Just looked at Buck's contract and he is locked in through 2026 with a full no trade clause, and them 27-28 there are five teams he can be traded too. The Twins owe him 75 million through 2028. I hope he starts hitting...

Bottom of the lineup today....Kepler, Vasquez, Gallo, Taylor.....there just isn't any hope with those guys.... Last 70 games with Kepler and Gallo and possibly Taylor as your outfield. Maybe Taylor is back, depends on Buxton ever playing in the grass again.

Oof Twins.....time for a week off... Hell....a month off...

I've seen a lot of the new pitch challenge rule in the minors this past week. Got to say I like it. Each team gets three pitch challenges, and you retain each successful challenge. Keeps the game moving.

There was at least 160 at Aberdeen camp. Interesting note. Aberdeen's goalie coach is Matt Dumba's brother.

Aberdeen Wings Main Camp happening in West Fargo this weekend. Quite a few North Dakota kids out there trying out. Olsonawski looked sharp in a few of the moments I watched. Dane Jackson's kid with a good chance to make their team as well.

Sheyenne and West Fargo High School both losing a few players. Believe they are headed to Northstar. Bydal from Red River signed with Alaska in the NAHL, he would of been my bet for senior athlete of the year. Unless he's doing the before the season/after the season thing.

Allegiant flight from Fargo to Mesa....check. Relatives living 5 minutes from Mesa airport....check. Relatives with pool/hot tub and putting green in back yard....check..... It's just a win win for everyone.

Kepler has woken up for the moment. Sweep the teams you are supposed to sweep. Back to back series wins after today. Great to see Maeda back and pitching deep into games.

The pitching is there. Ober is arguably their best starter at the moment. Sonny, Pablo, Ryan all pretty good, Kenta getting his groove back with lower velocity, but he's an intelligent guy. If the offense could figure out how to get to 4 every game....

You got me there. Our Redeemers too....South Prairie....Nedrose.... *And I would have been a Minot North Sentinel.

I worked at MAYSA when he and Mason Morelli were coming up as squirts and you could tell those two were special. Morelli was pretty darn good, but Schoenborn was a step ahead of him back then. If you would have bet me which one would play in the NHL I would have said Alex. Looks like it will be Mason though.

Lol. Crazy as Magicians. And whatever they call the Minot North team. I've gotta figure out where the line is because I'm not sure what high school I would have attended had there been two back then.

I didn't know whether to up vote this or down vote this....RIP Walsh.....#legendary.

Call me a sour grapes western ND kid (who lives in the Valley now....lol....) but since Fylling, Massen, and Vig, UND has missed on some pretty good players from Western ND. Yes, I count John Lizotte in there because he was born in Minot before moving to Grand Forks.

Right. Case in point. Zach Nehring from Minot ends up drafted 82 overall this year. North Dakota kid, goes to Shattuck, huge success this season....and he's going to Western Michigan.

But they had a "closed doors meeting" afterwards. And we know how well those work!

Correa....please.....eff.....

Acuna tees off on Pagan. All these Braves fans around me are surprised I called that one.

Putting the ball in play. Give yourself a chance at least.

Hawks helmet at college football hall of fame in Atlanta.

In Atlanta for a few days and going to catch the Twins and Braves with my brother-in-law on Monday and Tuesday (He's a huge Braves fan). Spent the evening in the Truist Park "The Battery" neighborhood. What a tremendous job by the Braves creating a superb entertainment district for their fans. Fantastic, clean, well built area. The Braves were on the road today and they had the game on an outdoor big screen TV on a plaza with all the dining facilities with their patios open. I remember complaints from people about how far away from down town Atlanta they were building their new park, but hats off to them. Can't wait to see the place on game day. Hope the Twins can scratch one out.

Look at that you got them a win! I didn't mean for you to get Rocco ejected on a pitch that was strike three to a guy that regularly strikes out.

Never been a big time Kepler guy. I know all the statistics show he's an above average outfielder and he had that lightning in a bottle stretch, but it's time to move on. I could see it being his last year as he had talked about quitting altogether this off-season. Then again with what the Twins did with Pagan, Max could get a lucrative extension.

On a positive note, Buxton/Kepler made solid contact on a baseball. On a negative note Twins Twitter is now responding to an angry fanbase. I think they need a road trip.
