This team is more fun to watch than I thought they’d be, but they are not a playoff team.

Did you just post this on bluesky also? I'm repeating myself there...

What a pathetic display of baseball tonight. When’s the last time this team hit a home run?

If we’re talking pro labor here, I would want the majority of baseball players to make millions of dollars based on merit. Once they hit service time milestones they’re eligible for higher salaries. 

Agreed. Lets have salaries. Specified per labor agreement.

 

You know, like every actual labor union tries to negotiate. 

Not a system where you get the benefits of labor union collective bargaining AND individual salary bargaining.

I noticed him rubbing his beard while pitching. .foreign substance maybe 🤔 

I had to think about that, and somehow I ended up with pine tar on my keyboard

Probably not, but tonight is one game. They're not out of anything yet.

Yes. Haha I should stay on one platform. 😅

at least I didn’t contradict myself.

Rojas puts a lot of hitters on base, but they rarely seem to score.

[Church of Kreidler]

Holy smokes!!! Rojas and Kreidler getting out one of KC's fastest runner!!!

[Vanimal46]

Lane Thomas within seconds of getting hit in the twig and berries in the on deck circle

One thing to think about...America glorifies sports...high priority for many...people buy clothes with names of their players...spend hard earned money on tickets..NFL streaming...etc...so it is somewhat challenging to fault the players when many people go all out to support this cultural entity...hard pressed for any of us to admit that we would not attempt to get a max salary for a relatively short period in our lives as a pro athlete

Hats off to you, Dobnak! 

 

 

Now, c'mon guys, kick the **** out of their bullpen!

Or maybe not.

Bats have generally been pretty quiet since the ASG.  That's a concern for this team because, quite often, it seems like either everyone is hitting or no one is hitting.  Very little in between. 

Right now, no one is hitting.  UGH!

It sure would be nice to be a winning team instead of an under .500 team “in the hunt” 

[HarmonK03]

That was a great play by Keaschall to back up Roden to keep Tolbert at second, Roden needs to take notes.

Pay for quick food joints has been in the mid teens since the oughts in the Twin Cities area, mostly due though to, kids today do not want to do manual labor.

My apprentice son out doing electrical rough in in garages in this heat would say:

As far as I am concerned...it would  be American football...especially the Vikings...think about the hopeless seasons dating back to Tarkenton and beyond...just keep blowing that horn Man in Viking Customer

Been quite a while.  As is the case when no one seems to be hitting.

But in these dark and distressing times... I need any distraction I can get 😵‍💫

Where can you find bluesky?

[The Great Hambino]

Rough stretch for Lane Thomas - take one in the pills on the on deck circle, then have your RBI robbed from you by your own teammate

3.5 runs per game and that is with 10 and 11 runs in a couple games.

What i miss?

Not too late for the epic comeback, ami?
