  1. Found myself in the footage of Kepler's homer. I'm wearing a "Twins #1 Fan" finger oven mitt because I thought it would be funny.
  2. Imagining Miranda in the mix and doing the Vince McMahon escalating reactions meme.
  3. If you want it enough to pay for it, milb dot tv is not unreasonably priced.
  4. The worst thing about this pandemic has been figuring out how to work with, support, and love people in my life who I think are harmfully, passionately wrong about a life-or-death matter that affects others as well as themselves. People who I otherwise want to keep close in my life. Fortunately, Andrelton Simmons is not my mother-in-law, and he hasn't done anything for me lately. I support rewarding Maggi with a few months of major league paychecks for his good work, I support giving Gordon another shot, and I support shuffling things around in any way that will bring Miranda up.
  5. I got this guy's autograph after a Saints game one time having no idea who he was, ha. There was just a line for autographs and I jumped in and had him sign my cap. Looked him up later and felt a bit silly for waiting in line for his autograph thinking he was a player. He seems to be a good guy though, so whatever.
  6. I now look forward to the rookie pitcher days, what a weird season.
  7. It's really a joy to see a borderline-giant like Sano move like that. What a thrilling play. I still feel really good about Ober. Fans always find a way to ask for more, but for a rookie going up against a really great offense, he did really well. Much better than I was expecting.
  8. Great Wind Surge seats are like twenty bucks, so I guess there are worse places to shell out for a seat to sit around and text in.
  9. I'm not sure what to expect long-term from Jax and Ober but I'm starting to avoid using "pitching pipeline" as a punchline. These guys are really working hard and earning these good outings.
  10. You can't compare Ober to Methuselah, it was a completely different game back then. The average fastball was 12 MPH, and starters were expected to go 90 innings.
  11. I'm assuming that Nelson Cruz's couple of out-of-nowhere stolen bases this year are why his disciple Sano has been attempting them lately. Meanwhile, I feel like I wrote Rooker off really prematurely. He's not Cruz but he looks solid so far.
  12. It makes me really happy to see Ober continue to be decent, especially after Jax yesterday, and especially with Balazovic on an ungodly tear. These pitching prospects are really giving me something to look forward to (or at least fantasize about).
  13. It's very encouraging that all the minor-league teams are winning when so many of the good prospects have been called up this year.
  14. Good point, I was comparing him in my head vs Gordon as utilityman (and Gordon doesn't feel like a sure thing), and not considering him vs Miranda (the prospect I am most excited about) for third base.
  15. I don't know why we'd want to trade Arraez, a young guy who factors into any rebuild plan that doesn't require completely starting from scratch (we want to contend in 2023, right?). Unless Toronto is drowning in expendable pitching talent, which does not appear to be the case.
  16. I feel the same way, I've enjoyed more baseball this year than any year before. For me especially, having the Saints as AAA affiliate has made the Twin Cities a really special place to be a baseball fan.
  17. I feel like I'm watching a teaser trailer for a new Star Wars movie. Getting psyched about triple-digit fastballs the same way I get excited about John Williams music and five seconds of Millennium Falcon footage, but ultimately I have no more idea whether it will amount to anything good or not than I did yesterday morning.
  18. I'm definitely excited to follow Miranda's career. I was fortunate enough to be at CHS field for his AAA debut, and I can honestly say that it was the most electric night of baseball I've ever experienced. Went home with a big goofy grin on my face. I went from dreading the trade deadline, when we're sure to lose some of my favorite veterans, to anxious for the old-timers to get out and make way.

    The Grand "Re-Tool" Experiment

    This very thorough look at the retool scenario certainly dampens my enthusiasm for it.
  20. I have no problem whatsoever with his outspokenness on sticky substances (and I think his "it's not sticky anymore!" comment was, at worst, mildly obnoxious). But he doesn't seem like the kind of guy I'd really enjoy having a beer with.
