    Very true. I myself was hopeful too. But 2020 was a long time ago. Fact of the matter is he's slashed .190/.267/.365 in 124 games between 2021 and 2022. He is who he is. That is a slightly better than league average catcher unless he starts hitting more. Honestly, I think Twins fans were spoiled with Mauer from 2004-2013, Suzuki in 2014 was an All-Star and was decent in 2015-2016, Castro was ok to slightly below average in 2017-2018 and 2019-2021 had Garver. Heck even before Mauer, Pierzynski was pretty good 2001-2003. That's over 20 years of above average to elite catcher for the most part.

    I mean, he (Jeffers) wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire last year either.

    Well that was a disappointment.

    thats a bummer, but I'm not surprised.

    I find myself more of a Rocco supporter than deterrer(?). Having said all that, I think managers in general get far too much of the blame or credit for a teams success or failure.

    Win some, lose some. I once read or heard somewhere that in nearly every MLB season with every team, you'll win 50 games and you'll lose 50 games, it's what you do with the other 62 that matters. Hopefully this one was one of the 50 losses. New day today! Hope Bundy can get right quick or else he'll start looking like this:

    My God. Have a day Byron Buxton.

    So, the bats up until this afternoon were cold, starting pitching left much to be desired and the bullpen outside of Duffy was quite decent in my opinion. Some thoughts: 1) Please let Buxton get a full season in. I really think he could put up video game numbers. 2) They're taking decent at bats, but c'mon Kirilloff and Sano. I think they start to get some to fall in soon. 3) The change of scenery for Gary Sanchez may do him a world of good. (this has quite the potential to age poorly) 4) Rocco needs to find a way to get Arraez in the lineup every day. Though I realize there were two lefty SP for Seattle in the first three games. 5) Duran is the real deal. 6) May be a unpopular opinion, but not having a named closer, or at least a de facto one will be a good thing. (Duffy's outing notwithstanding) 7) Go Twins

    Hats for bats

    Twins MVP Byron Buxton Twins Top Pitcher Sonny Grey Twins Most Improved Gary Sanchez Twins Top Rookie Joe Ryan Gold Glove Winners Correa, Buxton Silver Slugger Winners Correa Twins Record 86-76 Place in Division 2nd AL Central First White Sox AL Central Second Twins AL Central Third Guardians AL Central Fourth Royals AL Central Fifth Tigers I'll also predict that my optimism is at a very high level and I may be influenced by my opening day rose colored glasses

    I'd say both. Forced to choose, Buxton.

    Sounds like when I tore my ACL. Had no pain, just instability in the leg. Especially moving laterally and twisting. The more medical experts can correct me, but I think you tend to get more pain with a ACL tear when the MCL and meniscus are involved. They call it the Unhappy Triad

    Good career tiny dancer

    I'll echo Baseball > No Baseball. I like the 7 inning double headers when I thought I wouldn't. I'll always be a proponent of the DH in both leagues. Hopefully everything will continue through the next 6 weeks.

    Missed that last night. Although I do think that Bert shtick is tired, he's been apart of my summers for however many years its been. Feel like another part of my childhood is dying.
  18. Puckett34
    If the restructuring is what gets us baseball within 8-10 weeks, I'm for it. I'd prefer this idea over the spring training facilities in Arizona and Florida. Plus I'd think this is a way for MLB to get the DH in both leagues moving forward. Baseball in any capacity > no baseball

    Wasnt he arrested or something right around the time of the induction ceremony? EDIT: Yeah, arrested for assault about a month before the ceremony http://www.startribune.com/knoblauch-charged-with-assault-twins-scrap-hall-of-fame-day/268495992/

    I find his near unanimous of 70 out of 71 voters for the Twins Hall of Fame more controversial than Jeter not being unanimous.

    I think the hold up was the 5th year option. Believe that came later. I think I remember reading that somewhere.

    I originally read this as a suggestion to move him to right field again and my eye started twitching. Glad I re-read that.
  24. Puckett34
    How dare you not address him by his proper name. It's Twins Legend Jaime Garcia. That said, seems to be a decent, albeit incomplete flip.

    I was told there would be no math
