    If Ben Ross is dreaming, it's a kangaroo kourt fine of $1000 to whoever wakes him up!

    Pro tip: when you say something kind, and then you feel the need to go on and type the word "BUT...." press the backspace key a few times and just hit Submit Reply and go on with your day.

    "OK, we lost a game Wednesday. If we lose today, it's called 'two in a row'. And if we lose again tomorrow, it's called a 'losing streak'... It has happened before!"

    I'm a big believer in hospice care, your family is doing a kind thing for him, and I will leave it at that.

    "Keep your eye on the ball." Bery bery good advice.

    I'll let you know sometime around August, September tops.

    And who knows. Someday the manager.

    Pfff. Not even 20%. 😁

    With more than 10% of the season now completed, it's a little late to get in on this lucrative action. Eleven wins in the bank obviously changes the odds. The highly professional sports book that I run will probably be crunching the numbers any day now to provide a revised betting line. Any. Day. Now. (All of which is to say: I don't take any prognostications seriously including my own. If I did, I certainly wouldn't have brought that one up. 😁 )

    Yeah, my post really was nothing more than to say that the season is long, it has ups and downs, and you never know. There's a 100-win team and a 100-loss team lurking inside of each squad* - which kind of goes along with the 54-54-54 formula. * Except the Dodgers and Yankees, probably.

    That's why it's an entertaining quote from an old-timey manager, and not an actual recipe for analysis or nothin'. 😁 Another old quote may be more relevant. You can sum up baseball in one word: "you never know."

    Today's home run becomes important if it's the start of a trend. Up until now he's been walking a lot. If he can begin to punish pitches in the strike zone, while still laying off the pitches outside it - well, that's a deceptively simple formula that has stood the test of time, right? That, plus doing all of it against opponents who throw right-handed too. 😁

    Today we saw the 61-101 team I was forecasting before the start of the season. Shaky starting pitching after Lopez and Ryan? Check. Ludicrous fielding to add to the misery? Check. Bullpen comes on to pour gasoline immediately? Check. Non-existent offense while the game was still in doubt? Check. Low-pressure rally against a AAAA opposing pitcher to put up a respectable looking final score? Check. Glad the 110-win team that no one anticipated has been with us the past couple of weeks or so Somebody go find them and bring them back - they were enjoyable. 😁

    Thanks for the jinx on today's game. 😁

    Danny Coulombe! Welcome back.

    Not enough discussion of Connelly Early. Twins could have had this guy in the 5th round instead of Dylan Questad, or even Tanner Hall (4th round) neither of whom is showing much signs of reaching the majors anytime soon. The Red Sox got a 5th round steal out of UVa.

    A loss today will drop Shelton's lifetime winning percentage below Billy Martin but still greater than any other manager in franchise history. #funwithnumbers

    Twins Baseball: Catch The Whiff!

    To paraphrase a very old baseball adage, "I don't want left-handed batters. I want batters that can hit right-handed pitching."

    Which team needs to fire its manager so that we can DFA Eric Wagaman off of the 40-man? Or will firing a 3rd-base coach suffice?

    Cleveland with bullpen woes. Man, that would suck, wouldn't it?
