    They are after eyeballs. Eyeballs drive revenue. Quite frankly, I find MLB.com good at keeping me abreast of the width of the teams/games/league as my interest is baseball first and twins 2nd. I enjoy it. I come to TD for Twins depth.

    6'3" SS. Sheesh. Will he remain at short? https://www.mlb.com/news/marek-houston-twins-first-pitch?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Pounding the ball down in Florida just as did at Wake Forest. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=housto000mar

    Reds 4-0 after 6. Skenes probably finished. 97 -69 pitches, 7 hits, 8 Ks.

    My landing page is http://mlb.com. From there, players I follow are featured right below the lead 2-3 stories. I click on their image and it takes me to their stats. I admit that most of my research is on http://baseball-reference.com. Upcoming games are listed at the top on the same page. I can go right to "preview" or "story." I chose the game/s I am going to listen to that eve based on starting pitchers, announcers (I only do radio via MLB), and competitiveness of game. Hope that is responsive to questions posed. db

    Helps if I could spell Skenes correctly. I can't even blame auto-correct.

    From the MiLB CBA: "In making this Agreement, the Association represents that it contracts for and on behalf of all players employed by a Club and signed to a current Minor League Uniform Player Contract, but excluding players who (i) are members of the Association’s existing bargaining unit of Major League players (i.e., players on a 40-man roster of a Major League Club or on one of its Major League injured or other inactive lists)..."

    No, MiLB is not under the MLB CBA. It has its own CBA which runs through the 2027 season. https://www.mlbplayers.com/_files/ugd/4d23dc_0a4c30c6387a4d8dbbf1707e7c4d6e2c.pdf

    Reds/Pirates, Singer/Skeenes. Singer is avg 1k/inn, Reds have been playing good ball. Love Francona. Should be a good game. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/reds-vs-pirates/2025/08/07/776840/preview

    Transplant issue. When I attended Single A games, you would hear the loyalty issues as guys would argue their hearts out about Yanks/Mets/Boston preferences. Miami is the larger puzzle for me. With the amount of Cubans and their descendants (rabid fans of the game), the Florida Marlins have never been able to cash in on that natural relationship with the ethnic group.

    I lived in Florida for over 16 years. St Pete Dump (warehouse). Politics are difficult between both sides of the bay. No one wants to pony up for the stadium. Traffic over the Kennedy or Gandy bridges is impossible. Transplants keep their loyalty to the Mets/Yanks/Guardians/Reds so that little is left for Ray/Marlins. Secondly, there is a ton of other leisure distractions in Florida. On a glorious day, last place I want to be is inside the Tampa Warehouse. When we lived down there, I took in Single A ball. I felt the competitive nature of the game and the hunger of the kids at that level was a value.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/magazine/tampa-rays-stu-sternberg-baseball.html?unlocked_article_code=1.cU8.OoIe.TP_xkZu7QkCh&smid=url-share (Free article from NYTimes). Great summary of how the Rays manage to win it yet can't draw fans. "Since April 2008, only two teams, the Yankees and the Dodgers, have won more games. At one point, this poorly supported, low-revenue franchise managed to win 860 games over the course of a decade — that is, it averages 86 wins a season while playing in the same division as the Yankees, Red Sox and Blue Jays. “What they do down there, I think, is very special,” says Rocco Baldelli, the Minnesota Twins’ manager, who played and coached for the Rays. “Not just in baseball, but in the world of sports and even business.”

    MLB reports he has joined the club in Detroit

    Agree. 6';9", 30 yrs old, steroid for both impinged hips? Problems are going to compound.
  15. Dave Borton
    Thanks.

    Yanks sign Kenta Mazda to MiLB contract. https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees-sign-kenta-maeda-to-minor-league-contract If I understand DFA'd contract provisions correctly, who is on the hook for that $12,000,000? Yanks? https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/player/_/id/18451/kenta-maeda

    Your title, where has the time gone I had that feeling when I looked up Pressley's stats: he is 37 years old. Good grief, where did the time go?
  18. Dave Borton
    Town ball?
  19. Dave Borton
    Plantar fasciitis is a horrible nag. Would be surprised if it doesn't revisit its wrath upon him.
  20. Dave Borton
    Throw in Red Barber or Vin Scully and it's a deal.
  21. Dave Borton
    Windsurge play by play announcer.
  22. Dave Borton
    Shop Atteberry for a small transistor radio and fresh batteries. Forget the batteries if they balk on the deal.
  23. Dave Borton
    Charlie Morton starts tonite for Tigers.
  24. Dave Borton
    Intentionally or unintentionally?
  25. Dave Borton
    Today or before he is DFA'd?
