    Excellent observation. Multiple, in succession. Trades, signings, hires, and retention.

    I have lived in 10 metro areas. I have never seen less assertive writers than I have seen here. Needn't be rude but for heaven's sake, who has asked one hard question of bench mgr or FO office on the very issues we are raising here? Only Reusse does it from a rhetorical, sarcastic distance where the Twins needn't even respond. Weak sports press. Get Chip Scoggins into the FO and the clubhouse.

    I looked at their lineup on Tues eve. BAs and OPS. I shuddered and closed game day. Statcast, not Dickens: BA: Atl, .270, 2nd Twins .231, 25th OPS: All, .827 (first) Twins, .706 (21st)

    0-18 in last two games w/runners in scoring position. If this were an anomaly, I could live with it. But how often must this occur before there is responsibility assigned and accountability dealt with? Inexcusable.

    and Miranda goes yard on the 1st pitch, center. Boom !! Varland's first 22 pitches. 20 strikes. Then... Double, 3 walks, double. 4-1, Gwinnett.

    I used to listen to almost all the games. Now, I begin with the Twins but often shop MLB radio for another game -- a specific pitcher, favorite broadcasters or team matchup -- when the Twins start tanking a game or putting on their K-show. I keep GameDay on the Twins game to keep an eye on the boxscore.

    Changed that dial to KC/Cleve. Tito was not feeling well, KC staff attended him, and he was taken to the hospital. No further details. History is GI and blood-clotting.

    Box seats for Saints, Sat eve, 6p vs Gwinnett. Fireworks, Food Trucks, Keuchel. Boom!

      Keuchel confirmed for StP, Sat, Jul 1. Box seats.

    He is a filler in low leverage situations at best. Please don't use valuable in the same sentence with 'Pagan.' Misuse of stats to justify baggage. Same stuff Rocco does. Long relief needs to be consistent, predictable. Those are antonyms, not synonyms, of Pagan.

    I want to see what he has left in the tank and how crafty he might have become. I never have seen him pitch live and wish to add the notch to my belt. I called in to the Saints business office asking when Keuchel would be pitching. She said, "Hold and let me see if I can find out." About 5 minutes later, "Consensus over here seems to be Saturday nite, Gwinnett. But you know I can't guarantee that?" I said, "You tell Gardenhire I am getting box seats and if Keuchel isn't on the mound, I am coming down after the pig." Professional management/courtesy of an unusual request. ✔︎ Food truck rally and fireworks to follow. We live too well.

    Garver DH'ing for Rangers. 0-2, 2Ks. .246.

    June's quote of the month. Write it down.
  15. Dave Borton
    Just flipped off and turned to the Tigers/Rangers game. Can't deal w/GopherballPagan.
  16. Dave Borton
    I enjoyed Pete as well.

    Have Milo Hamilton and Ernie Johnson on the Atlanta radio booth. No, that's not right. They were on when I lived in East Central Alabama in the '70s. Tonite it's Jim Powell (former Twins radio in '90s) and Joe Simpson, former Royal and Angel.
  18. Dave Borton
    This is helpful, thanks. And I would agree, hyperbole can be employed, particularly when Kicuchi was completing 7 inn, kicking the A's collective butt.
  19. Dave Borton
    Have the Jays/A's game on. Kikuchi pitched 7.0 complete, 100 pitches. Toronto radio booth said Kikuchi's off-season training was pitching 200-300 pitch bull pen sessions, all off-season. Today's 100-pitch effort is a cakewalk for him. Describe a bullpen session for me. How in the heck can his arm take that, playing all year and subjecting it to that kind of wear and tear. TIA, strictly a sandlotter 3rd and 1st baseman. db

    'Atta boy Royce. Appoint him as Batting Coach and can the 3 with titles.
  21. Dave Borton
    Near collision. Once again, musical chairs lineup lends itself to this stuff, when someone ends up hurt.
  22. Dave Borton
    Seen on Twins Cities Craigslist. "4th batting coach needed. Preference given to coach who understands hitting singles, and can say it in English and Español. Has size 13 to bury in batter's butt if he fails to catch on. Comfortable with ignoring calls from FO."
  23. Dave Borton
    This stuff is the best when we have chances to discuss, not argue, face to face. Say over an IPA?
  24. Dave Borton
    I remember Jim Leyland smoking his Lucky Strikes in the dugout.

    I didn't see the praise in the article. Nor was any needed.
