    This essay seems to support why the Twins have allowed a surplus of talent to remain in the farm system and not use them as trade chips. If their current payroll isn't increasing, that approach is the least bad option. I find it not bad at all.

    These Twins, in a word? Rudderless.

    I agree, Mike. But this was a textbook instance where you don't fix something that ain't broke.

    I so wanted someone to apply poison sumac to the Twins' bullpen phone after the 7th inning. Let's hope a win in still happening.

    Being offensive by being inoffensive.

    A reality as evergreen as pumpkin spice latte arriving at Starbucks. Autumn is here. Scowl!

    Ella Fitzgerald and Nelson Riddle recorded the legendary "Something's Gotta Give" sixty years ago. The delights of love and not the Twins' muddling were Ella's focus in pointing out that tension eventually releases one way or another. Yet our beloved Twins are facing that inevitability. Today was a hard-earned but stressful win. Something's gotta give one way or the other, and will, very soon.

    Which "pointless" do you mean? 😏 82 pitches through six. Pablo to the rescue today.

    For the first time I'm concerned that the 2024 Twins will miss the postseason. Two years ago I avoided watching the Twins in September because a malaise had rooted in the quality of their play that was too much to overcome. Last September, just the opposite. Same manager. Same team, mostly. I've led successful teams in my work, which requires a proactive team effort toward a specific destination. My visible focus is essential to motivate others to take ownership of it. My impression is that Rocco Baldelli is a laissez-faire skipper who trusts that the team vibe on its own will lead to success. Great approach when all is well, and a big mess when slumps deepen. I'm a Rocco fan, but something has to jolt everyone when things get stuck. That's a place for a vintage year Gary Gaetti, and these Twins absent Carlos Correa appear to lack such a person. Happy to read more knowledgeable explanations, even in sharp disagreement.

    The offense is mind numbing. They don't drive me batty, because, well... One last chance.
  11. BH67
    Already at 90 pitches. Agreed on capability but not happening.

    White Sox trail 7-0 after two innings in Baltimore.

    The sandwiches in the Twins locker room are especially good. They're served with Helman's mayonnaise.

    Hey, Royce, can you spare me some of that oxygen?
  15. BH67
    Dismal atmosphere at the Trop, per usual. Enjoy a win, Parfigliano. The Rolls Royce has left the repair shop.

    The White Sox have now lost 41 of their last 45 games. That's colossally bad in sports where heavy favorites are routine. In baseball, which is less susceptible to prohibitive favorites over a long season, words fail me.

    The Rangers and Diamondbacks demonstrated last autumn that getting into the playoffs matters more than where one is seeded. Such is the inevitable outcome of a four-round playoff in a sport where a series win is rarely greater than a 60% probability. A consistently dangerous offense, not a streaky hot one, will make the difference with good pitching. SWR, Festa and Matthews are a long way from Smoltz, Glavine and Maddux -- for now. If healthy, they will shorten that gap considerably in the next two years, and their travails this year are making that possible.

    C is for cookie? That's good enough for me!
  19. BH67
    It is frequently a badge of honor, especially so during prolonged Twins batting slumps.
  20. BH67
    Normally you'd get an instant "haha" from me, Mike. Today I'd have joined them at least in spirit. The comeback felt more lucky than determined -- but a win's a win.
  21. BH67
    Paging Mr. Gaetti...,Mr. Gary Gaetti...please bring your combustible 1987 self to the Twins locker room immediately. But don't tell Rocco you're coming. (Postscript for context: I'm venting about the collectively catatonic Twins bats in the last two weeks, and how G-Man would abruptly dispel any catatonic clubhouse atmosphere. I posted this no matter today's outcome. Hopefully Royce's "oxygen rush" will serve the same purpose.)

    Pitches thrown: Twins 202, Blue Jays 93. Zebby was due for a bad night at this stage of his MLB career. I'm impressed that he and Festa are learning on the job so quickly. In Red Green-speak, they are awesome duct tape. The bats have a grand total of eight hits the last two nights, and not even Correa and Buxton can remedy that on their own. Since those two will be prone to long stays on the IL for the rest of their careers, the rest of the lineup needs to figure this out now. This collective famine has to end soon...doesn't it?
  23. BH67
    106 pitches to 26 through three innings. Wowzers.
  24. BH67
    Wednesday night's loss to Atlanta is this article in microcosm.
  25. BH67
    Schwellenbach threw 27 pitches. No ball in play, but the longer at-bats are a good start.
