In the winter, the Dodgers decided that Logan Forsythe was an effective substitute for Brian Dozier at 2B. 

 

Dozier coming into today: .267 BA, 34 HR, 93 RBI (mostly as lead-off batter), .847 OPS

Forsythe: .227 BA, 6 HR, 36 RBI, .685 OPS.

 

I know which one I'd prefer in my lineup.

Makes me wonder just how good the Dodgers could have been with Dozie.

Marney doing nine different positions today. Hah! Watch out for your jobs, guys!

 

Kudos to the producers for this little trolling of what the Tigers did yesterday.  I will definitely be paying attention when she steps into the control room.  Let's see how the talent does when they get to step into OUR world.

man, just got done following the Vikings game. looks like another season lost for a "future" star of the offense. it's hard to comprehend how these things continue to happen to that franchise.

Yep, it's probably gonna be yet another lost season for them. 

 

I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but I'm expecting the Twins to do some similar things to the Yankees. I've love to think "maybe this is the year!" but as a Minnesota sports fan I have to expect the worst.

Sano is going to be eaten alive in the postseason. When he's striking out against Tiger's pitching that does not bode well.

Did Richard really just say that the Twins winning a 1-game play-in game is just as big as the '87 ALCS?

Maybe getting past the Yankees in 17 is similar to getting past the Tigers in 87?

 

Not sure.

Wow, Twins broadcasting does some truly stupid things.  Spending the whole game talking about Gladden being a ballboy before and now the whole thing is about Marney doing 9 different jobs today.

How many pitches have we missed because of it?

I think that's what he was trying to say, but in reality one sent a team to the World Series and this is pretty much game 163 with a fancier logo.

We all know this, but Buxton is seriously fast. I think he could have stolen the pitcher's mound on that one.
