When baseball gods get angry

Everyone who has ever played the game knows you simply do not anger the baseball gods.   The baseball gods are a vengeful lot. Any kind of slight, whether real or perceived, can cause them to rain down bad karma on players, coaches, teams and even, apparently, entire organizations.   Someone in the Minnesota Twins organization must have really ticked off those baseball gods back during spring training, because the Twins have had one calamity after another since March. That’s when arguably the to

The Rising Cost of Brian Dozier

On last week's episode of Talk to Contact, Darren "Doogie" Wolfson spent some time with us discussing the possibility of a Brian Dozier contract extension. He mentioned that Dozier's agent has already approached the Twins about this possibility. By the end of the interview, he said he wouldn't be surprised if Dozier has a new contract in place by the end of spring training next year.   From the perspective of the Twins front office, there might not be a reason to be in a rush with Dozier. He di

Danny Santana & the .1% Solution

Danny Santana is a major league prospect. He isn't in the Twins' Top Ten and he isn't a Top 100 prospect in minor league baseball. Most players with his pedigree don't become stars, but some do and I imagine some become All-Stars and most likely some have become Hall of Fame players.   Santana's strength as a prospect are his raw tools. He has great speed and a strong arm. His minor league stats have been unremarkable. Finally, he is a prospect in a position of need for his team.   Santan

Advanced Statistics & Broadcasts: Where Should The Two Meet?

During Saturday's Fox Sports North telecast, Dick Bremer and Jack Morris were discussing the Minnesota Twins rotating crew of misfits in the the outfield. More specifically, they were talking about how injuries to Josh Willingham and Oswaldo Arcia have caused the team to play a 1B/DH hybrid in RF (Colabello) and whatever middle infielder they can find in LF (Nuñez, Escobar, Bartlett).   Dick then went on to say (I'm paraphrasing a bit here, but the context is the same): Imagine if the Twins pit

Maybe there was some risk...

With the signings of Kubel, Bartlett and Guerrier, comments overwhelmingly went like these below.                 No risk? No impact on the 40 man roster?   Alex Presley Brooks Raley Darin Mastroianni   Signing decline phase players (even to minor league contracts) does have a risk.   It kept the Twins from seeking other younger solutions.   It invests playing time into players with no upside.   It costs a few younger players on the 40 man roster who have a better long term shot at being a role

Loving the New Gardy..

Wow Gardy is no longer in love with the Mendoza line! Love todays lineup, Gardy is desperately trying to get some hitting in the lineup..absolutely love Santana being in, love Parmalee call up...love ANYBODY is spelling Kubel for a bit..(he will rebound)   One thing concerning..is Pinto finally starting to hit again..but sitting..but Suzuki is Superman!..I know the cape will tear eventually..but loving seeing him fly!

Pinto's Prodigious Potential

Outside of shortstop, there may not be another position player with lower offensive expectations than catcher. The physical toll of the position forces many elite offensive players into other roles – Bryce Harper, for instance, was moved from catcher to outfielder immediately after being drafted in an effort to extend his career. Others, such as Joe Mauer or (eventually) Buster Posey are moved later into their career when the beatings sustained as a catcher threatens to shorten their playing tim

[ATTACH=CONFIG]7383[/ATTACH] Photo from Bryan, https://www.flickr.com/photos/begreen90/ The Twins dropped a day game to the Tribe on Thursday afternoon, losing the four-game series three games to one.

Why Miracle Have Worst Website?

The Miracle are the only affiliate not to have Video and/or Photos on their website from this season. We are 30+ game in to season and fans have no way to evaluate their prospects other than the written material they read on website. I would love to see what some of these guys look like (even an occasional photo).   Despite new ownership move - what is the excuse for limited news coverage? How awesome would it have been to see Buxton score from 2nd on a wild pitch? Etc. Etc.   Any thoughts?..

We were one of the podcasts removed, we were fired up, and spent the first ten or so minutes discussing this entire situation. We also had the opportunity to purchase some free tickets through ScoreBig.com, an online ticket auct
