I’m apparently a coward and ate vegetarian all day today

Tonight was tomato-basil fettucine with a creamy sauce with crimini and fresh Morel mushrooms, with roasted asparagus on the side. We vegetarians DO NOT SUFFER!

[LVTwinsfan]

That makes up for the pickoff

[wsnydes]

No need to manufacture that!  Atta boy, Jose

Yup, I want him back in the majors pronto. When Bundy inevitably blows up, we can slide Winder right back in.

I’m wondering if there might be service time manipulation in play for Winder. How many days on option does he have to have in order for the Twins to get an extra year before free agency?

But what was the wine pairing?

[Mortimerkenny21]

I think this would be a good game for Buck to hit his 20th HR!

[MMMordabito]

This new Gatorade commercial is hilarious.

So glad you asked! I love to talk about wine!

I drank a blend of Rhone varietals from our favorite Columbia Gorge winery (synclinewine.com). 2019, but this was their low-cost blend that doesn't take/need that much aging. Mrs. PDX prefers chilled whites or roses, so she had a lovely 2019 rose from Southern Oregon (cowhornwine.com).

Sounds delicious all around!

Kepler would have had that.

Maybe

According to the radio crew, Shoeless Joe has the Cleveland record for most hits in June at 54 in 1912.

Ramirez has 34 so far.

Around a couple of weeks. 

[Mill1634]

I didn't start Winder in fantasy today.

 

Thank me later

Winder

[Vanimal46]

Hell of an outing by Winder. Welcome back to the big leagues! 

[Vanimal46]

Double post evidently. 

[Vanimal46]

When do we start seeing Wes Johnson making Tik Tok videos like this?

Miranda's baserunning on that pick-off was horrible. Time for a little lesson, on the bench, watching closely.

The benching comment aged real well......

[wsnydes]

Arraez showing signs of life.  

Maybe he needs to hit cleanup more often...

[Vanimal46]

Duff man time. Brace yourselves.

I'd rather listen to nails across a chalkboard for the next half hour than watch a Duffey outing.

[garn from vancouver]

alright the duffinator!

[HokieRif]

[wsnydes]

So far so good for Duffey.

[HokieRif]

[wsnydes]

Clean inning for the Duffey.  I'll take more of those, please.

[stringer bell]

Six outs to get. We have Thornburg and Moran plus Duran available. I imagine they won’t use Duran unless the game gets closer. Tomorrow and Thursday, the Twins have Bundy and Archer starting so they’ll need innings from the ‘pen especially on Thursday.
