Well, I stayed through the ninth, but they shut down the Internet here on the east coast after 11, so I guess I'd better call it a night. Bring the win home for me...

Is it the rain? The late hour? Being in last place? or    Pokemon Go causing the empty seats at Target field.

Second game with the Indians in this home stand, hope it goes better than the first! Here are some thoughts about the game.       1.Hall of Fame Day Two notables will be inducted into the Twins Hall

Throw the tarp on and leave it til April.

Agree

 

Although I was just talking about this. I think it would be suspended and replayed from this point--except if Cleveland scores and it's stopped, they would win!

I believe a game can't end at a half inning if the home team is down.

that's what we were wondering. I said that if it's an official game of 5.5 innings, and the score is not tied, it's over. Period. Regardless of anything else. But not exactly sure how it works in extras.

I should have bid on being with the grounds crew for a night rolling out the tarp. That looks fun. :)

Thoughts, Aggies?

It's about the least fun thing you could ever possibly do on a baseball field, aside from what the twins have done for 90 games this year. We averaged about 70 tarp pulls a year, and that was on a 72 game home schedule. It's awful. Taking the thing off is even less fun.

extra innings or not, if the visitors are winning, the home team has to get another half inning or it's a suspended game, not an official game.

Fun fact, last 22 games each has played, Mauer 2 RBI, Buxton 8 RBI.

Un-fun fact:Buxton's numbers with RISP this year: .075/.114/.100.

Makes the past 22 games for Mauer seem even worse.

If you say so. I'd have to know how many PAs he's had with RISP and what he actually did, myself. 

 

Wanna read something fun...another fun fact.  The career passive Mauer has, for his career, hit .330/.456/.470 with RISP.  Now, excluding the 135 IBB (which he has no control over, though I suppose he still could swing), he's walked less than 13% of the time with RISP.

I agree, he was once an outstanding hitter. Those were impressive stats.

His slash line with RISP last year was extremely close to his career numbers with RISP (including the walk rate) 18 non-intentional walks with RISP in 161 PA.

Ok I give in. He has had way more than 2 RBI's in the last 22 games and he is on pace for way more than 50 RBI's for the season. You win. He is a clutch. All he does is make a difference and never settles for a walk when he has a chance to make a meaningful impact. He is a top of the order hitter.
