As the Twins approach the MLB record for home runs I wonder how many people are aware that 10 -- count them TEN -- MLB teams this year are on pace to break the record set last year by the Yankees?

 

Thanks Manfred for making me not care about baseball anymore.

Dick and Bert showing a remarkable lack of knowledge on the 1997 Mariners. Bert thinks it was the team that won 116 games and Dick declares that was the season that saved baseball in Seattle.

No, that was 2001 and Ichiro.

Without looking, I think the mid-90s Mariners were very good too, They went to an ALCS. A-Rod debuted (at age 19 iirc). All that happened before 1997 though, if I recall.

(though confused about the 252... Isn't the record 266 or something?

RETRACTION! RETRACTION!

I mistakenly thought the record was 247, it's actually 267, therefore ONLY FOUR TEAMS are on pace to set the record this year.

With the problem with errors on this team I would have pulled Adrianza off the field for that.  Not the error, but the complete lack of effort trying to field the ball and then going after the ball.

With the September guys coming up I think it's time to go bullpen game the next time Perez's turn comes up.  Or at least give him absolutely no leash and have people warmed up the first sign of trouble.  Scary for next season-rotation as of now probably consists of Jose Berrios and that's it. Which sounds better than Jose Berrios and Martin Perez.
