    I have heard Falvey, Jr Joe, and Baldelli. Not once were there direct admission of dismal offense and its impact on the record to date. Oh, Baldelli went on a rant but there wasn't one statement about "We will do X to correct J, I am working with Y to rectify K, and you can hold me accountable and for correcting Z by doing L. Nothing.

    Today's score. 10 ddays of drying on bird feeder hook, clean 'em up and share w/bud and daughter. Largest get saved for planting.

    Same w/my corn (35% germ). I had to find another sh2 variety, shorter maturity to plant within it. Going to plant yellow peas at the end of July in area of just-dug garlic. Gets nitrogen back in soil; other half of garlic bed will be field peas (black eye peas) which are really good and productive. Use them like steamed green beans.

    Wife has family in Kristiansand, Oslo, Ramsdal (summer home only accessible by row boat), and Tønsberg. Where you headed? For my money, Norway is the most gorgeous place on earth. Loved, loved, loved Bergen.

    If you are in Metro Area, Hugo Feed Mills have pepper plants. This year he had 403 varieties. https://www.hugofeedmill.com/peppers-tomatoes/

    Just harvested 50 garlic with 3 RIP because of wild spade. Oh well. Chesnook Red are very nice - about 4 yrs with same seed, larger every year. Bud 16. Picked the variety up at Garlic Festival in Hutchinson last August. Gorgeous, large. Mine are gorgeous, medium. Not my soil. Tested. Not the moisture. Watered 1" per week. Side dressed with alfalfa and bone meal. My friend teaches at UM Ag School. Let him play detective. Will be ordering some Korean Red and Georgian Fire from Keene. I have bought from them in the past and was very pleased. https://keeneorganics.com/product-category/certified-organic/ Bud said buy local (not at Johnny's i.e. too far away). Garlic like regional brothers and sisters.

    OT: Went with sweet potatoes this year. 5 of us guys compete with a different veggie/crop every year, all using same seed/cuttings. My Murasakis lookin' fine. https://www.ufseeds.com/product/murasaki-purple-sweet-potato-slips/SPMP.html

    Question for the group: The former GM of Rockies who was on night one said about some 6'5" CF: "With that size, long term will move to right." Is he suggesting that on the downside of age 27 he will slow down? Is that true for most athletes or is he talking about any 6'5" CF?

    Since I lived in Florida for 20 yrs, have to follow the Wildcat. I can't keep up w/14 guys -- Brother Seth keeps me up to speed.

    Headed out to the garden to dig my garlic and do some weeding. Phone/MLB.com in my back pocket for coverage of day 3. I like Zion Jones, C, High school, Florida. Why him? Like his name. MLB script says CF or C. https://www.mlb.com/video/2023-draft-zion-rose?t=mlb-draft

    No. Yanks are betting on his known personableness and approachability from what I read.
  13. Dave Borton
    Good catch. I just assumed based on watching their football program. Goes to show...
  14. Dave Borton
    Absolutely. Imagine walking to the mound in the 1st and thinking, "I wonder if we are going to get skunked again -- so sick of this shutff."

    Devlin, a couple of ideas 1) Based on his own experience, what advice would he give to draftees who sign with the Twins? What would benefit them the most as they transition from amateur to pro ball? 2) If he had to do it all over again, what would he have done differently as a pro ballplayer? 3) What was his biggest surprise as he made the transition from amateur ball to pro ball?

    Yanks found (had) their man. Sean Casey: Sean Casey hired by Yanks. Probably greased before former batting coach was canned: "Casey, who has no previous coaching experience, has spent the past 15 seasons as a studio analyst for MLB Network. The choice echoes the hiring of Boone, who had never coached or managed at any level before being installed as manager prior to the 2018 season...."' https://www.mlb.com/news/sean-casey-yankees-hitting-coach-hire

    Bethune Cookman Div III. Not sure how tough opposition was but scout surely was familiar with it. Lots of unearned runs relative to total ERs in Santos' stats. Some sloppy ball. Threw two games against Div I (Univ So Fla/South Carolina) and got hammered. https://bcuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/nolan--santos/4716

    Not trying to be sarcastic. I read the article and saw no 'urgency' in his use of words.

    I have never been to a Twins game where fans booed. Yet yesterday, they came out. Suggest you are right.

    He just completed junior year. Trx'd in from Miami Dade CC.

    Round 7 Nolan Santos, Bethune Cookman. A Historical Black College. I used to attend Florida A&M / Bethune Cookman football games when I lived in Tampa. Lousy football but marching bands? Phenomenal. Bethune had a one legged tackle who blocked on PATs. Great human interest story.

    There goes Hurly. I am finding I can't keep up, particularly in day 2. I go down a rabbit hole researching a player, and 3 more drafts have been done.
  23. Dave Borton
    I remember an interview with Falvey on WCCO radio the November after he was hired. This is exactly what he said in the early part of the interview. He wouldn't be after specific positions on the field. He was after character and they would draft and develop their tools.

    I have been using MLB's. https://www.mlb.com/draft/tracker

    Yes, it was early. No excuse. E-db. Yes. I believe he lost the bench coach job at the Marlins when Mattingly left the Marlins.
