When there’s nothing left but to hype, no matter what.

I had an MRI yesterday. The operator was perfect. She had a magnetic personality.

Followed by bonehead base running. Bi-polar. I think he is so slow because his ears create all that drag.

Wake up Lee. These guys are minor league.

6 hits (albeit one was a Delman Outman blunder) 2 walks and 6 outs. 6 runs in two innings. Not Abel.

What quotes from Lewis exactly? Is it a secret? You mention it twice with no specifics. Why?

Seriously? He still lives in Houston. He didn't uproot anything. Houston said "good luck, see you later, we aren't paying that pipedream". He bailed out (self uprooting?) of the first deal even after only giving his 3 year contract one compromised year! He wasn't "investing" in a culture in Minneapolis. He was going anywhere the Dior money came from, and overvalued himself as was played out by losing 2 larger contracts. Many teams that had money would not sign the infamous cheater. He only ended up here because the Twins were the last team to offer to pay him way too much, and the season(s) were starting. And then he sucked for the first part of both the signing years. And he was only on the field half the time. He ran as soon as he could. Sure he wanted to win. Who doesn't? It was only always about the coin. Actions say it all. The rest was the sideshow that so many Twins' fans were suckered into believing. They would boo Altuve while admiring Correa! How does that even compute? He played his part, but uprooted his entire life? Hardly. Now he has run home, taking another $33 million from the Twins culture as he parted. Returning to his true culture, where he can be a clog and not a leader, and let others take him to the playoffs, instead of him taking others. Maybe a person shouldn’t be defined by a snapshot of one bad decision. The cheating. But the decision wasn’t just one time. It was hundreds and possibly thousands of times being a part of the same repeating decision.

All supposition with no real knowledge of what is actually happenng, or did actually happen in the clubhouse. Some incredibly long winded, albeit an interesting if not vain excercise. Actions. We all saw Correa loaf to first. Often. Has it changed? So many of these guys don't even run to first. They loaf. And I don't mean on only grounders. A healthy Buxton doesn't give up on an infield grounder, but Larnach and Wallner and Lewis and Julien and Castro (did) and Jeffers and Lee do. Hell, Lee even watched his post Correa Grand Slam land only a couple seats back in the right field seats, and didn't run first. Just admired the hit that might have bounced off the sandstone. Countless (and Correa was guilty often) batters missing a double or triple, or getting thrown out trying too late, because they watched and loafed, and didn't run immediately full speed out of the box, admiring their hopeful contact. Shameless and shameful. That is the culture, and it is still here. Keaschall looks like he wants to change it, and not by being long winded with words, but by playing the game with lust and desire. It seems the "core" is the problem. They are still here, and Correa was a big contributor. Blame it on the FO and Baldelli. They deserve it for so many reasons. But I blame it mostly on the players that don't seem to even enjoy the game and how lucky they are to do it for a living. Regardless of all the crap they they might have to put up with in the background, it doesn't stop them from playing the game with passion and fire.

Luke Keaschall is liking comments on the facebook site. But then, the one I saw shows he liked ALL the comments, concerning dead weight. So who knows. Ballsie, though.

Should have traded him for Hunter Greene, Correct that. Should have drafted Hunter Greene instead.

Better to listen to you cry, eh Terry? In that inning you are just in denial, then. Sure the team is crap and by your repetitive comments of you don't care any more it shouldn't matter to you, but you just are in such denial about how it affects the game that you want to control my behavior. Power trip,

1-0 to the bottom of the 1st if the ump makes that call correctly. It always matters. Most of the time it is buried in the game, but they all matter. Hard to even out 4 additional runs scored.

.

Ramirez wild pitch made the fly ball a sac fly.

Both Morneau and Cuddyer won NL batting titles after Twins cheaped out on them for the next bust coming along.

Royce Valencia.

That was a check swing ball for Mookie Betts. Announcer said the difference in this game was the sac fly. But the real difference was the wild pitch by the aging fat guy. Could have happened to any pitcher…..

Just more contrived BS. Content calls, I guess.

What ifs? Time for What ifs? What if Mauer? Why then doesn’t he say so if it is? Deal not actually a deal yet? Afraid to? What if a minority owner doesn’t have input that means anything? After all, they won’t be managing partners. Why suggest anything since no one here including you has any idea what is coming? Sell your family and bring in a cheaper group and cheer them on just the same and enjoy your new home. Why not? They are your new home team. Love them the same as the last one!

Probably applying for a Twins color commentator. Just what we need. More ex-players in the booth. Hard to find actual professional announcers anymore. Just jocks with big mouths. I guess that doesn't explain Audra, though.

Lee is soooooo slow. Not really SS material.

Not the new hero!!!

Seems Jeffers should have a better eye at the plate, being a catcher and all.

Amazingly, he got that one right! Getting it right shouldn't be a gift.

good thing you aren't the umpire, eh? Better replay that.
