GAME THREAD 6/30 TC vs BALT

[Parfigliano]

Pablo Lopez vs Kremer.  Cle has already lost to the Cubs so we got that going for us.

[RickOShea]

We'll see if Rocco's little speech and the player's meeting do any good.  This could be just lip service.  I wish they would respect our intelligence and just go out there and perform.

[Winston Smith]

I wasn't expecting such a drastic shake up of the team after the Rocco rant.

Winner....I wonder if there is a schism at this point?

His rant has all the impact of a fly landing on a cotton ball.

Line up is all- right -left all the way down , usual Rocco move,

I don't think Rocco is willing to admit that he's doing things  poorly.  Too many we(s) and not enough I  (s) in his pressers.

Anyone ??   on game ??

Rain delay

[ashbury]

Weather delay, per mlb.tv.  Does this bit of rain help wash some smoke out of the air?  My reading of the AirNow map shows a little improvement.  My reading of the NWS forecast shows that the rain is moving out but more will arrive soon.

Correa leadoff is the big shakeup?  Ok....

Might have to watch Wallner hit more home runs for st paul like last game,   starts soon 

[strumdatjag]

Carlos Correa is leading off????   Why???

Since it’s a rain delay, I’m going to go see the poorly reviewed Indiana Jones movie.  The Twins have a better chance of being good.   But I’m a sucker, I guess with both!!! 

[CRF]

Well...did we flip the roster yet? Bring up the kids? Fire Rocco? Let Falvey and Levine go? That's what I thought. The rain is just about done in Balt, so we should get things under way relatively soon. 

[RickOShea]

I'm watching the Mauer/Morneau piece on Balley TV.  I've seen it many times before, but it still entertains me to listen to those 2 guys discuss hitting.  Not just hitting, but successful hitting.  It's not rocket science, but it definitely requires a lot of work mixed with some basic skills.

I don't know what I expected in the way of change, post Rocco-rant, but "minor rearrangement of deck chairs" wasn't in my thought process.

Falvey probably told him to 'cool it, with comments' or risk losing his Chevron card.

Less chance of him grounding into a double-play to start the game.  But this is Correa... i wont say the chances are zero.

It's what I predicted, alas.

More like a chasm? Falvey is the smartest guy in baseball, just ask him,  so he will he end up winning this battle.

...and Buxton 3rd. 

I had Reds/Padres game on. It was excellent. 5-5 in the 11th. Back and forth all game.

Doing net research w/game on radio -- Caribbean trip to Lesser Antilles in Jan for anniversary prior to the Winter trip to Arizona to chase college/HS hardball/softball.

Recommendations on islands accepted.

Correa is on 

[stringer bell]

Correa with an opening single—everything is all better.

Three batters in—maybe not.

Back to the  strike out rut.

[IndianaTwin]

Correa single -- woo-hoo, team meeting!
