I hope Jeffers is okay.

He’s still in the game, but you can see how red his neck is. Gonna be a nice bruise

I get it that Kepler has had a nice hot stretch, but how long of a leash would you give him? How long of a leash do you think the Twins will give him? I feel like he was a week away from being replaced by Wallner, and then he decided to hit... It was like when my Dad and I would go fishing while I was growing up, we would be on the lake, in the same spot for 4 hours, baking in the heat, with no bites, about to leave, and then he would get one small bite from a  fish and we'd stay for another 4 hours.... with no fish in the boat at the end.

I hope we win tonight, sweeping the Royals, and then they have a closed door team meeting, and a players only meeting, and turn it around playing the Guardians this weekend

Intermittent reinforcement.

Be quite a player's meeting if they can get the schedule changed.

 

Edit. Oh, the Royals.

At this moment, only 24 Twins games after the All-Star break are against teams over .500. Arguably they've given up the fewest runs in the majors against one of the toughest schedules.

I forgot! Can I have some of your winnings?

No. Because I didn’t buy any, either

Sigh. My one chance!

I debated running out and getting some, then decided not to … so someone will win it tonight. Always happens when I think about it and decide not to.

Who bought powerball tix today?

Not me. But on behalf of the future winner and local retailers everywhere, I’d like to thank those that did.

Now how are you going to pay that tab for all of those blizzards we got?

Btw, threads sucks. You see every post by every person, as far as I can tell. 

When I first tried Twitter back in its early days, someone told me to follow everyone, so I did. It drove me nuts and I decided I disliked Twitter. Never got into it after that and still dislike to this day it but for other reasons. But I do check in on a few selective follows, but mostly I don’t bother
