I invented the internets. That ****** AL Gore stole my idea.

JHFC xBa is garbage. Gallo 2nd home run was 0.750. 

Also Jeff Hoffman, old friend, would be handy to still have around.

Today's social poll:

You have a choice between Burger King and McDonald's. 

Which do you choose?

McDonald's for me. I like the burgers a little better, and the fries at BK are the WORST.

Hahaha.

Also not a "ball in play."

I'm going to do a deep dive and report back on all the stats that use xBa so we can disregard them with impunity.

Odds on  Gallo   4  hit night,   Powerball might be better,  Nice job Joey

BK…I actually like their regular (small) burgers and their fries better than McD’s.

I wonder if east coast BK fries are better than other parts of the country, or something. I also like BK fries.

 

And usually i choose between them and Wendy's.

…In 2006…playing for the Henderson NV Little League Aces…back end of a double-header against the Henderson Lakers…4HR and 2K in an 18-15 W.

Baseball Reference is amazing.

Extra outs...

The only burger McDonalds ever had that I thought was truly tasty was the Big N' Tasty from a decade ago, darn good burger.

So that's a "BK" then?

Yes sir.

How good they are truly depends on the location; Waaay back 40 or so years ago, I got one in Duluth, Mn that was  exceptional: truly toasted bun , meat so hot first bite tongue dance to avoid burn , it was as good as the best home made grilled burger I have ever had.

[Blyleven2011]

Centerfield defense was amazing ....

Twins win , matinee game tomorrow  ...

Would be nice to have the momentum  and win this series ...

We also picked up a game on Cleveland  ...

Gallo and Kepler remind of the glory days of Cruz and Sano, only these boys went to finishing school instead of doing the Mo' Money monkey  scoop at the dugout.
