    Better than 13-run games.

    I gather that there are mixed reviews of Perkins on TV, but I've been enjoying him on radio. And that's not just because the alternative is Gladden -- Perkins is actually enjoyable (and insightful). He also has a command of the English language.

    Bit of a geneology junkie here. My great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather, Peter Joder Sr., was born in 1235. His son, Peter Jr., was born in 1260 in Jodershuebel, Berne, Switzerland. And so forth.

    No. My first cousin's child is my first cousin, once removed. My son is a second cousin to my first cousin's child.

    And according to Atteberry, Bader is the first cousin, once removed, of Scott Baio of Chachi fame.

    Rain?

    Reportedly did treadmill and other work with no complaints on Saturday, with plans for "hitting and throwing progressions and 'low-level' plyometric exercises" on Sunday.

    Sorry -- wasn't clear. As in, Olson had started the original game. With his DFA, the Red Sox will need to bring a new catcher into the game.

    Fun things with trades: In a few weeks, Danny Jansen could become the first guy to play for both teams in a single game. The Red Sox and Blue Jays had a game suspended in the second inning in May and are scheduled to complete it in August. The Red Sox DFAed Reese Olson after acquiring Jansen, so they will need to bring in a new catcher. It could have been even better. Jansen was at the plate with an 0-1 count when the game was suspended. Had it been 0-2 and the pinchhitter struck out, it would have been charged to Jansen, meaning he could have received both the offensive strikeout and the defensive putout on the same play.

    3. Yes. But Woods Richardson is short of Encarnacion-Strand.

    2. Pale Hose are deeply in the cellar. They've had three 14-game losing streaks in their entire history. Two have been in the last nine weeks. On pace for 122 losses. Couldn't happen to a better team.

    Kirilloff went on the 10-day IL on June 13, and we haven’t had any update. I’m guessing he could easily slide to the 60-day.
  13. IndianaTwin
    They have Lopez, Ryan, Ober, SWR and Paddack all under contract for 2025, followed by Varland, Festa, Zebby and other people I'm not thinking of. They also have guys increasing in cost (Lopez, Correa, arbitration folks). Though it's been their past MO, I don't see them prioritizing years of control in any acquisitions this year. It makes more sense to pay much less and get a pure half-season rental (Kikuchi, etc.).

    The Giants and Mets probably were right, in that signing a 28-year-old to 12 years or more isn't a good idea (though they shouldn't have offered him that in the first place). But that doesn't mean the Twins weren't right in offering him six years.
  15. IndianaTwin
    Ober did have 167 innings pitched last year, including the minors. He's on pace for 169.
  16. IndianaTwin
    Shoes are most definitely not just shoes. They make a difference. Ask Cliff.
  17. IndianaTwin
    Cleveland has four regular position players with an OPS+ below Eduard Julien. Their rotation has three starters with an ERA+ below Chris Paddack. It's their bullpen that's been lights out and carrying them. On the left are the innings pitched by Cleveland's bullpen guys. The Twins are on the right. Three Cleveland guys are on pace for 74+ innings, with three more close behind. This looks like injuries (or loss of effectiveness) waiting to happen.
  18. IndianaTwin
    Alex Kirilloff went on the 10-day IL June 13. With not having heard updates and it being a back injury, it doesn’t seem impossible to think of him moving to the 60-day.
  19. IndianaTwin
    On the bright side, Vazquez needing to play third pushed Lee to second. Not sure that Julien would have made the plays at second that Lee did.
  20. IndianaTwin
    Nice. As a kid, I also started following the Twins in 1973 on WHO, which also led me to think that Jim Holt was better than he probably actually was.
  21. IndianaTwin
    Maybe they could do that thing NL managers used to do when they were stuck using a pitcher as a position players. Alternate Lee and Jeffers between 2nd and 3rd depending on whether a lefty or a righty is at the plate.
  22. IndianaTwin
    And even if they don't know the lineup, I think a lot of managers (including Rocco, if I remember reading correctly) communicate a tentative word to a regular after a game about having the next day off or to a bench player that they will likely be in the lineup.
  23. IndianaTwin
    How 'bout that convincing lineup?

    Tonight's my Golden Anniversary. In the big scheme of things, the Tigers beating the Royals 8-2 on July 13, 1974, had no real impact on the standings, and there were no particularly noteworthy individual performances. But I was sitting at Royal Stadium in Section 119, Row JJ, Seat 4, taking in my first-ever Major League Baseball game, so it was a game of epic proportions.
  25. IndianaTwin
    I'll gladly trade two outs for a run.
