Why I'd say it's going to rain sometime in the next month or so.

I have found women pretty consistent in their dislike for paragraphs like this one.

I wish you'd keep pictures of Uranus to yourself...   Yes, I am aware that isn't Uranus.

Even dumber than that... My buddy and I were trying to make nitroglycerin. The teacher wouldn't tell us how.

 

Twins Daily is either for the better, or for the worse because of that teacher. Everyone will have to form their own opinion! :)

Dozier would have reached out and had his glove at thigh level and then showed to ump his glove, and Santana would have been safe. Correa keeps his glove low and makes the tag. I hope Dozier watches and learns. Might be too much to ask, though.

Bert has talked about it lots of times, and it's also true in tennis: If you want the ball to bite downwards, you have to punch your fingers over the ball at the release point. If you don't fire those finger missiles, the ball won't bite down. For instance, lots of people can swat a tennis serve very fast, but they have no idea why it sails flat and long. Opening up too soon and not jabbing your fingers are the two reasons the ball sails long. Same thing must be true with pitching. 

 

I wonder if Neil Allen just told Duffey that...

Remember when everyone touted Monitor as this tremendous base running guru who would gain us all kinds of runs on the bases as a manager? Those were the days.

I was thinking the same thing.  Well said.  

 

Monitor needs to put on a base running clinic more frequently.

I don't remember a Twins team ever having this many baserunning mistakes.  Maybe I've just walled off that corner of my mind.

 

Or maybe I'm old and I forget stuff, that could be it too.

 

Nice inning here if Sano had stayed on second.
