    I don't buy the argument that 10 extra minutes of commercials before the game are a big revenue generator. The broadcasters can just charge 2% more for the commercials between innings to make up for it. The advertisers will not pause for a moment before agreeing to that.

    We don't need this many bleeping commercials while waiting for a 7:15 start. All games should start at 5 minutes after the half hour. The announcers can say hi, welcome to the game, go through the lineups and batting orders, and play ball. Fewer worthless commercials and the game finishes 10 minutes earlier. Win/win!

    For the Twins and the majority of MLB teams September is fall training. Rotating more pitchers into games with shorter stints is just like spring training. It gives the young-uns some game experience and it lets the manager, coaches and FO take a look at them in game conditions.

    Two fun wins in a row!

    Big catch for a big out!

    And the manager has the luxury of managing like it's a no-hitter.

    When you're up by one run you have to pitch like it's a 1-run game. When you're up by three runs you have the luxury to pitch like it's a no-hitter.

    Do you have documentation to support this assertion or are you just pulling it out of your @$$?

    OK, pitching staff, you've got your run. Man up and make a name for yourselves.

    Or, I guess it's more correct to write pitchers' duel.
  12. Nine of twelve
    So does this count as a pitcher's duel?

    Now that was an interesting play.

    I think the Twins will keep him on the 40-man because he'll be gone on the first pick in rule 5 (assuming he's eligible). I doubt he'd be the 25th player if Castro and Garver are healthy next spring but he's too valuable to jettison.

    There always have been and always will be a few late-season call-ups who do well. But for every one of them who succeeds there will be some Joe Bensons and Chris Parmelees. We all hope Astudillo can become a real major leaguer, but it's still too soon to start planning around him.

    I didn't watch any of either opener games, but here's what I like about it in the Twins' current situation. As is true with most teams at this time of year, we are in fall training. Out of fairness to the game, teams need to try to win when facing an opponent that is in the running for the postseason. But the rest of the games should be devoted to player development. When it comes to pitchers, it's a lot like spring training. The decision about who pitches should be made in large part based on whom the manager, coaches, and front office want to evaluate and prepare for the future. That means shorter appearances by some pitchers so that others get a chance to get in to games.

    It appears that the National League will have the better record in interleague play this season. Currently the NL has a 144-127 record with 29 games to go. If this holds up it will be only the fifth time in 22 seasons of interleague play and the first time since 2003 that this has happened.

    When in doubt Chief's age is always a good topic.

    3-base error or the scorer is crazy.
