    I agree that Duffey has been scrod out of a win. That said, relief pitcher wins are among the most unimportant stats in the game.

    Actually, the job requires skill and loads of baseball-watching experience.

    Yesterday at work there were a few millenials who couldn't remember the name of the actor who portrayed James Tiberius Kirk. I guess I'm just getting old.

    Tonight we tripled the size of our lead over the Clevelands. I'll take it.

    In 2009 Mauer was the best baseball player in the world. Rodriguez was never that.

    There's an inside story to using that painting that I won't share here.

    Could you please edit this so it makes sense?

    Whew!

    I noticed right away what Dick pointed out. The RF did not budge from his position on Kepler's blast.

    If the Rangers had told the Twins they were going to stop trying to win the game then the Twins would also have stopped trying and Rocco would have told Cave not to try to get a hit. But since that didn't happen Cave was justified in doing what he did. And the Rangers' pitcher and manager should have been ejected

    Dick just said he also drew a walk!

    How can you post these choices and omit the most important choice in history? Ginger or Mary Ann? (As everyone knows, the answer is yes. Or both.)

    I would think Bremer would treasure his days off.

    Not Adrianza.

    I'm going to add one point to this discussion. That point: it's only a game. This is not to discount the passion (or joy, or frustration) that many fans feel, but this is not something to be angry about. It was during the 1986 season when I came to the realization that how the Twins did on a given day made a difference in my life. And that was not good. I convinced myself just to enjoy baseball for the great sport that it is and not let a bad loss make me grumpy. And while I was enthusiastically overjoyed in 1987 this point of view helped me stay even-keel during the 1990's and 2010's. And yesterday. We have a team that is worth watching. That is more than I need, and any achievements that the team accomplishes from here on out is even more of a bonus.

    Past postseason performance should probably not be factored in to this discussion. How the Twins did in 2010 and before is 100% irrelevant because there is no player on the 2019 team that was on the team in 2010 and before. The one game in 2017 was a very small sample size and this year, if we qualify for the postseason, the most important player on game day, namely the starting pitcher, will not be Ervin Santana. I think the Twins have a very good chance of qualifying for this year's postseason. And even though I doubt we will win the World Series this year the franchise is taking significant steps to being in a position to contend for the postseason every year. That's the goal.

    It didn't look like that to me. In saying this I'm not drawing any analogy with the current Twins' season. I didn't like this video because I don't enjoy watching a fellow human being incurring what appears to be a serious injury.

    When there is one out with a tie score in the bottom of the ninth you send the runner only if it would take a perfect play to get him. If the runner would be out on an average play you hold. Holding the runner makes it second and third with one out. Many, if not most, visiting managers will order an IBB or order the pitcher not to throw strikes in case the batter swings at pitches that are difficult to hit. Then you've got bases loaded, the infield and outfield play in, maybe with five infielders, and your odds are good. It is easy to see in retrospect that it was a major mistake by Diaz to send. It requires a certain skill to be able to read that play correctly and it seems that he may not possess that skill.

    A random fan outside Gate 34. Or maybe not so random.

    I hope he is not, and I hope the reason he is not is that we are well ahead in the ninth inning.

    Tall oaks from little a Crons grow. Or something like that.

    What more can one say?

    Noteworthy note about Gibson's night just being discussed by Dicknbert - 12 ground outs, 3 (now 4) K's and only 2 fly outs.

    WCCO is west of the Mississippi. By maybe a mile or so.
