The Twins, according to MLB Network, may have set a major league record by hitting homers in each of the first 7 innings tonight.  They currently lead the Padres 16-0 and they have erased their run-deficit for the season with this outburst.

Are the Twins for real?  Can they hang on to the 2nd wild card in the AL?

Kluber was in complete control tonight.  No one could have beaten him.

At the University of Iowa's Kinnick Stadium last Saturday, all 75,000 fans turned to face the newly constructed Children's Hospital and waved.  This was planned and urged by many on social media and should have brought a smile to some faces that are having trouble smiling right now.   Although...

The Mets are a mess.  Who is running the team?  A pitcher, just off the DL asks to start on 3 days rest after throwing 78 pitches and he gets lit up again.  This, after Thor said he didn't want an MRI and was lost for the season due to an injury........

I said likely.  I am far more impressed with Bird's strike-zone judgement. Both guys are players I'd like to have for my team, by the way.  I just think Bird will be a better player in the long-run.

Judge is likely not as good as Greg Bird.

I like the idea of allowing all of the players on the 40-man roster being able to come up in September, but having a 20-man pitching staff is a bit much.  I would like to see teams have 30 players eligible for every game and have a maximum of 10 pitchers eligible (meaning 9 relievers).  The...

Players that are on the 25-man roster have options (I believe they can be sent down to the minors for 3 seasons).  If a player is out of these options, they are subject to waivers if the team tries to send them to the minors to bring someone else up.  If a player is on the 40-man roster, they...

Unless there is a player on the DL, the player needs to be on the major league roster before September 1.  If there is a player on the DL, anyone can be added to the playoff roster.  Don Baylor played for the Twins in the 1987 playoffs in spite of being acquired in September, because a player...

Verlander to the Astros brings a bit of hope for the people of Houston.

Not a bad get for the Tigers, either.  Grayson Long could be a pretty good starter.  Decent track-record in the minors.

Don't be too sad, Tiger fans.  I've seen a couple of the kids they are getting back and they are pretty good ones.  Daz Cameron is going to be a very good CF soon.  His father is Mike Cameron and his game is quite similar.  Jake Rogers is a decent defensive catcher with a pretty good bat...

Buxton seems to have found out how to play at the big league level.  He has excelled at every level he's played so it was only a matter of time.

The problem with Harvey is that he needs to show that he is healthy before any team will give up anything better than a B prospect for him.

Some of the Twins' kids are starting to play pretty well.  Rosario is having a really good year.  Kepler is doing OK and Buxton is finally looking comfortable at the plate.  Good solid outfield for the future. Berrios looks solid on the mound and they have a couple of kids that are nearly ready...

Giancarlo Stanton may yet be moved by the Marlins, even with his huge contract.  The Angels, Nationals and Giants have all been in negotiations with the Marlins on a deal for the slugger.   Could you imagine Stanton paired with Trout or Harper in a major league outfield?  How about being paired...

Statcast said it went 457.  I have a hunch it was a bit longer.

The fit is much better in Cleveland than with the Yankees.  The Yankees have too many outfielders right now and have a serviceable 1B.  They were willing to take some of the contract, but not all of it. Cleveland has some "iffy" outfielders right now and can use Bruce as their DH if everyone is...

The last 3 losses for the Dodgers came at the hands of the Braves.
