    You don't even have to be an east coaster to imagine it. I'm only 100 miles east of you, and I have to put up with these late starts. Even home games start as late as 8:10 for me. It's annoying. I'm told that the time zone line should be about 100 miles east of where I live, and most of Indiana is much more oriented to Chicago than it is to New York. I strongly wish we were on Central time. On a related note, Mrs. IT and I just spent 16 days in Alaska in a Covid-delayed celebration of her early retirement from teaching. It was awesome having games played in late-afternoon/early evening and to even have the Oakland games start at a beautiful time.

    I would (see previous comment). It's just a bad idea to immediately change the rules in overtime. I think of it as analogous to soccer, where even those settings that do use penalty kicks almost always do it after a period of "regular play" overtime.

    It's the perfect example of why I don't like going directly to the Manfred Man rule.* Play two more innings straight up and go to those rules in the 12th, if need be. Sands got a ground out and another ground ball that may well have been an out if there wasn't a runner on third. At worst, it's a runner on first. The extreme case is the visiting team pitcher carrying a perfect game to the 10th, where the home team bunts the runner to third and then wins on a sac fly. *And I'd say the same thing if the Twins won that way, though I wouldn't do with such disdain, at least this time.

    The Twins do have Lopez, Ryan, Ober, Paddack, and Woods Richardson (plus Festa, Varland and others) under contract for 2025. This isn't to say that that rotation can't/should be improved, but given that July is always a sellers market, I'd rather only pay a premium for a half season than for 1.5 or 2.5 seasons. Additionally, I think all three of these teams are such that they aren't ready to punt 2025, so I think they'd be reluctant to trade guys they have under control for next year. That said, I do agree with your prediction that the Twins do more tinkering than making a big splash.

    The throw was in the dirt. Virtually any throw that hits the dirt is going to be charged to the thrower, even though I'm sure Santana would say he should have (and probably has) made the play.

    Only because they are dead. However, I would take my chances with the '27 version of Coombs, Koenig, Ruth, Gehrig, Meusel, Lazzeri, Dugan, Vasquez (2024 version), pitcher.
  7. IndianaTwin
    Yes. Or at least probably.

    My brother is more into stair jokes. We were brought up differently.

    Since we were discussing music earlier, you may be interested in James Taylor's updated version of "Fire and Rain."
  10. IndianaTwin
    Very nice, apparently.

    Mariners radio notes that Gilbert walked just one batter in his 35.2 June innings. Respectable.
  12. IndianaTwin
    Though I have to confess that they aren't always on the up and up.
  13. IndianaTwin
    Now that Chief is here, I'm going to break out my collection of elevator jokes. They are good on so many levels.
  14. IndianaTwin
    That ball was bruised.
  15. IndianaTwin
    It's the fourth inning, so a good time for a break from the radio broadcast. This is indeed an enjoyable piece of music.
  16. IndianaTwin
    Ober is 268 years old?
  17. IndianaTwin
    Sounds good.
  18. IndianaTwin
    THIRD BASE!
  19. IndianaTwin
    Get someone ejected and/or suspended.
  20. IndianaTwin
    And Koosman is the other they mentioned.
  21. IndianaTwin
    I specifically said pitchers, not third basemen. But yes on Goltz and Perkins.
  22. IndianaTwin
    D’backs TV report that Thielbar is one of a small group of Minnesota-born pitchers with 300+ strikeouts. They named three others, Though they didn’t specify whether that’s the extent of the list or whether they were only talking about guys who played for the Twins, but all three did. Who are they?
  23. IndianaTwin
    I assume that’s why he got the fifth. At 78 pitches, I’m guessing he won’t get the sixth.
  24. IndianaTwin
    Unfortunately, his final line is going to look ugly. Realistically, if the Twins don’t score a bazillion, Festa doesn’t last as long.
  25. IndianaTwin
    Apparently you never got a book list from my college history prof.
