I feel attacked. 🤣

Hard to disagree with the original four chosen, but I think I would swap in Tony O for Mauer (sorry Joe!). No player/person has been a better ambassador for the Twins organization than Tony O and he deserves to be on the mountain. -Killebrew -Carew -Puckett -Oliva

Feels like the pitch clock got massive blowback this past week because the first game we saw in the spring had the clock directly behind home plate. Now watching more games, most stadiums in ST don't have it directly in the line of sight so it seems less distracting now. It will be an after-thought by midseason and no one will complain about games being on average 2 hours and 40 minutes.

It’s one thing if he signs with the Giants or Cubs. But the Yankees?! Anyone but the g-d Yankees!

I would rather see Maeda get a look in the back end of the rotation unless serious upgrades are made there (Maeda instead of the bargain bin starters the Twins typically sign) to start the season. If he fails then shift him to the bullpen.

Miranda swinging the bat much better last couple of weeks. But, need like 10 more insurance runs with the pitching staff.

If I missed this already, I apologize, but it would be fascinating to hear what adjustments Buxton has made to get him out of that prolonged slump and back on fire. His slash line in the past week and change is just absurd.

Evergreen

If one thing has been right for the Twins, it's been their starting pitching (can't believe that is the one positive right now). Hopefully the starters can buzzsaw the southsiders' lineup over the weekend and give us a decent chance to win the first series of the year.

Anyone else think of Nick Blackburn when this mentioned hitters hammer the sinker ball? I hope he steers away from that pitch more this season.

I get the service time stuff, but still hard to get behind this trade. Hope I'm wrong this summer.

You don't have to ask me twice. (I'm in)

Looks like it's free on MLB.com too but who knows if blackout rules apply.

Followed by a stolen base where you actually needed that challenge.

Well that was a good run

I'm trying to keep my optimism down in regards about Buxton, but man it is so fun to watch him when he hits like this.

I saw some baseball people saying Oakland as the replacement since they havent had one since 1988. That's great and all, but do these people see the poor condition the Coliseum is in? I can't ever imagine MLB taking the game to Oakland while they are still in the Coliseum.

nailed it

Yes, on that one day when Donaldson is healthy.

You heard it here first: Berrios gets the W today

Not great for the last two games of the Brewers series without a DH (Cruz).

Well done

*very large exhale*

I enjoyed that 1.5 seconds of the ball being ripped into the gap before the camera switched to his run where he pulled up with the injury
