    Humans suck at calling balls and strikes.

    I know this was 33 years ago, but this is why Portland is not a viable site for a MLB franchise. The population is simply too low.

    Former Twin David West passed away today due to brain cancer. This is his most memorable performance to me: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIN/MIN199006230.shtml My wife and I went to this game on our first date. He threw 6 no-hit innings before Bo Jackson led off the 7th with a single. And the rest is history.

    And what is the chance of that happening? Less than 3% if you ask me.

    So if Lewis is not the shortstop of the future which player should be playing shortstop for the Twins in 2023? IMHO any awkwardness is likely due to him not playing for the last two years. I think playing shortstop every day will go a long way to dealing with this perceived problem.

    It certainly is understandable to want Lewis to be on the major league roster this season, but the most important thing (by far, IMHO) is his continuing development. That means he should be playing shortstop every day because that's what he will be doing for the next ten years, maybe longer, hopefully for the Twins the entire time. Most teams would probably have him playing shortstop in the majors right now, but as long as one of the best shortstops in the world is on the active roster that won't happen. If the FO determines that Lewis is ready to be a full-time major league shortstop now then perhaps a trade involving Correa should be explored so we can get good value in return before he presumably opts out after this season. Correa's contract for this year includes a limited no-trade clause. I don't know the exact terms of that but that changes to a full no-trade clause next year. Trading Correa this year therefore protects the team in the unlikely event Correa does not opt out, for example due to serious injury or significant underperformance on the field.

    This is the game that came to my mind but I didn't dare post it until this one ended. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CLE/CLE200108050.shtml I'll never forget seeing Lou Piniella's face in about the 8th inning or so. It was the most sour look I've ever seen on a person. He knew what was going to happen and he knew that it would happen no matter what he did. BTW, no major league team has ever won a game after trailing by 13 runs.

    If he doesn't stay in the game too long...

    And by the way, the jerseys are backwards tonight. Should be Twins blue, In..., er, Guardians red.
  10. Nine of twelve
    Jax in good position to get the vulture win tonight.
  11. Nine of twelve
    Makes me wonder what we could get for Correa in a trade. (Only partly joking.)
  12. Nine of twelve
    What fairy tale is this that is being broadcast instead of the Twins game?
  13. Nine of twelve
    Jeffers up with two men on. Would it be too much to ask...?
  14. Nine of twelve
    Wow! And to think this inning had a GIDP in the middle of it!

    Your Vegas is showing through.

    I don't disagree, but look what happened in 1899: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1899_Cleveland_Spiders_season I wouldn't want my team associated in any way with that. Plus, in this day and age it was to the team's advantage to find a name with the least amount of potential copyright infringement issues, no matter how lame is the name. BTW, that's also how we end up with nicknames like Wind Surge and Mighty Mussels.

    And how many times in your life have you actually swallowed Scotch? As for me, it's about 3 times, none of which has happened in the last 40 years or more.

    Just now able to chime in. I was in the car for the first part of the game, listening to Cory and Dan on CCO. I've made no secret about my opinion about Gladden's inability to do play-by-play, but when Franmil Reyes was at the plate for his first AB they were talking about how he was performing this year. (He is striking out way more than just about everyone.) Gladden reviewed some of his stats and said, "He's not doing much for you other than looking good in a uniform." LOL, literally.

    I wouldn't trust medical advice given by a TV announcer. It's up to the team doctors and trainers to advise the manager and GM about what a player should and shouldn't do when dealing with an injury..
  20. Nine of twelve
    Yes. No two cases are exactly the same and therefore no two cases are handled exactly the same.

    Phew! Fortunately I was able to negate Squirrel's negation of ash's reverse jinx. You're welcome.

    Rookie mistake by Celestino. Hope it doesn't cost us.
  23. Nine of twelve
    And so it begins. Maybe it would be best for me to avert my eyes.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Oh no! You've just negated the reverse jinx! Now Pagan is going to lose the game for us!
