Yes. All employers ought be required to have IL disability in addition to PTO. As much as you need to get back to 100%. I have a zit on my butt cheek, painful to sit at the desk. 14 days should clear it up. Much like bi-lateral leg weakness. As I told the boss, no sense in pushing through these things.

The absurdity of this earns a like

Buxton has residual soreness.  I bumped my arm in the doorway.  It's a little sore.  Is that residual soreness?

When a hockey player gets hurt a lot of teams keep the injury details a total secret. This is why

Promoted tweet:

 

Maeda with a 78-pitch, 45 minute first inning* where he labored to load the bases, then comes back with an 11 pitch second inning in which he struck out the side. 

 

* slightly exaggerated

Sano now 1 for 11 with the bases loaded with 5 Ks... if you like RBIs and HRs, then you might be deluded to think he's having a good season, but man are so many of his PAs just brutal. His K% rate is now up to 39%.

Seems like Maeda is getting hit, BUT he does have six strikeouts through 2.2!

I don’t like shift defense.

2 K’s for Sano!  That hurts!

One hour 20 minutes in, we are one-third of the way through a nine inning game on the west coast. At this rate the game will be over at 1:10 AM. I don’t think I can last nearly that long. 

Kirilloff!!  He and Larnach hitting lefties nice to see!

Last season Twins risp was 2.60/game, which would be best in mlb this season. Now Twins are 24th at 3.60/g.

1:30 pm down under

 

Sano had 6 LOBs when he struck out twice.   

Gilberto!

 

Celestino joining in the fun!   Good to see that - now to work on his throwing accuracy.  

Who else besides Kirilloff runs hard to first?  I see so many slow up as they approach the bag or stop on the bag.

He is getting better!  He needs to improve his throwing accuracy.    

Celestino goes yard!—thanks heavens Buxton needed another day

Too busy working for that, still working on some aspects of being Australian as I moved down from the states 8 years ago.

No worries, love my baseball, of course especially the Twins. Cricket just isn't quite the same although in some ways I really enjoy following the sport. 

This bullpen is killing me!!!!!

That looked like at least a 10 day wall crush.

 

Do the twins not have warning tracks in fort Myers or something?

Another unscheduled meeting with the center field wall for a Twins center fielder... looks like we can put Celestino on the IL tomorrow when Buxton comes off the IL

happy for the kid, to be sure, and he’ll be all right I think

If given a choice, would you choose to die by Twins bullpen, or by salmon mousse?
