Claude: “this was the predictable cost of last July’s deadline sell-off of Duran, Jax, Varland, and Stewart. Painful footnote: Varland is currently running a 0.96 ERA as Toronto’s closer.” Ouch!

Using Claude Fable, I asked how many more wins the Twins would have with a league average ERA in the bullpen. 5 wins is the conservative answer according to Claude. 49-42, 1st in the division.

@MNBrianHall Great, but Baseball Stars is the NES best and Griffey on SNES is the greatest for old school baseball games.

Huge kudos to @StPaulRotary for not only bringing fireworks back to the Capitol City, but going big as well. What a show!

@MNBrianHall I also thought Finch was safe before tonight. Not so sure anymore.

[John @jfg84]

@MNBrianHall Tough offseason. So much of this was injury driven and now Randle’s value is so low. But, the team was built to beat Denver and they aren’t the team to beat anymore. Nobody outside of Ant is off the table.

@NBA This is what fans want to see, quit making floppers like SGA, Jokic and Luka the face of the game.

[John @jfg84]

@mngopher21 lol, was going to say the same thing and you got it!

[John @jfg84]

@MNBrianHall Same on cable as well

[John @jfg84]

@MNBrianHall And post game to see what the overall vibe is.

[John @jfg84]

@MNBrianHall The only time I check in on Twitter is when I’m watching a game and want to see what people are saying about a big play/moment.

[John @jfg84]

Funny that Kerr now thinks the suspension was deserved, because he was arguing even the ejection on Tuesday night.

[John @jfg84]

@mngopher21 It was a lose/lose decision. I was debating doing the half but my decision was that I don’t put my running shoes on that early in the morning :)

[John @jfg84]

@mngopher21 The logistics of option 1 sounds like a nightmare for volunteers. If they cancelled the day before and the weather changed for the better that would have been worse. There’s a runners subreddit- a lot of people on there ran it anyway but still say the right call was made.

[John @jfg84]

@MNBrianHall Pretty rare to see your team down this early, but you’ve clawed your way back before!

[John @jfg84]

@mngopher21 Burn.

[John @jfg84]

@MNBrianHall If positions are considered, he’s an all-star since he’s the 2nd best SG in the West outside of Booker. If not, he’s going to need to do what he’s doing now consistently to be in the conversation next year and with Towns that’s difficult. A lot of shots available right now.

[John @jfg84]

Just for fun, the next 5 on the list are kind of interesting- Kingman (750), Thome (748), Kiner (744), R. Howard (737), Killebrew (735). Khris Davis just misses the top 10. Hank Aaron and Pujols are hover around top 30.

[John @jfg84]

Top 5 HR leaders of all time (retired) if you give everyone the same amount of plate appearances as Bonds- McGwire (959), Ruth (847), Sosa (775), J.Gonzalez (765), Bonds (762). Now, give Judge (870) and Stanton (792) the same amount over a full career....
