    I hate to pile on the ump here, but sweet lord these calls are horrible. Also, waiting for Marwin to hit is getting a bit old. We'll be seeing Astudillo tomorrow without question.

    Yeah I lived in Madison for a few years when Miller Park opened, went a plenty of games with my buddies. I recall those humid rain games you mentioned. Roof leaked, too! Steam room. Zero character. Also, when they close those "slats" out there beyond center field the ambiance just falls flat. It's like you're in an arena football stadium or something. I was so happy when the Twins just went with the open roof concept.

    Huge DP there, nice work fellas. Let's tie this one off quick.

    Schoop with a nice 2-bagger there. Let's get 'em over, and then get 'em in. Execute.

    Retractable roofs: I've been to Miller Park in Milwaukee a few times. Every time I've gone to a game it's closed - if there's even a hint of overcast weather, maybe it's a little hot outside, or windy, etc. The only time they open the roof is is literally if it's 75 and clear skies. It's a terrible fan experience when it's closed too, feels like you're inside a tuna can (smell included). If you look at Houston and Miami, those roofs are rarely open either. Miami in particular seems to open the roof about once per year for opening day.

    Attaboy Garvsauce! Hustle infield single...Twins have a few of those already this series.

    Ain't that the truth.

    I think there's some grand misconception about May, and I'm not sure where it got started. He's never been super efficient or effective for a long stretch of time. He's got a career ERA of about 5.00. There's nothing "not right" about May at this point - this is just who he is, I think. Not saying he's bad - he can strike guys out with the best of 'em and when he's on, he's very useful. But at this point if you get 1-2 outs from him, maybe get him out of the game before he inevitably blows up. That's why Parker, Hildy, and Rogers are getting the 9th innings. May was in that discussion in Spring Training but he's clearly behind those guys on the depth charts.

    The egg the Twins laid against Toronto seems like a million years ago right now. This team is 13-7, 1.5 games ahead in the division. 8-3 on the road 5-4 at home

    If the Twins keep playing well, and Buxton continues to hit .275 in the 9 hole, I see no reason to move him. I like what others have said: don't rush this guy. Don't put the spotlight on him. Let him hang out at the bottom of the lineup, see pitches, just let 'em be. As others have also said, I agree that maybe batting him ahead of Castro would be the only flip I'd make. So maybe up him to the 8 spot or something by July. But in the meantime just leave the kid alone. Now...if the Twins take a huge nosedive in the standings, Kepler goes down with an injury, now you start thinking about putting Buxton there out of necessity. But unless a need presents itself, don't touch Buxton right now. Just my opinion.

    Great win. Harper was going to get touched up at some point - he's not a "high leverage" guy and this is exactly why. I guess what I'm saying is, it'd bother me a lot more if we lost. Nice to have a game where the Twins could use both Mejia and Harper and get some other guys some rest - against the Astros, no less! That defensive play by Rosario/Schoop was huge. Rosie and Polanco are playing just great and this team is fun to watch right now. Let's go steal one tonight! So you're proposing something more like...this? Gotta keep those hip happenin' kids interested: http://i66.tinypic.com/eb9252.jpg

    Lucky for the Twins, I hear they've got a 3rd baseman who can hit! But yeah, those numbers are awful so far....

    Nice win over Houston boys!

    Altuve trying to get cute there. Nice job Park.
  20. bighat
    I have Polanco on my fantasy team. On the bench, unfortunately. Last time I make that mistake.
  21. bighat
    Jorge is the man today! And most other days, too!

    Buxton's streak comes to an end. As long as the Twins win streak continues, we'll live with that. Great throw, absolutely perfectly executed by the catcher.
  23. bighat
    Electronic strike zone. Now, already.
  24. bighat
    Yeah I'm on board. The Cron signing looks good. Cruz signing looks great. The Schoop signing looks good. The Gonzalez signing...still up in the air but I think he'll come around. After last year's bombs, it's nice to see this year's signings have been a complete 180 and are really contributing!

    Woah woah woah - who whizzed in your Easter Ham, guys? Twins are 12-7. First place. Buxton's hitting. Polanco's hitting. Garver's hitting. Cruz is launching moonshots. Scoop is looking like the 2017 All-Star again. Rosario is absolutely on fire. Astudillo's hitting....did I mention BUXTON is hitting!?!?! Just imagine when Sano gets back. Where do you bat him? 5th behind Cruz? That's borderline scary. And think about when Gonzalez starts hitting. No more snow-outs, no more 30-degree games. The talent is here folks. Down year in the division. Twins could take the Central and avoid the dreaded wildcard. This team could be very, very good. Will the Twins realize that talent? That's the question. But this is the most dangerous Twins team I've seen in a long time. They just have to execute.
