Today, High Junk Peak. Had to come all the way back down for chicken, tho...

Zoinks! Had a morning hike, and got back just in time for the festivities. Looked like Gonzo was frustrated with himself going down the line, and said something like, "I can't believe he got me out with that weak-arse doo-doo." And then Kelly yapped at ;him like little puppy dogs do, and said something like, "Whaddya mean? I have the best weak-arse doo-doo around!" Isn't he the same guy who beaned Max K? Then he needs to have his nose rubbed in it a little.

Oh, so more likely snowing than raining... Ouch, sorry. Low-hanging fruit.

Heh.... you have to be of a certain vintage to know whose image that is....

Well, especially recently, it's a matter of whom we've been sending around 3rd lately. Cron- an M1 Tank. Garver- not much faster. Neither Adrianza nor Arraez have anything you'd call decent wheels. I'd be much more confident with Hamilton PR-ing than anyone else but Bux. There is no speed whatsoever on the Twins bench right now, and that quality comes in handy in the late season.

Starts and ends with starting pitching. Our rotation has stepped back instead of stepping up, every single one of 'em. Jake O was more lucky than good in the one game they won. Makina showed signs, but somebody needs to step up, and now.

Man, is it good having Cron back at 1st.

Jake's night:

Correct in its assumption. There's no way to say he would have hit a grand slam, and the possibility against a side-winding Loogy is far less. But the question is, which would you rather have, Kepler coming up with the bases loaded, or leading off an inning? I'd take option A.

Hm. Kep hit a dinger. A solo dinger. Hm.

Not sure I agree with you 100% on your 3rd-base coaching there, Tony.

Why, oh why, oh why do we send M-1 tanks like Cron in those situations? We've got Max coming up, potentially with bases loaded and the pitcher on the ropes- probably a Loogy coming in, but Max has been tattooing lefties this year. What in the living blankety blank?

Don't stop now, boys! ™ Seriously, don't stop. Methinks we're going to need at least 5 this game.

That Twins #2 is #1 with me!

Jake- the walks, we gotta talk about the walks. Slo-mo car crash any moment now.

Hey, Garver's in the game! So, maybe we don't need to put his picture on milk cartons just yet...

Just checked in to the game- 2nd inning- is Jake over 50 pitches yet?

Cripe, Clevenger's hat looks like he's got mold growing on it.
