According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the previous modern major-league record for consecutive appearances to start a season without an unintentional walk had belonged to Detroit Tigers left-hander Jamie Walker in 2006. Walker (oh, the irony) pitched in 34 games that season before he issued the first free pass of his own free will.
Now the record belongs to Rogers. And the 33-year-old is making his strongest case yet that he belongs in the National League bullpen for the All-Star Game.
I thought for a second about working both ends of the doubleheader today, but my knees said that's just crazy talk, we're not doing that.
Twins talk
And ample discussion with Taylor.
Happy Dad's Day to all you fathers and father-like Citizens!
Apparently it is Father's Day because I just watched about 500x my average yearly golf watching.
Taking the oldest 2 to TMBG tonight. Ran into some of my in-laws already. That's a good sign.
I was wondering if anyone up there was going to take in The Thinking Man's Drinking Band while they were playing there. Hope you enjoy them.
Had a nice meal at Hi Pointe, got a nap, watched Dune 2, and got a copy of Anthony Bourdain's "World Travel" for Father's Day.
