position, are likely over.
  24. righty8383
    WAR is not as statistic, but rather a measurement of value. Weather people want to give it credibility is up to them. But I wouldn't include it in this discussion either way.
  25. righty8383
    Overrated for sure. Definitely not the most overrated though. Off the top of my head I would go with saves, wins, BA with RISP (I don't know if this is a recorded stat but people speak as if it means something), errors...
