    Radio silence, DVR, Twins bubble.

    Thanks! I do not get the negativity, sorry but it's just ridiculous. 36 wins c'mon get over it. To be honest I do not like the mindset. What is the value of the thought process? Remember worry is a debt paid on a purchase not yet made. I came to this page wanting to celebrate a second consecutive division title. SMH. Anyway thanks again TBTB for trying to lighten this **** up.

    In the past a Twins transaction would invariably leave me shaking my head; while i continued to follow the team with chagrin. We'll that shake has become a happy nod. Maybe a shake with some Baldelli in game decisions... but let's face it is easy to second guess that stuff in hindsight. Let's go!

    Another stellar recap got me thinking, is the definition of a "quality start" going to shift along with all the other changing dynamics?

    I don't understand the dominant thinking here. People have complained that this season would be meaningless because of its strange nature yet they want to avoid the Yankees in the playoffs. I heartily disagree. If you want to be the best you have to beat the best. Plain and simple. Any post season success this year would only be that much sweeter if it included taking them down. If they beat us again well then it's just not our year and I'll be back here next year hoping for another chance.

    Lookit I hate/fear the Yanks. If you have any interest in breaking the curse you couldn't ask for anything better than 3 games, Maeda, Berrios, Pineda, Bomba Squad and Target Field. LET'S RIP THE FREAKING BANDAID OFF NOW!!!!! YYEEEEAAAHHHHHHH!
  7. wabene
    Yes and with Rooker down Jeffers righty bat will come in handy

    If we gotta face the Yanks 3 games at target field would be pretty sweet. Kenta's era would look even better if the bullpen would have stranded a couple.

    I also thought the first round would be at home. If so and it's the Yankees, then we would play them without playing at Yankee stadium. Sounds fair to me

    Tough break! Rooker looked good, calm and comfortable at the plate. That righty bat was super valuable on this team. Gotta think Jeffers is a post season lock given his performance and the righty bat.

    I'm with you Travis has been rated a step below the other two and some see him as a utility guy going forward. He's on the 40 man and the time is now to see what you have.

    I'd go with Blankenhorn. Look at Rooker and Jeffers. They both look good and this is great for their development. Those right-handed bats were just what was needed. The production we've gotten has been bad and this could be another spark. If he struggles it won't be any worse.

    Excited to see where Hill is today. The top three are set and look great, Maeda, Pineda and Berrios. Very nice and quite the improvement from last year. Maeda is driven and wants to be relied upon as a top starter. The Twins will keep him happy by keeping him in the rotation. Hill, on the other hand, could be quite valuable in a hybrid role of shorter outings in the short series. Now who steps forward in the next couple of weeks to be the 4th guy when we need it later? Odo, Hill? Dobs doesn't have my confidence as a playoff starter but my also be useful for shorter outings.

    Must be a typo in those earlier comments because when these two teams get together it's clear the Twins are the better team. Maeda just hammers the point home. Tonight it was Buxton and Jeffers tomorrow who's next Donaldson, Cruz, Sano, Polanco?
  15. wabene
    That was fun thanks!
  16. wabene
    Duran, Duran that's all anybody wants to talk about

    Roger's first few outings were totally dominant and efficient. I remember one he only need 5 pitches. So he did start out sharp, very sharp. I lean towards some bad luck and i would keep rotating roles and get him some good matchups in the near future then go from there.
  18. wabene
    That was a super fun game to watch! A little bit of everything, Dobbs, the squeeze,Gonzo, bare handed double, Kepler turning on that inside ball as was called by Smalley, Rogers in the 8th which I like and then the toreador spinning em! Sign me up.

    Styles make fights. There are unexpected results in all sports, hence we tune in. The best part is the season series is not over my friend.
  20. wabene
    Pineda’s eventual role will be determined by the performance and health of the rest of the rotation. He was our best starter at times last season so he could slot anywhere from long relief to game one starter.
  21. wabene
    You could use Alcala, Clippard, May, Duffey and or Romo tomorrow no probs. See that's not so bad, start another win streak Baldelli.
  22. wabene
    Why? We're not even rivals.
  23. wabene
    After feeling a little demoralized by Mr Bieber this is just unbelievable. The depth this regime has established is like nothing any Twins team has ever had. I sure hope this year continues but even if not fun time are ahead for the squad. The FO leadership will have to look hard for detractors.
  24. wabene
    This is true but at the same age Buxton was 30-40 lbs lighter. This guy has more power and maybe being thicker has more durability.

    Dobnak: John Denver and white sunglasses...SMH. The man needs a makeover.
