    Kennys Vargas? Gone but playing. Hitting .297/.917 for Guadalajara in the Mexican League.

    Very, very well written Steven. These last two games have been the best games I have heard on radio all year. You betcha. Great divisional races coming up and excellent post-season series after those. Good ball this fall. Keep half an eye on Detroit. Won 4 in a row and Hinch has the relatively young team believing in themselves.

    Fielding average: 2022: .935 2023: .958

    If the purpose of hitting better hitters earlier in the lineup is to get men on on base, why in the world would you hit the leagues leading GIDP player 3-5? Is the marketing dept or baseball people in charge of lineup? Good grief.

    Spent the morning at the Univ of Minnesota Agri fields. Bud is a horticulturist out there, working on industrial hemp and sorghum (we squeeze it every fall for syrup). Come along. We also spent time with a plant geneticist who is working on crossing sweet corn until he gets 50/50, burgundy kernels/yellow kernels. Click on pics for narrative.

    Have the A's/Angels on MLB.com TV. Rooker hit a two-run bomb, pushing his OPS to .800. Also love the circus like atmosphere of Oak-Alameda stadium and the "open" bullpen, where the BP is right on the playing surface. Escobar is pinch hitting for the Angels. Hitting .231. Trevor May closed against Angels. Stats here: https://www.mlb.com/player/trevor-may-543507

    Amtrak is invariably late, coming thru the Dakota oil fields. BNSF owns the line which Amtrak runs on and the oil runs take priority. I have ridden Amtrak plenty of times and love rail travel. I just don't set my watch to Amtrak time like I could do on trains in Europe/Scandinavia. Don't park downtown. $16-20. Plenty of parking along Greenline (yes, it runs at all hours). Raymond stop, Lexington (my parking area), midway between Target Field and Union Station (last stop on Greenline). Park on side street north of University (~1100 block of Charles). 1/2 hour to Target; 20 min to Union Station. Give a yell here or message me if you have more questions. Ticket is good for 2 hours if you have to scoot out of game early.

    Danchat is referring to Buxton. From Strib's Miller: "Byron Buxton experienced soreness in the patella tendon of his right knee on Friday, and was removed from Saints' game after two at-bats as DH, a Twins spokesman says. Team will evaluate and update his condition on Saturday." Ouch.

    Donaldson to Brewers AAA Nashville. https://www.mlb.com/news/josh-donaldson-signs-minor-league-deal-with-brewers

    With a .958 compiled at short this year, maybe he goes to 2nd with Julien as an awfully young DH. I am afraid Polanco's wheels are finished. Let's see what rest of year brings.
  12. Dave Borton
    Lee isn't fielding a clean year at SS. He is fielding .958 at Wichita and StP.

    So much for LLynn helping the Dodgers. Have the game on radio, Atlanta/LA. Lynn got shelled for 6 ERs in 2 inn of work 60 pitches, 2 gopher balls. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. BP must be gassed -- Davey Roberts sent Lynn out for the 3rd.

    What surprises me is that they were sellers and now are buyers. I need to review their "sells" from Aug 1.

    Why do we cite our perception of other's being wrong? Present our case and leave it for others to decide. While I mean no disrespect to you, I have seen this occurring a bit too often recently. "The TD writers said..."

    I don't mourn the loss of one game. I begin to mourn when I realize that after Nov 4, we have no baseball for nearly 4 months. Now there is something to mourn,
  17. Dave Borton
    Thx, didn't realize that piece of the puzzle.
  18. Dave Borton
    Bingo. Got to agree. In 7 years of pro ball, most Ober has ever pitched is 92 inn. He is at 122 now. Rest a bit and get ready for post-season schedule.

    We need a picture of me eating crow on dumping Kepler. Since A/S break: 

    .319 .383 .609

    And midseason, I wanted Kepler dumped in a trade or DFA'd and made no bones about it.. Since All-Star break, .319 .383 .609 .992. BA/OBP/Slugging/OPS Boy howdy

    I am struck by a young man coming back from two ACL surgeries. Absolutely remarkable and shows a singular, focused dedication to a goal through unparalleled work ethic.
  22. Dave Borton
    Right. Lost some weight and they told him to lose the hair. I bet.
  23. Dave Borton
    I scrubbed the Miami Herald to see if they were discussing Aug's hitting or anything about his knees. Nada. No hay noticias.

    Moooook...!
