I live in Bisbee. You know the area? (It's hailing now, I have a heavy sweater on ... no need to hurry summer, I love it)

I had a friend that lived in Sierra Vista, so visited once. Bisbee had a ... former hippee/art commune kind of vibe ... but that was a long time ago. There are a couple others here who are actually from the area.

Bisbee has become way too touristy - and by that I mean "walk around with a camera stuck to their face, get drunk, shout until 2 a.m." Also a lot of non-artistic retirees to go along with the older hippies who are still mosying around.

Buxton doesn’t run on lefties (or steal third). I don’t know if I’d let him run down three anyway. He has to have more than raw speed to be adept at those things.

I'm guessing this is one of the last games we'll see Cave and/or Adrianza (at least until someone goes on the IL). With Astudillo back today and Sano likely back next week there just isn't roster space. Since the team will be playing every day I'm also guessing another reliever will be added fairly soon as well. I'm really looking forward to a bench of Garver/Castro, Astudillo, and Gonzalez.

C'mon, Bats! Pickup your damn pitcher! Yeah, he made an early mistake, but he he's been dealing since, including totally screwed by the umpire.

Even adding the RH bats--Schoop, Cruz, Cron--I see this club as more vulnerable to LH pitching. I definitely like Polanco better as a LH hitter and like Gonzalez' swing better as a LH hitter as well, so I believe that is part of the problem. 

 

In their careers, both Rosario and Kepler have been decidedly better vs. righties. That's also a factor in LH success vs. the Twins.BTW, Buxton's righty-lefty splits are non-existent.

There is no way a MLB club should foul off or pop up very hittable pitches so frequently. This is the vaunted offensive lineup? It is offensive.

Disagree. Not for the 2019 version of the Twins. And you left out the Twins best hitter vs lefties right now, also on the bench...Garver. Rocco just shooting and hoping with this lineup...wanted to rest some guys...and going against another leftie tomorrow. Also Keplers leftie splits are worlds worse than Rosario’s...yet Kepler is the one playing today. It’s a good bet Kepler has the day off tomorrow.

Hildenberger's stat line since the all-star break last year does not lie.

 

This is ridiculous. 

And Beamer just says he pitched well in the second half of last year...... 

Not paying attention.

 

After all-star break last year......

9.00 ERA, 1.81 WHIP, .325 average against.

 

He was really only "real good" in May, and pretty good in June.
