    Lazy. If you had driven even a mile further you could have avoided the whole debacle. PS. You should consider alerting Paul Molitor when you will be attending a Twins game. He needs to know because you have not exactly been a good luck charm for Rogers.

    Well, it gets late early. Signing off, with one last thought: I hope Kyle Gibson, to name just one Twins pitcher, is watching Ryu and learning what command of one's pitches can do.

    That was a fun strikeout of Colon.

    And now Granite backs away from the same first-pitch curve. I can't imagine being able to stand in there either.

    That was how his first inning versus the Yankees had us thinking too. / ninja'd by snepp

    Ryu's initial combination to Grossman of a sharp breaking curve followed by a tantalizing changeup swung clean through looked tough to deal with..

    Sano puts the ball in play for a single. Looks unlikely to be a 5-strikeout night for him tonight.

    That's easy to accomplish. I want to understand how you get the 1st guy for the 8th? Might be a useful trick to replicate.

    I like Slegers as much as the next guy (I adopted him, after all) but if the Twins are somehow still in contention then I don't especially want him getting starts. If the team has fallen out of it, they'll work one or two rookie starters in - let some tired arms have some rest.

    Ho hum - another start, another Twins Daily Minor League Pitcher of the Day award. Aaron Slegers struck out as many men as the 7 innings he pitched, in a 7-1 victory over the Toledo Mud Hens on Sunday night. He retired the first 9 batters he faced, and faced only the minimum through 5 innings thanks to a double play in the fourth. Three singles in the sixth plated a run. Then the seventh was easy again, with only a harmless one-out walk. By that point, his pitch count was up to 103, and evidently prudence dictated that his work for the night was finished. So, his final line of 4 hits and 1 walk looks mighty fine. His season ERA now stands at 3.35, and he leads the International League in victories with 11. Aaron seems well on his way to earning a September callup, at a minimum.

    I don't. I want to harvest the bitter tears of the other team's fans.
  13. ashbury
    No kidding. Now that the pitcher is gone, I hope someone at the next press conference asks for more details/insight on the thinking behind that sequence of moves last year.
  14. ashbury
    This is an awfully late game for us on the east coast, but I have to tune in at least a few innings on the off-chance of seeing some or all of you if the camera angles are kind. Also it would seem wrong to fail to witness the end of the Bartolo Colon Era for the Twins. How many innings before he is DFA? * * Shhhh!!! I'm attempting a reverse jinx on his behalf of course.

    Ugh, I can't bear to speak ill of my adoptees, nor especially to invest time doing so, therefore I'll just plagiarize Seth. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/26872-article-twins-minor-league-report-723-slegers-continues-strong-streak/?do=findComment&comment=656726

    You're proposing a three-way trade involving Seattle?
  17. ashbury
    443 runs scored for. 509 runs scored against. Yet approximately a .500 record. One interpretation is that the tactical field-management of the available bullpen roster has been adept. The construction of that bullpen roster, on the other hand...

    This is still at least in part a "let's find out what we've got" kind of season, and with the large lead it's not the worst thing in the world to bring in the lefty and find out whether he's taken the next step to being more than a specialist. The worst happened with that first batter and we still had margin for error, and won. I'm not going to give this choice much further thought.

    Ben hit a two-out three-run homer in the third inning of Cedar Rapids' 12-4 laugher over the Lansing Lugnuts last night. He followed up his blast with a sac-fly RBI in the fourth. The four RBI represent a career high in one game for the young catcher.

    Our son just told us that he and his friends had a good time last weekend playing Trump The Game, a relic from the 90s.

    It has been kindly pointed out to me by the GCL Twins that they muzzled RHP Austin Bizzle by placing him on the 7-day disabled list retroactive to July 14, 2017. At this time there still is no specific timeframe for his return. This explains the lack of activity since the 11th.

    I see the official attendance for his game was 33,114. The previous night's game drew 27,566. I don't know what multiplier the bean-counters use to guess the revenue value of each additional fan, but 5000+ extra fans is nothing to sneeze at. Bartolo maybe brought $150K to the team in one night? The curiosity factor will fade quickly, though. In that case the team won't recoup the pro-rated major league minimum salary.
