**OFFICIAL Minnesota Twins Thread** - This Is Totally The Year! (1 Viewer)

[Gopher State]

And now we do walk offs !!!

Dont look now but it's a winning streak. 

Whooooo whoooo

 

[Wooderson]

Hottest team is in the AL. 

 

[Frostillicus]

Still suck.

 

[Eephus]

Plouffe oof

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Welcome to 2016, Miguel. 

 

[Wooderson]

Keep rolling 

 

[Limp Ditka]

more like Buston, amirite?

 

[the moops]

Happy Birthday TRE! 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Is there a reason Eduardo Nunez is not starting every day?  I don't get it. 

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Good lord, this team and its bullpen suck like Dillion Harper

 

[sports_fan]

Buxton seems to have gotten worse. Somehow

 

[Eephus]

Buxton has been hitting the ball well since getting demoted to AAA.  The injuries have clearly hurt his development.  He still only has about 400 PAs above A ball, even though he dominated at that level in 2013.  I don't see any point in rushing him back which probably means the Twins will do just that.

I'd like another month of raking AAA, but then I want him back up.  I want him to think it's a minor speed bump in the road to awesome.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I had the under on the Twins at 77.5 wins and felt it was the biggest given on the baseball year.

I made a lot of bets with my buddies that the Twins would lose 100 games because I seriously didn't think this team would win 60 games. Will this team win 50 games?

 

[Jules Winnfield]

JFC, this team has the worst starting pitchers

 

[sports_fan]

Buxton striking out in 42% of his PAs

 

[Cjw_55106]

GM Terry Ryan fired. 

 

[Frostillicus]

Seems like a good return for Nunez.  Will have to look again when not drunk.  Now just have to trade Suzuki, Santana, Nolasco, and Plouffe.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Wow!

Kepler with another HR!

Rookie of the Year?

 

[Gopher State]

Wow!

Kepler with another HR!

Rookie of the Year?

Most home runs hit in MBL since July 1st=12=Kepler

 

[sports_fan]

Buxton is doing things. Good things. Shocking.

 

[Hov34]

Only Twin to hit more that 36 home runs in a season not named Killebrew?

That's right, Brian ####### Dozier.

What a #### season, but at least there is this.

 

[Wooderson]

We did it !!  

First to 100 !!!

:(

 

[BeTheMatch]

Brunansky finally put out of his misery. I'll take that as a good sign from the new guys in charge.

 

[BeTheMatch]

Yankees minor league hitting coordinator James Rowson to become Twins big league hitting coach.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Great article on Buxton

Most of you guys are like @Frostillicus and just pretend to be Twins fans, so I understand.  Sano and Buxton are a lot to get excited about, the pitching is so bad that you're gonna be worse than the White Sux though.  Take care now. 

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Are we really under any illusions that this team is going to be good?  

 

[Frostillicus]

Are we really under any illusions that this team is going to be good?  

No

 

[Wooderson]

Worst to first !!!!

Go Twins Go !!!!

 

[Gopher State]

Good to have Twins baseball back.  Pitching is going to be a problem, but we will score some runs!

GO TWINS

 

[BeTheMatch]

Already worried about Buxton's strikeouts, but at least the pitching has been decent for two games!

 

[Gopher State]

Going to be in Detroit on 4/13, for business,told my Partner to obtain tickets for the game, if we beat the Tigers, I will belive this team is better.

 

[Gopher State]

How 'sweep' it is!

GO TWINS

 

[Frostillicus]

I might not have to change the topic title the entire season!

 

[Wooderson]

Best record in baseball. 

 

[Cjw_55106]

Great showing from Hughes. Buxton would be better off not even bringing a bat to the plate. 

 

[Wooderson]

First time in 30 years the Twims started 4-0. 

1987 ?

 

[Frostillicus]

Great showing from Hughes. Buxton would be better off not even bringing a bat to the plate. 

I don't think this is true.

 

[Gopher State]

Buxton batting average 0.56, game winning highlight catch average 1000.  

Love this guy!

 

[Wooderson]

So far just like 1987 I like this plan.

 

[Gopher State]

First loss.  It was a run!

 

[Wooderson]

Best record in baseball !!!

Change that thread title

 

[Frostillicus]

National Press!

Byron Buxton hitting .069 with MLB-leading 17 strikeouts.

Byron Buxton hitting .069 with MLB-leading 17 strikeouts.

Earned himself the day off today. Thank God.

Dozier takes Fulmer deep to start the game. 

 

[Cjw_55106]

And Buxton is back. 1st AB, pop out to third.  .067

 

[Limp Ditka]

And Buxton is back. 1st AB, pop out to third.  .067

At least he didn't K

 

[Cjw_55106]

At least he didn't K

He was working on it. Castellanos robbed him of the chance by catching the foul ball pop up. 

 

[Cjw_55106]

Grossman goes deep! Maybe with two outs, Zimmermann should have worried more about the hitter rather than throwing over to first three times. 

 

[Cjw_55106]

At least he didn't K

Redemption. Strike out in the 4th. You cant keep a good man down!
