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.

If the Twins lose this one’s on me since we traded Hicks for JR Murphy because he took me deep. Sincere apologies.

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?

“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”.

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.
