Cedric Tallis was the general manager of the Kansas City Royals and the New York Yankees.
Submarine pitcher Hisashi Yamada won 284 games in Japan.
Ken Burns made an Emmy-award winning documentary about the history of baseball. He also made a documentary on Jackie Robinson.
Every year I am surprised to learn that there was a Ryan Braun who pitched for Kansas City in 2006 and 2007.

Loading... I'm starting to feel like May and June were just a mirage and even if this Twins team makes the playoffs it will just be setting up another one and done disappointment. But I'm gloomy and melancholy like that sometimes. I can't say I'm enthused to stay up late and watch a game that starts so close to bedtime, so I'll probably be skipping this one. I probably won't be alone.
With a 7-3 record and a 2.89 ERA and 73 strikeouts, young Joe Ryan takes the mound for the Twins tonight. He's opposed by southpaw Blake Snell (2-5, 4.75 ERA, 71 K). So there you go.
Play ball!
David Banuelos has a big day. Calm hits the Wind Surge bats. Misael Urbina's good games are not enough for the Mighty Mussels.
Unfortunately, I did catch a bit of yesterday's game this time. Not much of it, thankfully.

We would also like to wish a happy birthday to MagUidhir’s brother.

vs
Corbin Burnes
Burnes won the Cy Young last year. He's been almost as good this year. This will be a tough game, just like last year. Fortunately Colomé isn't on this year's team but neither is Rogers or Berríos (though maybe that's fortunately this year).
Today's game is available on YouTube.
Devin Smeltzer wants to come back to the Twins. Christian Encarnacion-Strand keeps hitting. So does Yunior Severino.
