Left my seat right after Twins batted in 4th or 5th. Quick pit stop in bathroom, reasonable line to get hot dogs, down a few sections and another reasonable line for a couple beers. I missed 9 outs. Game moves fast now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 The one time in my life the Twins go nuts on the Yankees at Yankee stadium. Great job by Joe Ryan, and Varland pitches at Yankee Stadium again tonight. Just win one of three more and we are happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxBoys Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Carlos Correa is big time. Anybody questioning why they re-signed him should just sit this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Twins lose 6-1 today. Everyone talking wash your hands, but they only scored one run. Kepler back, so there is that. Still a successful trip to NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say a 2nd or 3rd place finish in the Central seems like a fair guesstimate. I really think they have as good a chance chance as anybody (most notably the White Sox and also Cleveland) to win AL Central IF their starting pitching is for the most part healthy. KC and Detroit are non-factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had one career year (redundant I guess) approx 4 years ago but now not much power while hitting at a low average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Kirilloff coming back soon and Gallo playing well I hope he doesn’t get consistent at bats. Buxton will be DH’ing for a while I would think, with Kiriloff mainly at first and Gallo moving more to the outfield. Larnach has cooled off a bit but would also like to see him play consistently as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Kirilloff sounds Russian. He should be playing on a line with Kirill Kaprizov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxScore Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 My god losing a series to the Washington Nationals I think they would be a team that would be a 2 and BBQ in the NCAA Tournament this season.

It seems weird (and maybe looking too much into this) but whenever Rocco ever has a blowup, the team responds with a long losing streak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw out the Bomba juiced baseball year and he's a sub .500 manager. Not playing a no doubles defense on Friday night late in the game cost them, and surprisingly not throwing to the cutoff man cost them the game. This isn't the first time we've seen stuff like this. Kepler making the third out of a game at home when they are down 5, misusing the bullpen....I'd get into Polanco not bunting to put the winning run on 2nd and keep them out of a double play but that would irk the don't bunt crowd.

Other than his career year 3 or 4 seasons ago, he now basically hits like a dozen dingers and a .225 average each season. Okay numbers in this day and age for a real slick fielding middle infielder but not for a RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the binder says don't bunt so we can statistically have a bigger inning. We could have scored 5 runs there in the bottom of the 9th there and won 7-3....
