A thought just occurred to me. It is now September, which now means no matter how bad Ryan Presley may implode, there is pretty much no chance that we end up sending him back to the Red Sox.

 

Rule 5 winner!

I am never paying for mlb.tv again. Thankfully Comcast is giving me free extra innings ... not sure why ... not asking.

 

I think this is only the second time I've had problems and I've probably tuned into at least 100 games so I can't complain even though is a critical game in the Twins run to finishing .500 for the season.

I really never have problems with my MLBTV, however there isn't much air traffic around here come to think of it.

What a day ... and I come home to this ...

 

 

 

 

Take that as you will. I am neither an 'apologist' nor a 'cynic' so perhaps it just is what it is.

Heh ... did you see Pinto signaling to Doumit to slide? No mistakin' that ... apparently someone has learned how you do it.

Just like we've all been sayin', Plouffe-sie has really stepped up this year.

Where is Camp Olson? Near Rochester?

 

No, up north ... not far from Park Rapids just outside a small town, Longville, MN, on Little Boy Lake. We did canoe trips and whatnot.

Can we get a little more clarity on "whatnot?"

I just heard Bremmer say Ryan Pressly and his 5.7 K/9 was a power arm.

 

Sometimes I get the feeling that Dick doesn't actually consult with the team regarding propaganda talking points, I get the feeling that Dick is actually the mastermind. Can I call Bremmer the Joseph Goebbels of the Twins organization without implying the Pohlad's are Hitler? Because I wouldn't feel comfortable going that far.

How could you not see that hit that guy?

 

He might have ruled that the batter didn't make an effort to get out of the way, which means the ball is dead and the pitch is a ball (or a strike, if it was in the strike zone.) I've never seen it called that way in MLB before, but I have called it in lower level leagues if someone leaned into it. MLB hitters are usually pretty subtle about it, and it doesn't require a good effort, just an effort.

That would be equally as crazy, not even close.

Some biting Dick analysis: "Starter Pedro Hernandez got 14 outs...and the bullpen will get the rest of 'em."
