    Good catch! Thought we were just stuck in Correia world.

    What this most highlights for me is the impact of blogging, twittering and increased prospect scrutiny. In the days before the advent of so much media coverage, we might never have heard about this unless serious damage is later discovered. I have to think that pitchers, particularly young pitchers, have experienced occasional shoulder tightness and fatigue for years. But unless there was a major problem, we just didn't hear about it. Now we know as soon as anything happens and it seems like every ache and pain sends a ripple of major concern through the team's community. I'm just urging all of us to keep things in perspective before we start panicking or cursing the Twins bad luck.

    Seth Stohs ‏@SethTweets 1m Morning update on JO Berrios is that he says he feels fine, no pain, no tightness in his shoulder. No further medical evaluation planned.

    Great work ethic but also shouldn't his arm have less "wear and tear" than a typical 24 year olds?

    I was looking for a tweet from earlier this week about the Twins record with Mauer in the lineup and without and couldn't find it. But I did stumble across this factoid: Jeff Sullivan ‏@based_ball Jul 28 Carlos Santana leads the majors by pulling 53% of his air balls in play. league average of 29%. Joe Mauer last at 8%. second place is 50% Anyone want to comment and enlighten?

    LOL. When I finally read the Bollinger piece, I see that apparently others did, too. Must be those of us of a certain age. Bollinger piece was orignially posted by Glunn in the Minnesota Twins Talk forum: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/min/twins-sign-undrafted-pitcher-who-can-throw-100-mph?ymd=20140729&content_id=86944938&vkey=news_min

    I think this was the story that Seth tried to link: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/out-nowhere-twins-add-undrafted-24-year-old P.S. To the mods or whoever is posting the stories. I LOVE that you are putting the story in the thread but I think that the links are getting broken. I've noticed this a couple of times in Seth's posts.

    So Nick is right .... with the Twins they have bad luck ... with the Pirates dumb luck. I guess I'll take dumb luck every time.
  9. JB_Iowa
    Bad Luck or just a fairly normal occurrence as the season goes on for a young pitcher???

    Why did I feel like I was reading about Sidd Finch?
  11. JB_Iowa
    We've missed you on this, Chief!!!!
  12. JB_Iowa
    Yes. Especially when you click on the star or circle to take you to the first unread post. I always end up having to scroll so I can read what's under the logo.

    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 8m Twinsights: Highly rated RHP J.O. Berrios leaves AA start w/shoulder tightness, source says http://blogs.twincities.com/twins/2014/07/29/twinsights-j-o-berrios-leaves-new-britain-start-with-shoulder-tightness/
  14. JB_Iowa
    I was thinking that as well. Actually sounds like both he and Kohl Stewart may be getting fatigued.
  15. JB_Iowa
    Love that new avatar, SB.

    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 8m Source tells me it was indeed shoulder tightness that forced RHP J.O. Berrios from tonight's start after 48 pitches.

    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 8m Source tells me it was indeed shoulder tightness that forced RHP J.O. Berrios from tonight's start after 48 pitches. Sounds marginally better than an elbow problem as long as its just tightness.

    Steinbach managing? Twins Win! Twins Win!

    Have I mentioned lately how much I despise political commercials?? Now I'm getting them on TD. And its only July.

    If I use the gallery here, it keeps resampling it down to a really small size (which I understand for space purposes) but it makes it hard to see.
  21. JB_Iowa
    A little trouble on knowing how to size the photo, though.
  22. JB_Iowa
    Okay, I'll try it again:

    CR Gazette article on the suspension: http://www.thegazette.com/subject/sports/blogs/diamonds-and-ice-by-jeff-johnson/twins-suspend-kernels-pitcher-boyd-20140729 Sounds like he did something stupid. It happens.

    1. Kansas City -- While it is unknown and undocumented how the City of Kansas City got started. It is widely believed that people just started to move in that direction and got exhausted and just stopped exactly in that spot. There is a Kansas City Kansas and a Kansas City Missouri. This means that Kansas City is actually East of Kansas City and also West of Kansas City. Everything's up to date there.

    Is there a half-raw egg on it?
