    Time for Bullpen Bingo. 5-6-7 batters up for Detroit in the 7th...
  2. BH67
    With a lead of at least four runs and nine outs to go, the likelihood is great. Outstanding start for Sonny today.
  3. BH67
    Single, double, two hit batters, error, three runs. A toast to winning ugly...which is still winning.
  4. BH67
    Bullpen bewilders. Offense runs hot and cold. Twins show glimpses of huge potential mixed with baffling ineffectiveness. On the other hand, there's Luis Arraez, his optimism and his relentlessness. Arguably, the closest model to Kirby Puckett in a Twins uniform since Kirby Puckett. And the whole team continues to fight hard even on bad days. That's good enough for me. Good win tonight. Go Twins.

    All-Star break is officially over. Game chat break for me isn't, regrettably. It's a waste of time to spend three hours amidst "Twins fans" yearning for something awful to happen.
  6. BH67
    I'm delighted for Byron, most of all that he and the center field wall in Chavez Ravine parted on friendly terms.
  7. BH67
    Next Sunday, Vikings rookies report to training camp.
  8. BH67
    Cease ceases A-C-B on ten pitches. Pitch well, Chris.
  9. BH67
    No. Just no. Especially when one can hear William Shatner and Bootsy Collins cover "She Blinded Me With Science."

    It is increasingly difficult on this site to find rational concerns expressed about the Twins amidst the flood of wannabe Pat Reusses every time the Twins have a bad game. I stopped by last night's game chat briefly and couldn't tell if the fury was rooted in disappointment or schadenfreude. Reusse has numerous trenchant thoughts, but to me this skill is superseded by the adrenaline rush he gets from being satiric about the latest moment of Minnesota sports misery. News for the wannabes: you lack the trenchant thoughts entirely. Many here blend sharp critique and thoughtfulness very well, and thanks to all of you who do. I hope when I comment that I am not guilty of what I criticize. And this has been an inexplicable season from one game to the next -- but the Twins keeping fighting hard despite the physical and strategic obstacles. Positive I remain.

    This eight-cylinder roster runs continually on four and gets the job done enough times for me to remain hopeful, but one never knows which four work in a given game. The rise of Polanco, Kirilloff and Miranda in the last few weeks is the closest thing the Twins have to a durable positive trend.
  12. BH67
    I had wrongly understood home runs to be "in play" in the BABIP formula.
  13. BH67
    How can Buxton possibly have a .203 BABIP? I know he's struggling but that's an astoundingly bad luck.
  14. BH67
    Duffey down, way down, better. so-so. Buck's hitting: awful, torrid, awful again. At least his BABIP appears abnormally low so far this year Thielbar. Kepler. Urshela. Take your pick on the streakiness. There is no middle with this team. Past performance is clearly not an indicator of what is to come. But Piranha Luis is here. Starting pitching is very good when healthy despite off days from Gray and Smeltzer. And they never give up. That's enough for me to keep cheering loudly.
  15. BH67
    Well, that was refreshing.
  16. BH67
    I complain too, and did so a lot during the last Cleveland series. But I'm more concerned about longer-term trends, especially with team attitude. And positive attitude seems legit over a large sample size now.
  17. BH67
    I repeat: dauntless. And that confidence is percolating through the whole lineup now, even with Byron in a hitting slump.
  18. BH67
    This Twins team is dauntless. This kind of response after two walkoff losses is magnificent...and something to keep in mind regardless of the slumps or bad losses yet to come.
  19. BH67
    29 pitches for Lynn, 29 pitches for Ryan in the first inning. Get your bullpen bingo cards ready.
  20. BH67
    Aw, shucks. I am deeply honored at a 95 percent confidence level.
  21. BH67
    Bases loaded, and here come the rookies on a roll.
  22. BH67
    Enjoying the midsummer evening daylight of the northern prairies growing up was fantastic. Hearing Herb Carneal chronicling the Twins made it extra special. The way Herb painted verbal pictures, nothing else was necessary.
  23. BH67
    Byron Buxton, he of a career .304 BABIP, is at only .214 so far this year. No matter how different his hitting approach from past seasons, significant regression to the mean should occur going forward, which would be huge down the stretch. Other perspectives on this are welcome.
  24. BH67
    My goodness, the White Sox are in complete disarray. Better still, the Twins are taking full advantage of it.
  25. BH67
    I'm thrilled that the batting order after ABC is showing some consistently good output in the last week.
