As someone who loves to spend at least one summer weekend visiting a new ballpark, the schedule is awful. It is almost exclusively divisional opponents on the road during the summer weekend. And the one weekend I really wanted (Philadelphia) is during the Final Four.

Delay of about an hour sounds like.

I’m at City Works on 7th and Hennepin and it’s monsoon season out right now.

Jake Cave is 25 years old and has gray facial hair. I’d say he’s had it rough, but then I remember he’s making $400,000 this year.

Kepler’s diving catch was my high school career summed up in one play. The questionable route to the ball. The successful dive that would've been unnecessary had I took a good route to the ball in the first place. The feeling that I actually accomplished something, etc.

Nick Gordon almost got his first call up with Dozier’s awkward fall. That was scary looking.

Someone check on Tom Kelly after that incredible brain fart by Garver.

Thanks for playing, Ryan.

Irony is some dude at the game who calls himself Tim Bob being asked to name as many tools as he can.

Just let that sink in for a moment, considering what this team has gone through over the first month and change. Yeah, the central has been garbage so far, but never apologize for that. Getting in the postseason is all that matters as it is a complete crapshoot once you’re in.

That play right there shows just how great of a baserunner Mauer is. He knew no one was covering 3rd, so he was able to distract the fielder. And if they went home with it, Mauer just goes back to 3rd and the bases are loaded.

I took a stopwatch to Wilson's last at bat. All things consistent, he would have a 40 time of 6.31 seconds.

Oh it's definitely Oakland and Tampa. MLB knows the Tampa Bay market is dead and they're just waiting for another city to step up with a new ballpark agreement so they can move them (cough...Montreal). As for Oakland, I think they'll eventually get a new one. I would love it if they tore down Mt. Davis in the meantime once the Raiders are gone.

Yeah, I've had enough Fernando-mania for one lifetime.

So...Trump had himself quite a morning today.

Those turn ahead the clock uniforms and back when Northwest Airlines was a thing.

For those at home, during the anthem, they released a bald eagle, and instead of going to its handler, it decided to perch on a Mariners player. And he looked terrified.

If we were playing Detroit, Gardy would’ve punted the headphones.

That’s a benchable offense. That’s kind of crap infuriates me.

The lower deck screen has to be new. I’ve never seen that before at PNC until now. In any case, having a transparent screen as part of your wall is stupid.

“He will not return to the game.” That...goes without saying, Marny

Yep, that last inning shows how stupid it is to be upset by that. There's no clock in baseball, and crooked numbers can happen in a hurry. You play to the end, especially when the other team is doing everything it can to stop you. And if I'm a manager, my lefties are having lots of practice in spring training learning how to bunt the opposite way, because that's exactly what they would be doing if the defense puts an extreme shift on them.

So are we not allowed to bunt against the shift now?
