Snow-wise it feels like watching a mediocre team for almost 8 years and desperately hoping for a turnaround, lol This winter will turnaround snow-wise, and how!

I think this team might be a bit better than last year's 13-win team, but my goodness, stop fumbling! The Twins are a lot of fun to watch. Pablo Lopez was such a great trade pickup and Correa is unbelievably clutch in the postseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Dalvin Cook was the key to everything....kidding of course...agree it's stunning the lack of execution on the exact same situations as last year. Lost season but boy oh boy the Twins are fun.

Remember our relief staff, with the beautiful and fluid motion of Tippy Martinez. Remember Don Stanhouse, nicknamed "full pack" , because they say Weaver smoked a full pack to calm his nerves whenever the guy was on the mound. Even so, he was our best reliever in number of saves.

Good stuff. I got to meet Al Bumbry and he was really nice while giving tips to kids. He was the 1973 AL Rookie of the year and Vietnam vet tank commander - he is an O's legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 A long break between the wildcard and Divisional rounds is proving to be a disadvantage for the 'better' teams. Not normal for baseball players to have 5 days off. Didn't have that with a one game wildcard. Dodgers are on the brink. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowsonTownT Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 This year sure was fun while it lasted, but the team knew they weren't going to go far the minute the trade deadline passed without the top shelf pitching needed to survive the inevitable slumps at the bat. If the team wants to make deeper runs in the next few years they will need to spend big on pitching while all their stud bats are on their rookie contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
