What happened to Alcala?

Hope this click will be the start for him, just in time to start the season

Episode 3 …

Hey, more games than that. Lots of games in the summer as that’s where the Mussels play

Here in Fort Myers, Florida, lots of rain and heavy rain and some thunder/lightning action mixed in

As I said, all suspicious. MLB will investigate and we will see the outcome.

Rose gambled on baseball while he was a player/manager. That is prohibited. I don’t think Ohtani’s interpreter gambled on baseball, but who knows? And was it Ohtani who actually was the one gambling? It all seems suspicious, but hopefully MLB will do a thorough investigation. For the record, here is the MLB rule regarding gambling. If I’m reading it incorrectly, unless he was gambling on baseball or gambling illegally, it’s not against the rules. We will see what the investigation turns up. (d) GAMBLING. (1) Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has no duty to perform, shall be declared ineligible for one year. (2) Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform, shall be declared permanently ineligible. (3) Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee who places bets with illegal book makers, or agents for illegal book makers, shall be subject to such penalty as the Commissioner deems appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances of the conduct. Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee who operates or works for an illegal bookmaking business shall be subject to a minimum of a one-year suspension by the Commissioner. For purposes of this provision, an illegal bookmaker is an individual who accepts, places or handles wagers on sporting events from members of the public as part of a gaming operation that is unlawful in the jurisdiction in which the bets are accepted.

I may check out the game tomorrow, that would be my last chance. I don’t have tickets for Friday and Saturday my Mom and I have other plans, then it’s back north on Sunday. I’ve seen quite a bit, though, in my time here, so I’m happily sated. 🙂

So? He understands what ST is for

Ted, are the games starting at 1 in the back?

Varland will be our 5th starter … who is our depth past that? Clevenger won’t be better than Varland, imo. If he wants to be minor league depth and pitch in AAA just in case, maybe.

Why you can never have enough pitching. Also emphasizing how last year’s relative health played into the Twins success.

No, I thought there was indication he was coming along soon. Certainly not 60-day unless you’ve heard something new?

Well, crap …

Correa, man, that. Was. Awesome!

Joe hitting a bump

That was a home run thanks to the wind. It was heading very foul and the wind just pushed it fair

Mostly cloudy right now but clouds supposed to clear in an hour or so. Still nice and warm, though. 🙂

Buxton scratched from today’s game, as a precaution, due to lower back tightness. Not exactly an injury, yet, but definitely one to watch.

No photos yet. Buxton scratched due to lower back tightness. I get that one but he’s young and I’m almost 62. Red Sox lineup: Twins lineup:

I’d say that the number of people who stuck around for the game is about what you’d get at a minor league game. As I said above, I’d like to see this next year, but have it be the only game, have it be the feature of the day.

It did make for a long day at the ballpark. I thought about coming to the first game part way through but then I didn’t want to have to park a mile away so I ended up getting there early for the first game and leaving after the 3rd inning of the 2nd. I feel like I got to see who and what I wanted. But yes, wish more had stuck around even for the bit that I did. I think Soto was the highlight for me. Yeah, he gave up quite a few runs and walked several, but he’s young and wow, what power and so young. I hope that doesn’t mean an injury waiting to happen. But it was just fun to see, even just the three innings. I’d like to see this being the only game of the day. While the minor leaguers do play on the backfields, I’d like to see this highlighted game be front and center and the only game of the day

Have some video but will post later. Twins have tied it thanks to some walks followed by hits followed by walks
