    Ahhh Septemer baseball out of contention. A time to see the young talent play to figure things out and get excited about the future. Like that Matt Belilse kid..... will be interesting to get a first glimpse of his future potential. And that Gimenez prospect....could he be our Ohtani in the rough?! AND unleashing our 'opener' strategy?! Oh be still my heart....THIS IS HOW WE BASEBALL!!!!!
  2. D.C Twins
    On a more serious note.... what exactly is "the opener strategy," other than someone in the front office officially trying waaaaaay to hard and stepping on their....well you know. Rhythm is a huge part of baseball and this completely disrupts the starter for what again? Each time through the order is the same no matter when it is. If you don't have a starter that can go through the order three times, then start them and pull them after two times through (until you find and actual starter that can to replace them). If you want a bullpen game, then do a bullpen game.

    Futility BINGO! I had (in one game): 1. Belisile pitching 2. Gimenez pitching 3. Free Space 4. Field in left Field 5. and Gimenez starting at 1st base sucking up more at bats for youth before pitching What is my TD prize again?! (Seriously, I do think there should be a Futility Bingo Board available at TD) RiverBrian, I vote fore you)

    Lewis out of gas, minor injury, or mechanical problems? Gordon needs some kind of intervention. Whatever the cause of his issues, maybe he should have already been shut down.....like a week or two ago. Playing through whatever the issues are.... has not helped anything over the past nearly 2 months.

    Dear Twins FO, I'm super bored. Any ideas about where I could find better competition? Thanks in advance, Alex

    We need a new metric with a more positive spin for Belisle.... How about DPAR (Draft Position Above Replacement) If we ride Belisle the rest of the season he could be worth a DPAR of 3 if things break right!!!!! Now THAT is advanced metrics!

    Kirby Puckett carried two teams on his back for WS wins both through his play and his intangibles in the club house. I'm not sure there is still a team in Minnesota without those two magical seasons (lest we not forget the contraction risk was all too real a decade-ish later) He could hit ANYTHING at ANYTIME! His at bats were appointment TV (or radio) I cannot tell you how many times a stayed in a parked car to finish listening to a Puckett at bat. Rosario is a a bit of Puckett lite for me....and has that spark to become a special Twin.

    I was guilty of being a big advocate of pushing Gordon up to MLB a month or so ago. But Yikes! Anyone watch these games? I know the company line is that he burns out late in the season, but has he been lost at the plate a la Sano....mechanics problems? Injury? Seems like there must be something else going on than just fatigue alone....
  9. D.C Twins
    Wiel….just....keeps....going......that sample size is getting bigger by the day...at AA...by the way.....yay....oh kaaay?! Good to see a player who is not a top-prospect busting his butt to maximize his skills to become one. He is my favorite twins story of the year so far. I would really enjoy a detailed profile on him in TD (why has been so successful this year.....new swing, more patience, new batting stance, new launch angle, a bat with a lighting bolt etched in it? inquiring minds want to know) I'm sure the TD writers have plenty of free time on their hands to make this happen
  10. D.C Twins
    Wow, just, wow....crappy play, poor effort, AND inexplicable corresponding moves all in the same day?! Once again, be still my beating heart. This team needs to at least pair things down to three or less major glaring errors in judgment on their roster before it is even worth the time to comment. Not sure I see that happening again this year so, uh, peace, love, and happiness to all! (and SKOL Vikings!)
  11. D.C Twins
    E-Twins seem to bring it every year. Kudos to the manager and coaches there. Good Lord is Jefferes making a mockery of that league. I know his is old for the competition but still fun to see!
  12. D.C Twins
    Oh this happened.....the FO signed Belisile and Molitor continues to use him.... So....uh....not only did this happen, it is going to happen again and again before the season is through.

    "I really don’t care about his production however. He dominated at Double-A, and there’s been some questions surrounding his bat ever since he was drafted. Allowing him to get in the field, settle into a new role, and get used to the rigors of big league baseball is a must. The more high-end pitching he faces now, the less of a learning curve there should be expected in the season ahead." YES! THIS! Wonderfully stated and I couldn't agree more. It's been a rough season for many reasons that the FO does not control BUT they control what to do with the current situation. Get the young guys much needed experience.
  14. D.C Twins
    ooops….make that next year's FOURTH PICK.... LET'S STILL DO THIS!
  15. D.C Twins
    Only TWO GAMES OUT of the the 3rd pick in next year's draft! LET'S DO THIS!
  16. D.C Twins
    Grossman batting AND in the field...... oh be still by beating heart!!!!! If only they had him back in the lead off position, we would have had the trifecta! There is always tomorrow though, because with Grossman apparently, there will always be a tomorrow
  17. D.C Twins
    Dear FO, We are worried and confused. If you cannot find a roster spot on a non-playoff contender for Romero, what chance will any of us have ever?! Please clarify or trade us at the earliest possible opportunity. Humbly Yours, The Entire Twins Minor league Pitching Staff (signatures found in supplemental on line material)
  18. D.C Twins
    I give this game a slow---golf----clap.... Good Lord....how many more times must we endure Grossman in the lead off position?! If the FO does not want to release their "Designated Something (TBD)" then please do not embarass the team right out of the gate with him batting lead off.... Advanced Metrics are great, but you still need to be able to see the forest through the trees
  19. D.C Twins
    In honor of the late great Tom Petty, the Twins are free....free fallin'
  20. D.C Twins
    After pouring over advanced metrics, I have come up with a nuanced opinion about Romero's demotion in this lost season...… Booooooooooooooooooooo (Deep breathe) BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (passed out)
  21. D.C Twins
    Also down of the farm: Rortvedt is looking VERY good at a position we desperately need. That is where I have my irrational hope right now so don't burst my bubble (I'm still concerned that there are residual issues with Mauer's latest setback which will eventually come to light. These things don't fully resolve in a couple of weeks. if you live in MN, you should really get out to see him ASAP for the rest of us. We were lucky to have him)
  22. D.C Twins
    It is so ridiculous, it required an different spelling of ridiculous
  23. D.C Twins
    I say again, Romero being sent down is simply rediculous. This team is not going to the WS. Let him figure things out in the MLB.
  24. D.C Twins
    Romero down is simply ridiculous.

    Will Ferrell on SNL "Do you know that this song needs?! More Cowbell!" Paul Molitor with Bullpen: "Do you know that this game need?! More Belisle!"
