    Hasn’t pitched since Sunday, so okay. Hopefully it can be a spiffy eight pitches or so.
  2. IndianaTwin
    Wallner seems to agree.

    I don’t have access, but someone made reference to that part of the article. I was hoping someone would give more context. Another example of a lot of TD angst and extra keystrokes resulting from not knowing the whole story.

    Given the adventures of the last week, I’m fine with Jax here to get through the top of the order and then hopefully a Blewitt-type in the ninth. It also gives a chance to tack on a couple more before the ninth.
  5. IndianaTwin
    Yes.

    Apparently I dated myself on the (Old El Paso taco shells?) commercial from childhood?

    Alternatively, Mrs. IT would vote for this.
  8. IndianaTwin
    That would be a good addition, though I’d probably be more into that than Mrs. IT would be.

    I like making them. And I like eating them.

    Did you see that a guy got three foul balls in the same inning at an Oakland game this week? (I mean, the odds are a lot better at an Oakland game than at most places, but a couple of them were nice catches.)

    Hamburger, sausage, tomato sauce, taco seasoning and rice, topped with cheese and crushed Dorito’s.

    I got to the game thread a little late. I was at my plastic surgery support group. There were a lot of new faces there.

    Can we lock this quote to the TD front page so we don’t have to hear “Sonny didn’t like it here” each time Gray is referenced?
  14. IndianaTwin
    It was taco rice casserole here.

    Friend in my fantasy league was a big Ventura fan. I send him the clip every year on the anniversary. Also, a picture of this is displayed prominently at the Rangers’ new stadium.

    Got the Fever set on auto-record. Looking forward to seeing them again in person in several weeks. High school friend is at tonight’s game.

    Hrbek's homer against the Yankees brought me back to baseball. I was a junkie as a younger kid, collecting cards and listening to as many games as possible. After Oliva retired, it was Butch Wynegar and Larry Hisle. In junior high and early high school, I thought I would move on to more nobler things (the future Mrs. IT being one of them, but that's a different story). I would still sorta follow along, however, including reading the newspaper (for the informed, that was a printed thing that would show up in our mailbox each day). One day in the fall of my sophomore year, I read about this guy with a funny name who hit a game winning homer in his first game. As noted, two other rookies hit homers in their first game later that month, and I started to think this could be a fun team to follow again. The next year, Hrbek should have been rookie of the year and became my new favorite. They were contenders in 1984 as I headed off to college and my senior year they gloriously won the series. I've been hopelessly hooked ever since.

    I think it was Uecker who said the easiest way to catch a knuckleball was to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.

    Attention Twins Acquisitions: You have three weeks to prove your worth.* /s *See also: Santana, Carlos; Margot, Manuel; Topa, Justin, et. al.
  20. IndianaTwin
    Against righties, Larnach has a .769 OPS. Margot is at .543. There’s plenty to question elsewhere, but that seems like a no-brainer.
  21. IndianaTwin
    Why not?
  22. IndianaTwin
    It’s about 97-win pace for a full season, so yeah, I’ll take that record over a 100+ game stretch.
  23. IndianaTwin
    Going in to tonight, if Cleveland goes .500 the rest of the way, the Twins have to go 22-15, because Cleveland has the tiebreaker. That’s a .595 percentage, which is above their current .560 on the year. However, .560 would have them going 21-16, so they only need to go one game better than their year-to-date pace. Additionally, I put more stake in their recent play. Take out the debacle of the first three weeks and they have played .598 pace over the past 103 games, so 22-15 isn’t at all unrealistic. Similarly, Cleveland built up their cushion in the first half and have been playing .500 for the past two months, so that’s not unrealistic either. That’s why they play it, right? But a couple game lead at this point is anywhere but insurmountable.
  24. IndianaTwin
    Lewis gets credit for a sacrifice fly and an RBI.
  25. IndianaTwin
    I wasn't able to watch/listen, but from the sounds of things, giving up five runs in nine innings is about what they might have expected with the overall pitching performance from the team. It's just unfortunate (and much more noticeable) when it happens in the way it did.
