  1. Heck, the Twins themselves are promoting apathy with stunts like we saw on Saturday. Here’s Reusse: Twins attendance has been a flop since pandemic restrictions were softened. Still, there might have been 18,000 on Saturday. Traditionally, summer weekends are when families from around the area plan their one or two trips a season to Target Field. Come Saturday: They arrive, pay their $12 to park, let the kids make a first run to a concession stand, and then they look at the field and wonder where are the players, getting loose, ready for a ballgame. Then comes the delay, followed by the announcement there would be no game, and even the kids squint into the sun and ask, “Why not?” Twins forget their fans with a flimsy excuse for a rainout
  2. Don’t know if I heard this or dreamt this, but I thought I read or heard that Santiago said it was sweat and rosin only. We’ll see. Whats that on your glove? Sweat and rosin, you say?
  3. Arraez, a single, double and homer away from the cycle
  4. This is the “Column B” everyone was asking for earlier in the year, when “Column A” was struggling and blowing saves!
  5. With the scheduled starting pitcher Randy Dobnak a last-minute scratch due to a contract dispute, let’s go to the next audition tape: [ inserts VHS tape into VCR ] Hi! I’m Danny Coulombe! You may remember me from such heartwarming baseball films as, “The Day I Walked Joe Mauer on Four Pitches!” or “I Was Once Traded for Cash Considerations, Too!” or “I pitched in the Same July 2017 Game that Brandon Kintzler made his Final Appearance in a Twins Uniform! Reflections on the Last Four Years of Major League Baseball, including the Juiced Ball Controversy of 2019, Lockdown Baseball During the 2020 Pandemic, and Spider Tack-Gate of 2021.” “Will I be asked to drop my drawers tonight?” [ end tape ] (h/t Troy McClure, Phil Hartman, and the Simpsons) Well, what does everyone think about tonight? Should Danny Coulombe be given the starting role? Will he rise to the moment and steal the show? Read more about Coulombe on his Wikipedia page, which someone went to the trouble to create. Lineups to follow.
  6. Jason Tyner! Did something kind for me for no reason, when some other guys were acting more like immature brats. (many players are; never meet your heroes, etc)
  7. Agreed - very interesting. Plus, for starting pitchers, it’s already baked into the negotiation. No agent is going to come back to the starting pitcher client and say, “the team wants to offer you more, but they have concerns that you started in only 32 games last season.” With Buxton, his time missed will be a huge concern for teams bidding on him. At this point he won’t have a strong comeback for them, either.
  8. In that case, we would call them ‘Ribbies’
  9. Good points. The mid-to-late-90s is the start of the PED era. That same period is also the most recent expansion team era. Also division realignment; maybe there is a little bit of “divisional rivalry / bad blood” hit batters in that data. Also, and this idea is really out of left field (actually center field), but when did “batters’ eyes” in center behind the pitcher become a thing? Just one more disadvantage dealt to pitchers when may have led to pitching to hitters differently.
  10. It’s no problem to keep him and ride him out, and hope he stays on the field. I’m talking about 2022 as well. Problem is if we trade him, we won’t get peanuts back. Maybe a single peanut.
  11. Buxton has already been re-activated after his pinkie finger injury, and I missed it? ?
  12. A pitch hit him on the back of the left hand while still gripping the bat.
  13. Sano-sie! And the crowd went wi— And the fan still in the park went wild!
  14. Pre-diction: Arraez ends it quick
  15. Hey Joey where you goin with that bat in your hand
