Dick was onto something about limiting innings because of the short season and it was making sense, then Justin was along the lines of, "nah... veterans should be fine. In fact it will help them."

Since we're in a rain delay let me tell you how crummy I felt today after yesterday's 2nd COVID shot.

Which vaccine did you get?

[ashbury]

A hanger, immediately followed by a banger.

[ashbury]

Which vaccine did you get?

Moderna.

Hangars'n Bangers. I think that's airport food.

Which vaccine did you get?

The covid vaccine, I'm bettin'.

[FlauerPauer]

Complimentary standing ovation for 5 2/3 innings lol

Moderna.

I'm getting my second Moderna in 3 weeks. A friend in Cali got Pfizer and she had a 104 temp after the second shot, felt sick 2 days. I'm hoping for the best, but I read that the second shot is the one more likely to cause a reaction, though the odds of anything serious are minuscule -- even lower than Sano's batting average!

Which vaccine did you get?

 

It doesn't matter to be honest. I had Moderna and felt the worst I've ever felt and then poof it was gone and the next day felt awesome. I have friends who got Moderna and had the opposite. Same situation with Pfizer. It's about your immune system and your blood type. 

 

Get vaccinated if you can!

[FlauerPauer]

Nasty curve right there!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Does anyone know if Circus Boy still want updates?

[ashbury]

Since we're talking covid, I haven't shared this too widely, but my youngest son got infected with the virus a couple of weeks ago courtesy of an idiot roommate in grad school. He had moderate symptoms for about five days but has been OK for more than a week now, KNOCK ON WOOD.

Does anyone know if Circus Boy still want updates?

Give it to him anyway

[wabene]

Cruz just keeps getting faster!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nelson beats out another infield hit.

[MNT1996]

Cruz has more infield hits than Buxton...

 

and Buxton has more homeruns than Cruz...

[wabene]

A week oiled machine.

[snotboogie]

Nellie hustles down the basepath again.

[USAFChief]

 

Nelson beats out another infield hit.

As expected.

[ashbury]

Nelson beats out another infield hit.

"As Expected."

 

He's faster than me so I need to stop snarking.

 

/ edit - ninja'd by a few seconds that I wasted typing in the trademark

Not sure I can stick around for the full game. Barely slept the past day and a half. Lost a furbaby very early this morning and functioning on fumes. No pity asked! Just a really nice diversion to see the Twins play well and enjoy some conversation and laughter in a game thread with my TD family.

 

Go Twins!

[USAFChief]

Buxton with a base hit up the middle.

 

Well, I guess it was inevitable he'd cool off eventually.

[USAFChief]

 

"As Expected."

 

He's faster than me so I need to stop snarking.
 

As is Chief.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Give it to him anyway

7-2 in the 6th bottom with the Twins threatening to add more with Garver up with 2 on and...1 out?

[IndianaTwin]

Sounds like the starter for Seattle on Saturday is Yusei Kikuchi.

 

Too bad he didn't pitch against the Padres or Marlins about 20 years ago. Then, if someone asked who the hitter is against Yusei Kikuchi, I'd say "Mark Kotsay."
