Byron Buxton ran a long way to catch a fly ball at the wall in left-center field, initially dropped the ball and then caught it with his legs and pulled it in. #MNTwins

@ZachHalverson @dhmontgomery There are often very few applicants for these positions, in which case they just give the post to whoever applied. It also looks like he filled a spot reserved for a private sector representative, which also probably limited the candidates.

@AaronGleeman @TwinsGeek long time listener, and first time caller. The winter tarp is coming off Target Field today.

BREAKING: The tarp is coming off Target Field today…

@JonKrawczynski The Sale Agreement says that the American Arbitration Association’s commercial rules apply. Those rules say a decision must be issued within 30 days of the hearing, unless the parties agree otherwise. Possible that both sides agreed to an extension beyond 30 days.

Victor Scott II blasts a game-tying homer off Zebby Matthews on a 2-2 slider with two outs in the fifth. #MNTwins

@DanHayesMLB @cwillaert By the way, your Kody Funderburk baseball card story was amazing. These types of stories are what sets The Athletic apart from your competitors.

[Brian Axell @BrianAxell]

@DanHayesMLB @cwillaert It’s a good comp, for sure.

[Brian Axell @BrianAxell]

@DanHayesMLB @cwillaert Yep. Except that the Twins are blacked out on https://t.co/Ex1bWwyXJj in the Twins’ local coverage area, courtesy of the Bally Sports North’s TV contract with the Twins. Bally Sports has broadcast exclusivity in the Twins’ TV market.

@BoKnowsWeather @Twins Same! So annoying. Looks like tee times started at 7:00am this morning. Based on the website, today appears to the last day.

[Brian Axell @BrianAxell]

@BoKnowsWeather Absolutely - I think residents are hanging out on the 34th floor. I’ll be sure to say hello if I see you around!

@ReplyGuyyyyy @annamv10 @mikulaja There are so many moving parts on this thing. My head has been spinning trying to keep track of it all. Not sure how @mikulaja does it…

[Brian Axell @BrianAxell]

@ReplyGuyyyyy @annamv10 @mikulaja For what it’s worth, Evolve’s motion from yesterday said that a “vast majority” of programs/end users have moved to the brokerage platform, but not all. Evolve still has accounts that haven’t moved, thus moving 100% of funds to the brokerage platform won’t help these customers.

@bmcclung Genuinely curious - does the DFL caucus have the power to keep her from voting on the floor? She’s still a duly elected member of the Legislature, and hasn’t been removed from office.

@eigoldberg @reporterev @robblackwellAB The EFTA test is definitely the bellwether. #ifykyk

@regulatorynerd Retailers’ fiscal years generally end in January.

@khaslett People want to get paid faster, but people don’t want to pay faster. Not huge demand in the payor community to give up a days’ worth of float for sake of paying someone faster.

[Brian Axell @BrianAxell]

@BorzMN Agreed. Only streaming options with Bally Sports are DirectTV Stream and Fubo. FWIW, had DirectTV Stream last year, and thought the user experience was clunky. Heard good things about Fubo though.
