    Okert on to throw BP

    It's nice to have a leadoff hitter with speed, and we saw him score from first on a single a few games back. So, absolutely - look out Rickey Henderson, Christian Vázquez is the new ideal leadoff hitter. 😎 My serious answer is the main benefit of hitting leadoff is having that person get more plate appearances. That's not something we want for a player whose main selling point for the role is he improves from horrible to adequate when the bases are empty.

    I did it too. We won't know for sure until we see if I remember to cancel it.

    I don't, but then I only went to one, and it was pretty traumatic. After 5-1/2 innings and 3 rain delays they finally called it. The Twins lost to the White Sox 5-1. The next two days they had double-headers - one added because of the game 2 rain-out on the Friday when I went plus one previously scheduled. The Twins swept both. The only positive was I got to see Wilbur Wood pitch.

    It's a weekly thing.

    If she gives us a quality start I'll forgive her for telling us "Buxton is fine. Scheduled day off..." the day after he crashed into the wall and the day before he sat out his second game in a row with a back injury. I know, it probably wasn't her fault and she was just repeating what buck or someone with the team told her, but I repeated it on the game thread as a fact when I was really tempted to add a snarky "which means he'll be day to day for the next week or more."

    D-Backs were 1 - 2 in save attempts tonight. 7-6 final in Cleveland.

    They came close to walking it off - the sac fly that tied the game was deep. Good news - they get another chance because they brought their ghost runner around to score in the

    Nope, never. And they're not just truer. They're more truer.

    They might be running the wrong direction around the bases, but at least they know to keep on going.

    Not Twins-related, but a fun article on MLB.com: https://www.mlb.com/news/danny-jansen-could-play-for-both-teams-in-a-game If I were the manager, Jansen would definitely be in the game. So it's not quite as fun as it could have been, but I still hope he gets to do it. (It's hard to believe it has never happened before.)

    Audra Martin (TV sideline reporter) just said no need to worry, Buxton is on a scheduled day off.

    At first glance, I thought he was holding a beer. Then I was disappoionted because he looks like he should be holding a beer.

    Joke's on him - that 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme is now a classic, well on it's way to becoming an antique. I'd say that's a pretty good return. It is funny to think about Falvey talking about someone else's "know-it-all face."

    You might be thinking of Festa - he didn't get out of the first inning at Louisville on Friday night.

    Better be well below slot

    Still trying to trade Duensing after all these years.

    That explains why I didn't see him catching tonight in Louisville. My view from earlier tonight. It wasn't a good night for the visitors.

    You're gonna have to be day-to-day for a month before they can IL you.

    Googling glossectomy. OUCH! May I suggest a few more candidates for the procedure? 😎

    I also went to just one twins game that year. Carew also hit a HR in that game, but it was more memorable for Dave Goltz throwing a 1-hit shutout against a strong Red Sox team.

    They mentioned health issues for both Kepler (neck) and Larnach (foot). It might be that he really wanted to get them both a couple of days off (or in Kepler's case, a couple more days off.) We're getting close to the point where we might have been better off putting Kep on the IL and getting Wallner up. But the cupboard is pretty bare for LH bats right now.

    That might be the ceiling at this point.
