Game 1:
Triston McKenzie
vs
Joe Ryan
This game went well last time and now Ryan only needs to finish seven innings.
Game 2:
Logan Allen
vs
Charlie Barnes
Game one has two right-handed starters and game two has two left-handed starters. Both of their ERAs start with a 6 and are closer to starting with a 7 than a 5. Naturally one team won't be able to score at all this game.

While I enjoy telling my phone to do things, I was slightly terrified when I turned on CC during a group chat with friends. That stuff is potent.

Jerry Doggett was a broadcaster for the Dodgers from 1956-1987.
The staggered rhythm really gets me in this piece. The cello is gorgeous (cellos always are), but putting it over the rhythmic voices and the just a little bit not steady beat makes this a piece I always instantly recognize and am excited to hear again.
Notes from the composer, Nathalie Joachim:
Dam mwen yo in Haitian Creole simply translates to “they are my ladies.” In Haiti, the cultural image of women is one of strength. They are pillars of their homes and communities, and are both fearless and loving, all while carrying the weight of their families and children on their backs. As a first generation Haitian-American, these women—my mother, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, cousins—were central to my upbringing and my understanding of what it means to be a woman. In Dantan, Haiti-Sud, where my family is from, it is rare to walk down the countryside roads without hearing the voices of women—in the fields, cooking for their loved ones, gathering water at the wells with their babies. This piece and the voices within it are representative of these ladies—my ladies. And the cello sings their song—one of strength, beauty, pain and simplicity in a familiar landscape.

Luis Gil vs John Gant
This is the makeup game for August 22.
Game already in progress.
A solid game for Yennier Cano. Cole Sands is nearly unhittable. DaShawn Keirsey is starting to hit. So is Jake Rucker.
So, "Winter is coming". What are you hoping to fit in before the end of the year?

Ed Sudol was a minor league first baseman from 1940-1953, never getting higher than AA. He then became an umpire and was National League ump from 1957-1977.
I think eight is the most Twins we have born on one day.
We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to Papa Beau.
