Wilbur Posted April 14 Posted April 14 For years I was told that putting the ball in play and singling teams to death wasn't winning baseball.... Quote
sioux rube Posted April 14 Posted April 14 13 more runs tonight beating Boston 13-6. Yes I’m stunned. Nobody wake them up Quote
sioux rube Posted April 14 Posted April 14 From Dan Hayes’ column today in The Athletic - So, what’s their secret? Apparently, they enjoy each other’s company. “This group really likes each other,” Twins manager Derek Shelton said. “Not that that matters, but it does matter. It’s a tight-knit group. … The first night in Baltimore, 16 guys, 17 guys at dinner. Team dinner the next night. Buck rents a room the next night. This group enjoys being around each other. And I think the one thing about it is they all understand their roles.” ———————- And from our Captain, what a leader and a legend; he’s rapidly moving up my favorite Twins list - “We chill,” Buxton said. “We come to play baseball. We focus on ourselves. The one big thing I told them in spring training is, ‘The only thing that matters is who is in this clubhouse.’ Once you believe in that and you understand, day in and day out, this is the brotherhood, this is a family, it starts becoming reality for us. Spring training was kind of that feel and touch era. Now, it’s more get after it.” Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted April 14 Posted April 14 so who was in the wrong...pohlad's kid or the woman with the hat that says sell the team confronting him in the stands infront of his kids? Quote

Stagnant baseball, and the only aggressiveness we saw was getting pitchers out of the game as early as possible. Watching them just peck away at teams and make some pretty good pitchers look average has been refreshing. 1 Quote

They keep it up and are still relevant come June I just may get to Target Field for a series Quote
Wilbur Posted April 15 Posted April 15 And again....we head to the 9th inning ahead 6-0. Chris Atteberry noted that the Twins have hit and run more this year then they did all of last year. Quote
sioux rube Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Just now, The Sicatoka said: Yes it’s fun now, but Twins fans, July is coming. I’m well aware. Going to keep me interested as long as they are in the hunt. That could be in a couple weeks but until they are out of it Go Twins! Quote
Wilbur Posted Friday at 07:14 PM Posted Friday at 07:14 PM Emilio Pagan back in Minnesota for the weekend.....Never forget..... I don't know what was worse, his late game collapses or Rocco continuing to put him out there for late game collapses. Quote
Wilbur Posted Saturday at 09:03 PM Posted Saturday at 09:03 PM I think today is probably your look ahead to what we are in for most of the year. A good six inning start for Bradley, you have a two run lead late, but you have zero shut down relievers and you lose the game. Another good start for Bradley though. Quote
Wilbur Posted Sunday at 08:48 PM Posted Sunday at 08:48 PM And another one today. Feel for the team, but this will be the norm all year long unfortunately. Quote
sioux rube Posted Sunday at 10:09 PM Posted Sunday at 10:09 PM Back to being the Twinkies. That didn’t take long Quote
Wilbur Posted Monday at 01:48 AM Posted Monday at 01:48 AM I just can't get over the Varland trade. Talk about stupid stupid. Alan Roden and Kendry Rojas for one of the best relievers in baseball. That would be like the Twins being able to trade Matt Wallner for a top tier 8th inning guy.....And he's not even making a million bucks this year. Just a devastatingly horrific trade. Quote
Wilbur Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago I guess its could be worse....we could be the Mets.... The pitching matchup tonight and the lineups should've meant a Mets victory. Twins win and Kendry Rojas tomorrow.... Quote
