AHHHHHH! We're the Comeback Kids . . . If every team we play is the Detroit Tigers!!

Remember this comeback a few years back?

 

Wouldn't it be something if all the crap of the 1st half is reversed in the second half?  Ha ha.

Love it! 

Better to have 'em and not need 'em than to need 'em and not have 'em.

 

I like these 2 out hits.

 

Thanks!

It's a hit parade.

But, you know ... I really feel for Detroit fans because I know what it feels like when the BP does that ... 

 

 

 

and it ain't over yet ... so I'll just hush now

Alright Alcala, hold the lead!

Are you kidding me? Of course I do.

Breaking news!!! 

Twins trade Jose Berrios for Gregory Soto and promote him to closer.

Sigh… I am not a fan of Alcala. Not going to lie. 

Get someone else warmed up now. 

Alcala can NOT keep the ball in the ballpark.

Top of the line up were part of our organization once upona time...

And this is what comes of celebrating too early .... 

Yeay!

He kept it in the park that time.

Don't forget ... if you want to watch and talk about the draft as it's ongoing ... here is the thread to do that in ... https://twinsdaily.com/forums/topic/52380-2021-mlb-draft-megathread/?_rid=7

 

But Alcala is going to be soooooo gooood! All that stuff! He will become Pressly one day, you know. Might take years and years, but don't judge that trade yet! And all that team control. We can have that unrealized potential around until it finally starts to maybe happen and then trade him for prospects and wait years again for the trade to prove itself as worthwhile. The new Twins Way. 

Man, you guys can be a tough audience.  Most of these guys have only a fraction of time in the Show, under their belt.

I think the pressure and the physical competition causes some of these guys to take a lot more time to be 'Show' ready.

Can't just go to Rogers for a 4 out save here, eh? Very dangerous to give Robles an inherited runner...... Hell, dangerous to give anyone on the staff an inherited runner....

But that is why the formula is so wonderful. Take a guy that is show ready, and trade him for someone that takes a lot more time and painful years perhaps, to be show ready themselves. Hope and dreams is a fine place to live.

So Rocco's getting married during the All Star break?   I wish him the best.  Maybe getting married and having his kid will loosen things up for him.

Yeah, I can definitely see that point of view.

I'm juvenile. The Tigers have a pitcher named, "*uck Barmer"
