Article: Game Thread: Twins v Royals, 5/19 @ 7:10pm CT

[Mill1634]

Why the hell would you send him? We're going to look back at that inning and think what if. 

[Aggies7]

That fly ball to end the inning would have been a sac fly. Oh well, no use crying over spilled beer. Get 'em next inning.

Unfortunate considering the twins usually put together one or two innings a game where they actually threaten to score.

[Darius]

Certainly cost them a chance at a big inning, but that's assuming the team isn't completely inept at driving in runners from third

I'll give you that....they are terrible with RISP and less than two out.

Their situational hitting STINKS.

[Aggies7]

Can't find our BA with RISP...anyone know what it is? I see we're middle of the pack in runners left in scoring position

Dozier batting .107 with RISP so far

.240

That seems awfully high

[Aggies7]

Figures.

[Darius]

Well now Glenn's decision looks even worse after that....

[BoofBonser]

 

That seems awfully high

With runners on it's .226, runners on two outs it's .191

[Aggies7]

Dick said something earlier about enjoying the fact that we are in first place. Better savor every second of it, Richard.

[Mill1634]

Hector starting to pitch like all the numbers say.

Honestly, he's my second least favorite pitcher to watch... always falls behind and is in 3-2 counts, doesn't have great stuff, gets lucky

[Aggies7]

If the pitching is going to regress aome as we all expect it to, the offense has to start showing life more frequently.

Who would your least favorite be? I have to agree with you there, at least Twins wise.   I used to dislike Hughes, but I kinda like watching junkballer Phil.

Gibby of course
And yes, Phil is much more fun to watch this year

That does seem rather high.

 

There must be a bunch of singles that advance the runner to third, but not home, inflating that number. Seems like every game they leave 1-2 guys in scoring position with nobody out.

Didn't know we were talking about minor leaguers

Torii compares Dick to Scott Boras. Great line.

[Darius]

That might be a home run last weekend when it was 85 degrees and humid.

[Aggies7]

The team is just utterly "meh" at home. Don't know why. Might be better off going to do the dishes for a bit.

[Darius]

That might be the luckiest catch I've ever seen a major league ball player make. He even reacted like he was shocked he caught it.

[BoofBonser]

SSS but Twins are batting .045 in 3-1 counts
 

[Willihammer]

Cheslor freaking Cuthbert

[BoofBonser]

Hey Dozier get your ass out of the way... you don't need to try padding your putout stats 
Worry about batting over .230

[Willihammer]

Grossman!!!

[Riverbrian]

GROSSMAN

[spinowner]

Well, that cuts the lead in a third.

[Aggies7]

Man I went to go do the dishes that I've been looking at all week and I miss the homer
