    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?

    That was fun thanks!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    You could use Alcala, Clippard, May, Duffey and or Romo tomorrow no probs. See that's not so bad, start another win streak Baldelli.

    Why? We're not even rivals.

    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.

    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.

    I like how when pressed to share what he may be discouraged with, Seth managed some praise and more positivity towards the White Sox.

    I'm going Celestino again! Somebody said he was major league ready in the field. If so we know his bat is not ready but we don't know if he will get hot anyway. Let Kepler only play center part time and put in Celestino here and there, voila! We got a big enough bench
  16. wabene
    I am hoping we see a little of Celestino. Maybe his bat is not quite there yet but it could speed things for him and keep Kep focused on one job. Unless he pulls a Polanco or Arraez surprise it's probably unlikely.

    This kid's got chunks in his stool bigger than Stroman.

    When you hear players such as Plouffe talk about their struggles with Twins coaching it is a testament to him that he doesn't come off as bitter. This team was rock bottom bad for 6 years. An alcoholic who's rock bottom lasts for 6 years is dead. There aren't too many places where an employee with a record like Mr Ryan's keep a job that long. With my limited knowledge at the time it was frustrating to follow. I'm glad I didn't know then what I know now because I might not still be a Twins fan. Alas it is over and I'm also not bitter. A beer tastes much better after a hard go at it and Twins fandom is all the sweeter now after those dark days!

    Heezy, the surgery Richard Hill had was different than these techniques, correct? I'd be interested in having that explained!

    The Twins now have a player with both a pronounced leg kick and long track record of success. Donaldson. Can't hurt Lewis having him around.

    This year if someone gets dinged up I wanna see them sat as long as necessary. If it's Eddie I don't want to see Cave 100% of the time I'd like to see a young guy worked in there. Make lemonade and use your depth!
  22. wabene
    What I liked about second base last year was how they played the young hot player and sat the more expensive vet even though he was reasonably good. They also handled the politics of that situation in an exemplary fashion.
  23. wabene
    I looked it up and I still don't know what it means!?
  24. wabene
    Last year when a win was attainable, sometimes Baldelli would run out Rogers even if he was on fumes. I would rather that a few guys were relied upon to lock it down allowing better pacing of innings. May, Duffey, Rogers and even some Clipboard and Romo. Use the depth.

    Six out of seven years of top five picks should lead to some talent. I never understood the moves made under TR and I don't miss those days. This new group's moves make sense to me and I feel especially excited given how many bad, hopeless years I sat through.
