    To add to my "Bride likely wouldn't make it through waivers" comment above, the Twins actually traded for him by sending "cash considerations" to the Marlins. With how he has done for the Twins in comparison to how he had started the season in Miami, I'd suspect they could trade him to someone for either cash considerations or somebody way down the other team's lottery pick list.

    In a world where the setup man starts to get attention, Danny Coulombe was on his way before the injury. He's still nearly the team's leader in bWAR among relievers, with two-thirds the number of innings. And with a good June, Sands could still be in the mix as well.

    Phooey. They promised me I could in and out of town with nobody noticing.

    I don’t know the injury situation elsewhere, but it seems that Bride has righted himself enough that he wouldn’t make it through waivers without being claimed.

    I hear the Lynx are pretty good.

    Does that count?

    I got some new shoes this week. I was having hard time getting the shoestrings in place until I got some new glasses. They’re the greatest spectacles in lacing.

    And now France swings like a pendulum do!!!

    Always assumed it was the cops on bikes.

    By the way, I read that Hrbek turned 65 this week. I think he should receive more credit for his heroic efforts to prevent Ron Gant from getting injured in a horrific fall.

    Does England swing like a pendulum do?

    The thought of Diamond hurling for three innings makes me want to hurl.

    Also raining cats and dogs here in Kansas. I just stepped in a poodle.

    Rocco hasn’t improved in terms of his willingness to use Durán in the seventh since he’s been installed as the closer. He’s been very consistent in how often he’s done it over the past three seasons — once each year. In other words, it’s wrong to imply that Rocco has used him in the seventh with any regularity and that he’s needed to improve in that regard.

    In both of Sands’ saves, there’s more to it than just saying he was the next choice because Duran wasn’t available. His first save was in the second game of the doubleheader. Not only had Duran pitched in the first game, but so had Jax, so he wasn’t available either. Sands was the best of what was left after using the top guys to nail down Game 1. in his second save, Duran wasn’t available but Jax was. However, I think Rocco played it more by situation. Jax didn’t get the save but he was the one who got the top of the lineup in the eighth. Sands then got the save by pitching to 5-6-7 in the lineup. I’d argue that Jax was the more trusted one.

    Concur. It's only May 17. As long as he stays healthy, it's very likely he'll be up by the All-Star break or sooner for someone else's injury anyway. Or even as an easy swap if Matthews isn't stellar. When you consider that SWR is being demoted, it's incredibly rare to have only had 15 days of IL time from any of their starters at this point in the season. I checked one time and on average, we're at something like starter No. 8 by this time already. At the most, service time is about No. 10 on the list of considerations.

    Including Milwaukee, so there's that.

    That was the case here as well.

    I sometimes drive through Mankato for work and I can't help but look for the Happy Chef.

    For big games, crowds would be huge. A couple thousand at times.

    Probably that a fly ball to the track, a double off the wall and a smoked grounder doesn't count as dominant. I'm definitely going to the pen.

    The popcorn?

    The Elkhart/Mishawaka area nearby was one of those hotbeds for Class A and above as recent as when I was a sportswriter in the '90s. Some of the area RV manufacturers were big sponsors. It's tailed off and a friend just said there's nothing here, but thinks there might be some C league teams about 90 minutes away in Michigan. Perhaps some D league teams in Indianapolis.

    Shirts are available on his Web site. It would be awesome to wear one to a game and see what conversations it brings about with people. https://kingandhiscourt.net/shop

    Never got to actually see him. I remember posters of him being in some nearby town when I was a kid, but we were always baling hay or something.
