We're in that period of summer where things are light on sport programming. No Twins game today either.

All this time off means that both the Guards and Sox have caught up to the Twins in games played. White Sox have now also played 96 games and Guardians will be at 95 after today's game with Red Sox. Neither team used those games in hand to make an appreciable dent in the Twins division lead however.
Truly a division of mediocrity.
I'm going to Coors Field tomorrow. Go Rockies!
A gorgeous ballpark and enthusiastic fans wasted on an idiotic owner who runs his team like a hermit kingdom.
The purple seats are exactly one mile in elevation.
oh, that's cool
FanGraphs covered the 40-player roster crunch for AL teams today. The Twins have eight players on the 60-day IL and ten prospects to make decisions on by the end of the year. I would not be surprised to see some of those prospects included in trades rather than risk losing them in the offseason.
Must-Add Prospects: Matt Canterino, Spencer Steer, Edouard Julien, Simeon Woods Richardson, Louie Varland
Current 40-man Fringe: Mark Contreras, Devin Smeltzer, Danny Coulombe, Jhon Romero, Caleb Hamilton, Drew Strotman, Jharel Cotton, Emilio Pagán
Prospects on the Fringe: Alex Isola, Sawyer Gipson-Long, Brent Headrick, Will Holland, Sean Mooney
According to B-Ref, the Red Sox have been outscored by 54 runs over the last 5 games -- the worst run differential over a 5 game span in either league since 1901. Dang.
RIP David Warner. Headlines mention "The Omen" and "Titanic" actor, completely ignoring his more important roles in "Time Bandits" and "TRON"
And now also RIP Paul Sorvino
He had a long and varied career. I first became aware of him as the star of a short-lived series in the seventies called "We'll Get By".
That's the third Good Fellas actor in the last couple months. Are we sure that these are natural deaths?

Willians Astudillo has tossed four consecutive scoreless outings (4 IP) on the mound, dating back to his time with the Twins in 2021.#Marlinspic.twitter.com/KNjarSIsrr

HJ, I was going to add a video for tomorrow but it looks like you had the same idea as I did.
