EL Juidero is the most baffling music video ever.

Did Colomé Throwing 2 Innings Hint at Baldelli's 2021 Bullpen Strategy?
Great article/analysis. I know this makes me seem like an old man, but 3 + outs shouldn't be the exception. Especially when you you may be facing the 5-9 hitters in lineup (Although The Twins lineup would give me pause) I just can't believe we live in a world with 14 pitcher staffs. Did love this line The reason for this was because the bullpen was made up of bubble gum, paper clips, and lost dreams. Also, Matt Magill

Morneau
I think Morneau's charm is his flat delivery and also, he does have humor, you just have to have to listen for it because he's so monotone. I personally love it. Some like chocolate, some like vanilla. Good job Justin (and Hawkins and Hunter and Smalley) Like I said in OP I listened to a lot of alternate games last year and really feel like the Twins are putting out a quality broadcast

Morneau
I thought he was was really good last year. Maybe I'm on an opening day high (Not high) but he is so good. Who would have thought he would be so good? He and Bremer are a great pair. Coming off last year which I listened to a lot of alternate broadcasts, The Twins are in top 5

Finally Healthy, Jorge Polanco Is Poised for Resurgent 2021
I hope Polanco rebounds. Don't want to fail on both Kepler and Polanco re-signings. I know we got them on team friendly deals, but this won't look good in a couple years. Kepler looks absolutely lost at the plate. I hope everything 'clicks' somehow April 1. I hated watching him bat last year and was glad it was only 60 games.

Notebook: Dobnak Shines Again
"I'm worried about offense....I'm worried about defense....I'm worried about Starting Pitching....We don't have 4 lefties in the pen....Who's going to be our #3 Right Fielder.....SIGH...Aaron Rodgers once said something profound "R-E-L-A-X" I know it's our job to be concerned. I know it sucks Kriloff is hitting .100 but this team wasn't thrown together overnight and 4 plus years of FalVine makes me comfortable. Games count as much in April as September, but let's not freak (until May 1)

#Let'sNotMakeIt20
Would be an optimistic swing for a Sotastick t-shirt or North American Sports Leader 18 and Counting.... Both would be iconic, only in the knowTwins Fan wink wink nudge nudge say no more. Not trying to be defeatist, ironic, or whatever. Just thought it was an interesting, fun spin. There's only a couple of handfuls of teams that are the leader in X of all 4 major North American sports. You're welcome Sotastick

Notebook: Andrelton Simmons Arrives
I don't need an ad (although I love the concept of the ad) to love Dobnak. No story line in 2019 was more compelling than minor leaguer setting wedding date well beyond his end of season and yet... Get's through 4 levels of competition and is pitching a post-season game in the majors. Hollywood can't write that. I hope he has a nice 5 year run with the Twins and has an imprint on a couple of big games (in a good way) Austudilllo was fun, Dobnak is a player. Wish both the best.

Notebook: Twins Beat Boston in Spring Training Opener
I agree, but the teams HAVE to be doing something earlier than the week players report. The assistant to the assistant Travel Coordinator I'm sure has responssabilities and deadlines to get this sussed out. Otherwise, sign me up

Masters of Efficiency: How the 2021 Twins Acquired Their WAR
Darius may have written the most profound, funny, sad line ever: To date, we’ve accomplished nothing other than the longest playoff losing streak in the history of any documented sport. I went from laughing to feeling sad in seconds

Twins and REM5 Studios Launch TwinsXR
Great job. I only poked around, but can't wait to take a deeper dive later. Thanks for the article, Seth. Again, great job Twins

Dealing With the Dodgers
No thanks. All options are either too expensive or prospect depleting. I like our starting staff. Is it World Series caliber? No. Is the team built to win one game in ALDS? Yes. We could have Bauer and guarantee a win (maybe) but cripple the next 3 years. I like the organization focusing forward. We'll get there

Who’s the Top Twins Prospect? Alex Kirilloff vs. Royce Lewis
Not getting on board with either. Especially Royce. SSS for both, and to predict both are going to be studs...You don't folllow MLB. Kirloff may be a substandard defender where ever you put him. Lewis may not have a position. I know nothing about about prospects, but aside from his AZ Fall League 2 weeks Royce has done nothing to impress with the bat. I know Larnach, Rooker, and Jeffers are older, but that is the future. May sound crazy, but how I feel

How Do You Plan on Following the Twins in 2021?
Kind of a side note, I use MLB TV so the only games I don't get are the Chicago games (which is fine because they're on cable and and I don't have to listen to Hawk anymore (Dagummit). Is it true that if you subscribe to MLB TV in Iowa you don't get Chicago, KC, MPLS, St. Louis, and Milwaukee?

How Many Roster Spots are Locked in for 2021?
Polanco is guaranteed. If his ankle surgery doesn't improve his performance then we have a problem. If he has to be utility, his good value contract isn't looking so hot 2 years later. I don't see another team making a trade of any value after his '20 stats.

What Does the Francisco Lindor Trade Mean for the Twins?
I think the key thing to remember here is that Cleveland is doing a payroll dump, not a 1 for 1 exchange of potential talent. Cleveland will surrender a year of being competitive, save 40 million, and right ship in 2022. I think they know what they're doing. I always hate the sox, but I always respect Cleveland

Universal DH still up in the air
Again, if the owners want to use the DH as a negotiating chip, the time and place to do that is the upcoming CBA negotiations, not the middle of some random offseason. Thank you, Brock. That was the point I was trying to make in this post.

Top 20 Minnesota Twins Assets of 2021: Part 1 (16-20)
I appreciate that you spelled out the values you were placing on how you were ranking players. Makes sense and should reduce a lot of arguments. This isn't science, just speculation. My quib on the list is Rogers. I'd rank him a bit higher of an asset. That's just me
