    Until Buxton proves he can handle the #3 position, they should bat Buxton either 1st or last. Let his speed come just before our best hitters.

    Twins need an assistant pitching coach ? What happened to Everyday Eddie ?
  3. Thegrin
    All we can do is wait and hope or trade his "flawed swing" for a pitcher and wait for him to come back and haunt us.

    The trade made sense at the time. It was obvious the Twins weren't going anyplace....Woops. Wrong again. The Twins made the playoffs.
  5. Thegrin
    it looks like a stabilizing move to me. Oops ! Someone already said that. Please disregard this post.

    No matter what we do, there will be some fans who will not be satisfied. After all, fan is short for fanatics.

    I am happy. Very very happy.

    OMG Can't anybody spot sarcasm any more ??

    I want Big Mike back. I don't care about the suspension. Those rules are obscure and archaic and outmoded. They are culturally bias'd and sporadically enforced. Outside of that, there is nothing wrong with getting suspended by MLB. Where have you gone, Barry Bonds, now that we need you?

    I remember with fondness the way #33 used to hit line drives to the alleys (sometimes for home runs). He was a treat to watch and now he is a treat to listen to. He has become (by far) my favorite of the current rotation of commentators on the TV broadcast.

    Seeing Schoop play 2b made me wonder why he wasn't a Thirdbaseman ? He has a wonderful arm and seems to be quick enough for the hot corner. If I was a team looking for a solid hitting 2nd or 3rd baseman, I'd give Schoop a call.

    Too bad Ryan. We never knew you.

    Great news ! Two down and 3 to find.

    Congratulations to Rocco. Think how good he will be if he ever learns how to handle his bullpen.

    People are ignoring the fact that when there are runners in scoring position, no Twin is better than Eddy bringing them home.

    Gibson is a free agent. Sure, but he is also a lifelong Twin and by all accounts a good teammate. If his illness is cured, then there is no reason not to try and sign him to a "reasonable" contract. If it doesn't look like he is totally well, then let him go. He gave the Twins some good years and I wish him the best.

    I love stolen bases. I loved the Piranha's. However, the way the Bombas Squad hits, it is wiser to play base to base baseball. Earl Weaver did it and he didn't have the HR potential that the Twins do. Look how many runs we lost because of aggressive base running, then a HR was hit. It was frustrating and wonderful and frustrating again. This team needs to run smart and trust their teammates to bring them home.

    If I was the Pohlads I would be thinking... spending more money makes it look like we are trying. Looking that we are trying + a winning record = more customers (wwhich will repay us the extra # spent.) on the other hand... Paying less $$$ makes us look cheap and that we don't care about winning. Which means that even if we have a winning record we will NOT greatly increase attendance which means that not only won't win but we will also decrease the value of the Twins. This means the Twins better have a better payroll than 2019 or the Twins fanbase will totally turn on ownership. The proof will be in the attendance figures.

    Don't care much for these moves, I would however be interested in the hallucinogens you took to construct it.

    10 years after they install robo-umps we will have forgotten why we ever worried about it. It will be natural and organic and "no big deal".

    I trust the eye test. My eyes tell me that Eddie was OK this year. -too often he tried to throw home, when he had no chance, and allowed a runner to move to second. -His throws to home and to 2nd base were generally VERY accurate. -too often he tried to catch a ball that was out of his range, which allowed runners to advance while the center fielder chased down the ball. A little discipline here might go a long way. Eddie, isn't superman and shouldn't try to be.

    10 years from now Gordon will be playing somewhere in the major leagues. DNA tells us so. Lets hope the Twins get something of value for him.

    3 Reasons why the White Sox won't rival the Twins. 1. They have to live in Chicago. 2. They have to live in Chicago. 3. They have to live in Chicago.

    Even my wife would gripe when Sano swung at a pitch, low and outside. Fortunately, that happened less and less as the season progressed.

    I am looking forward to Wheeler's stats at the end of 2020. Wherever he is, I bet the Twins will be glad they didn't add him.
