  1. How secure is a 3 run lead. Hmm, with their pen? Hope the management are taking notes tonite.
  2. Whaddaya know, another dramatic game 163 with the Twins. Left they were leading 3-0, come back losing 5-4. I fear that game ending BP in NY. Well, play the damn game and see what happens. Just saw the Buxton catch - hsmf
  3. Most improved: Berrios. He was worse than awful last season. Berrios 2016: 3-7, ERA 8.02, 74 hits in 58 innings Berrios 2017: 14-8, ERA 3.89, 131 hits in 145 innings. That is a complete turnaround. Buxton's numbers are better, but not to that degree: Buxton 2016: .225 BA, 10 HR, 38 RBI, .714 ops. Buxton 2017: .253 BA, 16 HR, 51 RBI, .728 ops, in about 160 more at bats.
  4. Like to see Duffey working the fastball. Free innings to try something new.
  5. Hell of a wild card to be able to play. They should let him PH against the Tiger pen a couple times just to get that awkwardness out of the way. We have pinch runners galore if he actually gets a hit.
  6. That 82nd win is pretty special: return to winning baseball, relevance, possibly the post-season, the whole shebang.
  7. Eephus, that is the exact example I was gonna put out there. Tim Young scored the overtime winner that broke the curse in the playoffs, and the Stars rarely lost there again.
  8. Nice numbers from Vasquez and Lujan. They would have popped my eyes coming from 19 year olds, but from 23 year olds, guys above average league age, not so much. Still, efficiency should be rewarded.
  9. I don't like retiring numbers. A team hall of fame is sufficient. Especially the single digit numbers!
  10. Greatness is found on the scrapheap occasionally. Managing assets is what GMs do. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year, and yet here the Twinkies are in the midst of a race. Falvey and Levine haven't even had a year in place, yet look at the bloody difference!
  11. Looks like total asset management to me. Falvine look like a patient bunch, and they weigh out all their options to the max. I like the efficiency approach. Once this organization becomes theirs, I expect greatness. Smart guys.
  12. I just like to see an organization give guys like, Goodrum,, Sleger, Curtiss, Garver, Jorge, etc a chance.
  13. Hurrah! Like to see loyalty and perseverance rewarded. 2nd rounder makes it all the way to the big leagues. Twin bench has a lot of that versatility right now.
  14. Reusse and Souhan can write some nice nostalgia pieces from time to time. Take them seriously?! Couch potatoes do not great players or coaches make. Doom and gloom from columnists like them and Tom Powers are part and parcel of the old Minnesota defeatist sports complex that waaaay to many fans buy into..
  15. The magic isn't in the method, but the results. Wild card in August as opposed to on the way to 100 losses. Maybe the current regime has better data on our scrap heap finds than TR ever had, or knew what to do with. Just a guess.
