I like following up that Mejia LH slider with Duffey's RH hook.  

 

It's good to see Mejia make it through 7 innings for once. Let's hope he can keep this up and eat some more innings that the bullpen wouldn't have to account for.

 

if Mejia can be decent he'd become a third decent guy in the rotation.

 

That will allow me to focus on the bullpen as the item remaining in the "why didn't you do something about it" box. 

 

Alright all.  I'm done for the night.  GO TWINS!

 

West Coast teams are tough to stay awake for

Buxton did a Buxton thing

Can't be around for much today-  it's the annual singing contest at school.  Couple of my students are banana MCs....  can't  miss that, eh?

 

 

I'm a legit 5-9

 

I've had conversations with actual college basketball players and looked them in the eye while holding a program that lists them as 6-1. 

Funny incident: Met Scott Studwell once at an autograph thingy. I'm 6' 3" same height as Mr. Studwell. I remember initially thinking okay, and...then I realized he wasn't wearing his pads. Duh, autograph signing. Anyway, Studwell, without pads was about the same size I would have been if I'd have been wearing pads.

 

Another time, I ran into Randy Bush at the Metrodome. He wasn't nearly as built as Mr. Studwell, but he wasnot a small man either. Again, same height as me, but with a lot more muscle.

and on the other side of the coin,

 

bullpen doing bullpen things

Who is the jackhole screaming for the angels on the broadcast?

Rosario's needs to be benched for a few games. That catch was uncalled for.

Duffey's been brutal as of late. Maybe Hildenberger could take his role?

Hey, it's the 4th, after all

Okay, Sano beats out an infield roller and Kepler, well..

 

I was laughing so hard my wife wanted to know what happened and all I could tell her is that "it's baseball."

 

Excellent hustle by Sano.

If it's on the internet, it HAS to be true...

I'm pretty sure that it's accurate, because I read it on the Internet. Internet studies have shown that about 94.73 percent of statistics quoted from the Web were made up on the spot.

This was back during the Seventies, right? The era of platform shoes? :>

Twins win!

Hey, just got back in time for chicken! 

 

 

Unintentional Yogi-ism of the day...

 

Jack Morris: "He's got the corner on the circle." 

 

Geometry joke!

Maybe he was holding a lot of helium balloons when the team weighed him?

Wait a second here. Does that actually work?

Thanks to all for another entertaining and educational game blog. Always gives enjoyment no matter the score.
