  1. Between the fire sale of July and the pending end of the CBA/lockout of '27, off-season trades of Lopez and Ryan seem to be part of a plan to lower costs and position Twins for a sale.
  2. Jon Heyman reports that the Cubs have signed Santana. Other reports indicate that Santana asked for release so as to play for a contender. https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs-pick-up-veteran-carlos-santana-days
  3. Will be listening in to see all of what I don't know about Bradley.
  4. "I like this team more aggressive than not-aggressive..." Tingler makes a suggestion and all of a sudden it's like someone turned on a flashlight in the middle of the night in an Arizona desert. His whole meandering logic defies a rationale approach to the game; like a switch being flipped. To me, he seems ______________________ in this season ___________ under his leadership (sic).
  5. Who has been to the Rangers park? Impressions?
  6. He is relegated to an afterthought, just like Trout. Never see WS.
  7. Kepler sighting. Mets, Phillies is a good game, 3-3 in the 5th, on MLB.TV free game.
  8. Roster spot opens now. Suggest we have a lottery from those who post on this thread. Winner gets to name his/her own position Have to have your own glove (no softball mitts) and spikes. Joe didn't want to spring for those.
  9. Schedule for '26 gets released tomorrow and will include FOD date. Has been a lottery system in the past.
  10. After the game, tune into MLB's free game, Cincinnati/LAD. Will be a good game. LAD's bats have cooled since Allstar break. Hunter Greene will be pitching for Reds. See what the Twins passed over for Royce Lewis: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/greenhu01.shtml
  11. Best odds out of Vegas seem to disagree: Twins: +115 Jays: -137 Ryan will hold his own but the pen will cave.
  12. Grew up 90 miles from Toronto. Wonderful city to visit with tons to see in addition to Scherzer and Berrios (always cringed when Terry Ryan mispronounced Jose's name). https://thedanaedition.com/travel/traveldestinations/north-america/canada/a-locals-guide-the-best-things-to-do-in-toronto-canada/
  13. Scapegoats. Herd animals at the bottom. Always several from whom to pick. Similar to my time in the corporate world. The top seems to always prepare in advance to single out someone on whom to project blame. Falvey will find someone this Fall. Rocco, get ready, though I shan't miss you.
  14. I have listened to the Padres/Dodgers series last weekend and this weekend. Great ball/competition.
  15. Cincinnati Reds. Relatively young, scrappy team, Greene, Francona, great radio booth.
  16. I was in the service for 4 very long years and to this day, will not wait in line for anything. Well, maybe TSA...
  17. I watch a lot of college ball when we snowbird in Arizona during winters. I don't believe I ever have seen that physical batting strength that Jenkins has in watching all the sophomore/junior ballplayers in college ball.
  18. Had 5 Davids in my 2nd grade class. Get up and change the channel? Can remember when we got our first TV! Didn't have to go to my Uncle's any longer to watch TV or run home after school to watch World Series at my friend's house after school. Picture rolling horizontally...and then vertically... Gunsmoke and Amos and Andy on the radio and then on TV.... Yep.
  19. Take the tubes out of the TV, go to the drug store, and use that machine to test the tubes.
