8 of 9 games going into today is a good start on beating 81 games.
I hope he gets to CF, but if he doesn't and ends up with 130 games at DH (which is what 8/10 works out to), I'll be pretty happy.
That he played five innings on defense on Thursday and six more on Saturday makes me think it could be sooner than that. With beautimous weather forecasted for all week here in Indiana, I'll take a guess that he joins the Saints in Indy sometime this week and then joins the Twins for the start of their homestand on the 21st.
Third straight game on the radio. Glad to finally get rid of the Target commercial that ended with Bremer saying, "Whaaat a caaaatch," but this "We Are Family" JC Penney commercial got old really fast.
Ouch.
Tornados through southeast Iowa last weekend came within a half mile of my nephew's house and also within a half mile of both his and his wife's parents and all their siblings except one. None of them had any damage, but my wife's cousin's house was leveled. The cousin, his wife and their three kids were unharmed after staying under a table in the basement.
Which leads to, "The Twins are only in my town for three days every other season. Play the stars on the road."
I think it's pretty rare that managers take fan preference into consideration when setting their lineups.
15 days for position players, 10 days for pitchers.
Not sure whether that means 12.5 days for Ohtani, but it does raise an interesting question. I wonder how they handle him.
