The half empty guy notes that we should beat a Witt-less Royals team 9 out of 10 times. The half full guy says TC has found many ways to lose a game like that in recent years. 
 

I’LL TAKE IT!

And the Yanks held on.

Seriously though, he has gone 3 1/3 scoreless since being acquired. That was his first ever MLB win. Hopefully he can have a breakout like Gomez did.

I'm sure he still wants to remain a starter.  But a steady MLB paycheck has some appeal to it too, versus starting at AAA.

[S Bart]

It should be noted that the relievers are performing. They did not even use Morris or Gomez. Hawkins seems to be doing a good job

Anderson's over the top delivery reminds me of old friend, flamed out prospect, Jared Balazovich.

Dobnak is scheduled to go tomorrow against Joe Ryan.  Twins typically roll over for former pitchers on their staff so idk how this is going to turn out.  Should be an easy Twins victory, but no victory is easy with this team.

EDIT:  My information was from ESPN.  I do see that MLB does not have a listed starter for tomorrow for the Royals so officially @S Bart would be right.

How many days is 6 feet?  I'm good with Metric to Imperial, but distance to time always throws me.

Holy moley, the Royce we've always dreamed about makes a return appearance!  What a clutch hit- I had given up, and went to make some pancakes, and heard the roar from the other room! 

And yikes, Audra rockin that cute jumper! 😃

Dimensional analysis is alive and well in the heart of the TD poster.

[Saxophone Joe]

Feel slightly vindicated that I didn’t get tickets to The Black Crowes concert tonight to instead watch my Twins 🤣…was second guessing the decision all game. 

[Mike Sixel]

It's good when they win. I'd like them to keep winning.

Read the link I posted. on Dobnak...

It will be curious to see who the Twins bring up if Buxton ends up going on the IL.  If they are convinced that Paredes is done for the season, they could move him to the 60-day IL and open up a 40-man spot for Culpepper or Jenkins (most likely Culpepper).  Realistically?  They bring back Gray because they are twitching without a LH batter at SS.

Ya. If they are really trying to win, it's Jenkins. But I'm guessing it's not. Also, he sits for like three games before they IL him, playing a guy short....
