We've already pivoted once in this process, and I think we demonstrated a willingness to respond to the way the team's performing," Levine said. "The team's obviously performing extremely well right now...
That's fine and all, but I hope the front office isn't deluded by a 9-4 start to August, particularly when only one opponent in four had a record above .500. This week's series against Cleveland might force the issue.
Niko Goodrum's homer leads the Red Wings. A not-good rehab appearance by Glen Perkins. A big day for Tanner English. Joe Cronin caps a big Kernel comeback. Mark Contreras and Melvi Acosta lead the E-Twins.

We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to sean's son.
We'll kick it off with a song that I've been enjoying this year from Australian band Middle Kids. I like this version, because there's a little bit longer of an ending.
The rest of the EP is solid, too - especially "The River", which I was initially going to post here, but this is the single, so there are far more videos available for it.

The Twins sure know how to kill a winning streak and ruin a party. It sure seems like this would be a good time for a complete game from their starting pitcher. Too bad they don't do that anymore. Well, at least most of them.
ByungHo Park and Aaron Slegers lead the Red Wings. Dereck Rodriguez has an excellent start. Brent Rooker goes deep again. A big Class A debut for Royce Lewis. The E-Twins walked a lot of guys, but not the one they should have. The GCL Twins lose on the goofy extra-inning rule. One was not a lonely number for the DSL Twins.

Now that Jackie Robinson has been elected, I wanted to check in with you guys on your interest in considering Negro League players. If people were interested they could volunteer to do a write-up on a player (that they would want to vote for) and they could be added to the ballot. Either a special Negro League ballot or we could just add them sporadically as we go along.

It's been pretty white up in here until now. Not only did Jackie Robinson do good, he is our only unanimous inductee for this ballot.
Dimaggio skates in with 94% of the vote. Hey, he wasn't Ted Williams.
Steak, brown rice, black beans, guacamole, cheese, hot salsa, and 94% of the vote.
With 83% of the vote, I would say that's game, set, match.
The electorate was clearly on the side of clearly very talented. At least 83% of us were.
Is that Joseph Gordon-Levitt with 83% of the vote? Anyway, Gabby gets in on his fourth ballot.
Below you'll find plaques for those votes in last time. Thanks hungry joe!
Staying On The Ballot
Boudreau and Kiner have nice debuts which will likely get them elected. Joe Gordon makes the biggest leap, crossing that coveted 50% line. Nearly everyone else drops.

Ralph Kiner (67%)
Ted Lyons (67%) +2
Joe Gordon (56%) +11
Wes Ferrell (44%) -6

Ernie Lombardi (39%) -1

Falling off the Ballot
Bill Terry came close at times and made his final ballot push but just didn't impress enough of us to get in. Meanwhile Bob Johnson who I have a soft spot for sputtered out, as did Stan Hack.
The legendary Phil Rizzuto did not impress and is promptly booted before anyone even had a chance to do a write-up on him.
Bill Terry (61%) +11
Bob Johnson (33%) -7
Stan Hack (22%) -13
Dutch Leonard (17%)
Charlie Keller (11%)
Bobo Newsom (11%)
