Cast of Thousands

Pohlad's were glad to do it, I'm sure. Twins history will now be even more about them than Cal. I doubt the Pohlad's needed much urging to get the job done.

Okay? No doubt about it, if we expand it out to my third cousin's former roommate's best friend, we're going to connect sooner or later. Not sure if that really changes anything I commented on but thanks for the response. For sure, if you're a high risk individual or are near one, you should be taking precautions. Or if you're just uncomfortable with that level of risk, I would act accordingly. To the OP, as many others have stated as well, I would go to a game right now, without question. Not trying to pick a fight with anyone, just offering my opinion.

Agree, 100%. People themselves are more most able and best suited to determine their OWN level of risk, with COVID exposure or anything else in life. Assess your own situation, and take the appropriate precautions and measures to do the right thing for yourself and others. And yes, I have yet to know a single person or anyone that knows anyone that has had it. It's time to move on

It's June 8 today. In many places I've been, masks are already almost non-existent other than the staff at various businesses. Things will look a lot different from now by the time the 4th of July rolls around, much less Labor Day. This is moving in the right direction, in a positive direction, more and more every day.

Absolutely. I wouldn't think twice about going to a game right now. I would also bet just about any amount of money that come September, there will be football with stadiums full of fans, without question.

Mind-numbingly stupid to think that the players shouldn't/couldn't agree to some kind of agreement that correlates to revenues for this season alone. The level of uncertainty and unknown is beyond comprehension and the players shouldn't have any skin in the game?

Anyone have an update on a time table for the return of either Rooker or Gordon?

“He showed no signs of rust, delivering three shutout innings of one-run ball” Come again?

13 pitches, 5 strikes. Yikes. Gonna have to do better than that to see action with the big league club.

He's batting .419 in his last 10 games and is having a really, really good season up to this point. And yes, still only 23. 40 games at SS and 28 games at 2B, about a dozen errors on the year, not great, but not terrible either. Good for him, and good for the Twins. Here's hoping he keeps developing and moving forward.

Wowzers. I know it's early but Cavaco has 17 strikeouts in his last 36 PA. That's a rude awakening. Good experience for him to get some GCL time this year though.

I could see a scenario with MadBum, based on how Rocco has used "load management" with a big chunk of the roster already, where the Twins acquire Bum, use him almost like Pineda now, spacing out his starts when possible, more off days, and Bumgarner is rested and ready to roll for the postseason. At the end of the day, if he labored through the season like a 3rd or 4th starter, but made it to the postseason and came up with 3-4 big wins on the way to the Twins in the WS and shows even flashes of what he's done in previous postseasons, he's worth giving up a to 5 prospect.

Tyler Jay.... It's just not looking good. Damn.

How dare you say DL. The politically correct mob has forced a change from the Disabled List to the Injured List.

No love for Dougie M? Come on!!
