  1. It's raining in South Minneapolis now. Supposed to rain off an on throughout game time, possible thunder and lightning. Likely be a wet one. Hope they get it in
  2. Didn't look like it to me. Not conclusive anyway. Tip of his glove was under the ball from what I saw.
  3. I was not aware that Olson accomished this last season: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1KJBcNM7Gc/
  4. Anyone remember Jim Eisenreich? Dude could hit, but he struggled with Tourette's Syndrome and had pronounced facial and body tics. Riley has a slight tic.
  5. Had to watch with MN feed. They felt the tipped pitch hit the ground. Imho from replay it would not have been overturned. Good to win games like this Maybe Montero can be a pleasant surprise
  6. F, I, double N E, gan spells Finnegan
  7. 67 pitches to his first K. That's the longest he'd gone in his career.
  8. Twins announcer said Skubal's velo is down tonight. Also, just second start of his career without a K through 3 innings. Longest he'd gone this year without a K was 33 pitches. So far he is at 53
  9. Milwaukee is 27-4 in their last 31. Very close to the 84 Tigers 35-5
  10. Baltimore just beat Seattle 5-3. Enns was Baltimore's closer. Yikes
  11. Scherzer just outdueled Boyd 2-1. Both pitched very well.
  12. Rain is still west of Minneapolis. I'm in south mpls and it's overcast, but not wet. I'll link radar. Supposed to be thunder and rain in pockets. Maybe it will miss downtown.

  13. Wish they could bump up the start time. Not sure if they get this one in.
  14. Steve Searcy Syndrome
  15. I agree, but I also think those who want him called up to Detroit now are going to be disappointed. That's not Harris' approach.
  16. Of course players can do it - Miggy, Harper and Trout were all up at age 19. With JV, it was DD in charge. He isn't cautious. Harris is a different boss. He just said last week he isn't bringing anyone up early, and they will all go through each step of development. If he promotes McGonigle to aaa now, perhaps he could be up mid September.
  17. I think Harris will only trade Skubal for an incredible package. The Tigers should be in contention again next season, and it also makes sense to keep Skubal and take the draft pick. We'll find out soon enough.
  18. Whew! Melton, SGL, Finnegan and Vest. Those will be vital arms for the final stretch. Not sure if I trust any lefties in the pen right now
  19. I live in Minneapolis......there is a collective booooooo heard around the city today.
  20. Pitching chaos isn't going to work this year. Brieske, Hurter, Holton, Foley were all pitching very well.
  21. I believe Jason said the ChiSox have a better record than Detroit post all-star game.
  22. Harris has stated in multiple interviews that he will not promote a player out of need, only when he feels the player is developmentally ready. And he has stressed the process of developing through every phase of the farm. I don't see the top of the farm guys up with the team until next mid-season at the earliest.
  23. Is Skubal up tomorrow?
  24. Check and see who got dfa'd this week. Harris will bring him in for the bullpen.
  25. Is Johnny on vacation? Or did the new guy take his place?
