I just realized I've officially been Chicagoish for 15 years now. Good god.

No one wants to schedule an RIP track during their guest DJ week.
While grilling dinner last night I noticed a cicada molting on the underside of my deck's railing. That's something I never thought I'd see in real life. Nature is nuts and berries.
Yikes, what a week. On Tuesday, during my golf league, I received a text that one of my salaried chef's had Covid. We had gone 4 months without a case. Woke up the next morning and another salaried chef texted me that he tested positive despite no symptoms. I then lost 3 more solid cooks to Covid. Wednesday was supposed to be my one day off, but I worked open to close. I came in Thursday morning and my dining room salaried manager was not looking too good. I made him take a rapid test and he tested positive. We had basically a skeleton crew of staff who did not have Covid, or were not directly exposed. Somehow, this little scrapped together line up made it through 4 super busy days performing nearly as well as our full crew does. Today, is my last marathon day before I get some time off and my key staff start slowly trickling back in. I have never been so sore and tired as I was when I woke up this morning. Did the Twins even play this week? I did not have a moment to watch or look at a box score.
Kirilloff is out for the season:
Kirilloff brought this up to me as a possibility back in May. He said it would create more spacing in the wrist joint by manually breaking the ulna, shortening it and inserting a plate and screws.
As disappointing as this need is for Twins fans and the club, this must be extremely frustrating for Kirilloff. Given that Kirilloff & Lewis are friends, hopefully they can buoy each other and stay motivated throughout their rehabs.
The NIH article I skimmed seemed to indicate favorable long-term results, but I doubt many of the people in the test group were MLB players. I wouldn’t do much searching of the term if you’re bothered by medical imagery.
I hope that fixes it for him. Two lost seasons for Kirilloff.
I was reminiscing about Kepler hitting homers off Trevor Bauer in 5 straight at-bats and discovered Oswaldo Arcia hit four homers off of Bauer in the span of seven weeks
Arraez is back baby
Arra-YES!
Man I ❤️ Luis
Throw it like Beckham!
YDNRONG!
that was a pretty exciting half an inning.
Where the frick is Sanchez supposed to stand
what the hell? That is brutal
Um what? What is Sánchez supposed to do? Not catch the throw?
What a horrible call. I've never seen Baldelli that mad. Rightfully so!
I've seen that exact scenario many times and the runner is always called out.
Rob Manfred is a monster.
I'm good with the rule; I'm not good with the call.
(I am also good with the rule, but I will blame any and all bullshit applications on Manfred)
The catcher is not permitted to block the runner's path to the plate unless he is in possession of the ball, though blocking the path of the runner in a legitimate attempt to receive a throw is not considered a violation. The runner can be ruled safe if the umpire determines the catcher violated this rule. But per a September 2014 memorandum to the rule, the runner may still be called out if he was clearly beaten by the throw
I would like to hear how that was not a legitimate attempt to receive a throw
I'd also argue the plate was wide open until he caught it. Just a failure all around.
On the replay you can see the ump was out of position to make the call and he still got it right in a slit second. New York looked at it for three minutes and still blew the call.
Miranda should just hit a home run and flex over the umps.
i think i just noticed provus said “RBI” as a plural instead of “RBIs”.
better would be to say RsBI.
Rocco should have pulled out a cell phone and just pretended to berate New York during his ejection. That would have been amazing. A really missed opportunity.
