  1. Then I'm going to add Astudillo to the core six??? of the 87 and 91 teams because he tried a lot and could have been a sparkplug for those teams.
  2. A lot of Twins fans wear rose colored glasses when it comes to Dan Gladden. He had an OPS+ of 76 in 1987 and 80 in 1991. Yeah, he was on both teams, and they mostly won in spite of him. Is that what we're calling a core player?
  3. Poor Marty. Likely best remembered for the tanning bed incident.
  4. I thought the article would stop after the Carew defense and say something along the lines of, "Well, there's really not much point in continuing this exercise, is there?"
  5. My son had a hamster named Buddy. To the best of my knowledge, he never lost a game for the Twins either.
  6. While La Tortuga is a great human interest story and a seemingly great guy, he is a defensively challenged out making machine. MLB pitchers will continue to feast on his free swinging/high contact "approach". I'm ready to see Astudillo making outs in another organization at this point.
  7. Their fans in the mlbtraderumors comments are also interesting. Their defense/excuse/justification is always to bring up other cheating scenarios, whether it's steroids, Pete Rose, or accusing all of the other teams of similar infractions. Definitely not accusing all Astros fans of having that mindset - just the mlbtraderumors ones.
  8. All this while having the 4th fewest strikeouts in baseball. This has been a special season.
  9. 9 total bases out of Sano and Buxton. How many times do you suppose we saw that in 2018?
  10. Felix Pie (from the Vlad video). Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.
  11. Don't sleep on Morneau. He's one of the league leaders in Wins Above Raplacement Announcer.
  12. It's refreshing to see both Lewis and Kiriloff at the top of the list with multi-hit games, also Gordon. It helps mask the stench of Thorpe's clunker.
  13. I'd much rather see the Twins try to revive the corpse of Ervin Santana than keep trotting De Jong out there.
  14. I'm bored. When do they start the innings with runners on second again?
  15. I believe it was either the KC or Cleveland broadcasters who recently asked Kepler what to call a male ballet dancer, and Max replied with "soloist".
  16. Rosa Parks' (probably no relation to ByungHo) house in Detroit was recently slated for demolition, but an American feller in Germany bought it, moved it, and reassembled it in Berlin. Weird but true. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/04/10/a-house-without-a-home-rosa-parkss-detroit-dwelling-was-resurrected-in-berlin/?utm_term=.0ad800c5709b
  17. "And now we learn Rosario has two little kids and a wife to take care of...cut him mn now..this guy is reckless and not worth the distress!!" He and/or his wife are obviously very fertile and should be removed from the organization immediately. Same goes for Mauer and his twins. As a matter of fact, family is nothing but a distraction. I bet that's why Mauer is striking out so much this year.
