[wsnydes]

Hi all.

 

I still live, sort of.

 

Working 10 to 12 hours a day sort of limits one's online activities.

 

Go Twins!

I hear ya. Those kinds of hours limits time for a lot of things. Especially if you're doing it on the weekend!

Long azz day here. Started at the mechanic at 8:00am, then came home to see the water/electric were both turned off due to construction outside. Then had my annual fantasy football draft. Feeling good about the team, tried to snag Dalvin Cook but the auction price got too rich for my blood.

 

Seen enuffy of Duffy. Kepler's average continues to tumble and his at-bats don't look too inspired.

 

I hope the Twins give Stewart another chance.

 

Johnny Field does not look very good.

 

Sano & Austin are the next Canseco/McGuire! Bat them 4-5 in the lineup. Austin's making a case for a starting job next year out of camp.

[Danchat]

Mauer's just a triple shy of the cycle now. He's having quite the series so far.

[tvagle]

Come on LoFo....you're due

 

 

EDIT: too be traded...might have missed that sell high moment

[Danchat]

Reed is topping out at 89 MPH... not good.

 

Oh and his face looks like it's going to melt.

[twins_89]

What the heck happened to Reed? The past few years (and even earlier this year) his fastball was sitting 92-94 mph, since coming off the DL he's been at 88-90 mph. If there's something physically wrong with him he really needs to be shutdown.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Roaring back, i'm telling you.

 

That is how the Twins are coming.

[Fargoguy]

Have another beer Jorge...what a throw.

[LaBombo]

 

 

 

Seen enuffy of Duffy. 

 

 

Most of their pitchers look ruffy. They don't have great stuffy. It's making fans gruffy.

[David HK]

Well, went out for a run in the rain.

 

Did I miss anything?

 

The bottom-9 rally?

 

Come on, boys!!

[LaBombo]

 

Well, went out for a run in the rain.

 

Did I miss anything?

 

 

 

I also joined late after a run, to the store for Doritos.

 

The lads mounted a nice comeback that fell short, but my lasting takeaway will probably be that Sano ran hard to first and beat out a ground ball that he probably wouldn't have in the spring. And the guys in the dugout looked genuinely excited for him.
