Minor Details: Games of July 30
Byron Buxton is ready and Aaron Slegers and ByungHo Park may be ready ,too. Jonathan Rodriguez leads Chattanooga to a mere ten-inning win. The Miracle split a doubleheader despite getting only four hits, all in game one. A three-run homer drops the Kernels. Ryler Widell is pitching well.
Happy Birthday–July 31

Trade Deadline Thread. Oh and Some Baseball Game
Bartolo Colon vs. Somebody you never heard of, 3:10 p.m.
Rajai Davis? Really? And what is it about July 29th and the Oakland A's?
I wouldn't be surprised to see hugs in both dugouts today in the final full day before the trade deadline if trades hadn't happened before the game. Sonny Gray was originally supposed to be starting today but his start was pushed back till tomorrow after the deadline, which he's not expected to make, at least not in an A's uniform.
And for those who have been pleading for a complete fire sale by the Twins, you might want to take a look at the opposing dugout at a team that seems to be in perpetual selloff mode and see how much good it has done them.
30 July 2017: Know When to Fold ‘Em
The Twins have traded Jaime García to the Yankmes. Is he the best pitcher to ever make just one start for the Twins?
Minor Details: Games of July 29
Byron Buxton is hitting, but was removed from the game early. Hector Santiago does better but doesn't appear ready to rejoin the rotation. The Red Wings play twelve innings--the Lookouts were just getting warmed up at that point. Position players throw three shutout innings for Chattanooga, as a wild game overwhelms an excellent start for Felix Jorge. Only one hit for the Miracle. Clark Beeker throws a rare nine-inning complete game--one suspects he has no more to learn in Cedar Rapids. The E-Twins sweep. The GCL Twins win late. The DSL Twins lose late.

Game 102: twins @ athletics
Let's get back to .500, then.
Sonny Gray was supposed to start today, but he's been scratched, so we get... 36-year old Chris Smith, who hasn't won a game since 2008.
