    He is relegated to an afterthought, just like Trout. Never see WS.

    Kepler sighting. Mets, Phillies is a good game, 3-3 in the 5th, on MLB.TV free game.

    Ah, whoops.

    Warm up. You are first relief.

    Roster spot opens now. Suggest we have a lottery from those who post on this thread. Winner gets to name his/her own position Have to have your own glove (no softball mitts) and spikes. Joe didn't want to spring for those.

    Schedule for '26 gets released tomorrow and will include FOD date. Has been a lottery system in the past.

    Breakfast at Cracker Barrel in the morning...

    After the game, tune into MLB's free game, Cincinnati/LAD. Will be a good game. LAD's bats have cooled since Allstar break. Hunter Greene will be pitching for Reds. See what the Twins passed over for Royce Lewis: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/greenhu01.shtml

    Best odds out of Vegas seem to disagree: Twins: +115 Jays: -137 Ryan will hold his own but the pen will cave.

    Grew up 90 miles from Toronto. Wonderful city to visit with tons to see in addition to Scherzer and Berrios (always cringed when Terry Ryan mispronounced Jose's name). https://thedanaedition.com/travel/traveldestinations/north-america/canada/a-locals-guide-the-best-things-to-do-in-toronto-canada/

    Scapegoats. Herd animals at the bottom. Always several from whom to pick. Similar to my time in the corporate world. The top seems to always prepare in advance to single out someone on whom to project blame. Falvey will find someone this Fall. Rocco, get ready, though I shan't miss you.

    I have listened to the Padres/Dodgers series last weekend and this weekend. Great ball/competition.

    Cincinnati Reds. Relatively young, scrappy team, Greene, Francona, great radio booth.

    I was in the service for 4 very long years and to this day, will not wait in line for anything. Well, maybe TSA...

    I watch a lot of college ball when we snowbird in Arizona during winters. I don't believe I ever have seen that physical batting strength that Jenkins has in watching all the sophomore/junior ballplayers in college ball.

    Had 5 Davids in my 2nd grade class. Get up and change the channel? Can remember when we got our first TV! Didn't have to go to my Uncle's any longer to watch TV or run home after school to watch World Series at my friend's house after school. Picture rolling horizontally...and then vertically... Gunsmoke and Amos and Andy on the radio and then on TV.... Yep.

    Take the tubes out of the TV, go to the drug store, and use that machine to test the tubes.

    DFA'd, thank goodness. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-jose-urena-dfad-by-minnesota/

    Sound bites are nothing more than excerpts without context. Writers love to extract for clicks. While I have fallen off the Royce Lewis wagon, the kid is more than two quotes. Still believe in his basic persona of positivity and would want him in my club house.

    Good article in the Athletic today. Behind paywall. √ Nothing gets done until A's and Rays are properly put to bed in new stadiums. √ 162 game schedule is toast. It's a math game, but 156 is probable. √ 2 3-game series per week (players health would improve -- my opinion). Players paid for IL time approaching $1BB/year! √ Owners will need to make up for lost revenue. Ticket prices ↑ or player salaries ↓. √ Expand playoffs? (God forbid). √ CBA expires at end of '26. Hold on re: these issues mudding up those negotiations. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6566172/2025/08/21/mlb-expansion-realignment-162-game-schedule/

    Baldelli will be the scapegoat at the end of the year. Falvey will never be the fall guy. Minority owners will squeeze for some accountability and "poor-pirate-beard" will be it,
  24. Dave Borton
    Yeah, marketing starts calling kids' clubs about two weeks in advance and out they come
  25. Dave Borton
    I know that, that's why I asked visual.
