9th or 10th in the AL is sort of a stretch I'd say. There's 2 dominant teams in the AL. Houston and the Yankees. You could easily say the Twins are the 3rd best team in the league. You can argue that if you will but they're closer to 3rd than 9 or 10

Got it. Thank you

What exactly is Buxtons streak and is it supposed to be a record or something?

And their fan base of 40 strong are there to let you know.

No Buxton at the all star game. Let him have these 4 full days off and rest the knees and whatever else ails him.

It's a skill if your name is Willie Mays Hayes or if you play on turf. See 85 Cardinals

WAR! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.

Fun fact. 5 Twins wives are pregnant presently. A mass baby shower was held. Maybe that's the problem.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Haha

OK. Turn off the game. We'll let you know how things turn out

OK. How much

8.3

Gordon is not having a good night in left tonight

So much for the left on left match-up

I'm don't know for sure but I think Rocco was arguing the fact that Garver made no attempt to avoid the pitch

Nov. 23, 2 days before black Friday

Buxton will be off tomorrow after the slide into 3rd and his catch into the wall

155 mm.

But a homer by the 3rd is better

I was just answering your question. I don't agree with micro managing and mid-season firings. Those are desperation moves. They seldom work

World championships. Just like every other fan base. Cept maybe the marlins ?

When I put Arreaz in the core 4 I'm not saying he's #1 on the list. I'm putting him in the leadoff spot and going down the lineup from there. He's 25. Buxton does need to be more consistent no doubt. Because even though he's got 22 homers, if you look at it after that dare I say his numbers are Sano like. But then you have to factor in that he's the best CF in baseball. So he still belongs. After that if Correa is here. No brainer. Then it would be nice if Ryan and Winder could develop into a nice 1 2 punch. Duran out of the pen. After that it's hopeful the Lewis Larnach Kirilloff Miranda Kepler Polanco etc can continue to grow and improve. I like where the Twins are. They just need another 2 or 3 guys out of the pen they can DEPEND on consistently.

It would. But that's only if he's here. Would be nice if that happened.

Arreaz is not a great defensive player, I agree, the overriding fact is he can hit. And I'm not building a team solely around him. TD Army is always complaining about 2 things. The bullpen and lack of hitting or lack of hitting with RISP. Solo homers are better than 2 run shots? Go back to Twins vs Yankees game when Cole pitched. 3 or 4 solo shots. Who won the game. ARREAZ, leadoff playing wherever for the next 5 years is a good start

You can't build a team around a guy who gets on base 40% of the time? As General McAuliff said to the German surrender proposal during the Battle of the Bulge. NUTS!
