  1. And no mountain in Mountain Lake, MN. Also, no actual rally in Rally Sausage. Too soon?
  2. That’s quite a quintet of obscurity! Five worthy candidates. Thanks for including the back. On this set, it almost seems like I remember the back as well as the front. The comment on the Traded set had me wondering. Recognizing that they didn’t happen every year, what’s the most significant Twin card from a Traded set?
  3. I haven't been a baseball manager, but as a manager in a lot of other situations, I've found that public humiliation is rarely the most effective way to motivate people for positive change. Another key part of managing people is knowing them well enough to discern what kind of accountability is going to be most helpful in which situation. We also have no idea what's happening behind closed doors. Look at today's lineup, for example. Might the fact that Margot is in center today rather than Castro be a part of the accountability equation? If I'm remembering correctly, last season Kepler had a couple mental gaffes in the midseason and later credited some significant conversations with Rocco as being key to his turning his season around.
  4. To those crying for Castro not to be in center, you get your wish today:
  5. There are other ways to hold players accountable besides benching.
  6. That would be inconvenient, in that they have a home game tomorrow.
  7. Yes. It gets measured in total, so four runs in nine innings would not be considered a QS, ironically enough, even though three runs in six innings is.
  8. What's the combined monetary value of 25 mother pigs and 25 male deer? That would be 50 sows and bucks.
  9. Carry me on without me, folks. Hawkeye native needs to catch WNBA opening night.
  10. So you're saying it's not a conspiracy? /s Agree with many -- option availability and timing are key.
  11. That’s your (tied for) first place (for a few minutes) Minnesota Twins.
  12. Checking in with IT Jr. from Four Winds Field in South Bend, watching the Kernels hook up with the homestanding Cubs.
  13. Listening on the radio. How large is the crowd? Or is it just an active crowd mic?
  14. Thinking of driving out of town tonight for better darkness.
  15. I will. It's almost like he's done some things right to get this job. Meanwhile, I'm typing away on TD. 😀
  16. Things even out. Bichette got in the way and helped his team on the previous ball and Jax got in the way and helped his team as well.
  17. And now Kiner-Falefa has a chance to victimize his former team in a clutch situation.
  18. Giving Duran 1-2-3 in the order makes great sense in itself. And you just saw the additional reason it makes sense. Duran pitched in the one-run situation and Jax will have at least at a two-run lead. Otherwise, Jax gets Guerrero down a run and Duran gets the easier two-run lead.
  19. Agreed. Case of 24 Diet Dews, preferably. After all, Mountain Dew isn't just for breakfast anymore.
  20. But apparently a pretty bright baseball lifer who could have been an Ivy League nerd if he wasn't so good at baseball. From his wikipedia page: "Not only did Baldelli excel at sports, but in the classroom as well.[1] There (a college prep high school) he posted a 4.25 grade point average. On the SAT, he scored 1300, and considered attending University of North Carolina, Wake Forest University, Princeton University and Yale University.[1]" Kimmey, Will. "2002 Minor League Player of the Year." 2002. Baseball America. Electronic. November 26, 2013.
  21. Since we've all found it so helpful (and productive) to discuss what an "ace" is, we should try to do the same with "pipeline," right? 🤣 When we've got that one taken care of, we'll move on consider whether the carbonated beverage is "pop" or "soda."
