April 27, 20196 yr Of course the walk off was huge but that defensive play in the hole in the top of the 9th was also a thing of beauty. What an all around talent.

April 27, 20196 yr When Tim chucked that ol bat none of the Tigers were looking at him as they were too busy watching the ball fly out of the park. Edited April 27, 20196 yr by harkness99
April 27, 20196 yr If Gardenhire wants to come out throwing because of that.. then he should make sure he comes out of the dugout to get some of his teeth knocked out - don't be a coward.

April 27, 20196 yr Haven't felt the need to post in quite some time, but I'm really feeling this team and looks like baseball might have found a new "bad guy." Everyone in the AL central is gonna hate timmy real soon. Hoping for a fun summer!
April 27, 20196 yr That was a lot of fun. Obviously the walkoff homer will be one of the best moments of the year but I was just mesmerized by that play in top of the inning. He went so deep into the hole and was so smooth to get the leader runner. I don't want to get ahead of myself because it's just a month of baseball and he's way over his career trends but the growth Anderson has had is pretty incredible. He's becoming so natural at short with the same tremendous range and hose he's always had. He's settled in at the plate and is showing a veteran attack staying with the ball and using the whole field again. You can't just put him away with half-cocked breaking balls anymore. And the strength at the plate...he's a far more powerful hitter this year when his improved approach isn't even conducive to power. He's also cut his K% over 5% from last year's rate which was his career best. He's just under 19%. There are improvements all over the place even if he's obviously just starting the year in a hot streak. Again, it's 21 games for him and only 90 plate appearances and I am not going to jump to say he's an All Star or MVP candidate just yet, but you see the improvements year-over-year if you are watching the games. Even if he returns to some bad habits at the plate there's a great player here. He was never going to be a high OBP guy but I see 30-30 in his future. He's developing into a great defensive shortstop who is one of the best in the league on the base paths and is a power/speed threat at the plate. That's a 4 WAR guy. - championship caliber SS.

I'm not gonna sit here and rehash the Tatis thing again but it's hard not to imagine an infield of YoYo,Timmy,and Tatis and what might have been. Not to mention if Madrigal becomes the guy we think he could be then he would have become an amazing trade chip for a front line starter/other need. Sucks Edited April 27, 20196 yr by TheTruth05

Sucks Not sure we’d have Moncada if we didn’t make the Shields trade though. I truly believe the Shields trade blowing up as dramatically as it did as early as it did played a huge role in initiating a full scale rebuild 6 months later.
