Twins No-Hitters: Jack Kralick (1962)
KirbyDaisy replied to Sherry Cerny's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I remember that game. As you said, the last out was a pop fly to first base. What was special about that was that, Vic Power, who caught the pop fly used two hands to catch the ball. He was known for using only one hand to catch pop flys as were a lot of other players at that time. -
Opinion/Rant: Don't Give Another Dime for Maeda
KirbyDaisy commented on Cody Pirkl's blog entry in All Things Twins
Minnesota traded Graterol to LA for Maeda. LA traded him to Boston. If Boston wants more they need to get it from LA. -

Article: Week in Review: Moving Forward
KirbyDaisy replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'm not in a position to interview Falvey or Levine, but some of you on Twins Daily are. Why not ask them all the questions popping up on this site. Why is Belisle still here? Why isn't Gonsalves up? Why do we keep adding has beens to the team? Why aren't we bringing up certain relievers instead? Some of you are in a position to get these answers for the rest of us. If we had the answers to these questions our subsequent questions would carry more weight.- 45 replies

Article: Twins Daily Roundtable: Romero's Innings
KirbyDaisy replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'm confused about something. During a game it's the number of pitches thrown that matters. Why is it that for an entire season it's the number of innings thrown. What's worse on a pitcher's arm-throwing 100 pitches in 5 innings or 100 pitches in 9 innings?- 44 replies

I'm intrigued by Jordan Gore. I see he was a 19th round draft in 2017. Another strong addition to our middle infield depth.

Edward Thoma's Baseball Outsider is one of my daily reads. Points things out that I miss. -
Wimmers should have been pitcher of the day. He did his specific job better than any other pitcher.

Article: Twins Need Sagging Bats To Rev It Up
KirbyDaisy replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
"From where I'm sitting, the league has figured out Kepler. He's a very good fastball hitter but can't hit a breaking ball to save his life, just like Buxton (although he can't hit fastballs either). Ditto Sano. If these are going to be "core" players for the next 5 years, they need to figure that out. Maybe they need to replace Rowson." Remember Torri Hunter had the same problem but the twins stuck with him and he became very good. Sano, Kepler and Buxton are young. Let's be patient. -

Relief pitchers also play an important roll in a game. Please add them to your player of the day segment.

Would like to see more recognition given to relief pitchers in your "Players of the Day" segment. Theofanopoulos pitched 3 innings with 5 K's and 2 hits. Maybe you could add a third category which would be only for relief pitchers. After all, there are 3 categories for players of the month.

KirbyDaisy replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Would rather see Perkins as a setup to Jepson, or at the very least, have them both close and setup based on situations.- 51 replies

I'm strongly in the trade Dozier camp. He's one dimensional (home runs) and his defense is overrated. I prefer a more rounded second baseman.
-
I don't like Dozier at the top of the lineup in either scenario. I prefer Mauer hitting second and Dozier at possibly 7th. If Dozier changes his approach at the plate to take more walks and strike out less he would be fine in the #2 hole. I have my doubts that he can do that though.
-
As far as a left handed 7th or 8th inning reliever goes, my preference would be Perkins. I doubt that would happen but to me it makes sense. Jepson or May would then be the closer. This would very nicely balance out the bullpen.

Hicks-Murphy Trade Looking Worse By The Minute
KirbyDaisy commented on Tom Froemming's blog entry in Get to know 'em
I'm ok with the trade but I was really hoping they would also have signed Brayan Pena. I hope they don't resign Susuki after this year, even though I think he's a gamer. -
I would try to lock him up, right now, for 15 years at $300 million. By the time he reaches age 29, considering no injuries (covered by insurance), he would be looking at a Harper type contract, which the Twins couldn't afford. They can afford $20 million per year for 15 years though.
