Should have seen him when he was an 8 week old puppy. He stopped traffic and people ran out of their cars to pet him. A5D87FF7-089C-4AAF-A2DC-8AA726700D65.jpeg.f21c0c8c2e300171ba8305c8ab206eb7.jpeg

Wasting even an inning of Duran in a 10 run games seems really, really useless.

Maybe he can work on not center-cutting that splinker.

Very good article about he demotion. The article mentions Correa going into Rocco's office following the news and wanting a rational for the demotion of Lewis.

Correa sounds like a hell of a leader who will go to bat for his teammates. I really want him to wear a Twins jersey for a long time.

That is what playing possum means?

 

Are there possum virtuosi? Or concerti?

Perhaps to the tune of "Impossumble Dream"?

Is it just me or does this game seem like it is taking absolutely forever?

It is. 26 hits and 10 walks will do that.

It's the genius of the bullpen usage "managing his ass off", clocking up the pitches for the season from Duran in the blowout. 23 pitches..... and not available for tomorrow in a close one if needed........

edit: thanks Stringer Bell..... no game tomorrow! Which means he could have pitched yesterday, about 16 hours ago? instead? (and the quote was Nick Nelson, not me). Just an observation. Seems like a waste to me to "eat innings" today at all.

Twins win! Sonny Gray was really good, the lineup was fantastic up and down, with Buxton (!!) being the least productive of the 9 starters today. The bullpen wasn't sharp, but it didn't even matter. Winning a season series 5-1 against any team is more than acceptable. 

Until Friday,

Enjoy your chicken!

It was a nice hamburger one. But no worries, about to munch on a chicken sandwich leftover from today's lunch as there wasn't enough lasagna to fill me up lol!?
