Will The Twins Carry Two Catchers?

Original Post from http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2012/03/27/will-the-twins-carry-two-catchers/   Recently, there's been talk that the Twins will carry only two catchers. Those two catchers would be Joe Mauer and Ryan Doumit. However, I don't think the Twins will keep only two catchers. Let's take a look at the reasons why I don't think this is the case.   The original plan for Doumit heading into the season was for him to be the main DH. That plan might be up in the air right now due to

When Do Fans Get Excited For A New Baseball Season?

Originally posted at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/When-Do-Fans-Get-Excited-For-A-New-Baseball-Season/     With the unseasonably warm weather we’ve been having, I’ve been pondering on the Question. When Do fans get excited for a baseball season? The answers to this are numerous and I think it depends on the fan. There are those fans that just like to be at a baseball game, but I think more of them get excited when the weather gets warmer or when the players start to get ready

What Will Opening Day Be Like?

Originally posted at What Will Opening Day Be Like? | Troy's Twins Dugout Hello Twins fans and it's another season upon us! tomorrow, some of you fans and players alike will be braving the cold at Target Field. I wonder if they will postpone the game because the weather forecast is expected to be in the 30's with windchills in the 20's.   Wel, to tell you the truth, it doesn't feel like baseball weather here in Minnesota. Although Target Field is cleared of snow, there's still snow on the ground

What Makes A Good Baseball Broadcast?

A version of this post was published in February. You can view it at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2012/02/09/what-makes-a-good-baseball-broadcast/   It's opening day for the Twins. One other thing, it's the first opening day since 1986 with out the voice of Jon Gordon painting a picture of what's going on on the field. He called Twins baseball for 25 years. To honor Gordo, I thought I'd share my post I wrote in February I wrote on what I thought makes a good baseball broadcast. So, enjo

Twins Need To Look Themselves In The Mirror

this post was originally posted at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2012/04/11/twins-need-to-look-themselves-in-the-mirror/     The Twins haven't done well to start the season. They're 0-4 after losing three straight to The Baltomore Orioles and the home opener against the Angels, scoring only 6 runs compared with 20 runs allowed.   Now that they've had an off day to assess where they're at, I think it will be interesting to find out how they will respond. Granted, the Twins haven't made a

Twins Fest Highlights

Originally posted at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2014/01/26/twins-fest-highlights/ Hello Twins fans! Well, the Twins season is a couple of months away. I thought I’d share some of the highlights from my experience at Twins Fest atTarget Field yesterday. It was certainly a different experience from the years past at the Metrodome. Also, I think this is probably the best opportunity to experience certain parts of the ball park that fans normally wouldn’t go to during game days.   To star

The Homerun Race Between Willingham and Plouffe Should Have A Slogan

Originally posted at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/   Recently, I've been thinking about the homerun race between Trevor Plouffe and Josh Wilingham. No, it's not as dramatic as the race between Mickey Mantle and Roger Marris. However, it's still fun to follow Plouffe and Willingham as they battle for the team lead in homeruns.   For several weeks now, they've been battling for the team lead. Plouffe hasn't hit a homerun in over a couple of weeks. Willingham last homered in Saturday's los

The Bench Is The Biggest Question Mark Heading Into Spring Training

Originally published at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/the-bench-is-the-biggest-question-mark-heading-into-spring-training/   In looking at the Twins roster picture, the bench seems to be the biggest question mark. Who makes the 25 man roster coming out of spring training on the bench will be based upon several scenarios.   Recently, my dad and I did a half hour show where we discuss the roster at length.

Should Fransisco Liriano Become A Full Time Reliever?

Originally Posted at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/should-fransisco-liriano-become-a-full-time-reliever/   Recently, the Twins have moved Fransisco Liriano to the bullpen. Since then, he's made two relief appearances and hasn't allowed a run.   On Monday, he pitched two innings of relief against the Cleveland Indians. He retired the tribe in order in the seventh. In the eighth, he walked the bases loaded before working out of the jam.   Earlier this afternoon, he pitched 2/3 o

Saying If Only This Or That Had Happened Won’t Change the Outcome

Originally posted at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2012/04/24/saying-if-only-this-or-that-had-happened-wont-change-the-outcome/   The Twins so far this season have a record of 5-12. One of the reasons for this is the fact that they've not taken advantage of scoring opportunities. They've hit into 19 double plays. Not only that, they’re 8-47 with runners in scoring position in their past five games.   Last night's 6-5 loss featured an excellent opportunity in the eighth inning for the Twi
