    That's where the adage "look fastball, adjust to off speed" comes in, but he's not seen that's easier said than done.

    Agreed. I feel that I'm still paying for it on Hulu since my subscription price didn't drop when they dropped it, so $20/mth is a non-starter for me. I've found other ways to get my Twins fix and I don't watch the NBA or enough Wild games to justify that price.

    Yeah, that price point is a non-starter for me. I'm basically still paying for it on my Hulu subscription since it never went down when they dropped it. I've been surviving just fine without it, so $20/month isn't something I'm even going to consider.

    Congratulations to Dusty Baker on his 2,000th win as a manager!

    Quite the milestone!

    Nothing like a good natured ribbing! This is supposed to be fun, after all. Good call on the pitching being less worrisome that many, myself included, figured they'd be by the way. I still have my concerns, but I do have more confidence in the pipeline with the way the prospects have performed thus far. Ryan has been a difference maker in my opinion as well. I expected good things out of him, but he's exceeded that in my opinion. Hopefully that keeps up as teams adjust to him. Winder's one start was inspiring. I'd like to see Sands more after his rough debut, but I'll give him a pass on that for now. I expected Kirilloff to step up, which can still happen if he's able to get back, but Larnach and Jeffers have been good at the plate recently. The FO bet that Jeffers would perform and in this small sample, they've been vindicated in my view. Much remains to be seen through the remainder of the season though. But there's plenty of reason for optimism.

    I basically had them a few games below .500 for similar reasons. I remain concerned about the overall pitching depth, but the young guys that have stepped up have given me more confidence in them. And this division...woof...

    From what I've heard and read, he hurt it during the celebration following his walk-off single against the Tigers. Though, I suppose that doesn't mean that it wasn't bothering him before. He could have made it worse at that time.

    I was on the low end of the original poll, so I'm curious if others like me have adjusted expectations and why. I also wonder how many in the upper win total predictions have changed their minds one way or another.
  10. wsnydes
    I've created a new poll asking the same question now that we've had some time to see what the team looks like. Check it out and let TD know if you've changed your outlook and why!

    I had them pegged at no better than 79 wins. I'm now at 90+ through 24 games, which really isn't a lot. But two things have become apparent. The starting pitching has been much more solid than I had anticipated, the bullpen has actually done a pretty decent job, and the division is much worse than I figured that it would be. The obvious disclaimer that I keep hinting at is that we're only 24 games in. There is still plenty of time for injuries to really take their toll on the pitching, but even the holes that have crept up have been filled pretty well. There is also still plenty of time for the White Sox to quit suffering from a Twins 2021-esque season and really make a run.

    The calendar has turned to May, @Vanimal46 is calling me out, and the Twins are winning. What more could be asked for? So, now the team is 24 games into the season and have a 4 game lead in the division. How has your outlook on wins changed, if at all? This is a follow-up poll from one conducted just before the season started. If you posted there, I'm interested to see if you changed your mind, and why.
  13. wsnydes
    Ha! Still plenty of time to mess things up, but they should exceed that now. I'm happy to admit that at this point, I appear to have been wrong.
  14. wsnydes
    All you have to do is keep leverage away from Duffey and he does just fine.
  15. wsnydes
    Bake well!
  16. wsnydes
    I tried a different approach and asked for it upfront instead of complaining about it after the fact.
  17. wsnydes
    Make it two...
  18. wsnydes
    Yes. But we don't know what that is.

    Ok, can they NOT give those right back, please?!?!
  21. wsnydes
    That'll happen. Not going to have it every night. He did a pretty decent job of minimizing the damage though.
  22. wsnydes
    Ya know, is it too much to ask to show some ruthlessness and not give the run back right away? Can they at least wait an inning?
  23. wsnydes
    Agreed. Despite his struggles at the plate, he's got 13 RBI. I believe that leads the team.
  24. wsnydes
    Jorge to the rescue.
  25. wsnydes
    Damn, a counter breakthrough!
