  1. The Twins signed Cano out of Cuba at age 25 and traded him at age 28. He hadn't had a chance to pitch much due to Covid et. al., but his 2021 and 2022 minor league seasons look pretty good, especially 2022, but he never got called up. The big difference I can see is his control this year. Maybe there wasn't any unlocking to do and he just needed to trust his stuff and throw strikes. It happens.
  2. Noted but, Castro and Solano are playing pretty good I think. Now if we can just get some offense from Kepler, Correa, and Buxton life as a Twins fan would be much more enjoyable.
  3. Whorff getting the win for Fort Myers. Good to see his years at Star Fleet haven't diminished his pitching skills.
  4. I read all the posts up to here before I watched it and I'm not sure we all watched the same video. I don't think he was throwing anybody specific under the bus or even ranting or looking for attention, just giving his point of view. When you hire a minor league manager to do you want him to develop your players as he sees best or just follow the dictates of the front office? Granted the right answer is a plan that involves both but you have to trust your minor managers as they pursue getting the young players ready for the next level. Oh, and if they won't I will. Thank you Doug Mientkiewicz for your work in the Twin's minor league system. Side note: Minky was part of one of the weirdest baseball trades July 31, 2004. I'll let you check it out (BB Ref is good) and see if you can wrap your head around it. Also, Willi Castro and Caleb Thielbar played for Minky at Toledo 2018-19.
  5. These winning-by-1-run games are crucial. We're playing like gamers. Wait. What?
  6. Makes me feel I know things they don't. 🙂
  7. Yep, Stewart cleans up another mid-game mess, just like we all predicted in spring training.
  8. Stewart in. A groundball DP would be nice right now.
  9. I'm sorry, Kirby was NEVER that slim. Well, age 12 maybe. But a Kirby Bobblehead is cool at any size.
  10. Yeah, Vazquez runs like he's going the wrong way on one of those airport people movers.
  11. And I like that it was against the I n d i a n s Guardians. Stomp em while we can.
  12. This is his age 21 season with a total of 154 pro games played. his career stat line reads like an Adam Brett Walker season. Definitely a player worth keeping an eye on, especially if he gets control of the whiff machine.
  13. Imagine how Mets or Padres fans feel so far after those teams spent bazillions.
  14. From the game thread: 4 hours ago, CRF said: Oh no...bases loaded! Yikes! 3 hours ago, OvertheHill said: I hope we’re not getting Pagan’d - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I think this pretty much sums up the game.
  15. I think this pretty much sums up the game.
  16. Hopefully the last time we see Pagan in a Twins uniform.
