There are situations where Ozempic and the like are valuable. Not for everyone however. It eats away at your muscle and it’s making the LA model types look like they’re sick.

Nats 6 Guards 3 (F)

It will always make me smile

Exactly. I think there's a lot of people who are using it when what they really need is an ED diagnosis.

I was watching that game before I realized this one had started.  It was satisfying that the Nats got out to a 4-run lead before the fans found their seats.

Willpower, and eating less, and staying active are elusive behaviors for most. They always work, though.

Runs, please.

Joe at 62 pitches after 5 innings.  Unless something blows up really badly, we should probably expect at least 7 innings from him tonight. 

Hopefully, even more.

Player decisions are usually collective discussions based on a specific criteria. Players are called up when they are deemed to be ready. Culpepper is working on being more selective/ laying off of pitcher's pitches (just now he hit into a DP on a pitch he should have taken). I'm not too worried about Culpepper. I think he will be up by mid June.

This could be Burke's last inning.  Let's make it a partial one.

For sure. Calories in and calories out no matter what you eat. If you’re obese and want to lose 50+ lbs that’s where Ozempic can come in handy. As far as I know, they become lifetime drugs to continue taking or else you’re at risk of adding on the weight quickly. Didn’t like that. I don’t need another monthly subscription when I can just choose to eat smaller portions.

Or not...

Looking good MR Ryan,  Twins need to go back to bringing a talented  player to the majors , used to do it quite a bit but now its all about service time and money,   other teams r doing alot of it ,  gotta take chances ,  A.A.A  is the worse place to develop players,   Hrbek  class A   KIRBY A.A.

He's looking the same as he did in the first

So what is the point of this board because everything discussed on here is being decided by the professionals.  According to you we should just trust them for everything and we should just shut up.  Just keep putting your thumbs down on every one of my posts if you don't agree with me.

a little off topic: Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Griffin Jax left his start against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night a few batters after being hit in the back by a line drive in the second inning.

Write them a letter and tell them how to do it correctly!

Joe Ryan career numbers:

1st half: 32-22 record - 80 starts - 463 innings - 3.23 ERA 

2nd half: 17-17 record - 45 starts - 235 innings - 4.71 ERA

That first half……. First half is 65% of baseball and the other half is…….

Agree completely.  However, for some of us (like myself), that's easier said than done, most of the time.

Who are the most likely relievers tonight?

I assume first half means until the AS break in baseball reference terms. Love Joe until about August then it’s a coin flip historically

You are kind of making my point for me, I know he has things to work on, but if you say mid June, how much can truly be improved in two weeks.

PFP - sweet.

Keep it up, Joe!

Ryan is pitching a masterpiece tonight.

Why not?

I care near zip about who is in AAA; after thinking Keaschall may be the real deal and finding out he is closer to Julien than De La Cruz or Witt Jr., I enjoy the game as is although I do enjoy watching the new wonder kids so many here go zonker over turn into yesterday's news.
