  1. Factoid: Duran has given up 6 HRs this year. Lance Lynn has given up 37.
  2. Saw Eddie Fayner (?) and the boys, Geneva NY (Single A, NY-P League), 1978.
  3. SRO on Monday vs Astros. 48,000 capacity. 4K seats avail Tues, 5K on Wed. Love to have that crowd.
  4. Donaldson to Brewers AAA Nashville. https://www.mlb.com/news/josh-donaldson-signs-minor-league-deal-with-brewers
  5. 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.
  6. Lee isn't fielding a clean year at SS. He is fielding .958 at Wichita and StP.
  7. 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.
  8. What surprises me is that they were sellers and now are buyers. I need to review their "sells" from Aug 1.
  9. 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..."
  10. I would settle for good, competitive ball however far Twins go.
  11. 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,
  12. I would do it for baseball, not just a particular club, ie Twins. I will go anywhere for a game, and I have. Traveled the whole Midwest via Amtrak for a series of 6 games. Find a good restaurant, a nice bar, a great sightline at Target Field, surrounded by super friendly fans. Depends on whether your needs are for a Twins win or an experience.
  13. The fat person has sung. (Or as my daughter would correct me, "Dad, it is the thick person has sung.")
  14. Yeah, understand our difference and mine is respectfully against the main drift here. I just have no confidence in BP right now that needs to be factored in.
  15. Still old school (understand day off/rested BP). Were I Rocco, I would have gone down and chatted w/Gray and asked him what was left in the tank. Bet that Francona would have, even if it were to congratulate Gray. (Rocco well may have done that. Doubtful though).
  16. 81 pitches. Back onto the mound, Rocco.
  17. Wallner. I don't have video. Just before Wallner came up, tons of comments on how poor his fielding was (w/rocket arm). In listening to games on radio, I don't "hear" that poor fielding. Your perceptions on his fielding?
  18. Gladden's brilliant statement at the moment Lupow pinch hit for Gallo: "That's one of the toughest decisions a manager has to make." Irony: Sending up a guy who is 0-last 13, pinch hitting for a guy who is 0-last 17. Aw, Danny,,,
  19. After this year, the "Gallo Line" will redefine and replace the Mendoza Line in baseball lexicon. GL = .170 ...and we were here to follow it. A future for you -- to tell your grandkids.
  20. About what year did skipping from short become common place?
  21. Thx, didn't realize that piece of the puzzle.
  22. 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.
  23. We need a picture of me eating crow on dumping Kepler. Since A/S break:
