Nine of twelve

Second base. Geez! Edit: ninja'd. Good job by wsnydes.

Great job, Rook! Hope we see you start again in another 5 days or so.

No. As I already said, he plays first base.

Well, of course he is. A lot of first basemen do that.

You must have met her when you had that job as a human cannonball. I understand that one day at work you got loaded and they fired you.

Inconsistent ball/strike calling today. Typical human back there.

We owe them an ambush from Friday night, or at least we did. Great inning!

No preference as long as they are below the knees.

Good to see Polanco barrel that one.

Why do we need some sort of tiebreaker? Why not just let it be a tie after 12? In terms of the standings it would count as half a win and half a loss.

The pitch clock may make the game faster, but does it make the game better? For me the answer is no.

I've always thought the design of the glove logo was clever, even if it is kind of '70's.

Second base.

Per Audra Martin on the Twins postgame show Josh Winder has been named the starter for tomorrow (5/1).

7.

Love the insurance this inning!!!

!

Doesn't appear that the substitution was for defensive purposes.

Our outfielders are carrying us today. And these are our #4, #5, and #6 outfielders. That's good, isn't it?

That's good. It protects you from the riff-raff.

Don't you have an understudy who can go on stage for you?

The defining talent of a good radio play-by-play baseball announcer is the ability to accurately and concisely describe the occurrences on the field in a way that the listener understands what happened. I think Cory Provus does a good job. I don't mind some of Dan Gladden's baseball insight and stories, but he never has had and never will have the necessary skill to do play-by-play. I wish Kris Atteberry would replace him in the booth. Herb Carneal and Vin Scully come to mind as the best when all things are taken into consideration, and it's kind of unfair to hold anyone to standards that high. And by the way, it doesn't hurt to have a good radio voice. (I can't stand listening to John Sterling because he works for the Yankees but he really has the pipes.)

You may call it shopping with the enemy but WinCraft is a Minnesota company, based in Winona.

Hello everyone, and welcome to tonight’s game thread. Tonight the good guys open their only series of the 2022 regular season at Tropicana Field vs the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays make their only appearance at Target Field beginning six weeks from tonight. I’m going to use the tried-and-true five-topic intro. 1. Humidors are being used to store game balls at all 30 MLB stadiums. I guess that’s fine, but wouldn’t it be easier and better to change the specifications of the ball to make this unnecessary? 2. The fewest wins for a team qualifying for the postseason in a full season was 82, done by the 1973 New York Mets. Could this be the year that a team with a losing record qualifies? Three weeks into this season the AL Central appears to be making a run at this dubious accomplishment. 3. Shameless promotion: the other day two of my kids and I patronized MetroNOME Brewery. Beyond the tasty beverages and congenial ambience, they have a great mission. https://www.metronomebrewery.com/ Moreover, the establishment is literally a stone’s throw (across the street) from CHS field. I encourage anyone who fancies a beverage before a Saints game to stop by. 4. Can the Timberwolves come back from the brink? Anyone who wishes to watch their game, or both their game and the Twins game, or bounce back and forth has my blessing. 5. Niccolo Paganini was the Giovanni Bottesini of the violin. Just to see what would happen, I used Google Translate to translate the above into Japanese and then back into English. Here’s the result. hello everyone. Welcome to tonight's game thread. Tonight, the good guys will be opening the only series of 2022 regular seasons at Tropicana Field vs. Tampa Bay Rays. Raise will appear in the target field from tonight for 6 weeks. Use an intro of five proven topics. 1. Humidor is used to store game balls in all 30 MLB stadiums. I think that's fine, but I think it's easier to change the specifications of the ball and make it unnecessary. 2. The New York Mets in 1973 had 82 victories for the teams participating in the full-season postseason. Is it the year that the team with the losing record qualifies? Three weeks after this season, AL Central seems to have achieved this suspicious outcome. 3. Shameless Promotions: The other day, my two kids and I patronized the MetroNOME Brewery. Beyond good drinks and a pleasant atmosphere, they have a great mission. https://www.metronomebrewery.com/ In addition, the facility is literally (on the other side of the street) just a stone's throw from the CHS Field. If you like drinks before the Saints game, be sure to stop by. 4. Can the Timberwolves come back from the brink? Anyone who wants to see their game, or both their game and the Twins game, or want to bounce back and forth, has my blessing. 5. Nicolo Paganini was Giovanni Bottesini on the violin. Go Twins!
