Baseball is unpredictable sometimes.  Who would have thought the bullpen had issues that needed to be addressed this season?  Some things you cannot plan or anticipate or address..

Santana's strike zone discipline is slowly but surely improving. He used to run up into the stands to swing at balls out of the zone, but now he stays on the field at least.

 

So that's progress.

Reminds me of something Souhan once wrote about Matthew LeCroy that probably applies to Coomer. Souhan said LeCroy was a baseball player trapped in the body of a softball player.

I really like Coomer, if for no other reason than that he really came into his own as a Twins icon after his playing days were over.

 

But when I see what he looked like back then, it still makes me think that he must have at least occasionally had a hell of a time convincing a non-fan here or there that he was a major league baseball player.

crap....

 

At first I assumed this was in reference to the Jays homer, but then I realized it was a much broader reflection on the Twins' season...

Mauer has been significantly less awful than he was last year, but Bremer's reference to his getting the benefit of the doubt with respect to the strike zone made me wonder not only how much longer that may be the case, but how much it's still really true even now.

Slightly off topic:  The Mavericks will be at the Rialto in downtown Tucson next Saturday.  So will Mrs Chief and her date.

 

Even better:  There's still a chance she takes me!!

Takes you where while she's at the Rialto? The kennel?

Plouffe has had a good showcase week. Any takers?

Wow, Plouffe went oppo. Didn't see that one coming.

 

For sure. It looked like a foul into the stands off the bat. Or off the end of the bat, rather. He's been lucky to just make contact vs. RHP lately, let alone drive the ball. Maybe the rust is finally wearing off.
