    I know the stadium is not watertight, as the moveable roof panels always allow for some wind driven stuff, but this is ridiculous.

    Today Dr. K was a surgeon, perfect surgery, 11 K and 0 walks.

    He was a real number 1.

    GAttis and Carter, back to back, important to see that.

    Tucker continues to impress me.

    Now, why not use a defensive substitution in the 8th, leading by 1? We did it in the 9th in LF, and we did not do it at 3b in the 8th or 9th innings today.

    Villar made 2 errors. He has all the ability of the world to be great, but the mental issue with him does not allows him to improve. He continues no make the same mistakes, especially defensively. I like to see him play vs lefties, ok, but PLEASE, at the end, leading in the game, PLEASE, sub him defensively, PLEASE

    I will call it as it is, the good, the bad and the ugly.

    Today, i said he was a surgeon, a number 1 guy, now, when he struggles, I WILL ALSO COMMENT ON THAT, always with respect.

    You may like it, or not, but i call it as a i see it.

    Also: Gattis's May has been above what we expected from him. Nice to see the White Bear comfortable in the lineup.

    The roof leaking isn't anything new I was at a game in 2000 and it was leaking during a heavy rain, but it was mostly where the panels close. I have never seen it like this on the concourse before.

    Since April 21 Carter has posted a .783 OPS, and has produced 8 HR and 27 RBI (which would be a 36/122 pace)

    Every season he has a slow start, people panic and say we have to get rid of him, and eventually his numbers find their way up to a really good level.

    While I was never on the "Cut Carter" extremist side, I made the vow last season to stop panicking over him, and stuck to it.

    It's the only way to achieve inner peace and mental sanity in Carter-watching. I recommend it.

    Is a .780 OPS supposed to be good for a first baseman?

    The true bummer of the ignore list is seeing someone responded but not being able to see it. Cheers to happier posting.
