My performing days are long past ,,. I do other behind the scenes stuff now, which suits me fine. But at one time I was a cellist

So was my wife…. beautiful sounds come out of that chunk of wood(the cello, not my wife?)Can make a proud man cry!

Larnach took the scenic route on that one

He is best in right field, put Kepler in center, Larnach in right and Willie Mays Hays in Left.

Who was that clown in the tie-die shirt trying to fight those women for the Kepler HR ball? Sending bad karma his way ~~~~~~oogabooga~~~~~~

A long time ago I was at a game and my then boyfriend and I had seats right behind the Twins dugout. (Seats I had gotten through work, I might add.) Bert was pitching. Struck out the 3rd batter to end the inning. As he was walking toward the dugout the catcher threw the ball back to him and as he went into the dugout he looked up at me and tossed me the ball. My then boyfriend jumped in front of me just as I was about to catch it and intercepted it. I mean, it was coming directly toward me, and I know how to catch a ball. Very classless thing to do. Glad that didn't last. I made him give me the ball, but the moment was ruined. He didn't even apologize, just claimed 'instinct'

[Rosterman]

Yep, it keeps getting better and better. Can Smith throw a double-play ball and be a sixth inning hero...leaving the Twins only nine more outs. Wish we had Griffin Jax available!

Glad we pulled out the guy who was cruising in favor of the guy who’s only good when he comes in with a guy on base

And has been for a while. Amazing that a guy nearing 40 struggles with overuse

[bighat]

Boy did Joe Smith's arm sure go to hell in June. Aging guy, looks like he's just running on empty. Really sad to see the Twins keep running him out there to get pummeled night after night at this point. Bad for Smith and bad for the team.

Saw the twins play the d-backs this past weekend in Phoenix.  Lost 2 of 3, and looked pathetic.  Chase Field in Phenix is a **** hole.  1st row seats, field level, and couldn't see home plate.  Stadium is like watching a game in an airplane hangar.  The only positive thing was their air conditioning.  It was comfortable, despite 372 degrees outside.

Cold front must have moved in

I am not in favor of keeping in Thielbar over an inning against RH hitters... dude's been pretty brutal this year against them.

Err....great job Joe!

[RpR]

Smith is not as bad as infielders who do not even know how many outs there already are.  Twins show they are clue-less.

[Vanimal46]

Escaped that unscathed. Buckle up, it’s going to be a Duffey night.

Yeah, I would have claimed instinct too, sorry, but the ball is yours

JFC …..Gladden is smoked up. We need someone better 

nothing wrong with being smoked up but c’mon

[Rosterman]

Well, two bullpen arms see their ERA go down, for the moment. They look like heroes!

Who is this Kwan guy. Man, I would like to see Arraez, Kwan and Astudillo bat back-to-back someday against many a pitcher!
