    Maybe the team that collapsed last year is who they really are. The start of this season looks pretty similar to last September.

    Here’s a guy that has improved since leaving the Twins - Miguel Sano. I think this has more to do with him working hard to get in shape so he could get back to the big leagues. I thought he was done and had no chance again to play, but I guess I was wrong. He is now hitting cleanup for the Angels. He was 3 for 4 yesterday with his first home run and a double as the DH. Today he played 3rd base and went 1 for 3 to raise his average to .300 and OPS to .810. I used to think he only got a hit when the pitcher hit his bat. It’s still early but it looks like he might have figured something out. Maybe being out of baseball motivated him to improve, but it’s still hard for me to believe. Anyway, good for him and I’m glad he is doing well.

    I thought of the Laudner to Gaetti play too. Two great plays to help win both series.

    I think #6 looks the best too. Being I am helping you spend your money, do you have room for a picture or two? My dad had an 8x10 autographed photo of Mickey Mantle. Not being a Yankee fan, I found online an autographed 8x10 of Harmon to go with Mantle. I think it was about $75. They look pretty good together. Just another rabbit hole to go down to add a little extra to your room.

    I think it’s helps that they play in the AL East. Not much hate left after the Yankees and Red Sox take their share. They used to be the underdogs who often beat up on the Yankees.

    No, Miguel Sano is my Dad’s least favorite player.

    There isn’t room for all of them, but here are a few. I thought Gary Sanchez would hit better after his change of scenery. I am wrong every morning and night when I check MLB trade rumors and expect to read about a move the Twins made to better the team. I thought the Twins would extend Gio and have him long term. I thought Kepler would figure things out and get some opposite field hits. Baseball is a humbling sport, even for armchair general managers.

    My Paul Wellstone story happened at the State Fair. We liked to take our kids around to meet politicians, to shake hands and say hello. We saw Senator Wellstone was there and got in line to meet him. We arrived a little early and only had about third of a block line of people to wait for. The line grew long behind us. We got up to him pretty quickly and he cordially greeted us. I had a question for him about the BWCA and the conflict then with motors and motorized portages. Then something amazing happened. He started explaining at length the background, the current problem, and his position. This took several minutes. As the line grew far longer, his aides were trying to hurry him but he didn’t listen. He stopped only when he had completed his explanation. It was a fun and memorable experience for my whole family.

    I can’t watch tonight but checking on Gameday, Mahle looks like he has lost his velocity again. Is this true?
  10. Wyotwinsfan
    Now Lopez is pitching in the 7th. Who is going to pitch in the 9th if, and it’s a big if, a really big if, the Twins take the lead?
  11. Wyotwinsfan
    In his last at bat yesterday that ended the game, he looked like he would rather be anywhere else than in the batter’s box. It’s sad, for both him and the team, that he is struggling at the plate.
  12. Wyotwinsfan
    Snell went 3.2 innings last night in Denver. He walked 6, struck out 5 and gave up 5 runs. So his last outing doesn’t look good altogether Colorado is a tough place to pitch.
  13. Wyotwinsfan
    You are so right and he makes it look easy.
  14. Wyotwinsfan
    That’s too bad for Taylor. I think he has pitched in a lot of games. As of right now, it looks like neither team won that deal.
  15. Wyotwinsfan
    They could also use Lenny Faedo.
  16. Wyotwinsfan
    Yes great job by Watkins and Kepler. Great catch by Buxton. But wow our shortstop has an arm. Great throw by Correa to finish the game.
  17. Wyotwinsfan
    I am concerned that Buxton is playing hurt. He doesn’t look right at the plate. The ball he missed in right center was a tough play but one I expected him to make. Not every center fielder would catch that ball, but he’s not every center fielder.
  18. Wyotwinsfan
    Just like that the Twins are in 2nd place! I know it’s early, but it beats being in last place early in the season. It’s also so fun to watch Buxton laughing and having fun.
  19. Wyotwinsfan
    I’m happy with the new shortstop. I don’t think they are finished with the roster and will add some pitching. It’s fun to read Yankee fans comments on MLB Trade Rumors about the Twins signing Correa. Quite a few are really cranky about who they got so the Twins could end up with our shortstop. I also read that Rortvedt has an oblique strain and is out for awhile.
  20. Wyotwinsfan
    Big news and big surprise!! Better shortstop than Story. I guess they spent the Donaldson money. Nice!
  21. Wyotwinsfan
    Very frustrating. They are not trying to get better yet they traded last year’s first round draft choice. And Trevor’s Story wants to be on the Twins because…?
  22. Wyotwinsfan
    I have never been a real fan of this front office but I like what they are doing so far. I think they have a plan and we need to give them a few days to work it out. I think the Donaldson move is freeing up money to spend on a shortstop. Great shortstops are hard to come by, and if Story is healthy he can be great. They still need to add some pitching to make this successful, but these moves might be coming. I hope I am right, otherwise it’s going to be another rough season that is pretty much over by May.
  23. Wyotwinsfan
    Would someone explain to me why I keep watching these guys?!
  24. Wyotwinsfan
    It’s hard to limit the number to 5. I liked Mike’s selections. Donaldson and Cruz have not been good. Kepler looks lost at the plate. Sano looked a little better after trying to change his swing, but it seems like he reverts back to the same big loopy swing most of the time. I think sometimes the pitchers throw the ball where he swings and hit his bat. But then, I can’t bring myself to watch every game. They aren’t much fun to watch. Nobody seems like they are having much fun, even when they win.

    Just saw the Twins are going to sign Caleb Thielbar. He was probably easy to sign but not exactly the ace I was hoping for.
