Maybe it's nostalgia, or maybe it's replacing the old red/white/blue elastic waistband, but I'm suddenly digging the old blue uniforms.

Manfred's next move as commish should be banning this guy from the league...would probably speed games innings up by 15 minutes. 

 

FTFY.

I do like the extra pumped in crowd noise and the music and stuff between batters and pitches.  feels like less dead air during the broadcast.

I'm not seeing tomorrow's game being televised. Am I missing something?

I thought I saw that it will be on channel 9 here in MSP.

Polanco reminds me of playing the same role that Carlos Baerga did for the mid 90s Indians.

 

Both are switch hitting middle infielders that don't walk a lot, don't strike out much, have good but not great power, but are just good hitters in the middle of great lineups. Both are decent but not great fielders at their respective positions and each will get near double digit stolen bases each full season.

 

I looked it up and Polanco and Baerga's (Cleveland only) OPS are within two points of each other.

I hadn't thought of it before, but I agree--that seems like a really good comp.

White Sox score 4 in the 9th to beat Cleveland, some off Hand to take game 3. Giolito threw 6 scoreless. 

How did Giolito do in his first start?  ;)

Now I hate seeing the white sox win, but if they beat Cleveland or the Yankees, then I'm ok with it... lol

Maeda, Bailey and Hill are making Falvine look like geniuses right now.  Josh not as much.

I think it's being played at the park

 

Thanks, dude! I'm listening a little more intently and you're right; it definitely is at the stadium.

Random thought, when was the last time the Twins made a trade with Cardinals of any significance?  I can't think of one in recent memory.

 

Maybe the Liriano/Nathan trade is the last trade the Twins made of any significance.
