Duran and Sands not available Sunday. Alcala threw 21 pitches, not particularly effectively. Topa didn’t pitch today, so I have to wonder if he’s activated for tomorrow, with Alcala back to St. Paul.

Oops. Google let me down (like that's never happened before). So yeah, let's call it predictive.

Well, duh. Donuts are always good, but this would have been a more appropriate picture for today. Two hours until post time.

Yes indeed to the Rod Carew Game. It was t-shirt day, with all kids under 12 getting a Carew t-shirt. The actual attendance for the day was at least two less than was announced. My brother-in-law very much wanted a t-shirt, so he bought an extra pair of tickets. We went in to our left-field seats, got the shirt and exited, then returned the t-shirt to the car and went in to our real seats down the right field line. Carew still calls it his most memorable game as a Twin. A couple years ago on a panel at Twins Fest, I was able to ask about it, and he talked for several minutes. We had also gone to the game the day before, where Adams was perceived to have jogged after a fly ball that dropped in an 8-1 loss, so fans were on him a little bit on Sunday.

Know him? I invoked his name in a conversation last evening. The record-setting shot put/discus thrower at the high school IT Junior graduated from (and still volunteers at as the PA guy) is named Borgmann, so I asked him if she was related to Glenn. In explaining who Glenn was, I was able to recite a regular lineup from the 1974 Twins, one of the first of which I threw simulated games tossing tennis balls against the side of the house. Also of note is that he wore No. 12. That memory comes from getting a t-shirt with the number 12. It came with iron-on letters, so I had my mom put "Twins" on the front. I was probably the only kid who ever had a green Eric Soderholm shirsey. I'm old enough for Soderholm, Cubbage and Castino, but not Rollins.

You live in Chicago. It could have turned out worse.

Speaking of summer sausage, I had some leftover brats in the fridge. The kids didn't like them, so Mrs. IT said to throw them out. So I did, but now what am I going to do with all the leftover brats?

How ‘bout those third-place Twins…

Excellent continuation of Hosiery Week.

I read this week that the Titanic’s swimming pool is still filled with water.

Passan says for three prospects. Rosenthal says it’s four.

Arraez to the Padres, per the radio guys.

Which Sox are we playing?

Happy once, happy twice.

I was under the impression that Benetti left because owner Jerry Reinsdorf didn't care for his humor. It's a bummer for me, because our cable system has the Sox and not the Tigers. I've found the new guy to be so-so, neither overwhelmingly good nor bad, but at least Stone is still there.

If you don't care about size, you can get these in bulk. Close enough to a mascot?

Sorry -- I can't keep up with the changes!

Like the conference, may the Big Ten streak grow to 16.

Is This Process Worth the Results for Byron Buxton?
IndianaTwin replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
2023: Byron only DHs at the beginning of the season (and as it turns out, for the year as a whole). TD response: "What?!?!? Byron has to play CF to be valuable. Just stick him in CF and let him play as long as he can. Then put him on the IL." 2024: Byron plays in 27 of the first 29 games, with 18 starts in CF. TD response: "Does Byron need more rest?" I fear we're well on the way to Brock's dead-horse emoji.- 36 replies
