  1. The Berrios/Burnes matchup on Saturday night might have been the pitching duel of the year. Haven't seen 2 starters go toe-to-toe with no-hitters through 6 like that in a long time (there probably are a few but I haven't seen them). It made watching every pitch really fun. Great game.
  2. the Duke of Albuquerque will once again slay the mighty fire-breathing mound dragons.
  3. First pitch of his 1st major league at-bat and Akil Baddoo goes opposite field homerun for the Detroit Tigers. Welcome to the big leagues kid. Congratulations! Baddoo went unprotected by the Twins and Detroit selected him in the Rule 5 draft. Few thought he would make the roster because of his limited professional experience, but make the roster he did and punctuated his arrival in his first at-bat.
  4. I hear Mars is all the rage now.
  5. Max Kepler you sandbagger you. Got us all freaked out in spring training then matches ST output in the 1st game. Now let's get back to catching the ball, shall we?
  6. Garlick set the Cal Poly Pomona single-season homerun record with 17 jacks in 2015, was drafted by the Dodgers, then batted .349 across 2 Single-A leagues that same year. In 2016 he was named to the California League Mid-Season All-Star team before being promoted to AA. In 2017 he was named to the Texas League Mid-Season All-Star Team but then injured his hand. Garlick debuted with the Dodgers in May, 2019. At age 29 he's not really a prospect anymore, but Kyle Garlick is not just LF meat. If he can do some mashing on left-handed pitching and keep his defensive routes and throws on track he should be able to help the Twins.
  7. Twins go 1-21 in 7 innings against the Pirates today, a lead off single by Arraez in the 1st. The Bumba Squad.
  8. "In this clip, a dead man pretends to be alive in order to avoid "the cart"". Sounds like the final cuts of spring training.
  9. If the spring training offense were a character in the original Star Trek series, one line would describe it. "He's dead, Jim"
  10. My condolences to a great baseball family.
  11. unfortunately, a foreign substance on the ball for Max Kepler would be the bat.
  12. We used to go to Metropolitan stadium when the Angels were in town just to get behind home plate when Nolan Ryan was pumping fastballs. The sound of the ball hitting the catcher's mitt was like no other pitcher. The ball would go "zip", "pop", and dust would fly out of the catcher's mitt. Awesome.
  13. Boom Stick has to be the most appropriate nickname . . . evah.
  14. I guess the ramp up to offensive juggernaut has a long lead time ... ahem.
  15. Thats called a salad, mate.
  16. A right -handed Jim Kaat?
  17. Thanks Tom, nice job as always. Thorpe looking very determined. Canterino looking nasty. Broxton making a statement.
  18. I'd pick Hamilton over Anderson for possible bullpen role. Consideration: If Anderson learns to command his stuff better, he could be a beast.
