I can tell you I'm already a fan of Simmons. You can tell the flair already. Him waiving around Sano is telling he's already accepted in clubhouse. After concerns of him quitting last year this is a good sign.

Maeda hasn't been as sharp as I'm used to him being. Missing his spots a lot. Just walked in a run before getting out of a bases loaded jam. Could have been worse, I guess.

Is he already injured? Who wanted us to sign him?

Uhhh. Taylor Rogers hitting 97-98 mph was unexpected. Where'd that come from?

Drew Butera was 6-138 one year with the twins at one point to start off a year.
If you got all the bp like he got and same coaching instruction in your prime do you think you get 6 hits. You face the same pitchers so not Verlander every night and you don't have to worry about defense just hitting.
Cause I think I could've done it we're having argument at the bar right now about it.
I had D-II interest at Florida Southern before getting injured my senior year. That's where my baseball career died. And yes, I would do much better than 6-138. I could probably use half of those AB's bunting and get more than six hits.
Very cool I was pitcher. I played at Doane college which was NAIA powerhouse in Nebraska then played at Augsburg.
The best school to recruit me was Minnesota state but there pitching coach said I would redshirt and I wouldn't be a option till my senior year.
Best story I have is I pitched in front the notes dame pitching coach at tpx. I'm 6'2 225 back then :) lol but I have what you call a roger Clemens ass. I got up there hit my 82-84 on the gun.
He throws his hat says god damn it son I thought I found my ace for the next 4 years with that ass and build and then you threw 82 with perfect mechanics lol. I said I'm sorry sir he said you'll make a D-2 very happy someday.
Bahaha that's fantastic. Should have told him you were just featuring your changeup for the scouts. Saving the cheddar for game day.
Jester you pitched at Doane? I didn't know you had any ties to that area. FWIW Doane has a beautiful campus.

Twins have been sloppy. Defensive miscues and bad decisions. This game should be over already.

Twins blow it in the ninth in typical Minnesota fashion. Unreal.

All I have to say is yuck. Twins just gifted a win to the Brewers.

For a team who could be the best defensive team in baseball they didn't play well on that end. Simmons, Kelper errors and Colome bone headed play were the difference
