At best a delayed start. 100% chance of rain tomorrow. 1 to 2 inches. ☹️

Miranda is starting to find his swing!

Today feels like a Friday.

Feels like a Monday to some, apparently.

 

Right @shortround81?

Thank You

Let's face it:

No matter how much anyone hopes otherwise, Ryan Jeffers will never be more than a .211 hitting catcher who might hit 9-10 HRs per year - and that's working as the primary backstop.

He's serviceable but I think it's safe to start eyeing other prospects in the organization.

 

[Squirrel]

Poop. Why do you do that when it’s two outs?

[Mill1634]

I have zero issue with the decision to tag right there. It's one thing if Buxton is swinging it like he had been, but he's not, and it isn't like it wasn't a close play.

Which prospects would those be?

[mrtwinsfan]

Closer than i 1st thought, Gio not to Speedy either, but nice throw

Has he even played a year in the majors?

a big Drew Butera.

The Twins are so slow on the bases (other than Buxton, and who needs Lewis, I guess). You have to be able to tag and score there. Plus, a more clever slide would have maybe snuck in.... can't lead with the arm closest to the catcher.

[Squirrel]

Go Twins!

So, when Correa gets a hit, he turns around and points to the dugout … I like it, but what is that? Is it today’s version of ‘smell ‘em’?

He's yelling obscenities at all the teammates that are both worse at baseball and paid less than him.

[mrtwinsfan]

Like to see Sonny go at least 8, b4 Bremer gives him the Cy Young

Ryan Jeffers has a career 90 OPS+.

Drew Butera had a... wait for it... career 48 OPS+.

Carlos Correa is a big believer in bootstraps.

After review, it’s the Kettle river that divides Duluth and Superior, it flows into the St Croix river that goes south to make the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota until it flows into the Mississippi at Prescott, Wi.
 

Superior, Wi is east (southeast really) of Duluth (right hand side of the map).

 

yeah it’s a really big stretch and a bad geography pun

 

im sorry

I'm okay with Jeffers, but Alex Isola at AA Witchita is hitting .305 with 5 dingers.

With Bux on deck and a floundering starter at 85 pitches....
