I guess we have to call Correa a fraud at this point. He's tearing the cover off the ball in Houston. Apparently that kind of motivation was available for him here in MN.

Pretty sure I was there 3 nights in a row. Matthew Sweet, Vena Cava and Cheap Trick/Flipp. Wish I had gone to the Rhymesayers showcase. I bet that was great.

If anyone gets a line on a pair of Tate McRae tickets hit me up. I'm looking to buy some for my daughter before she heads off to Iowa State this weekend. cc @solace.bsky.social

Aerosmith had just gotten back together with the original lineup. If I recall that show did not have a huge crowd. Way before they had their comeback album Permanent Vacation.

I was at the RJD show. When the gates opened the PA wasn't set up yet so everything started late. Paradox got cut from the lineup. Obsession only got 3 tunes. They had a mime come out before they played (who was future MPLS and now LA artist Kii Arens). Guys in Obsession later started Flipp.

As expected. You just can't trade away your bullpen and expect to win close games.

The Twins have played well since the trades. However I don’t like their chances in 1 run games.

Does Royce Lewis realize now is the time to start hitting the ball?

Gus Gus in St Paul was fantastic tonight.

You have to figure the Twins brain trust are already planning a
"bobble head" night for the kid. I do like him so far. But it's a small sample size.

My buddy is throwing a little outdoor wrestling party next weekend in Eagan. This should be weird and wild.

Twins are hitting the Tigers pitchers hard this series. Chris Paddack will fit right in with this group.

Buxton is going to have to show Clemens how to hold onto the ball when you leap over the fence. That was painful to watch.

Watching Paddack give up a HR to us was satisfying

If you recall this guy from the Zeppelin doc. He was the guy Jimmy wanted for the band. He said no and recommended Robert Plant.

As usual Plant is all class with this tribute.

If you don't know what "gerrymandering" is go look it up. It will blow your mind that is how we do things in this country now.

I love that Byron Buxton didn't want to be traded. I hope he's back this week and keeps hitting the ball like he has been all year. I'm disappointed in the front office but still a fan of Byron's.

Julien was a moron not running hard out of the box. But let's not beat around the bush. The next 3 guys didn't even touch the ball so he would have been stuck at 3rd base.

"New Look" Twins with 2 games in a row striking out 14 times. Thanks Falvey.

Why send a guy up to bunt who obviously isn't comfortable bunting. That was ugly to watch.

Big confidence boost for our guy Julien. Or any player when Gasper is put in to pitch hit for you.

Wife has been on a cruise the past 2 weeks. It started in Portugal (cool) but the last few days of it is in the North Sea. Who wants to be on a ship up there? Yes, she texted me today saying how cold and awful it is.

Putting Falvey on this broadcast just insults our intelligence

Julien already costs Joe Ryan a run with his crappy fielding.

Apparently this is the β€œNew Look Twins” according to the announcers (who are paid by the Twins)

Yeah. Agreed. And both teams are playing good. I feel decent about the Wolves for next season. Maybe not championship bound but I'd expect another playoff run. Hopefully ANT takes another step up and can compete for an MVP

You just have to hope that we get a new owner soon. There will be plenty of money to try and get some players in here. But even at that next year will likely be bad.
