Article: CHC 10, MIN 6: Hey, Remember Joe Mauer?

[kengrosz]

Übertreibte es das FO? Ich kann die Entscheidungen teilweise nicht mehr nachvollziehen....

Fun fact: All 5 Central Division teams lost Friday which means the division as a whole is now 67 games under .500.

Alan Busenitz is being sent down to make room for Adalberto Mejia ...

 

Matt Belisle is bulletproof.

I'm sure Busenitz told Berardino, "Dude, bro Matty B is still here! Love that guy, dude!"

Wonder if he has no issue being sent down again? Hildy will give Matty B another hug for you, bro.

"Matt Belisle is the man. When I saw that, I was pumped. I even texted Hildy. I was like, 'Dude, give Matty B a big old hug for me.' I was happy to see that. I love Matty B"

 

Sorry, but Booze sounds like a dimwit here

Thanks for the game recaps. I really enjoy them as they're my go-to source for what happened in the games. One thought - perhaps in the WPA section you could show the players that had the biggest impact, positive or negative on each game. I think that would be more interesting than just showing the top 3 most positive, especially when the Twins lose. But even in wins it would be interesting to see who had a negative impact on the game. And perhaps expand the list even larger than just 3 players. Thanks!

I was becoming seriously worried about Mauer's bleak performance since he returned from the DL, but this was very nice to see! Yeah yeah yeah, only one game, but hopefully it will jump-start him and the rest of the team.

Shocked to see that Felix Jorge was released. What's the consensus on why that move was made? Not making any progress with his injury rehab or what? Man, I hope this isn't another Chargois-like move that the Twins will soon regret.

He wasn't released. They have 7 days to trade him, and if he clears waivers he is still with the organization.

Oops, thanks for that reminder. I sometimes forget that's part of the waiver process. I hope we can hang on to the kid. Lots of potential there.

Tom, you have perfected your writing style. Good stuff!

Thanks for reading Jimbo, glad to hear you're enjoying them, especially even one where the Twins lost 10-6

Thanks for checking them out. Yes, that is definitely something that could be expanded. Maybe there's some kind of a threshold to land on one way or the other.

 

At the end of each game, the winning team's WPA totals 0.5 and the losing team -0.5, so maybe anybody who has over 0.1 or under -0.1 should be listed? I'll keep thinking about it, good suggestion.
