  1. Eddie! Twins making nice contact this inning.
  2. Buxton looking good with the Ribby!
  3. Woah 2nd base ump! That sucks!
  4. I'm more bugged sitting and waiting for Gonzalez to start putting together good ABs. The guy's been awful so far this year, no way around it.
  5. They didn't. End of story. Looks like Astudillo's riding the pine today. No shocker there, he's had too many GIDP lately. Here's hoping Pineda keeps his good start rolling.
  6. It appears to be 35 degrees. That's madness. Any Minneapolitans or St. Paulites care to give us an update on how it's looking and feeling out there?
  7. My take on this interview (and most of Buxton's interviews over the winter/spring): He's done worrying about what other people think. To be honest, I think that's good for him. He's always been at his best when he's doing his own thing. We've seen what happens when he overthinks and gets overcoached. Not good. I'm all in with the "new Buxton". It doesn't bother me that he's playing reckless out there, as long as he's hitting .280 and putting the ball in play. He was (and possibly still is) in danger of completely flaming out of the league and becoming one of the biggest busts in history. Let the man do his own thing, it can't hurt.
  8. Came here to post this link. It looks like nothing has changed, Kimbrel isn't budging, and we can put any hope of the Twins signing him to bed for good.
  9. I have some good memories there too! Went to Game 1 and Game 7 of the 1991 World Series in the Metrodome. Went to the Final Four there as well. Also went to the first ever T'Wolves victory (vs. Philly or Golden State, if memory serves) at the dome. Waited for Frank Viola outside after a game and got an autograph. I lived in town so I'd actually bike down to the dome for day games in the summer, lock it up near Hubert's, and bike back home with my buddies after the game! It was a different era.... All that said I'm glad the dome is gone. I'll take Target Field in a heartbeat, rainouts, snow-outs, and all. It's a far superior experience for fans, players, and I think it's a plus for signing free agents.
  10. The NBA is so incredibly awful these days, it's worse than Disney on Ice. It's the new Chuck E Cheese:a place to host your 10 year old's birthday party. It's not for adults and that's by design. They've gone all in on the entertainment angle and it's just ruined the league for true sports fans IMO.
  11. Tomorrow's game PPD already it appears. Looks like we'll have to wait until Saturday to redeem ourselves.
  12. I'll agree he was not so great last night. But he's had 5 other appearances and has been perfect. So you're willing to just give up on Hildy because of one bad outing? That's just so shortsighted, man.
  13. Hildy just walked one guy last night, otherwise has been solid. No need to blow everything up after 10 games. We're 6-4 man.
  14. I agree, you just have to roll the dice with Romero. He's off to a decent start, just give him a chance. There's a high ceiling and he honestly can't be worse than what's happened already.
  15. The Twins seem to prefer to just going with what they have, and then hoping for improvement. It seems they're content with finishing with around a .500 record and feel that their current roster is sufficient to meet that goal. Odorizzi...didn't he have just a dynamite start in the second game of the season? What happened to that guy?
  16. Strange Rocco didn't at least have Cruz in the on deck circle to get Diaz nervous. Is Rocco paying attention?
  17. Garver is such a beast right now.
  18. The Twins really needed him to elevate a sac fly right there. He seems to be just pounding balls into the ground and that's not a good thing for him. I'm guessing he grabs some bench at least the next 2 games.
  19. Shine coming off Astudillo a little bit here in NY. He's been grounding out to 3rd base on the regular right about now.
  20. Anyone think the Mets bring in an untested reliever who just arrived on the AAA shuttle right now with the bases loaded? Ok A-Stud, let's hit one where they ain't.
  21. Morneau just mentioned it: Those 3 runs Perez gave up last inning now loom large. Attaboy Cave.
  22. Agree. Story of the game was the embarrassing-but-can't-look-away catastrophic implosion from the Twins pitchers. Hey, Twins should be able to climb at least within 5 by the time the 9th rolls around.
  23. Buxton triple sighting!
  24. On the Twins' 40 man: Duffey Gonsalves Littell Romero K. Stewart Thorpe We've also got: Magill (IL) Moya (IL) Reed (IL) I think at this point you have to go Duffey or Romero and just roll the dice. It can't get any worse. Of course Kimbrel would be nice also.
