T.O.

It would like he is playing Jax.

"90 of the game is mental the other half is physical" and any other Yogi-isms.

I've liked all (almost) of the Twins broadcast team. second half of season and especially after the salary dump they put way too much positive spin on simple things the players do. It makes it harder to listen to but I'm sure they are required to do that. I wasn't happy when they pushed Bremer out but after hearing Provis I thought he was a good balance between humor and serious play by play. He does get too excited at every ball hit near the warning track. I have to acknowledge that Bremer was starting to slip, getting names wrong etc. For me voice is critical for an play by play announcer. Traditionally announcers have deep voices. The important thing is the voice has no qualities that draw attention away from the words. No odd inflections, emphasis, or accent. But at the same time sounding human not mechanical. It's not that easy to do. Analysts usually are picked for knowledge not voice. There are some awful ones out there. Like someone that sounds like Walter Brennan playing an old man (did he ever play anything else?). Twins are in good shape there. A lot of people are critical of Morneau but I think he's great. He is sincere. I would rather here his ramblings than analysts that make obvious statements tell me nothing. I like all the analysts except Span who sounds irritating. The chemistry with all in the booth is good. I can't stand Atteberry. He doesn't have the voice and doesn't know when not to talk. He just sounds off. I only listen to him when I have to, when I occasionally cross into Iowa and TV is blacked out.

Must be thinking of Jazz Chisholm.

Back in the day they were all "Tie" games.

The only cranks left are old fogeys like me.

And Vertical and Horizontal flip adjustments. Kids of today have no idea.

3 runs per inning four more times and hold the line. It could happen.

The same jingle I remember from the radio. Also saw on TV in black and white just like this. In school I used to stick a pencil into an eraser and unconsciously beat that tom tom rhythm on my desk. Ticked off the teachers.

I loved the Hamms commercials on Twins radio as a kid.

No. I guess? The closest we got to beer was picking up empty cans.

My scoutmaster told us that story in the 60s.

The beer that made Mel Famey walk us....

Last night was a joy while it lasted.

? who'da thunk it ?

I typed Funderburk into Google and got... What does funderburk mean? Funderburk Name Meaning Americanized form of German von der Burg 'from the castle'; If he's of German descent he'd be Hair Funderburk?

Since the Twins imploded I hate everyone's comments trying to put a positive spin instead of the truth. Before that I didn't mind hearing Morny go on and on. He;s sincere. What I hate is analysts that say nothing but the obvious ( "You gotta throw strikes here" ) and such as that. Luckily there not a lot of that with the Twins team.

Pitch count and pitch speed are merging. Is he done?

Sad.

I wish we could have 2022 Nick Gordon.

Though I've tried I don't like sports other than baseball. I hated the Yankees since the early 60s because they always won. I picked the Twins in 1961 because they were an underdog. I don't hate other baseball teams but I am a baseball snob and have disdain for expansion teams. I prefer the original 16 franchises. It doesn't make a lot of sense but neither do I.

Drop some lysergic acid diethylamide in their gatorade. Small amount.

I would think Beeks would be more comfortable pitching in Baltimore or Toronto.

Yes. Same here.
