Let me address the 🐘 in the room. I won’t be playing baseball anymore. I’ll spend my time brewing beer, smoking meat woodworking and hanging with my family. Or, the same things I have been doing just without the baseball part.
When I came up everyone told me ‘It’s easier to get here than it is to stay here’. You know what makes it hard to stay in the big leagues? dudes are good. really good. it’s a tough league. it’s a hell of a lot harder when hitters know what’s coming. these guys cheated the game.
If the Twins sign Buxton (which they should, pay him whatever keeps him here) it will cost you, a fan, $0. Would you rather watch Byron play 60,70,80 or more games for the Twins or 0 games for the Twins?
I will be the analyst on the
@Twins
pre and post game show on
@fsnorth
this weekend for the series against the Tigers and for 30 or so more games throughout the summer. Do tune in Friday at 6:30 as we preview the team with the best record in baseball!
This may get lost in your feed cuz Lebron freakin James tweeted you but from one Gopher to another, congrats on a great playing career

Twins' best Win Probability Added by a reliever since 2010:
+2.79 — Glen Perkins, 2013
+2.65 — Taylor Rogers, 2018
+2.41 — Jared Burton, 2012
+1.85 — Glen Perkins, 2012
(Rogers is on pace for +3.10 WPA this year. Forget the AL Central. Rogers vs.

is the real race.)
“how did you hit against him?” i asked. “well, you can see the spin on his slider so I didn’t swing at it”, he said. i replied “but he throws 104, how can you react?”. “well it’s not that fast if you’re looking for it”.

@davidortiz
hit a comebacker that hit me in the b-hole. When Joe came out to ask me if I was ok I told him where it hit me. All I remember was his gobbler jiggling when he laughed.

Thank You everyone for the hell yeahs. Deleting the vaccine tweet now because I don’t want to deal with the shit-brains. And for the record my name and birth date are the FIRST THING that pops up when you google me 😜 Now go get vaccinated!!
Yesterday was a great day. My beer Cut Down IPA, in collaboration with
@surlybrewing
, will be available in Minneapolis in a month. Please drink it so they let me make more!
Before the 2014 ASG - Jeter’s last - I asked him for an autograph. It wasn’t for me, though. In order for my girls to meet their hero Idina Menzel, who sang the National Anthem, she wanted an auto from Jeter. Got a good laugh from him when I asked.

Excited to join

in the booth this weekend for the

series vs the Texas Rangers on
@BallySportsNOR
The series starts tonite with Twins Live at 6:30pm!
Biggest difference I see with Gibby tonite is arm angle on change up. It’s not differential in speed that makes it. FB~93 CH~87. Pitchers have a tendency to drop arm on a change. It looks like a fastball out of his hand bc he’s not dropping his arm.
