Anyone else nervous that Tanks agent is Bor-ASS come contract extension time?

Still a few years away from that making much of a difference. Hopefully Tank learns to stay off high fastballs. He'd be a monster.

I think Hahn has always been our Boras whisperer anyway

Best opposite field power since Roberto Clemente/Miguel Cabrera.

 

Waiting for Harrelson commentary about how the ball just jumps off his bat, lol.

 

But yeah, whoever said Rios is our only above-average hitter, okay...

 

 

"They signed this guy (Keppinger) to a three-year deal, and I just don't get it." Twins' announcers

Bert Blyleven tells it like it is, at least regarding Twins opponents.

If he earns it, the White Sox have no problem paying their own players.

 

Look what they did with Ramirez.

The chilly relationship or lack there with Boras in last 15 years brings a whole new dynamic to talks JR hates him.

Or breaking stuff off the plate (see Uribe/Ramirez/Beckham).

I imagine Viciedo is going to be paid well come contract time. I know we keep saying it, but he's young, has a ton of power, and a lot of potential. He may never be a .280+ hitter, but he could hit 30+ HRs a year for a long time.

I enjoy him when I get a chance to listen to him.

It was their radio guys. Don't have the t.v. feed with Bremer (assume he's still the guy) and Circle Jerk Bert.

 

 

And yeah, Blyleven's very objective compared to most home announcers, equally so about the Twins.

Yes, but he doesn't explain why the team with guys he can't understand why the team signed and with pitchers who have nothing to get you out, happen to be winning the game.

Keppinger's performance (or lack thereof) will probably make for an easy decision when Beckham comes back. Gillaspie deserves to see the bulk of starts at 3B.

Yes, in general, he's just quiet/silent and lets the dead airtime tell the story when he's frustrated.

 

He does tend to be more talkative and analytical than Harrelson, preferring to look for actual mechanical reasons other than the umpires or conspiracies.

Wow strike 3.............this crew is bad.

I'm sure Keppinger is going to the bench, unless of course there is yet another injury or he starts to hit. But he can't be this bad.

I do not see any other choice unless RV is ordered to play Kep.

1-2-3 inning

Or that Axelrod resembles just about every pitcher the Twins have had for the last 4 years outside of Liriano.

Twins' announcers now bemoaning the fact they don't have a prototypical leadoff hitter like Rickey Henderson, lol.

 

Well, Revere and Span weren't bad at all, but they got too expensive...and they also felt Hicks had more potential, but, this one game against the Sox notwithstanding, seems he was rushed a bit and might eventually go down to AAA.

Nice comeback the last few innings by the offense and Axelrod. Viciedo is just a joy to watch right now.

He's our version of Slowey/Blackburn, just better, haha.

He sure is not Joe Mays

Revere was pre-arb and Span was signed WAY below market. I think they just decided to look a couple years down the road -- they need pitching prospects and expect Hicks/Buxton to man CF for years to come, and Mastroinanni was an acceptable stopgap.

More more more lets get a couple.

Dunn needs to K here to get back to normal

I can tell you guys don't watch a lot of Twins games
