  1. When one’s bullpen is tired, it’s preferable to need fewer than 79 pitches to get through four innings.
  2. Consider becoming a Caretaker. Best money I ever spent. I mean, besides the ring for the future Mrs. IT.
  3. And the lady monitoring the elevator behind home plate.
  4. While posting in 99-degree heat from Milwaukee yesterday, I mentioned that this would be my attire tonight. When it is 89 degrees for first pitch on a 6:05 p.m. start, I do.
  5. I’ll be at the game tomorrow night as well. I’ll be the guy in the “I Miss the Metrodome” t-shirt.
  6. Having Julien on second or third there would have kinda convenient.
  7. And speaking of being here, have you noticed the “open here” language on the top of milk cartons? What if you are someplace else?
  8. I’m here. It’s miserable. They’re handing out towels with coolers of ice water available for soaking them in.
  9. I think part of his point is that we rarely (never?) have all the information that the team does, but TD is often filled with declarative statements, rather than acknowledging that there may be more to the story. (Apologies to the Captain if the part after the comma overstated his meaning.)
  10. That’s the damned if you do, damned if you don’t part of managing. The same question could have been asked last night, “How do we find out if Flora can be trusted if he doesn’t get an opportunity?” (I’m not speaking for or against either decision, just noting the parallel.)
  11. Checking in from Section 121. I’m meeting a Brewers fan, so I’ll probably not be online much.
  12. I’m a big fan of “propreantepenultimate,” as in, “The Twins will travel to Chicago in mid-September for the propreantepenultimate series of the regular season.”
  13. So 1964 had Allison (162), Killebrew (153) and Oliva (150). And yet finished 6th, with Grant, Kaat and Pascual in the rotation.
  14. In terms of OPS+, Killebrew's 1967 (173) was nearly the equal of his 1969 (177). He had "only" a .269/.408/.558 (.965) in 1967 compared to .269/.427/.584 (1.011) in 1969, but 1967 was a tougher environment to hit in. In 1969, he had the advantage of expansion and a lower mound. But I still lean Carew.
  15. Good as he was, he might still improve their lineup. Then add Casey Mize to the mix and that would help their pitching staff. 😃
  16. Well, Ober's ERA has climbed from 2.76 to 3.40 over the course of four starts, thanks to 14 earned runs in 19 innings. His WHIP is 1.89 in that span. I'd consider encouraging a "tired arm" IL stint.
  17. Friday Blizzard, Sunday Blizzard. On Saturday, I had two slices of the peach pie made by Mrs. IT. I probably wouldn't have been able to handle a Blizzard anyway. At any rate, the Magic Number has hit the freezing point for water!
  18. Or they do the "home games only" model for a year or two, potentially with road games only from the Central division, etc.
  19. Probably not. Hard to reach that far from the dugout.
  20. Climb on to your roof. I hear they're on the house today.
  21. Speaking of, do you know what 50 Cent did when he got hungry? 58.
  22. Keuchel seems more effective with eight days’ rest than with four.
  23. Speaking of a hoe, I’m a big fan of those, along with spades, shovels, post-hole diggers and other groundbreaking inventions.
  24. I wouldn’t know what Gladden said. Something gave me the urge to listen to KDKA for several innings.
