When the roster would be improved by leaving the spot open, is when I get irked.

I asked Alexa which Apple product I should consider buying, and she responded with "Considering your bank account, juice."

Griffin Jax's rise to the majors is a nice story. But as with many, many other similar pitchers in the past he has little to no room for error. He's gotta execute almost perfectly because if he doesn't, well, look what just happened.

Nevertheless he has 8 K's in 4 innings. But he still can't get away with mistakes.

Talk of the Field of Dreams Game on Thursday…What should Twins fans root for?  Maybe that the cornfield swallows up both teams? 

I don’t know. Jax was doing a great job of mixing up pitches and locations and getting chase swings before those home runs. The home runs came on center-cut, belt high fastballs.

As former Twins pitcher Kenny Rogers said about fastballs down the middle, you gotta know when to throw ‘em and know when to hold ‘em

Walk away.

I know that was a long run but Miguel Sano is such a horrible first baseman!

Run?

Holy cow, 10 Ks in 5 innings for Jax? He got 2 Ks in his previous 10.1 innings... interesting.

My dad is a fellow long standing twins fan (and sufferer). After that first inning, he looked at me and said “let’s hope that’s not the end of the scoring”.

 

but we both knew,

The only kind of hit Rooker can get these days.

Mrs Chief and I were getting dressed for church Sunday when I looked at her and said "Your underwear is just too tight. It doesn't look good."

"Well, wear your own then," she said.

I blame Stringer.

Why does abreu have a rubber band in his goatee like captain Lou Albano 

Well, solid start for Jax today. The rookie starters haven't been great, but have certainly been an upgrade from Happ and Shoemaker.

Hey, nice outing by Griffin Jax. I’d love to see them try to give him the seventh inning. Backend of the order, he’s got 83 pitches, let’s see if he can give ys seven innings. I have to admit I’m a little surprised by how well he’s doing, but he might be real.

Add me to the surprised list.... Pleasantly.

I didn't know pleasantly kept such a list.

Not drawing any premature conclusions, but way to go, Captain Jax. Mistake to Engel, but a good outing nonetheless.

Give him the seventh.   More confidence in him than our pen.

Green light Sano!!!
