Been a week or so since I checked in. How is Scott Erickson doing these days? Or Kevin Tapani? Or whoever the hell we are comparing him to?

2-3 with a 3.90 ERA?

BTW, Arraez is still batting .371 with a .422 OB%. ZERO errors in 189 chances.

Trekkie and I had a lot of fun with this schtick at the game yesterday.

How is Miami doing as a team versus MN as a team? Brad doesn't want MN to win road series at NY or Houston apparently.....teams need pitching; they can find hitting.

The comparason was Sonny Gray at 33 versus Morris at 36 but Brad H also forgot to mention how he said 91 wasn't built on pitching even thought they had 3 pitchers in the top 7 for Cy Young consideration....

Arraez is leading a surging Miami offense. They were 30 out of 30, now they are tied for 28.

Joey Gallo has had 9 good at-bats this season. Every 1-in-11 times at the plate he gives you something to cheer about.

Have fun with that. I'm not spending any more money to see a guy bat around the Mendoza Line. He's making $11-million to bat .202. The Twins would be better off giving $11-million back to the city to house the homeless and make the neighborhood look better.


Arraez: 37 Games. 14 Runs, 14 RBI.
Gallo: 32 Games: 17 Runs, 21 RBI.

Which guy is having a bigger impact?


Arraez: 46 Games. 17 Runs, 18 RBI.
Gallo: 39 Games: 20 Runs, 23 RBI.

But OB% is the key to winning, huh?

The couple sitting behind me at the game yesterday asked if I was a Twins radio broadcaster. It's because of all the spot-on commentary I had throughout the game. They had just moved to Minnesota from Georgia and are working on converting themselves from Braves fans to Twins fans. They wore Twins gear. Good first step.

Wow,
I didn't know bleating was a form of spot-on commentary.

Is it really necessary to attack Matt? He's needy at times, but doesn't deserve all the jabs he gets in here. He's a good dude.

Do you really think he wasn't trying to provoke a response with that post?

It probably does to someone from Georgia.

You can never tell with stinger. He is protective of Matt at times. They're country western buddies.

He deserves it…… it’s always intentional to get a rise out of people, but most have him figured out …..
He does love the twins so that is good.

Merry Popkins offense continues to flounder.
Jays came in having lost 9 of 11
Twins are a perfect tonic

Maybe we can trade for Baltimore's pitching coach to straighten him out.

Thank Goodness Gray is a stubborn ass. Seems to keep most of the suck these guys get infected with off of him.

Lewis nears the end of his rehab
has played back/back 3 times in all of this
Hard to believe is only 23

6'2/200

Solid

.333 4HR/10 rbi so far at STP in his limited action.


Castro has 8 stolen bases. SMH. Has become pretty valuable.

Nick Gordon may be the odd-man out when he returns.

Although 2-3 more guys will be on the injured list with some stupid/preventable injuries by then.

Alcala is such damaged goods

Don't think he'll be the same coming back from TJ

Great insight! Maybe you could also be a Twins radio broadcaster.

Is Gordon on the 60-day? I know I'm disappointing myself. But I think he's on the 10-day. Should probably just resign ourselves to him being out a couple months.
