Spent more than a few days there. Great memories! Favorite was Harmon hitting 500 and 501 off Cuellar when I was there with my dad.

My favorite was in ‘72 I believe. The A’s were at the Met for a double header. I was 10 at the time. Some obnoxious A’s fan was sitting a row in front of us. Wanted to bet the A’s would sweep. My dad leaned over and told me, son bet him 5 bucks a game that the Twins will win so I did and I was 10 bucks richer as the Twins swept them 👍

It’s a beautiful stadium if you ever get a chance to go. Between that and Denver becoming a huge tourist destination, the owners unfortunately have little incentive to spend on that team.

Correct. For the locals, going to Coors is a social event, the game is an afterthought. The Rockies are a distant fourth in the public consciousness, far behind the Broncos, Nuggets and Avalanche.

It has to be next to impossible to convince any quality Free Agent pitcher to sign on with the Rockies.

I’m fascinated in how bad the Rockies are. They lost 21-0 tonight and have given up 55 runs in the past 4 games. Now 6-33.

Some bad luck involved. A probable inning ending double play got turned into a single.

Only 1/2 game out of a wildcard now. Could be a fun summer of twins baseball after all.

Weather just had to warm up for some of the guys. Looking forward to when the Cubs are in town in July as I’ll be going to a couple of those games. Win win for me as I’m a Cubs fan too since the WGN days in the 70’s with Harry Cary

Meanwhile in Twins Territory...Was at the game on Friday. Took a picture at first pitch. People filtered in over the first couple innings, but my guess was maybe 5k butts in seats at first pitch. On the plus side, didn't have to wait in line for concessions.

Minnesota Twins: C​

What a confusing team. There's talent here, lots of it, but it took their current eight-game winning streak just to get to one game over .500. Byron Buxton is on one of those tears where he looks like the best player in baseball, and the rotation has been so good, especially of late. Carlos Correa has been flat out terrible at the plate though, and Royce Lewis has played only a handful of games since returning from a spring hamstring injury. Getting those two going will be imperative the rest of the way. Similar to the Red Sox, it feels like the Twins should be better than they are. Perhaps the recent eight-game winning streak is a sign they're on the right track. For now, a 21-20 record a quarter of the way into season is C worth to me.

CBS Sports grade through a quarter of the season. Couldn't agree more with that first line.

I was there Friday and Saturday too. I think announced was like 17K on Friday and 23 K on Saturday. It does seem like a lot of people just stay in the bars/concourse and are barely in their seats though.
