The `rents are coming into town and the forecast looks a little sticky. As such, I'm turning on the A/C for the weekend which I normally don't often do. That made me wonder:

Jim Mutrie managed teams in New York for nine years. He has been called the founding father of baseball in New York City. He is the one who gave the Giants their nickname. The story is that whenever he was credited for the team's success, he would say, "It was my boys--my giants!--who did it."
Catcher Bill Bergen spent eleven seasons in the majors. He appeared in 947 games and had 3,028 at-bats. His lifetime batting stats are .170/.194/.201. Everything you read about him says he was a tremendous defensive catcher, and one assumes he must have been.
Dave Rosenfield was the general manager of the Tidewater/Norfolk Tides for over forty-five years.
Tom Cheek was the voice of the Toronto Blue Jays from 1977-2004.
Antonio Pulido was a closer in the Mexican League for many years, getting 197 saves. He also had 70 saves in the Mexican Pacific League.
We would like to wish a happy birthday to rpz.
Austin Gomber
vs
Pablo López
Day game alert!
I don't think I've heard of Austin Gomber before. This being his fourth season in Colorado along with his 98 ERA+ mostly explains that. His best season by ERA so far but not by FIP. Nothing that remarkable about him but he is a lefty and an unheralded draft pick from the fourth round in 2014. He could be this generation's Jeremy.

No new videos from the new album yet, but I'm still playing them before DK can.
(3 votes, average: 8.00 out of 10)Loading... Twins back on their upswing in a up and down season. Hosting the 20 games under .500 Colorado Rockies certainly helps. Cal Quintrill pitching for the Rox and after a pretty good 2022 season for the Guardians, looks like he's at the journeyman stage of his career. Hopefully Twins batters can feast.
Louie Varland back up for the Twins to give the starters a break in A 13-game streak. Varland didn't really do much in St. Paul to convince anyone he's figured it out, but who knows, maybe the deli spread in a MLB clubhouse will be all the motivation he needs.
Looks like the weather should clear by this evening so should be a nice game for baseball.
6:40 first pitch.
