    At the age of around 30 having played fastpitch softball since high school, I took a rise ball in the face one night while guarding the dish with two outs, runners on, and a 3-2 count. I was never the same after that, washed up, and heading for the bench after anything thrown inside or even remotely at my head. 'course, I'd never been better than a .250 hitter in anybody's league before that and had been playing ball since fifth grade.

    I've been watching baseball since the '40s and I've never seen a better play.
  3. Fritzderkat
    I'm all for Sonny, tune in just to watch him pitch.
  4. Fritzderkat
    The Twins have done fine without him, Taylor and Castro in particular. It is painful to watch Buxton bat.
  5. Fritzderkat
    Very disappointing. Also very typical. Regardless of whatever "upside" may fleetingly occur, this team cannot be taken seriously
  6. Fritzderkat
    The comparison with Mickey Mantle does Buxton no favors.

    Money no object, but this o Money no object, but this one's got it.

    I regretted the trade when it was made and continue to regret it now. It's hard to root for the Twins.

    After following the Twins with dispassion for 20 years, I am now finding the best reason I hung in there so long was Luis Arraez. As of this morning, with Miami, he's hitting .444.

    Talk about timing, why is it that what's happened to Lopez the day after signing the savior's contract seems to say everything you might ever need to know about what's wrong with the Twins?
  11. Fritzderkat
    SOS--same old stuff. Uninspiring, tiresome in fact. Signing Benintendi might have made some sense.
  12. Fritzderkat
    Good on ya, Luis. It's a pleasure watching you play.
  13. Fritzderkat
    I"ve been following this team for 20 years, and essentially it's the same old story. I'm tired of it.
  14. Fritzderkat
    I'm for Urshela, have said so before. Impressed with the way Bunny hangs in there, too.
  15. Fritzderkat
    On the whole of it, I wouldn't mind having Urshela on my ball club.
  16. Fritzderkat
    Unfortunately for the oft-injured Buxton, he was half of the Buxton-Sano Promise that for years served to maintain optimism in this franchise's registered hope, present and future, and it would appear that this has failed.
  17. Fritzderkat
    I believe I have expressed the same sentiments recently. Were I to go back over the years, I may well have said the same things before. It is these Twins' legacy.
  18. Fritzderkat
    I admire Archer for hanging in there, and I like the way he goes about his business.
  19. Fritzderkat
    Seems to me there's always a great deal of flux in Twins pitching, and significant is how may times they pick somebody up to fill here or there but in short order they have a sustained injury problem. How true is this of major league pitching in general. (I can't keep track).
  20. Fritzderkat
    Is this question rhetorical or merely a joke? When in their history have the Twins had too much starting pitching? When was it last when they had four starters who were consistent and capable, let along a couple more who in a pinch they could pop in to fill a hole?
  21. Fritzderkat
    Shocked and amazed Iyam. Never in 20 years of following this club have I seen what, on paper, looks like a brilliant trade. If this pans out, all else being equal, the Twins now actually have a decent, daresay legitimate chance to beat somebody.
  22. Fritzderkat
    Hul-lo? Ranking 7th in ERA for this team ain't exactly chopped liver. And With Maida out, nobody was expecting much, even in picking up Sonny Gray.
  23. Fritzderkat
    The bullpen as the fatal flaw. Starting with the Rogers trade.
  24. Fritzderkat
    Nobody appreciates a decent catcher until they don't have one. There are few you'll find who can play good defense as well as hit. I think Jadi Molina.
  25. Fritzderkat
    In his own contribution during one of those stretches when the Twins are going through a prolonged pitching flux, Archer has been about as important to the staff as Devin Smeltzer.
