  1. Congratulations to AL batting champ Luis Arraez. And with the balanced interleague schedule in 2023, he might be the last meaningful one.
  2. Per Ted: "...short starts aren’t simply a Twins thing, and they really aren’t a Baldelli thing either. Baseball has trended toward pulling pitchers earlier as hitters have become so much more advanced, and there are so few truly elite arms." Ted, in what way statistically do you mean this?
  3. This win is a perfect nunc dimittis for me and this version of my favorite baseball team. My commentary on the 2022 Twins ends here. Root them on well, whatever happens. The randomness in performance, the constant running on half an engine and the ludicrous volume of injuries are no longer worth my energy and time this autumn. Go Twins.
  4. A win is a win is a win. Time to up my HCTZ dosage considerably. White Sox up big early at Oakland. Looks like Twins and Sox will be 1.5 GB back at night's end.
  5. Depends on how far one views the pipeline. Wichita, Cedar Rapids and Fort Myers are either first or second in their leagues in fewest runs allowed for the season, regardless of the system ratings. None of that emerges to the big stage until 2024, which is frustrating, but that's a very positive status. The bigger issue for me is health once they (and field players) arrive at Target Field. Something is badly wrong with the conditioning program at the big club, as I can't accept statistically this much "bad luck." A change there seems to my novice observation to be most important during this coming offseason.
  6. This story has "folk hero" written all over it. No better venue for the debut. Go get 'em, Louie.
  7. Slight title change: from "Judge Homer Beats Twins" to "Bringing in Megill to Face Judge Beats Twins." There, fixed.
  8. Certain Yankee traditions impress me greatly,like hearing Sinatra at game's end or the late Bob Sheppard's voice introducing Derek Jeter in his final playing years. But they'd better not have an automatic "THUHHHHHHHH Yankees win!" recording playing after now 84-year-old announcer John Sterling dies - ewwww.
  9. Curt Flood paid the full price for enabling hundreds of multi-millionaire baseball players to follow. Someone here once clarified the legalities that make such cause and effect less clear, and I appreciated that, but symbolically he took the biggest step. He belongs in Cooperstown solely on that basis.
  10. Crashing, burning, and yet back into a tie for first place. This is the most bizarre Twins season I can remember. No outcome in the stretch run will surprise me. Que sera, sera.
  11. In 11 innings, Seattle beats Cleveland, 6-3. The Twins are somehow tied for first place. I hereby ask Congress to revoke MLB's antitrust exemption should an AL Central team be admitted to the playoffs.
  12. Dylan Bundy is now routinely providing five reliable innings per start and keeping the Twins in each game he pitches. Deserved congrats aplenty, Dylan.
  13. Through six innings, police interrogators will compel criminal suspects.to watch the footage of this game in order to elicit confessions more quickly.
