Game Thread: Twins (Ryan) v Angels (Detmers), 5/19 @ 8:38pm

I feel like Correa just needs a reset. Now that Farmer is back, even with Miranda down, give the guy a day off.

Lewis did NOT hit a 3rd HR in his 4th PA. Line drive single and a caught steeling.

Rocco plans to have Buxton and Lewis split DH duties, with each DH’ing half of each game. To be safe.

Ah well 58.75 here just sayin, lol. Last week I woke up to watch the end of a West Coast game. Old guy cred. 

I got you both beat, so knock it off! 🙂

But Rocco reads TD, so he knows he'll get hammered for giving him a blow. 

But seriously, Correa is hitting .265 with a .795 OPS the last eight games, with only one 0-fer, so I'm guessing he's feeling like he's at least starting to get untracked.

For my job, I do a lot of teaching related to personal finances, so I regularly reference the ages of 59.5, 62, 66-67, 70.5, 72 (now 73), etc. Those numbers start to feel a little different as you approach them!

Saw Liam Hendriks is throwing bullpen sessions to build up. Wonderful to hear.

Yeah … trying to figure out when will be a good time to retire … at 65 or 67

Not going to say how old I am…but have a framed photo in the man cave of Rod Carew in his rookie season with his arms around me on one side and my brother on the other.

Hello, young ones. 

[Squirrel]

No matter how old we all are, no one has Chief beat. He’s older than all our ages added together!

[h2oface]

One pitch. There goes the no-hitter.

Even though I don't work in the morning, I still might miss this ... I'm old and it's late ... but GO TWINS!

 

 

 

We are all "old".  The secret is to let it be chronological not physical.

I did it at 56.  Never looked back.

Twins hitters need to stop chasing bad throws.

I hope to grow old, but not up.

I retired at 66, then again at 67, and now a third time at 69! This time's for real, though!

[stringer bell]

So many strikeouts!!

I'll be 69 later this year and still feel 40ish. 

Retired January 1,  2023.

I think its time to realize Joe Ryan is that guy.
