    La Tortu-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-g-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!!!! A perfect superhero to win a long pennant race! He needs to play everyday. I totally respect the front office forward thinking....but don't overthink this one.

    Reckless AND Aggressive But let Buck be Buck (abbreviation of BBB for all future posts because I suspect this topic will come up...often)... For better or worse his principle value will likely always be his elite defense which is predicated on his aggressiveness. We've just got to ride the wave on this one, knowing it can (and will) crash at some point. P.S but have a very clear back up plan in CF, which we do in Kepler and Cave P.P.S and no I don't think he is going to have a 10-15 year career of 140-160 games. But boy will be fun to watch until the wheels fall off

    Astudillo!!!!! Astudillo!!!! Astudillo!!!! I have not been as fired up about a Twins player since Kirby Puckett who also played with A LOT of passion and could hit ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. Yes im not an expert, but ill continue to play one on message boards, and yes this is a small sample size, but the eye test says we have something special here! DAMN HE IS FUN TO WATCH

    Berrios becoming a legit ACE would be a game changer, because then we could actually have a chance to be relevant in he playoffs if we make it. So excited....so hopeful

    If you think my skepticsm is revisionist history, check my post a week ago when I said he'd be out at least a month and likely longer when they were peddling the story about being back in a few days.

    This episode adds to a now extensive body of evidence that at very least, Sano has terrible judgement which is a huge problem in and of itself. As for this story: The chances that we are getting a full and accurate story: None. The number of you that would wager any significant amount of money that we are receiving an accurate story: none If you don't believe me, feel free to slip down any stairs of your choosing barefoot or not 1,000 times and see if you can manage a cut that required 12 STITCHES (that is a lot). Now a cut from broken glass celebrating barefoot at another location? Yes that would make sense

    Speculation alert (but feeling pretty confident about said speculation) 1. This injury has always been a much bigger deal than initially reported because of the location (as stated earlier) 2. The lack of a clear and consistent "story" (when Sano himself could have already provided a detailed account about how it happened on the record if it was so innocent and simple) and the delay in adequate care all strongly suggest that Sano and his people are less than excited about getting into details surrounding the accident. The Twins organization, who was caught off guard by the whole debacle, would also very much like to gloss over the situation. 3. This is yet another chapter in the increasingly frustrating narrative of Sano. (I would officially be shorting the market on him going forward at this point) 4. He will not be on the opening day 25 man and there is a good possibility that he will miss at least a month--if not more--- of the regular season.

    After further thought... I think they should shoot for the MLB in the bullpen in the near future. I think we waste too much some pitchers arms in the MiLB. The future is not promised. Why not have the MLB pitching coaches hone his change up while he helps the team as a shut down reliever?
  9. D.C Twins
    He is 20 years old. You can teach a change up (over a few years in fact and... if needed... perhaps in the show when he is effectively shortening games). I'm not sure that you can teach a 100 mph fastball or a 89 mph slider with a tight spin. Totally in on... and fired up for.... GAS-ER-OL,...

    "Control has been an issue for Gonsalves all along, and his wildness came to roost in Minnesota, where he issued 22 walks in 24 2/3 innings of work. In Triple-A his 13.4% BB-rate was the highest out of 35 pitchers to throw 100+ innings. When Gonsalves is outside of the zone, he doesn't really get people to chase, and when he's in the zone he doesn't really get people to miss." This. All of This. More of This. And, uh....This.

    Every time I see a picture or video of him, my desire to have him on the MLB team next year increases exponentially....or....irrationally....or both
  12. D.C Twins
    Thanks for the list Nick I gave you a hard time about your placement of Sano. But for the record, it was you I followed to TD
  13. D.C Twins
    Agree with all. Clemens and Bonds simply can never be let in. Yes, others likely got into the HOF having taken some PEDs (and yes, gulp, my childhood hero Kirby Puckett could very well have been one of them for reasons that I wish to ignore) But they were caught and there need to be consequences, because it's not like they will every have to give any of their 100s of millions of dollars back.
  14. D.C Twins
    Check that....after watching it a couple more minutes its up to the funniest this month and climbing.....just soooo many nuances to appreciate
  15. D.C Twins
    This made me laugh harder than I have all week. OUTSTANDING!
  16. D.C Twins
    Actually a big Garver fan....and beyond frustrated with Sano....but alas... Sano is clearly still a MUCH more significant asset based on his "value to the franchise's current path and vision" Unless the "fanchise's current path and vision" does not include trying to win the WS. Come on man?!
  17. D.C Twins
    YES! YES! YES! (says the horse looking behind him for the missing cart)
  18. D.C Twins
    Dear Twins, I give Wilson Ramos a hard pass. I think your time will be better served by overpaying for a reliever with horrible sabermetrics that would pass my eye test. Call me if you are interested in any of my other recommendations. You can find me on my couch. Love Always, Bill Smith

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ….. eh uh....Torreyes?!….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….ah huh....Schoop?!……..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….agh, eh...….Cron?!….. I said wake me up when we do anything of consequence! How many Yankee entrails does that make in the last 2 years? We should rename our team the Minnesota Yankee Pilot Fishes

    Always a class act in every sense of the word, especially how he dealt with adversity over his contract after his quality of play was so clearly marginalized by injury. I suspect 15 year's worth of opposing players would back this statement. Having said that, make no mistake, he earned EVERY penny of the combined contracts over his career.... far less early and too much late. I suspect that the vast majority of MLB players would not have been able to be as productive for as long with post concussive symptoms (would have been out of baseball in less than 2 years) We were more lucky to have him than him us. Did I say 'were'? I meant 'are' so lucky to have him, because he will be a wonderful ambassador for the team in some capacity for decades to come.
  21. D.C Twins
    Thank you Joe Mauer. A consummate professional and generational catcher. What a treat to have a home town boy spend his entire career on the hometown professional team. Make no mistake about it. He earned EVERY PENNY he received for his play alone. Too little early and too much late. And that does not even account for how many tickets he sold. He was not a natural born leader, but remember, few people are. He never tired to be someone that he wasn't. I'm in the minority that thinks he'll get to the HOF eventually. His prime catcher years were singular in baseball history. Also, as we learn more and more about brain injury over the next decade, his accomplishments will also be better appreciated. Enjoy retirement Joe!!!!

    If someone came back in time to present the title of the article to you in April, you would automatically know that the season was going to go to S---
  23. D.C Twins
    The Gimenez Paradox: Gimenez on the roster to provide 'veteran leadership', but his presence on the roster is the strongest sign that the Twins can't be lead anywhere other than a losing season!
  24. D.C Twins
    ...I pulled the reverse Rick Perry
  25. D.C Twins
    The negatives are obvious and plentiful (and inexplicable). I would like to point out two good things the FO has done IMHO 1. The Draft: They are 2 for 2 no doubt 2. They are rolling out Stewart multiple times to make very sure they know what to do with him this off season. 3. They are giving Gonslaves and extended look which will prove to him how much he needs to work on his control (ie not enough players in the bigs are going to chase his nibbling)
