    I heard Mr. Kaat ask about the pitch count and where it came from, so, I'm going to toss a theory out there: The pitch count has very little to do with wear and tear on the arm and a lot to do with how many times a pitcher has gone through the rotation. If the average AB lasts 4 pitches, on a 100 pitch count limit, (I'm too lazy to look it up, so, grain of salt and all that) that's 25 outs or almost three times through the order. I believe it's pretty well established that most pitchers, after the third time through the order, stand a good chance of getting hit around the park pretty good. Again, a theory, or, speculation, on my part.

    Wait TD has a shirt? I need one, as I'll be at the game Sept 19!

    I cut it a bit close, sir! And, thank you!

    There once was a guy named Cruz, Who liked his afternoon snooze. And, once his nap was done, He'd hit more baseballs a ton, Yet another pitcher gets the blues! Tonight brings the Braves to town for a three game series and, if recent history is any guide, opposing pitchers need to be brave when facing the Twins lineup. *Our very own Tom Froemming came up immediately when I searched You Tube. The Twins have been putting on quite the power display, to the point it seems like fans would be disappointed with a 10-0 win, if there weren't any home runs hit. (okay, not really. Or, are we that spoiled by this team?) And, with that, I realize I've run out of time, and Ideas, so, we will wrap this up with some thoughts. Questions? Random letters tossed together that need their own version of the Rosetta stone to decipher? 1. If the Twins win, and no balls leave the park, is it truly a win? (yeah, ya'll saw that one coming, didn't you?) 2. Do we have an over/under line on baseballs hit out of the park? 3. Should the line on home runs also include Atlanta? 4. Dozier threw a ball to Suzuki and Escobar hit one out of the park. Only in baseball. Lineups: 5. Play ball! And now, for some nostalgia:

    Winner!

    I don't think we can dismiss the Royals lineup as they've got some good young talent there.

    Devin "Alka" Smeltzer.
  10. Blake
    Wow, Smeltzer is one cool dude.
  11. Blake
    I look at Dozier, Merrifield and Soler and see some players that, if KC finds some pitching, are going to be a real thorn in the side for the Twins.
  12. Blake
    Okay, Twins, you've swept the KC's legs, now stomp the throat!
  13. Blake
    One big difference between the Twins and KC: The Twins have the ability to cover up their errors, whereas KC does not.

    I feel bad for Duffy.
  15. Blake
    Really? No idea they were anywhere in the vicinity.
  16. Blake
    Yeah, a couple of us have been warming up crow lately. For instance, I was so disgusted with Sano I suggested he get sent back down to Triple A.

    Batman took care of Superman a movie or three ago.
  18. Blake
    Usually, I have a bit of sympathy when a pitcher is punished like this, but not Duffy.
  19. Blake
    Okay, good start Mr. Cruz and Twins.
  20. Blake
    I hope Danny Duffy is beat around the yard by the Twins. Ever since that display a couple of years ago, I've not liked him.
  21. Blake
    I really hope Mr. Cave brings his bat this time.
  22. Blake
    Winner!
  23. Blake
    Never doubted, not even once,
  24. Blake
    11 hits, 11 runs. Good run/hit efficiency by the Twins.
  25. Blake
    Much as I like the Twins, I really hate missed calls like that.
