Actually, my kids woke up far too early for me to consider this an easy morning. Someone put on a pot of coffee, eh? Hello? Fine, I guess I've gotta do it myself.

Game 107: ‘Stros @ Twins
What a beautiful day. The afternoon was spent changing out mulch around my hops and maintaining the yard. Now it's time for sitting on the deck with a couple of Alaskan Ambers and some grilled chops...
...and hopefully another Twins win.

Jarred Cosart
v
Samuel Deduno
Finally the Twins can beat up on a clearly worse team.
Cosart is now the Astros best starter with Norris gone, racking up 1.3 rWAR in just 21 innings. He's only struck out seven in those 21 innings, which would rank last even on the Twins.
