    Have Phillies on radio. The radio feed is at least two minutes behind GameDay. Harper has gone deep twice, 7-1 Phils.

    Nick, what excellent writing. Though I knew the outcome for Gray, the article was a "page turner" and kept me engrossed. Your quote above says it all about the "boys of summer," and the game in which they engage. Unpredictable ... and also kind of predictable at the same time. I first played 70 years ago and I find that despite the years, baseball still grasps and holds me captive In its 4-seam grip. Unpredictable. Thanks for the writing.

    You mean Sonny. Put the wake up call in for Joe tomorrow.

    I don't disagree but I think both of our points are two factors which will go into very, very complex business and influence (back curtain relationships among owners) factors which will make up the decision.

    Maybe you are referring to Sunday? All other times are posted. https://www.mlb.com/postseason

    With gate revenue contributing 30% of total revenue, it's easy to see what drives their decision. I feel for those who have tickets when they have to dance around such corporate decisions.
  7. Dave Borton
    It's a business/revenue issue. Postseason was expanded to drive revenue. However, it the lower seeds advance, revenue is threatened. I don't expect any change next year because of the existing small sample set. But as MLB expands, there will be a more sufficient data set on which to make that business decision.

    MLB and advertisers would weep.

    Yeah, I checked Vegas odds. I don't remember a year when odds were so stacked. Yet as you point out, favorites are really struggling.

    Lived in Tampa for 20 yrs. This whole concept is a boondoggle.

    For my tastes, that always occurs with 3 in the booth. Can't comment otherwise; had ESPN Radio on. Not a Dan G fan. Eduardo Perez was doing color and I enjoy him.

    Phrase of the month. TD should put a sticky on the phrase!
  13. Dave Borton
    Thank you. In the past, I have emailed the Twins to lose that phrase on the electronic board. So lame.

    Sure, a symphony warming up. Voices at a protest. A bad piece of art with noisy, inappropriate clashes. Our congregation chanting the psalm (grins). And "reign?" He already had the Twins in mind for reigning champs of the World Series. All good.

    Scene: Wrigley Field 5 yrs ago, 3rd inn. I am running for beers while my bud keeps mental notes. I came back and crowd was doing a standing-O and going wild. "What did I miss," as I spilled some beer in an effort to hasten my arrival back at the seat. "Cubs got them for a double play," he grinned and responded. We knew we weren't at Target Field. In my visits to about 18 ballparks, the ring around the Great Lakes has the quietest crowds: Toronto, (Buffalo - AAA, my origin), Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, and here. At the other end of the spectrum, LA, Atlanta, St Louis -- all make us seem like we are hoarse. However, attending game one against Toronto, I thought I was back at Dodger Stadium or Busch.. We rose to the occasion. I suggest that we are responders here, not generators. Let's see what the next two games bring.

    I continue to marvel at the years Farmer and Castro have had. Both offer extreme utility in a multiple variety of roles. Quite a $3.8MM bargain for the Twins.
  17. Dave Borton
    That stretch by Kiriloff on the throw from Correa was phenomenal. Overshadowed by the play by Correa .
  18. Dave Borton
    Who called that bunt with Lewis as runner from 3rd base? Guy is getting over a hamstring injury and call a play which requires heavy exertion on that leg? Crazy call.
  19. Dave Borton
    I would have had to begun anticipating an hour before to have made it. My wife would tell you the same thing <winks>.
  20. Dave Borton
    Fights over season tix at Thanksgiving are far superior to political and religious arguments.
  21. Dave Borton
    Tell me about it. I missed Correa's throw to the plate to nail Bichette. Everyone in front of me stood up and these 75 yr old legs and hips couldn't react as quickly. Young whipper snappers. 😉 I didn't mind a bit. Place had the energy that I have only witnessed at Wrigley.. Great crowd.
  22. Dave Borton
    I as well. I like Kershaw not only for ball but all the. humanitarian work he and his wife both do in off-season.
  23. Dave Borton
    I turned it on the radio when I went to bed. Had an image of Kershaw: .

    I was way up in 320 with a lot of great Canucks from Saskatoon. Does that count?
  25. Dave Borton
    Oofdah. Take it easy on us NB wearers. We are a might thin skinned.
