“One score and ten years ago” (as Tom Kelly once famously began), the Twins won three of four in a series with the Royals at this time of year.  The Twins won the last two games of that late May

Fun fact: Sal Perez looks even slower trotting around the bases in person than on TV 

You, sir, have a sadistic definition of "fun".

Robo-ump will revolutionize the game for the better. I have seen so many pitchers get screwed by fantastic pitches on the edge called a ball by these unreliable humans. Then they get frustrated and throw the next pitch right down the middle. Same guys will now get a well-deserved K. 

Same thing for "homer" umps that give their side's pitcher a "strike" on some half-wild curve that misses the zone by a foot. Then the hitter is at a disadvantage - where the hell is the strike zone? So they feel obligated to swing at some outside pitch, destroying their eye at the plate.

That will happen sometimes. I expect, though, that a more consistent strike zone will help batters more than pitchers. Batting is about timing. Pitching is about disruption. IMO anything that makes the game more predictable should aid batters.

When will Buxton be playing?   

Your guess is as good as anyone's. Another setback in the rehab, it seems.

The latest from Yogi Gladden, this time when talking about pitchers, "If you're at 90-91 and command, you're going to hit your spots. And there's a high velacity (sic) fastball."

Really important for Simmons to get a run in. 

He didn't get your memo.
