    It's probably as simple as Shelton wants to put out the best possible lineup until he deems the playoffs as beyond realistic (now, whether some of the guys in the lineup are the best bats at this time is up for debate). But when's the last time we've had the same exact batting order for 3 straight games? I'm not sure that's happened at all this season.
  2. Saxophone Joe
    Just looked it up. Royce is 9-54 (.167 ba) with 3 RBI in his last 15 games.

    "They played on my emotions." Torii Hunter’s one career regret: Passing on a chance to play for the Royals https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article317087029.html?taid=6a96ead438a91f00010881ea&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

    Sure was! Talk about a potentially season-saving play.
  5. Saxophone Joe
    Gotcha, my bad. I swear Morneau said during his first at-bat last night that Royce was 5 for his last 56. Anyway, dude is struggling hard. I bet he was bummed he wasn't credited with a hit last night, but it was the correct call.

    Some of us are starting to whisper: Don't let the Twins get hot!
  7. Saxophone Joe
    Twins probably playing coy about who's coming in after Morris. Prielipp to follow in the 2nd or 3rd is my guess.
  8. Saxophone Joe
    I agree. Will probably be more than one team above .500. Baltimore is getting hot - Cowser's catch to rob a walkoff homer last night was one of the best catches you'll ever see. The Toronto-Cleveland series will be one to watch for sure. We definitely need a sustained streak to fully re-enter the WC conversation.
  9. Saxophone Joe
    Since he didn’t get a hit on that fielder’s choice, Royce is something like 5 for his last 59. Ouch!
  10. Saxophone Joe
    Well well well. So refreshing to coast to a win like that and not let up. Been…a couple months! We’ll take it. Tomorrow’s game on September 1 is hereby declared meaningful! 🙌🏼 or at least not meaningless.
  11. Saxophone Joe
    Yes! I can tell my wife is close to staging an intervention on me. ”Honey, the playoffs you keep talking about…are they in the room with us?” 🤣
  12. Saxophone Joe
    OK. Hear me out… If we win today, I think tomorrow’s game would qualify as playing a (semi)Meaningful Game in September.
  13. Saxophone Joe
    Seriously, great start by Zebby. Bummed he couldn’t get the CG, but the win was obviously objective #1.
  14. Saxophone Joe
    they’re alive!

    Wait a second - did Buck already set this record in 2022 with 28 home runs and 46 RBI? That’s incredible.
  16. Saxophone Joe
    Assuming Buck is done for the season, will he set the MLB record for fewest RBI (46) with 25 home runs? Take that, 2025 Matt Wallner!
  17. Saxophone Joe
    This team lost so many games in August (and post all-star break) by not doing the little things right in all phases. That’s my bigger “what if?” over this stretch. Probably wouldn’t have mattered if Jenkins had been called up imo. Alas, we’ll never know. Also seems the Twins were determined to have his debut at home (for PR), and we had a 9-game road trip to start the month.
  18. Saxophone Joe
    For those keeping track, Shelty spoke for a whopping (season low?) 55 seconds post-game.
  19. Saxophone Joe
    Crazy to think we had sole possession of the 3rd WC 8 nights ago. 1-7 since. Ballgame.
  20. Saxophone Joe
    To a man, I bet if you polled each Twin right now, most would want the season to end today.
  21. Saxophone Joe
    9 games we lost this month while tied or leading going into the 6th inning. 9 games.
  22. Saxophone Joe
    Buck will be shutdown for the season by Monday.

    You can feel it now: this team (and the sleepy crowd) wants out.
  25. Saxophone Joe
    We were No. 1 in the league until a month or so ago. But I’d bet we’re easily in the bottom 3 over the last six weeks - when it’s mattered the most.
