1. "Minor Details" will go on hiatus for a while. The moving van comes Monday, and it will take some time to get the home computer set up and to get our lives organized. I'm hoping it will be back in a week or so.

   1. Good luck and congrats

      1. Thank you.

   2. Godspeed.

      1. Thank you.

   3. Moving?

      1. It is hot.
      2. It is raining.
      3. all of the above

      Hope your move bucks the trend!

      1. The forecast, for whatever that's worth, is for an unusually cool day--high of 63--with a chance of strong thunderstorms in the afternoon. I'm hoping we'll be in Pierre before any thunderstorms hit.

   4. Welcome to the club, Padre.

      I suspect that you will continue to be a producer of public goods in your chosen communities. It's who you are.

      1. Thank you.

2. Kepler is 3-for-3 against Estes in his career but he has the day off? Is yesterday's HBP bothering him?

   1. Yes

      Max Kepler stayed in to walk it off last night after being hit on the elbow by a 99 mph pitch, but he's out of the #MNTwins lineup today.

      Rocco Baldelli said: "He's definitely stiff and sore moving his arm, and that's to be expected. He's probably going to need a day or two."

      1. Today's PPD will help, then

      2. FWIW no one's playing today. doubleheader tomorrow.

3. Any official caught violating gambling rules should be banned from the game for life. I think there’s a higher standard for arbiters than a position player or even a pitcher.

4. Tried calling the Padres’ team store in search of Arráez merch, especially a small shirsey for the Poissonnière. No luck. Fanatics apparently doesn’t have the responsiveness in its supply chain to get t-shirts printed for the most popular player on the roster.

5. I spent the day in the isle of skye at a forge making a (totally not traditional )sgian dubh. Highs in the 60s. Hot as all get out in the blast furnace. Good day to make a knife.

   1. yeah, well, i just vacuumed my car out. and it was hot too.
