I don't think this ump is getting paid by the minute -
The SWR Experience: consistency in inefficiency

Monday July 7th is a mutual off day for the Twins and Mariners. Twins have home series on each side of it. Mariners are flying from Seattle to New York during it. Sounds like a fairly reasonable make-up date

Falvey: Minnesota Twins Are Not Focused On Selling
The Great Hambino replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I'm not sure what some are expecting him to say here at this point in time. (If your answer to that is "nothing", I'm not going to argue that) Regardless of the choppiness of the Falvey Word Salad, there is no advantage to be gained by declaring yourself to be sellers in June. Most of the league is in a holding pattern where they sit somewhere on the spectrum of potential contention for a playoff spot. As time goes on, some of those teams will have that potential contention become actual contention, which will increase the pool of buyers, which will be more attractive to sellers. On this date last year, the Tigers were 6 games under .500 and 6 out of a wild card spot. They're not trending great right now, but the Twins are only 4 under and 3.5 back. I'm not putting all my money on a similar turnaround, but there's a lot of baseball left. Too early to punt on the season. Also, publicly announcing your buy/sell intentions might not meaningfully hurt your leverage in negotiations, but it certainly doesn't help it. -
He's not running away from the platitudes right in front of him
-
Wow, for a moment that felt like fun baseball to watch
-
Sounds like he should be the Pacific time zone specialist Did you know he's from California? They never talk about it
-
Come on now. I'ts a tie game in the 9th and they're at home. There is no possibility of a save situation. Are you suggesting they don't use him at all? This is where the Rocco hate goes too far.

I assume you're referring to Duran's grip on the curve

Hur-ray Lee!

That was a Lewis-fresh-off-the-IL swing from Correa. Woof

Perfect recipe for a rally

I would like Jax to pitch the 8th
-
Yes Plouffe, let's all vote Jax into the all star game
-
I dunno, that was pretty shallow

Halfway there Now, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, what happened here? I didn't think they'd score five the rest of the week
-
not often you see the catcher in more pain on an hbp than the batter
-
Nice backup by Kody, does that count as good fundamentals?
-
Is there a RHP/catcher combo that Buck shouldn't be running on?
-
Depends. Twins for the game or Mariners first time through the order?
-
That's a mighty high bar to set for your manager

Gross. Conventional wisdom would suggest speed and power are trade-offs. But since the Bomba Squad had the #2 SLG in MLB, they've ranked between 7 and 14 (11 if you exclude COVID) since. That is until this season, where they've fallen to #16. Not even in the top half of power with the slowest team. The worst of both worlds
